It's a Fishy life

My first movie^^

2010-01-18T05:36:00.002+08:00

After going to sweden, i've somehow became a Swedish hero i have no idea why or how it happened. But they made a video, and i was in it!!

Here's the video=)

I feel so blessed!!XD

A cute lil poem entitled 'Fishy Fishy'

2010-01-07T06:04:00.003+08:00

Fishy fish munch, munch, munch.

Eats her food with a big crunch!

Fishy, fishy swimming by

She just looked! Maybe saying "HI"

Fishy, fishy swimming around

The mayor of her own little town.

Fishy, fishy Yummy, Yummy

Now...she is in my tummy.

I was a MAID today

2009-12-13T08:54:00.003+08:00

First working experience in glasgow, i would say it was great!! It's the very first pounds i earned since i came to UK and i'm very proud of myself!lol...except that i really did feel like a maid, serving people, doing the heavy cutleries and plate liftings and all.

It was a christmas party (a company's i assume), and everyone was dressed up so nicely!

The upsides were that i worked with a really good waitress which did most of the heavy lifting..=P And that the table i served had some very nice people who volunteered to pass the soups and so i didn't have to walk as much. Cuz the grand ballroom i worked in consists of rectangle instead of the standard round table. Each table had 40 seatings.

The downside was that there were some weird people who kept asking for food although they've already been served, many rather 'BIG' people who impeded my walking, and the fact that they really waste food. The main dish was turkey, and some of the people just chewed a bit and stopped eating. While for the dessert, a lot just ate less than 5% and left it there. I threw away soooooooo much of food, so much so that i feel so bad!!

Anyway i secretly took some photos of the ballroom..hehe..so here they are..=)

These are mint choc i 'took'. It was part of the dessert and many people didn't take them. We took it back into the kitchen and was told to throw them all away!! HEY it's such a SIN to throw food away! And these are wrapped in foil plus they're CHOCOLATES!! So i mati-mati also took them although i didn't have pocket. (I hid them all underneath my shirt cuz i tucked my shirt in)

And on our way back via train, we saw this on the seats..hehe so i decided to take a photo of it. Mind you, it's USED!lol

Kaai yirng's one??=P She seems happy!!@.@

Looking at Breasts is Healthy

2009-11-04T08:34:00.002+08:00

This is too funny not to share..=P

10 Minutes Of Staring at Breasts Daily Prolongs Man's Life by 5 Years

According to German research published in New England Journal of Medicine, men staring at women's breasts in fact prolong their lives with years.

Just 10 minutes of looking at the charms of a well-endowed females is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out," said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist.

The team led by Weatherby was made up of researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, and found this results after monitoring for 5 years the health of 200 male subjects, half of whom were asked to look at busty females daily, while the other half had to abstain from doing so.

For five years, the breasts oglers presented a lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and decreased risk of coronary artery disease.

"Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at large breasts makes men healthier. Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half." said Weatherby, who even recommends that men aged over 40 should spend at least 10 minutes daily admiring breasts sized "D-cup" or larger.

Well, men, look at breasts, then:

Looking at breasts is as healthy as going to the gym for 30 minutes daily and prolonged a man's life by five years.

I'm back!

2009-10-23T04:49:00.003+08:00

I've abandoned you for such a long long time. Sorry blog! Anyway the thing is, i've been so lazy to type. Watching dramas, doing surveys online and finding out the cheapest route + most convenient route from glasgow to stuttgart feels more fun. Basically clicking the mouse is easier than typing. Which was why i've been procrastinating!

I haven't blogged bout my trip, and if i'm going to continue being lazy, soon it will be the time for my next trip already!=P
Bout that, can anyone tell me what is the cheapest way to go from glasgow to stuttgart?? Please.....

Crap, i'm lazy to type again. This entry is just so crappy =.=

IT IS OFFICIAL!!

2009-08-20T22:27:00.004+08:00

My holiday has OFFICIALLY started!!! And i'm really thankful for it!! This month has been really taxing and i NEVER had the chance to have my 10-hour-sleep. Anyway, really glad that torturous FMT 1 and FMT 2 is over.

