Life is so full of surprises~

surprise #1: I'm blogging this post after many, many months and there's a major TV studies assg to hand in next week as well as an INT class test!

surprise #2: I don't even rmb my username and password for my own blog. Took me half an hour to sign in...trying to rmb it.

surprise #3: All prepared for life in Melbourne city in 2008 and looks like i'll end up in the suburbs if my student exchange application form goes smoothly.

surprise #4: Gippsland doesn't look as bad as i initially thought. Way cheaper living expenses, big campus, savour mother nature (should be a good thing, rite?)

surprise #5: My parents going to Hong Kong and Macau without me =( The last time they went overseas was in 1996! (but in 1996, i got to go with them!)

surprise #6: My dad tells me 2 months ago that he'll be taking early retirement. So, instead of having mum nagging at me most of the time...i think i'll have dad nagging at me as well. Wow...does this mean more visits from them in the apartment?? If so, where do i hide my bf "if he comes in the 1st place"?

surprise #7: My dad has a HOT PINK iPod shuffle and i don't! Gosh...my dad who doesn't even know how to use the internet has an iPod and i don't! Well, can't blame him, he won it from a lucky draw...hopes he hands it to me tho *kekekeke*

To conclude this blog entry, I'll be back with more surprises after my mid-sem break!!! *winks*

p/s: blogspot dun have hot pink for me to bold my words with *SURPRISE!*

Work?

Supposed to do my presentation on environment in moral studies class but unfortunately, or should I say fortunately, due to time constraints, I didn't have time to present mine. It was lucky coz my whole group did not include moral values into our presentation. SO now I gotta add it into my presentation...an extra workload!...and present on Thurs...arrrgh! Anyway, for JRN assg...for critique purposes...today is the day I've been wondering what to write about. Stroke was today's news and I thought of writing about that or obesity...but then again...interviewing doctors might be pretty difficult. My alternative topic is Maxis Wireless Broadband. My angle would be...hmm...introducing it, its features and "What makes it better than the biggest internet service provider in Malaysia, Streamyx?"..."How would Maxis compete with the well-known Streamyx?". Hopefully, people from Maxis Centre in Taipan can be my interviewee. If this doesn't work out, I've no idea whatelse to write about. Sent an e-mail to Maxis Centre and crossing my fingers, hoping to get a reply soon...i doubt it though.

Fun?

Been admiring my brand new dimmer lamp bought fr Ikea on Sunday. Wonderful stand lamp! I get to adjust its brightness...play with the dimmer...LOL! To me, RM135 was worth it. Hopefully mum doesn't nag me. I've been hunting for dimmer lamps for a very very very long time! And now, I'm...ya, broke!!!

My wonderful Ikea dimmer standing lamp!I just can't stop admiring it =)

Today, pasta was my dinner. Prepared by Chef Yina...someday she's gonna pass as my chef. She just seems to lurrrrrrrrve cookin' so much! Hahaha! Joined by her friend, the IMU guy (she calls him) which means...I don't rmb his name actually. Hehe. Anyway, after dinner YINA DROVE HIS CAR ALL THE WAY TO SUBANG PARADE!!! Now, that was amazing! The trip there I was like really really tensed! I think I was more tensed than the IMU guy (the owner of the car)...haha! Coz she had sooo many questions b4 we started off eg: "where do I put in the car keys?" "how do I wind down the window?" "How do I on the lights?" "Oh...I forgot to put on my seatbelt!" We were so afraid that the next q she's gonna ask "where's the accelerator and brakes?" Luckily, she did not and it was a safe journey to and fro. The journey back was hilarious though. We went there for dessert...Swensens...for ice cream. We shared 'Earthquake' 8 scoops all in and it was like RM2 for each scoop and the IMU guy paid for it...oooh....free dessert =) We had cookies and cream, butterscotch, mocha, sticky chewy choc, choc chip, raisin, macademia nuts & peanut flavours. I wonder whether I got the names right though. Haha!

Bon Apetit?

Right before I started this post, I came across a yahoo article bout the 10 mood lifter foods...yummy...u get to eat as well as be happy. Just the right thing for me right now considering that life is full of stress & depression. Maybe if ppl were to eat these foods, there will be less depressed ppl on earth =) ~CheerS~

Top Ten Happy Foods

Eating for a better mood boils down to this; control your blood sugars by eating every 4 to 5 hours throughout the day, eat a diet rich in soluble fiber, and incorporate foods rich in omega 3 fats, folic acid, B12 and Vitamin D - four nutrients that researchers have found to be mood lifting.
For meal plans, grocery lists, recipes and much more information on improving your mood, check out my new book, JOY BAUER'S FOOD CURES
The following are my Top Ten Happy Foods - bon apetit!
1. Wild salmon (rich in omega 3 fats and vitamin D) (Love salmon, but don't lk to cook fish)
2. Spinach - (rich in folic acid and soluble fiber)
3. Skim milk - (rich in Vitamin D and B12)
4. Ground flaxseeds (rich soluble fiber, omega 3 fats and folic acid) (No idea what this is)
5. Blackberries (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)
6. Omega 3 fortified eggs - (rich in omega 3 fats, Vitamin D and B12) (I always buy Omega 3 eggs...didn't feel like it was a mood lifter though...LOL)
7. Sardines ( rich in omega 3 fats and Vitamin D) (Hmm...I'll consider that)
8. Soybeans - (rich in soluble fiber, folic acid and omega 3 fats) (I miss uni's 'huang tang' soya bean so much...didn't get to drink it for some time already...sigh)
9. Beans (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)
10. Brussels sprouts (soluble fiber and folic acid)
Plus an extra for good luck!
11. Sunflower seeds - (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid) (Guess I'll need more of these if they work as good luck charms...lol)

