Elise, Janice, Naomi?

My sis is still thinking of an English name for her baby. Any suggestions? Elise, Janice and Naomi are in her top list right now.=) Anyway i thought Hayley was nice. But my sis said my house so many 'ly' already. Renly. Einly. Tzely. But Hayley not nice meh?=(

My parents went to visit her last month. I couldn't cuz i was in the midst of my study break!*big sigh* Anyway, just some photos.=)






And when she was one month's old, she kena shave botak.=P


And wore this cute hat to cover..


This is the latest pic i have of her, which is almost a month edi.



Anyway, i was looking through her photos and i found a series of photos that i thought was really funny and cute.








So adorable right?XD

No wonder they are so fat!

Double-clicked mozilla firefox. Her mainpage was yahoo.com. Was captured by the title 'Cheapest Fast Food Eats' and the statement 'The least expensive menu items at your favorite chains tend to be the worst ones for you.'
Out of curiousity, decided to have a look. One link led to another.

The links were very interesting, but i would say they're more applicable to those in America. Cuz most of them aren't available in Malaysia anyway.

BUT.....
one drink left me completely in awe.

Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake


Wana have a go on how much calorie this one drink has?
Just a hint, it's MORE THAN my DAILY calorie need.

2310 calories. Yeap, it's so bad, it's named THE WORST DRINK IN AMERICA.

Some facts i found interesting. More info available here.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
240: The number of minutes you'd need to spend on a treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn it off.


The drink was introduced in 2008, and Baskin Robbin's does seem to be utterly pleased with their 'achievement'. So much so that they came up with another drink which won them the award:

'THE WORST FOOD IN AMERICA IN 2009'
for this: Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake


A whooping 2600 calories. I think out of the 114 people in my class, only Choon Hau and Sofia can have this drink.=P

And I just recalled Kenneth telling me his uni cafe in Michigan serves buffet for 5USD per person. If u have a card (i don't know what card), whenever u buy one large pizza, free one large pizza. Milk and drinks are sold in gallons, not litres. The Chicken Katsu he had in a Japanese restaurant ystd had bout 30-40 strips! (The one i had ystd in Pyramid only had 5-6 strips!)

No wonder ppl in America are so fat!

I wanna go home=(

I've been in KL for two weeks now, which i was supposed to be here for only a little more than a week. University of Strathclyde is holding us all back by not providing us our offer letter to apply for the UK Visa. It's been postponed again and again, and im stucked here waiting TILL FURTHER NOTICE.

Anyway, i went for hospital attachment last week, but i feel lazy to type out the endless and some heart-breaking stories that happened throughout the week. Anyhow, the most bizarre would probably be me and my partner + A DEAD BODY + a few guys in the same lift.
One thing's for sure. Whole day walking and clerking patients from ward to ward was tiring. I'm not sure if i can stand working in the hospital next time.=(

Mooooving on, i went to IMU Ball last sunday @ Marriot. The food s***s except for the appetizer and the dessert which were all right. I only had bout one third of the soup. Anyway, great job to the IMU committee!! It was a great ball despite the food.=) And great job to the three receptionists too!!*Ehem* Im one of the them. *coughs* I've posted the photos on Facebook.=)

IMU Ball Part 1
IMU Ball Part 2

So now, i'm back in Putra Heights for the weekend. Going with bro dan kawan-kawan sekalian (his gf and her sis) to find my sis and bro-in-law in Klang tomoro and then head to Kuala Selangor for seafood. Well, at least the tentative plan is to do so.=)

Me sleepy. Signing off. Adios.

Of being organic

Today i accompanied my mum to her fren's house cuz she was going to teach a couple of ladies (aunties) how to cook THE ORGANIC WAY.

Being a bit curious, i tagged along=) When i reached her house, i was amazed by how 'organic' the place was. There were sooo many organic things e.g. organic soya sauce, sugar, dark soy sauce, olive oil, oat, seasonings etc etc etc..

Anyway, she cooked many dishes for us, but i only took one photo of the food..hehe..not good la right ppl cooking i keep taking photo..


It may look like an ordinary mee..BUT, the mee is actually made of organic red rice flour, the sauce that made the dish darker is organice molasses (sth like dark sweet sauce), organic seasonings for taste. Some vege were planted while for other dishes the ingredients were all 'disinfected' using ozonizer.

Very few of the MANY organic stuffs.=) Some i didn't even know existed!!







The aunty also made us a drink, made of 'mu4 cao3' (mandarin) and green apple. It tastes only green apple but apparently this 'mu cao' has myriad benefits. The aunty even showed us a video on the goodness of mu cao, produced by Taiwan Adventist Hospital.(if im not mistaken)

A photo of 'mu cao'.


In the video, a guy with initial BP 220 started taking mu cao continuously for 6 months. His BP is now controlled at 140/95. Another lady who had cancer (I don't know which type) didn't undergo surgery but took this mu cao. The cancer was miraculously cured. Many people have benefited from this plant. Apparently it is good for detox as well, as is widely available and very easy to grow! My mum already took back satu batang to plant.=P

Just a side note (reaaaaally side), Whisper Ultra night twin pack is selling for rm19.50 in Guardian and rm19.60 in Giant. It's really cheap!!=)

Must Watch!!

Not sure if you guys have watched this video before, but courtesy of cynthia who sent me a mail with this video, I decided to post it here.

It's really really touching. The guy's name is Nick Vujicic.

As promised=)

Finally i've got time to upload more photos of my niece..and as promised, here are some of them=)

She is almost two months old now, but the photos below were taken quite some time ago d..

Apparently she just loves the camera, and the more pics my sis take of her, the more reluctant she is to go to bed.=P So my sis decided to not take so many photos of her.=(







I will probably go to kluang end of may. So when i see her, i will take lots more photos!! The plan is to play with her till she gets really tired. Then she ma will sleep la right?*ngiek ngiek ngiek*

Personality test

I read Huey Ying's blog, which led me to Jane's blog and Ai Wui's blog. They did a personality test which led me to give it a try, out of curiousity and boredom.=P

The test led to this result:

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.


Anyway, I find the results pretty convincing except some parts:
1) I don't think I am very straightforward.
2) And the part that I will end up with an unusual job, does studying pharmacy but end up being a housewife considered unusual?=P
3) I actually am not confident that I will be successful in my career.

I'm Back in Sitiawan!!

I am back in Sitiawan, anyone back too? I will be here for a week before heading to Seremban. This post is a reminder for myself of what I have to do the coming two months.=P

13-17 April: Hospital attachment in Seremban.
19 April: IMU Ball in JW Marriot.
20-21 April: Visa application online.
22 April: Visa application checking with MSL. Crap, is it 22 or 23rd april?? Then wait wait and wait till my application is approved.
6-8 May: Holiday to Pulau Perhentian with friends=)
11-15 May: Biro Tatanegara (BTN) camp

After that would be my shopping and packing. I am flying off early June, date to be confirmed but my class starts on either 9 or 10 June.
Hope to meet u guys before I fly=)