And that....I PASSED my Pharmacy Practice III EXEMPTION EXAM!!

I'm still in a state of

considering i got TWO big fat ZERO in the two previous class tests. NEGATIVE to be exact.

To elaborate how scary this is, it works this way. Everyone starts with 100% and then the marks start deducting. To pass the Exemption Exam we are supposed to get 70% and above.

Everyone is given a set of five prescriptions ranging from doctors and dentists to nurses and vet. There's also those emergency supply from patient or doctor and prescriptions with drug interactions. A lot more types but these are just few of them.

We're suppposed to act like real pharmacists and check if the prescriptions are legal and safe to dispense. For every mistake we get marks deducted.

Overdose -60
Wrong label -60
Failure to dispense -60
Wrong/incomplete dose check -30

and a WHOLE LOT MORE mistakes that gets our marks deducted. The first class test i think i got -20 if i'm not mistaken. And out of 116 of us, less than a quarter got positive for the first class test. And the record so far in my batch was -400!!

So i'm really really shocked when my name was called during the exemption exam feedback. Twenty of us passed, and so we don't have to take the final degree exam paper next monday.=P Congrats to us all.=)

Anyway, this was a long time ago already but just wana post a pic of it. We bought 6 perfumes in London for 30 pounds!hehehe.. Below are just 4 of them. And mine is the 'Devil Wears Perfume'

As a kick start to my holidays, here's a photo of a happy apple..lol... I 'cratfted' it while i was too bored studying.

My niece @ 22 weeks.

2009-07-29T05:10:00.005+08:00

She is super adorable!! She's really growing fast...time flies!! It's been almost two months that i'm here in Scotland. And it's really hectic. Just had my FMT class test today and to P109 juniors, read the past years!lol...
Tomoro's going to be pp3 class test. Hope i don't get negative marks AGAIN.*pray hard*

Anyway not going to bore with tests and studies..here's videos of my niece. Super the cute!!!

I've been neglecting my blog recently. All thanks to my hectic 9-5pm classes everyday.*sobs*

Today dictates my one month in glasgow. Time flies!! Come on baby, fly faster...fly fly fly to september!

Anyway, I will try to update more. Mayb next week after my class test. But oh well, i might just decide to sleep instead..=P

Latest update of me will be that next monday i will have a PP3 (pharmacy practice) class test that is very darn scary because of its negative marking. I heard of many seniors who get like -200 or -300.*cold sweat*
Pray hard i don't get anything negative! I want positive!!

And after the class test, i shall watch Harry Potter on wednesday and then me going LONDON!! Will upload tonnes of pics then.=)

2009-06-28T05:58:00.006+08:00

I'm slow.
I'm really slow.
I'm probably the last person who's blogging about scotland for the first time.
I'm sorry.
I'm lazy.
I'm lazy now too.
I'm just gonna let pictures do the work.
I'm actually going to post links to my photos in facebook.
I'm smart.

Life in Scotland
Edinburgh Part 1
Edinburgh Part 2

I did this in Scotland so far.

I kissed a girl, and i didn't like it.=P

I fell in love with a manequin in kilt.

I was at the place where J.K. Rowling found her inspirations to write Harry Potter.

I finally saw Greyfriars Bobby, the dog who accompanied his master who passed away, lying beside his grave for fourteen years till he died.

I watched the ancient Mickey.

I found a two door Swift.

I stole something from University of Glasgow.

I found something seriously fishy.

And I proved to everyone that i have the smallest mouth.

Good night everyone..*yawns*

Bye Bye Proton Saga

2009-06-08T00:44:00.008+08:00

My dad met an accident few days ago, but thankfully, he's NOT HURT in any way. But the car door is pretty badly hit and to fix it, it will cost more than 1k. So my dad decided to sell it off and get the rm5k voucher instead since we seldom use this car anymore, anyway.