Anyway, now I gotta start doing my work...arrgh...it just seems never-ending...sigh. 2 posts a day just shows how lazy I am to start doing my assignments. ~CheerS~ to my never-ending assignments!!Woohoo!!

~everyday is a nice day~

2007-04-24T11:22:00.000+08:00

My 21st?

Yina got me a TL pencil box at 12am. Body shop produts fr Joy, Sze Yin & Jason. Chocs fr Chin Kit. My best pals still owe me prezzies. Bikini fr Chee Sheng...hehe. Cash fr my dad =) The worst bday gift award goes to myself for crashing my car that very night! It was really nice of my uncle who drove all the way fr Ampang to Subang to help me settle things the very next day. Thanks to Kai as well for his car...lol...must rmb to pay him back when I'm finally not broke! Also, a few days after the car crash, I went to the 1st bar in my life: Skybar & my 1st martini tho i prefer Yina's margarita (if that's how it's spelt...I alwiz get it wrong). A nice bar with swimming pools for ppl to fall into when they get drunk & a nice view of KLCC.

My baby back from the workshop. I miss my baby so so much!

Sem break?

Went back to Ipoh with my cousin, a place where there's lots of cheap & good food that are not miles away fr my house.

Greeted by these gifts on my bed. Card & doggy fr my bro & decor in the centre fr my mum.

Written in the card by my bro. He's mean after being nice.

Every single day in Ipoh I had supper with my family & my cousin as well. Wanted to eat all the good food b4 returning to KL where most of the food suck. 1st night dimsum right after dinner, 2nd night laksa & stinking tofu (doesn't stink at all) right after dinner & 3rd night ipoh chicken kuey teow & hakka mee also right after my dinner!LOL! Really miss that laksa...best laksa I've tasted so far. Had my haircut as well as my brows shaped (my 1st time). Back in KL, it was shopping, shopping & shopping...i mean, window shopping coz I'm broke most of the time. God knows where all my money go all the time! Bought a wireless router (149) fr PC fair which was amazingly cheap...it was half the price of the 1st router (around 300) & dad offered to pay for it. How nice =) Midvalley: Had the most bitter drink i ever tasted in my life! Fr Kwong Woh Tong, the place ppl go to for gui lin gao.

BEWARE!!! EXTREMELY BITTER!!!

My cousin, Flo - reaction fr the bitterness of the drink!

My reaction upon tasting the bitterness of the drink!

p/s: These 2 reactions captured were not intentional for posing purposes! It even gave me goosebumps! It was THAT BITTER! -end of mid-sem break-

The visit fr my parents?

My parents visited me last weekend. My baby looks nice, clean & shiny, thanks to my dad who took it to the car wash =) and the floor in my apartment is finally mopped thanks to my mum. LOL!

~blogging slack~

2006-12-18T00:29:00.000+08:00

Hmm...guess i've not been blogging for a few days...getting lazy already. Anyway, gotta get this entry in no matter what coz in this entry...I wanna say," YINA GOT ME A XMAS PREZZIE!!!WOOHOO!" Haha. She's so nice. She says it's sth that I've been wanting for a long, long time...a keyboard?..."Nope, too expensive"...so sad. However, I trust her 'sth that I want for a long, long time already' Hehe. Thanks and CHEERS to her. Now, I wonder whether Bernard will come back with some souvenirs fr US...hehe.

What hv I been doing for the past few days? Hmmm...PC fair...2 days in a row. Went there on the 1st day with my frenz and wanted to buy mp4, so did 2 of my frenz...so went there on the 2nd day but no1 ended up buying any 1 of those mp4s. Haha...too bad. Wanted to buy speakers as well...but none that I liked when I was there so I ended up with some DVDs. After that, shopping again...in JJ...lol. Here's the place where I found the cheapest dress and shirt EVER!

Here, now Yina can hv a look at it. Bought it fr Soda exchange, 98 bucks and I got it for HALF PRICE! I've nv ever seen a nice dress worth below 50 bucks. The shirt, which I do not hv a pic for it is worth 70 sth but I got it for HALF PRICE as well. LOL...i just love the dress and the shirt so so so so much. Nice?

On that same day, bought Wan Yee a bracelet for xmas. Hehe. Today, got 2 xmas gifts. 1 fr my grandaunt, the other's fr my mum. Saw a bracelet that I really love and it's sooo cheap...10 bucks! But my mum said she'll pay...as part of my xmas prezzies and she refuses to let me wear it today. I was sooo sad. Sobz. Oh yeah, smelt a really really nice smell in Ipoh Parade today and I started searching for the source coz we smelt it around the scented candles area. Wanted to get that scent so that my room will smell really really nice. So I searched high and low while my mum looked around at the nice stuff on display. In the end, my mum helped me search for the smell as well...hahaha. We gave up though coz none of the candles or aromatherapy stuff smells lk that. So we walked to the bed sheet department and AGAIN we caught that smell. *Sniff Sniff* and a man holding a mop walked pass...hmmm...man with a mop and the nice smell...guess the nice smell must b the detergent stuff or sth...haha...too bad...guess I'll nv ever get that scent in my room.

Hmmm...whatelse of interest? Oh yeah, an article fr yahoo says, a research shows that kidz who r more vegetarian as they grow hv higher IQs. This is due to the fact that ppl with higher IQs r more conscious of their diets. Therefore, they r more likely to lean more to the veg diet. Well, I twisted it a lil tho : If u lk meat, u're a retard! Hehe. Posted it as my msn msg and many ppl asked me that q and I got to call many ppl retards ytd. That was fun! Hahaha. Today, my msn msg reads : I'm a romantic kisser with a link to the kissing quiz....lol.

TV?Hmmm, I finally watched The Passion of Christ. Many ppl say it's a really really touching show and most of them cried while watching it. Too bad i didn't. It was a really gruesome show when they tortured Jesus...more lk violence to me. To most Christians though, they see sacrifice or sth lk that I think. Or maybe I wasn't that touched because I was msn-ing while watching it and kept missing the subtitles coz the whole show was in Latin...lol.

The Passion of Christ

Had another round of mahjong with my bro and my mum ytd nite. Hopefully my mahjong skills will be polished b4 next sem starts. Kai challenges me to a game of mahjong...lol.

~End of blog entry : My friend found himself a gf...lol~

~in da blogging mode again~

2006-12-13T23:09:00.000+08:00

Woohoo...I've been blogging quite constantly. Maybe too free...got nth better to do. Skipped a day or 2 though. 2 days of badminton sessions in a row...my ipoh frenz...the badminton freaks...lol. Well, after badminton ytd, i cooked spaghetti again! Hehe...for lunch...cooked for my mum and my uncle this time. At least my uncle finished the whole bowl...means it's not really bad actually. "Any1 wanna try the *oriental* spaghetti (as Joy calls it) that I cook?" Yeah, and my mum said those words again "It's nice" As I cooked, my friend, Chee Sheng (Cheel) came and watch me cook and she kept on saying "I dun dare to eat" sigh...so sad. One of my closest friends doesn't trust my cooking...lolzz.

Well, after that we went shopping in JJ again. Haha...nowhere else to shop. Went there with my childhood friend, Wan Yee. Good thing she didn't ffk me this time. She's alwiz bz with her stuff....God knows what...lol. Anyway, here are some pics fr JJ's Watson...

Wan Yee on the left and Cheel on the right...with xmas hats on our heads "special thanks to Watson". This pic was taken with an employee watching us as well as an old man. LOL! Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way....the xmas mood.

Wan Yee picks up another accessory, puts it on her head and asks me "Nice ah?"

This is what I answered : "That question? You should ask ur bf, not me"

So, Hong Keat, if u're ever reading my blog (if she gives u my blog address), answer her question, k. Haha.

This bunch of guys are fr SMI, my brother's friends. Met them at JJ. Do they look lk they just came back fr a vacation at the beach? Yeah, they just came back fr LTC in Penang. Especially the guy in the bright green shorts. Haha. Well, this is actually my way of revenge. He talks a lot and refuses to get me a pair of Nike sports shoes for xmas. He ended up pointing at Timberland and asks me for a pair of Timberland shoes for xmas. Bad Wai Hin!!

After the shopping session, which ended up not buying anything, I was looking forward to go home, hv my dinner, watch tv and start blogging the day's events but sadly, they force me to go Sushi King...sobz. For Dinner! Gosh, I hate sushi. However, Wan Yee got me to eat a sushi made of rice and tofu. Not bad though so I decided to get another plate of that but souldn't finish it in d end. Decided to stop calling anymore sushis...dinner at home is still on my mind. Lolz. After the meal, Sinn Yi turned as red as a lobster...hopefully she's ok. Then, I bought 3 slices of cakes fr Secret Recipe for supper. "Haven't had my dinner but already thinking of supper, huh." Got a Banana Choc, Blueberry Cheese and Choc Indulgence. I'm a chocolate lover...yum yum. Went home for dinner and started mahjong session with my mum and my bro while eating those cakes. There's still 1 more slice in the fridge though. Well, the mahjong session ended at 3am and I played candy cruncher till 4am. I'm sooo happy! I broke Joy's candy crunching record! WOOHOO! Envy me, JOY!

To end this blog, here are some pics of my other dog, Jack. He's old and not used to taking photos...

This is Jack.

He's walking up and down. I wonder what he's looking for...hmmm???

Orh...looking for a place to pee. Yer...he's sooo obscene...peeing in front of my camera.

Finished peeing?Ok...CHEESE!

That's my Jacky. Got him since Form 1 or 2. He's getting old BUT really garang. Good guard dog.

P/S: Still waiting for a reply fr 8TV...sighzzz...