So new car on the way.=) The downside of it is that the new car has to be a local car in order to get the voucher.*sighs* And who's gonna use this car huh? My sis probably...since she's FINALLY coming back to malaysia in about another three months time..*whee*

Anyway, some pics of the car.

Back door definitely have to change edi. Front door still can fix.

Look at the hole. I wonder what inflicted that damage.

The top view of the car. Door cannot close already.

This car has been with us for TWENTY-TWO years. I will miss it.=( I still remember the times we went to the beach so often in it. Oh, it's been so long.=)

And it's one tough car. The Proton Wira who hit it is in pretty bad shape.=P

Fly me to Glasgow

2009-06-03T22:52:00.004+08:00

I'm leaving.=( Although i know one year is a relatively short time, i still feel very much anxious. Nope, it's not excitement, sadly. Maybe i need some SSRI or SNRI or TCA or benzodiazepine.=.=

Anyway, here's my flight details:

KL-London (MAS)
KL 9 June 2009: ETD (Estimated time of departure)-11.40pm
London 10 June 2009: ETA (Est. time of arrival)-5.50am

London-Glasgow (British Midland)
London 10 June 2009: ETD-11.05am
Glasgow 10 June 2009: ETA-12.35pm

So those of you in UK, Germany, France, Czech etc...i might just appear at your doorstep.=) Except for Kenneth, you have to come pick me up, if not i simply run.*ngiek ngiek ngiek*

Once upon a time...

2009-05-28T21:44:00.008+08:00

I was packing and came across my photo album. And i recalled sth. Since i was 13 years old, ppl started telling me that i look old. 13 years old aka i reached my *ehem* puberty. I know many of my coursemates and friends might not believe me cuz according to them, i look young.
So here's some pics of me, from the age of a few months till recent. Trust me, i may look young before 12, but i do look old after that.

To start off, me being a baby!

I love this pic of me..feels like i was going to cry..lol

This was when i was..5? Cant rmbr. I think it was my birthday.XD

When i was 9, with my cousin's taiwanese wife. Seriously, she looks a lot better without make up. The heavy make up just ruins the natural beauty she has.=.=

When i was 11, at genting. I still looked young then, right?

Few yrs later..

I looked like this...

How old do u think i was then? I look old don't i? I was 14..FOURTEEN!! And i already look like this..-_-"

This was me last year.

And me last month.

Just compare this two to when i was 14. Seriously. Wen yi, TRUST ME when i say i understand how u feel when ppl say u look old...errr..i mean matured!

Memoirs of IMH (Institute of Mental Health)

2009-05-28T11:59:00.002+08:00

RECORD I

Patient A: "So how... this book not bad yah?"

Patient B: "Yah agree, excellent! Astounding work. No nonsense, sharp and concise to the point. But there's a major flaw in this piece of art – too many character names to remember!!!"

Nurse: "Hey! Can the two of you put the telephone book back to the original place?"

RECORD II

A doctor asked a patient: "If I were to cut one of your ears off, what will happen to you?"

Patient: "Then I will not be able to hear..."

Doctor: "Hmm…that's normal...so if I were to cut your other ear off, what will happen then?"

Patient: "I will not be able to see..."

The doctor became nervous and asked: "Why would you not see then???"

Patient: "Because my spectacles will fall off..."

RECORD III

IMH has an old lady who wears black, carries a black umbrella and squats at the entrance to the IMH everyday without fail, rain or shine.

The doctor wanted to administer treatment for her but decided to understand her behavior first.

So, the doctor also wears black and carries a black umbrella; squatted besides her everyday. The days go by...the two of them squatted side-by-side w/o a single exchange of word. After one solid month, the old lady finally broke the silence and asked the doctor: "Err...Excuse me! Are you also a mushroom?"

RECORD IV

A nurse saw a patient writing a letter. She got curious and went to take a peek. But the patient didn't wanna let her see.

Nurse (unable to contain her curiosity): "Who are you writing to?"

Patient: "I'm writing a letter to myself..."

Her curiosity grew and she thought to herself (Why would someone write a letter to himself?)

So she asked again: "So....what's written inside?"