P/S: PC fair on Fri (stadium). Chin Kit says he's sick on Fri *good prediction...today's Wed* LOLzz. Just kidding, k, CK =) *I think his fever will go up another 2 degrees upon reading this blog entry. Haha*

~The Oprah Winfrey Show~

2006-12-11T22:05:00.000+08:00

The Oprah Winfrey Show...my favourite talk show. Personally I think she inspires every single person who watches her show. She's sooo courageous...outspoken...and she doesn't seem like she has any flawz at all. How nice it is to be like her, rich, famous, influential, independent and the best moments of her shows are the parts where she gives the audience or her guests surprises! Lol...I just can't stop laughing at some of their reactions! In today's Oprah Show...this temptation was introduced - Oprah's 20th Anniversary Collection DVD...haha...I guess this is gonna go into my "Dream Come True" list. She's always asking ppl to dream big dreams...it's just so inspiring. Her show actually inspired a woman who's really, really shy to become a broadway star. That was amazing...though I dun really rmb her name...hehe. Well...maybe I'll just aspire to be like her...lol...like my fave phrase "Shoot for the moon, even if u can't, u'll land among the stars" and i started loving this phrase since i read p/s I Love You - Cecilia Ahern. Wow...that's amazing...I actually rmb the author's name. Haha.

To end this blog :
Anything extraordinary today? : None...except for this DVD...want it quite badly...sobz.
Current craze : Youtube...but can't seem to find the videos i wanna watch...nah, not porn...just short clips from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. that makes sense with head, body and tail.
Current fave song : Everywhere - Michelle Branch =)

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look you're never there
And every time I sleep you're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath it's you I breathe
You're everything I know that makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

P/S : I'm still waiting for 8TV...sigh...

Charmed is one of my favourite tv series...and here's a video of one of my favourite actors...lol...nice song too...any guesses who my fave actor is?lol

~Da Shopaholic~

2006-12-10T14:58:00.000+08:00

My sem break is like a continuous shopping routine day after day and the most amazing thing is...Ipoh has only T-W-O shoppable shopping malls - JJ and Ipoh Parade! Well, I guess these 2 places are becoming my home-s soon enough. I can even blindfold myself and still find the appropriate shops filled with clothes, shoes, gifts, accessories...even Popular and MPH bookstores have become 1 of my favourite places. Lolz.

My first pair of 'h-u-g-e' sunglasses from Penang.

Usually, i wouldn't choose such huge sunglasses...but it's DA TREND. Kinda like these sunglasses already. Hehe. This marks the beginning of the shopaholic era for me. After this pair of glasses, came a belt...then clothes from boutiques and i finally got myself some tubes and a shrug! This is then followed by...

A necklace, a mouse, a blue hippo, a pair of shoes, a pair of sandals and another belt!

These 2 cuties are just too irressistable to not buy them home and it's CHEAP!

Well, the Pride and Prejudice scene in the background is just my fave blogskin. Have been searching for ages and finally came along this amazing blogskin that i just love but had trouble setting it. In the end, I settled for that xmas blogskin. But then again, kept thinking of this P&P blogskin day and night and in the end I actually posted a msg on the designer's tagboard in her blog. Lolz. I am THIS DESPERATE! She replied me and said she'll send me the code but in the end I found out how to set it myself. Read her blog and she has loads of pics in her blog also about food, food AND food. I guess ppl just can't live without food...haha...which reminds me of the delicious laksa I had in pasar malam not so long ago. I'm not a person that's into spicy food but since that bowl of laksa, I craved for another bowl the next day when i was...ya, shopping again...in Ipoh Parade with my mum. We walked past a stall inside Ipoh Parade and got a whiff of some spicy laksa but sadly, when we asked them whether they're selling laksa, they said it's tomyam. So, tomyam for lunch...which was also satisfying enough to make up for my crave for laksa...hahaha. There, we had a glass of coffee plus 'leung fun' which was kinda odd when the waiter recommended it...but, "Boy! He was right!" It's soo nice and unique...haha. Well, actually i'm still craving for a bowl of laksa. Haha. Ok, back to the 'shopaholic'...

The nice pattern on the shoe...just can't resist to display it...hehe.

Well, after that, bought a shirt as well. But, sth more irresistable was coming up. The Grand Sale in Ipoh Parade! Lolz. This time, the Solvil watch was the temptation. But, Solvil Titus was having a 50% discount! Well, in the end, I paid a little more for the Solvil Titus watch. It's original price was 600 plus and I got it for half that price plus RM 30 voucher to spend on other goods. This is da most expensive watch I ever owned..."TA DA!"

I just LOVE this watch sooo much!

Actually, this isn't the last thing I bought. I bought a pair of shorts, 2 jeans, 2 skirts and another sweater....hahaha...and the last thing I bought...is this bag...

My shoulder bag from Sub =)

That marks the end of my shopping spree...hopefully not...coz I still need to shop for xmas prezzies...hahaha. Guess I'll be doing that in KL right before my uncle's wedding dinner which is then followed by my granduncle's birthday dinner. Gosh, I'm getting really broke and in need of a job asap. My 8TV job? Don't really know whether it's gonna work...had to send snail mail coz my e-mails kept being blocked by their firewallzzz and the only way to apply for it would be to send them a snail mail...sighzz...