Patient (got impatient): "You crazy ah? I haven't received the letter, how would I know??"

RECORD V

Two patients escape from the IMH. They climbed up a tree and one of them fell from the tree and started rolling on the ground.

After a while, the patient below shouted to the one on top: "Hey! How come you are not coming down yet?"

The patient on top replied: "No. no...I can't...I'm not ripe yet"

RECORD VI

One patient visited the doctor: "Doc...How? I think I'm a chicken since the day I was born..."

Doctor: "Wah! That’s very serious...Why do you only come and seek treatment now?"

Patient: "Because my family needs me to hatch the eggs..."

RECORD VII

One truck driver was doing his usual delivery to IMH.

He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to go home. He jacked up the truck and took the flat tyre down. When he was about to fix the spare tyre, he accidentally dropped all the bolts into the drain. As he can't fish the bolts out, he started to panic.

One patient happened to walk past and asked the driver what happened.

The driver thought to himself, since there's nothing much he can do; he told the patient the whole incident.

The patient laughed at him & said "can't even fix such a simple problem...no wonder you are destined to be a truck driver..."

Here’s what you can do, take one bolt each from the other 3 tyres and fix it onto this tyre. Then drive to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones, easy as that"

The driver was very impressed and asked "You're so smart but why are you here at the IMH?"

Patient replied: "Hello, I stay here because I'm crazy not STUPID!"

Ethan Bortnick

2009-05-24T00:14:00.003+08:00

I finally have the time to check all my forwarded emails! Some i've seen and read before, some worthy of note, and ONE particularly appealing!

Ethan Bortnick, a child prodigy pianist, age 6 when he first appeared in tv on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' in 2007, i.e. the video posted here.=)

It's absolutely entralling, he even composes his own songs! And trust me, it's no mere 'London bridge is falling down' or 'Mary had a little lamb'.

The Star, Friday 22 May 2009

2009-05-23T00:12:00.002+08:00

Hmmm, we just went to BTN camp last week and this week there's an article (BTN course teaches disunity) sent in to The Star by 'Disappointed', from BUKIT JALIL. A coincidence perhaps.=P

If you're interested, read it here.=)

Some pics from BTN camp

2009-05-22T22:50:00.002+08:00

Wen yi has FINALLY updated her blog on BTN camp. Which can only mean one thing. I'm gonna link to her blog for those who want to see pics and details on the things we did at the camp. How kind of me.*ngiek ngiek ngiek*

Here u go.
11-15 May 2009: BTN Camp

BTN camp=D

2009-05-20T14:23:00.005+08:00

I'm back from 5 days of BTN camp and IT WAS SO FUN!!haha..weird? Well, that's because the supposed brain-washing camp turned out to be not brain-washing at all! Thanks to the beloved facilitator i got for my group. I was in Group 6.^^ And Group 6 rocks!!XD

Well, since anyone can read my blog, i shall not mention much about things my faci did; both in life, and with us. Don't want to get anyone into trouble.=P But basically, i was really shocked at the fact that:

1) He is really really nice and patient.(One guy in my group day-dream most of the times, and he's very ok even when we don't respond to him)
2) He did many 'not so legal things' when he was younger.
3) He has very 'interesting' ideas when it comes to crime and politics.(cunning in a way..=P)
4) He respects whichever language we prefer to speak in. Be it English or Bahasa Malaysia. Which i doubt any other faci would allow. He can speak some Hokkien by the way.
5) He is very open when it comes to talking about politics, current and sensitive issues.
6) He rears dogs, since he was a kid. And u know how Malays don't want to get near dogs.
7) He's very acceptive of other religions. I can definitely see it from the stories he told us bout his Chinese and Indian friends.
8) The list will go indefinite if i continue...so i shall stop.=P

Well, of course, besides our preeminent facilitator, the physical activies were great too! Jungle trekking, abseiling from a height of 28m (if im not mistaken), running for 2km, etc were indeed fun. And abseiling was a lot easier than i thought!=D

And finally, my lovely groupmates. Some were more proactive, while some were rather quiet. But all very co-operative, ideas flooding in when it comes to our persembahan of the song 'Malaysiaku Gemilang'

We made a bond, and i'm truly glad to have met them.=) I even bumped into one of them in sunway pyramd ystd. Sungguh ada jodoh.XD

My Friendster account is highjacked-_-"

2009-05-06T22:23:00.004+08:00

Who still logs in to their friendster account nowadays? The last time i logged in was i think 2 months ago, mayb 3. And the last last time i logged in was probably half a year ago.
Anyway, yesterday i suddenly thought of my friendster account so decided to log in.

My usual e-mail and password.

Was shocked to see this. The email address u entered is not a valid login???

So i re-typed my email and password. But the same thing appeared. Although i was confident that was the correct email i used, i tried with other emails that i have, and with all the possible passwords. Attempts in vain.=(

At first i thought my account has been deleted cuz i didn't log in for too long a time. Anyhow i decided to google myself.

And look! There am i!

Clicked on it and this girl appeared.

I ignored it cuz obviously that account doesn't belong to me..duh...*oblivious that it was actually mine*

So i logged in Kenneth's account to find myself. And was shocked to see that 'BUNGA' girl was his featured friend. In place of me!

Clicked on her. And realised ALL THE INFO of 'her' is exactly the same as mine. Well, of course, except my name, photo, and location!! And some additional irritating guys' testimonials. All my albums are still there, except that the photos in them have been deleted.

How could this have happened!!! I didn't log in in any other computer except my own! Anyway, i've deleted her from Kenneth's friendster. And so to you guys who still have 'me' as your friend, please delete it as well! Thank you=)

Elise, Janice, Naomi?

2009-04-30T14:19:00.006+08:00

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!

2009-04-26T20:32:00.007+08:00

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=(

2009-04-24T22:58:00.002+08:00

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!!

2009-04-07T13:34:00.004+08:00

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=)

2009-04-07T00:04:00.004+08:00

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

2009-04-04T21:35:00.007+08:00

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!!

2009-04-04T20:44:00.002+08:00

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=)

Told ya it's a fishy life...

2009-03-28T21:52:00.006+08:00

Exam is over!! BIG YESSSS!!!! Unfortunately tuesday i still have presentation on my hospital attachment and i've started nuts bout it. The file i brought to Kenneth's house is still in my bag.-_-"

Anyway, just some update bout me. Thurday i came to Kenneth's house, and it felt werid cuz the past few times i came i had to always bring a book with me and think when to slot it some time to study. Now?*ngiek ngiek ngiek*

Anyway, ystd i went to midvalley and finally collected my PROM DRESS!! I bought it bout a month ago and did alteration cuz the waist part was too loose. Tried ystd, still feel loose ler=( Anyway, tak pe la=)

Had lunch in Fong Lye at the Gardens, it was really good!! But satu set rm20-30 la..not exactly big portion either. We then watched The International starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts. The story line is interesting but I feel a bit confused on whether i like it or not. Oh well, watch it and tell me=) It's rated 6.9 in IMDB by the way.

Anyway, Kenneth and i had dinner with his family at Go Gung, a Korean restaurant @ Gardens. It's pretty expensive; rm230 for 7 of us after a 10% discount. And definitely not one of the best Korean restaurants i've ever tried. So, not recommended!=P

As a prove, u see u see, Kenneth also grumpy liao.=P

Ok la, actually this photo was taken by me while waiting for his parents. Satu lagi candid shot below. Presenting.......Kenneth's brother, Kevin. Sorry eh couldn't see his whole face.

Anyway, a very important announcement to make. I was awarded 'FISH OF THE YEAR' by Manhattan Fish Market. Went to The Curve today and they decided to give me this award.

Nice kan??

Tak percaya?? Ada sijil lagi tau... Tengok...

After receiving the award, we decided to go KLCC to support Earth hour. Unfortunately i forgot to take the photo after KLCC off all it's lights. But i took video, tapi lazy mau upload..hehe..