As for now, I'm sooo hungry and I wanna hv my lunch which I've not the slightest idea of what it is...which reminds me of cooking spaghetti for my mum for lunch a few days ago...hahaha. Like all mums, she says it's delicious...haha. Tmr is a good day for badminton...which means I gotta wake up early...and my frenz just refuse to let me take a photo of their sweaty selves for me to post in my blog....lolz...hopefully more luck tmr.

~The Resuscitated Blog~

2006-11-27T23:39:00.000+08:00

Well, this blog has been dead for quite some time and it's time to update it again with a different blogskin. So here goes...

Since after the exams, the weekend was spent with her boyfriend at the teeny weeny Midvalley. Got a doggie from him and had Nando's for lunch "It was sooo not full!" and pestered him for gui lin gao but too bad, he was full. Haha. Purpose of the trip was actually to get a present for each of my lovely roomies of half a year "Sigh...gonna miss them" The movie nights in the room, the mimic shows Joy puts on in the room, the songs played by Sze Yin over and over again, the good food Joy cooks, the non-stop laughter in the room and me, being a bzbody in the house, noticing the range of sports shoes my housemate owns and drooling on those shoes "Hahaha...too bad no photos taken on those" The list goes on with Sze Yin's classical word "Ooi!" and the talking in the sleep thingy done by all 3 in the room. Looking back on the funny moments I had with my roomies as I type on. Moving in with Yina into an apartment next semester...something to look forward to as well.

The doggie

The day before leaving for hometown, Ipoh, I went out with Joy and her engineering coursemates. Amongst them were a really smart guy with Monash engineering scholarship, an honest guy, a China guy and a guy with a reaaaally small head! *Wonders if Yina's laughing* "Haha" The roadtrip was interesting enough with loads of public transports involved. First destination was Pudu station to get tickets - a bus, a KTM and 2 LRTs "Incredible!" Something happened though, on the way back from Pudu, the 3 'gentlemen' excluding the smart guy, boarded the LRT leaving me as well as Joy behind and happily waved "Bye Bye" at us! "What NERVE!" Well, the 2 of us took the next train and upon reaching the station did not wish to speak to them as they looked at us with smirks and grins on their faces! However, WW3 didn't last long "Haha" We went to KLCC to shop and I ended up buying 2 prezzies, 1 for Sze Yin and 1 for Joy. We went to Kenny for dinner and welcomed by a waitress who conveniently forgot to bring her brains to work that day. She brought the wrong receipt over and over again despite being corrected so many times. They missed out a meal in the 3rd receipt so we just paid what was written there but the honest guy went to the counter to pay the missed out meal...LOL.

Back in Ipoh, one of my close friends introduced me to some kinda MLM stuff. Had a chat with his MLM friends and they kept explaining how it works and the potential earnings. It looked really really tempting but too bad I don't think I've the time to carry out what it requires, which is to recruit other people. Thought of it a few days but decided against it finally.

Also in Ipoh, I had lots of good food! Having drinks at cafes "not clubs...haha" with friends and chat through the night. Going for badminton sessions to burn up calories piled during my stay in KL. Having TV marathons as well...can't help it. Shopping is one of a girl's best friend *hints at the wishlist from window shopping* and bought loads of new clothes from boutiques. "My mum just can't stop buying clothes for me...haha" Reading some books as well - The Alchemist, The Tipping Point and not forgetting my favourite Cleo magazine.

The greatest part of my hols are : MY NEW MYVI CAR HAS ARRIVED!!! Woohoo! Will take a picture of it later.Haha. We drove to Penang and my dad allowed me to drive on the highway for the second half of the journey. We stayed at Casuarina Beach Hotel and it was really cheap due to a promotion - RM168 per night with 2 buffet breakfasts and 2 welcome drinks. Shopped at Gurney Plaza and my mum bought me a belt from there. During my stay there, I kept thinking of the LTC I had with my friends in Batu Feringghi's Christian Convention Centre. It was truly an unforgettable experience and i miss my Form 6 life a lot. At night, we went for a walk along the stalls at the side of the road and bought a pair of sunglasses - RM10 "Amazingly cheap!"

The room in Casuarina Beach Hotel

The view from the room was blocked by some coconut trees =(

The view from my room as well. An obstacle track.

2 horses while I was eating my buffet breakfast

The lovely koi pond in the hotel

The fishies inside

So, finally, this is the end of the first blog after its resuscitation. My blog is finally REVIVED! =)

Finally, i've decided on my feature writing story. I guess i'll b writing about credit card frauds. Hopefully this time i can get enough info to stick to it...sighz...if I switch topics again, i'll be doomed! Today's haze is pretty bad. I can hardly see wat's beyond the Sunway Pyramid hotel! When will it ever go away?! Been downloading stuff from the internet as well =)

Sighz...don't really know what I'm crapping here. Bits and pieces of boring stuff. Guess it had been a dull day yesterday with not much goings-on. Hopefully the song Lips of an Angel was successfully transferred to YC. It's a really nice song.

p/s: I miss my bf... =(

Current playing track: Tong Hua

Current smells (Sniffs): Joy's nice smelling cooking...

~StresseD - The Addictions & Temptations~

OMG OMG! Exams and assignment due date approching and i'm more eager to blog than ever...What logic is this?! Someone please tell me. Topic of assignment "reality show" not working out. Got to hurry my assignment but still blogging. LOL! Is this addiction or just pure stress?

Addiction, temptation...these 2 words are really driving me crazy. Temptation of big sale at Sunway Pyramid...20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 70%!!! Sighz...temptation of playing games such as candy cruncher...omg! Blogging, blogging and more blogging! Temptation to do anything except studying and finishing up my assignment. Sighzzz...this is baddddddd!

Exams and due date of assignment approaching like a dark, gloomy cloud and tonight i'll be watching the '3 fat virgins' theatre performance. Hahaha!

Must stop here...gotta go back to surfing the net. LOL!

Currently listening to: My stomach growling...and the rumbling sound of the washing machine

Current mood: Stressed!

Exam's on the 26th Oct!!!
Must study! Must study!

Anyway, feeling kinda lazy now. Hehe. Didn't really blog since i started my Monash University Communication Degree =) Hardworking, aren't I?lol. Ok, so...wanna update about my life here. Units taken are Intro to Communication Studies, Contemporary Worlds 2, Feature Writing, Marketing and Malaysian Studies. Sigh...Malaysian Studies...haven't really done much there. Anyway, life here, so far, not bad. My new friends here, real nice =) With compliments to Yina (Coursemate), Joy (Roomie), Sze Yin (Roomie), YC (Chauffeur...lol), Wan Yee (My childhood friend). Well, a little background on my new friends:

Yina: Always says i'm funny when the funniest things come from her actually. Loves repeating her sentences. A really great friend to have if you love miso soup, ice skating (we must learn how to skate someday...i love those nice toned legs of figure skaters...hehe), blogging, eating lots of food =D Likes dogs with a stupid look (pugs, bulldogs) Hahaha! Hopefully will not come strangle me when she sees this. Oh yeah, her latest craze is to be a Paris Hilton look-alike. But, honestly, i'm beginning to like Paris as well. Used to think Paris is only a party gal, but actually she can sing (Stars are Blind-nice song) and she's really creative (in my opinion) but she should learn how to dance =) Yina followed me to Ipoh last week and it was really amazing to see her expression when she ate in Ipoh...it's like she has never tasted good food in her life...Hahaha!! At the same time, i'd like to promote..."Ipoh has cheap and delicious food!"

Joy: My crazy roomie! She's the funniest person i've ever met. Really good at cooking and cooks extra food for me as well. As she's reading this while i'm typing, she's laughing away. Haha. Used to think she's weird as she talks to me when i was asleep. But she's damn hardworking (wakes up at 5 in the morning just to study! Amazing!) and damn tidy (makes a good housewife) Hahaha. Again, i think she'll strangle me when she reads this. Really fun to have her as my roomie, get nice food, get funny little dances and karaoke singing (we sing in the room...hahaha), get to watch lots of downloaded movies (we've cinema nights in the room...lol), get nice games from her as well. Oh yeah, 1 more thing, she's afraid of heights! But the most amazing thing is...she actually went on the 360 degree boat ride during the orientation bash though she closed her eyes throughout the whole ride. She's so sporting...cool!

Sze Yin: Another roomie of mine =) She loves shopping (Vincci, esprit), loves to watch mtv, loves Korean stuff, has really nice white speakers and a white lamp which i envy, has really violent games (but really funny games), loves to make up (has tons of it on the table), love the keropok lekor she cooks, she loves cooking as well and loves o2jam (plays it like a pro). Her speakers are so cool =) Often used when we watch movie during our "movie nights". Has a curler (used it to curl Joy's hair, haha) and really interested in fashion. Last but not least, she can sing =)

YC: Ahhh...my chauffeur...lol! Just kidding. Really appreciate the nice food we get to eat when you're around. *hint* *hint* tonight's dinner =) Too bad if he's really going to Aussie next year, then me and Yina will be stuck with sucky food from the Orange coffee shop, bored with the food in Pink coffee shop...sobz. But at the same time, wishes him all the best in Aussie if he decides to go there. He was my 'buddy' during orientation bash in Sunway Lagoon and we became 'food' friends since then...lol.

Wan Yee: Hey...this is my childhood friend. Really unbelievable that she is now doing her tertiary studies in the same place. She's currently in Sunway doing accounting. I'm so glad that she can mingle with my friends. Hopefully everything's ok for u, my dear friend. Anything you want, just tell me. Any problems, i'll try to help you out if i can (listening will do as well...hehe). You and I have the longest friendship...hmmm...how long has it been?...since kindy?LOL. Hopefully we remain as friends for life. Contact me more often, ya. Well, a little background information for those who don't know her yet. She can really cook! Other things will be, she loves to read especially Harry Potter, loves music (will teach you how to play the piano someday...hehe), these days i think she's into blogging as well and scared of doggies!

Well, that's all about my friends here in Monash. Studies-wise...arrgh...loads and loads of assignments! Presentations, SCARY! Good thing I don't have presentations anymore. But then again, after those few presentations, hopefully i'll be more confident in my future presentations. Reminder: Must talk in class to get marks for class participation!LOL! Lecturers not bad. Some of them are really good lecturers and I really respect them.

Next, gonna talk about some of the nice food. So far, the best would be Kim Gary's french toast. Thanks to Yina for introducing it. Another one would be Bar-B-Q! Again, recommended by Yina again. Another place for nice food would be New Paris, recommended by YC. Hopefully, today get nice food as well =) Yesterday's food was delicious, ate salted chicken from Ipoh with rice and miso soup by Yina =) with peaches for dessert. Oh yeah, I must also mention the soya bean couple. The soya bean stall beside my uni is really nice and i'm really addicted to it. Must buy a cup of soya bean mixed with black sugar this Thursday =D *slurp* *slurp* Always sold out by 2pm. People actually reserve soya bean with black sugar from that soya bean couple! Bought it for Chin Kit as well (last week). Hopefully he liked it. Here's a 'warning' to those people eating at Orange. Do not order 'teh o ice limau'. Joy went there, ordered it. The waiter brought her drink, took out a lime from his pouch, the same place he put money in, squeezed it into her drink, drops the lime into her drink served her the drink! Ewww!

Oh yeah, another little adventure i'd like to put in would be my interview at 8tv. That is such a happening place! I even got a tour around that station and HotFM as well. Got to enter the DJ's on air room! It was such a great experience and everyone seems so friendly there. Maybe someday i'll do a part time or internship job there =)

Last but not least, well, i might be moving out to my own apartment next year =) But then again, I also like my roomies. Sigh... But if I move out, I get a car and I won't be confined to the Orange coffee shop as well as that Pink coffee shop. Another thing would be...it's cheaper that way. My current rental is RM550 per person for a room with 3 people! This is CUT THROAT pricing! But, I'm really gonna miss my roomies...sobz. Another advantage of moving out would be having a dog! That's like so cool! If only someone would give me or sell me a Chi Hua Hua for a really, really low price and hopefully Yina will be allowed to own it. Then it'll complete her Paris Hilton look-alike profile...LOL!

Finally, I'm done with my latest entry for my blog which I've delayed for ages and ages. Got to go now, Joy has cooked me a delicious lunch =)

Currently, listening to this song. Check if out =)
Artist : Hinder
Title : Lips Of An Angel
Album : N/A
Genre : Modern Rock

Honey why you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why you crying is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
(And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why you calling me so late

Important announcement of the week! :Darn bored ler.H E L P!!!sighzzzzzzzzz...

Been changing my friendster profile almost every single day...i've got nth better to do.The best thing in my life for now is my storybook (ps, i love you).Another #1 international bestseller.It's a nice book...almost finishing it.3 quarters through.Taking my own sweet time to read it...can't imagine wat i can do to fill up my free time once i finish that book.This story starts off real sad...Holly lost her husband...and it's bout her coping with life without him.3 quarters through i think it's gonna b a story with a happy ending.I love the book actually.Hehe.Teaches me to appreciate the ppl around me.Everyone has their fair share of good and bad experiences.

Btw,who gave me 'lululu' 'lalala' comments in my post?I've a feeling it's chinkit.hahaha.

World cup is on this week.I can't believe i actually watched a match between England and Paraguay!Haha...Used to like Becks and Owen...but this time interested in Lampard but still lk Becks...nice hair...hehehe.

Other than those stuff...nth else is worth mentioning here.Just 1 more thing...waiting for uni results!!!When will it be out?!!!!!!!!haihz...wanna know where my frenz are heading.Wanna keep in touch with them...dun wanna lose my frenz...sobz...i do hope there's some kinda farewell party by somebody...anybody...wanna see all my frenz again b4 they go...sobz...

1 More Month

2006-06-07T12:47:00.000+08:00

1 more month and everybody will leave ipoh to further their studies!Can u imagine???Just 1 more month!!!Can't imagine how time flies.I know, i know, i've been telling my frenz how i long for this day to come...but when it's finally arriving, i feel a lil sad coz i won't be studying with most of my f6 frenz anymore...won't get to see them often as well...i do hope i'll end up in the same state with most of them so that i still get to go lepak with them or 'yum cha' with them and to whoever reading this, i do hope u ppl will rmb me and ask me out!Don't u ever dare to forget ME!!!(Will strangle those who don't rmb me...SERIOUS!!).Haha.

So far, i've applied Monash last weekend and i do hope to get a place there.I hope to study in KL coz i think most of my frenz will be there as well.Paid for hostel booking too...but the rules kinda bother me...they don't let any1 out after midnight on weekdays...don't let ppl cook in the apartment/condo...so where to get food?sobz.And, i'm soooo gonna miss the cintan noodles that i cook occasionally when i'm hungry at home...sigh.Well, that is if i do get a room there...the booking list is kinda loooonnnnggg..............................

Hmmmm...played my first volleyball game in KL with a group of new found friends during my 'vacation' in KL.Wow...great game...i think i love it though most of them speak mandarin.I'm the only 'banana' in the group of 20 over ppl.'Banana' is what they call ppl who are Chinese but don't know mandarin according to my 'godbro'.Sigh...lucky for me, i still understand wat they are talking.So, i ended up listening more than speaking.Went back to my uncle's hse around 12am and had my 'dinner' at 12am.Sobz...that was torture...had a terrible gastric that night.But, i really hope to join my new found frenz for another game of volleyball some other time.Hope they won't forget me...and...perfect my mandarin while mingling with them...hehe.

What else happened these days???Erm...oh yeah, my mum bought me 2 new sweaters and 2 new spaghettis as well!WOOHOO!!She hasn't been that generous before...kekeke...i mean for a very very very long time.Had a great time in KL.Though the bus journey sucked coz the air-conditioning was not working properly.Came back in Gunung Raya.A question for Pming:Does this company alwiz park their buses in wrong platforms??Nearly missed the bus because of that.

Anyhow, updates of my 'love' life: Have not been in much contact with moony as usual.Sighz...i guess Pming, Kath and Wanyee are so sick of me saying this over and over again.Haha.I just can't understand how to love someone when you don't even communicate much.Don't think he ever bothers to read my blog anyway...bet he doesn't even know this exists."kai go" pls tell me how to sustain such a relationship.Sigh......Hmmm...How did the 'moony' nick came out?Anyone remembers?Hehe.Cute nick.He should call himself that.

Currently reading a book called 'ps i love you' same author as 'where rainbow ends'.'Where rainbow ends' recommended by Kath.I thought u were s'posed to lend that to me.Holidays are going to end anyway.

Wanna watch 'the omen' but my bro said it's a very very scary show.I don't watch horror movies but i'm interested in that show for 'God knows wat reason'...haha.Hope to watch cooking master boy.Hope Bernard gets it back soon enough before i bore myself to death!

Wow...this blog is soooo long but i'm not done yet.Lastly, to Pming, Kath and Wanyee: Are u ppl interested to watch smi's drama hunchback?I'm planning to get those RM50 tickets.It's around mid of August.The parents night show...according to my bro...will probly be the worst night and he doesn't want us to watch his worst performance.Haha.So tell me wat r your plans k.

That's all for now.Gotta go eat lunch now.

To KiLL A MockingBird

2006-05-08T02:13:00.000+08:00

Wow...to kill a mockingbird is such a nice story...can't put the book down since i started reading...end up no time to blog.I've been dying to read this book for ages!I din dare to buy it at 1st...thought it was 1 of those boring endless classic books but i was proven wrong...it's such a nice book.Decided to read it because this book has alwiz been on the top-selling books list.It was all worth it!L O V E this book sooooooooo much...now gonna start part 2 of the book...can't wait.

Anyway,watched Mission Impossible 3 ytd.Not bad...this is the 1st ever mission impossible movie whereby i watched it fr the start till the end.Watched with my family till almost midnight.I really enjoy late nite shows.My parents nv let me watch movies at a cinema till midnite...and ytd was 1 of those rare occasions.How nice if my parents gonna let me watch late nite shows with my frenz...but i dun think my frenz will b able to watch midnite shows with me coz most of them are gals...sigh...no use seeking permission =(

Talking bout movies...i watched Forrest Gump recently on TV3.Wow...another nice movie!It's filled with life lessons...a very meaningful movie bout a retarded boy who grew up sumwhere.His mum taughtt him important life lessons which he applied in life.He went to war with these values and was awarded for his bravery (he saved his liutenant).Then, he played ping pong and he became a champ.When he finally left the army, he went shrimping and with a lil bit of luck started a shrimping business and earned lots fr it.He got married in the end to his childhood fren Jenny and ended up with a brilliant son.It's a really amazing story with sad moments, touching moments, etc.I feel lk watching it again coz i sorta missed the beginning.To conclude my view on this movie...i jkust think that this story is inspirational with values even we can apply in our lives.

Hmmm...watelse did i do these few days?Oh yeah, i tried installing The Sims 2 but without any success!Sigh...i must nv ever waste money buying computer games anymore.This is not even the 1st time i can't install a game.Don't know whether it's because i'm bad at installing the games or these games really hv some kind of quality problem...or maybe...well...probly computers just hate me for no particular reason...sigh...just NV EVER BUY COMPUTER GAMES!!!

I guess that's all for my long winded blog today.Can't wait to climb into my bed with my little mockingbird book...read it...enjoy it...Gosh...i just love this book!So, goodnight blog.

New blog or should i just stick to this...?

2006-05-01T16:31:00.000+08:00

Should this even be my online diary?wat's the point of having a 'diary' wen every1 fr my friendster can gain access here?Wanna share my secrets and heartaches with my close frenz but almost every single person who has my friendster can see them.Wanna sulk...wanna pour out my feelings but i'll end up with a useless blog with a whole lotta crap which nobody will understand wat i'm writing about...sigh.I guess chee sheng's right.i should just create a new blog in livejournal.com....but....i'm gonna miss this blog...sobz.Wat the heck...i guess i'll just blog at both places with different contents...kekeke...good practice for my writing skills and to kill time!But right now, i'm lazy to create a new blog...mebbe tonite...hehe.

Finally back to BLOGging...