Saya Sehelai Tisu

2009-03-12T00:12:00.003+08:00

Saya sehelai tisu. Suatu hari apabila saya bangun, saya ditarik keluar oleh seorang lelaki dan ditiup banyak hingus ke atas saya. Kemudian saya dibuang ke dalam 'toilet bowl' dan di'flush'. Tamatlah riwayat saya sebagai sehelai tisu.

Diadaptasi dari 'Koleksi Kenneth-Cerita Masa Tidur'

Anyway, just trying to kill time cuz i feel lazy and don't feel sleepy yet.

P/s: This was the shortest ever bedtime story i heard from Kenneth.=P

Study break officially starts...

2009-03-08T22:53:00.004+08:00

I feel bad for abandoning my blog for such a long time.=( But well, before this i was too busy with going out with studies + Kenneth + classes + staying over at Kenneth's house + celebrating b'days + hospital attachment + continue staying at Kenneth's house.*ngiek ngiek ngiek*

Anyway, just an update bout me.. I am back in sitiawan but wil be going to subang this friday. Since this is a study break, i shall TRY to refrain from going out often and meeting Kenneth lesser.*cries*

I wish i can see him everyday!! I miss him..=( So much..=(

Hmm, this post is more of like bout him than my study break.=P Aiks, whatever la.

P/S: Lee Chong Wei just lost to Lin Dan. 19-21, 12-21.*sighs*
To Wen Yi: After exam we go buy ur prom dress k? Jangan risau=) It wil definitely be a nice one.=)

Royal Bank of Scotland

2009-02-05T17:18:00.003+08:00

Some people seemed interested after i talked bout Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in my previous post. Initially i wondered why. I thought it was merely cuz the word 'Scotland'.

It was much later that someone told me that the bank most of us will choose to deal with when we are over in Scotland will be RBS. It's the nearest from our hostel too.

I went to check RBS's website and was utterly shocked to find out this:
Branches in Malaysia

They have branches in Penang, KL, JB, Labuan and SITIAWAN. ONLY 5 branches and Sitiawan is one of it. I was like....HUH??!!!

Anyways, after knowing that we will be opening the account in RBS in Scotland, i'm planning to go to the branch in Sitiawan to ask bout charges for TT etc.

Below is the link to their website:
UK
Malaysia

Gong Xi Fa Chai!

2009-01-27T23:13:00.006+08:00

I feel dumb. I don't know what title to put for this post.-_-" And decided to just wish everyone.=D

Anyway, this post will be random.

My first day of CNY started in a really peculiar way. Well, at least for me. I did eye mask! For the first time of the year, and FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! Thanks to wen yi who found this online site, and i bought 5 pairs just to try it out. RM2 per pair. Mau try ka?

My eye mask. And yes, that is my eye in case u are not aware of it.

Well, i'm not sure if it worked. For a moment i felt that it worked. But then i thought probably it was just placebo. Oh well. I think i really need to do sth to get rid of my dark circles and eye bag. I DON'T WANT TO LOOK OLD!! Pleaaaaaaaaassseeee...can anyone help?

Next up, Scotch Whisky. It's been in my house for a reaaaaally long time. No one seem to want to drink it. I don't like the taste either. But FINALLY we are almost finishing it. ALMOST! Probably we will be able to finish it before i go to Scotland? Gambateh to me, dad and bro!!

I photoshop-ed this photo. I know it's not good. But well, i didn't put in much effort anyway..hehe... Notice Mr. Lim @ my dad at the back? Purposely mau ambik gambar ayahku yang tersayang.=P

Another random thing. Since i was at photoshop, i decided to photoshop one of the photos i took when i was in Paris. Apa lagi. Eiffel Tower la. Did two versions of it. Which one nicer ar? Wana put during my wedding..=D Atau both oso reject?=(

And finally, angpow from daddy and mummy! Daddy gave me this gold angpow, which the substantial amount i shall not reveal. Ngiek ngiek ngiek. Ok la, not beribu-ribu la. So don't rompak me wohkay.

Anyway, point is, the back of the angpow is printed Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). First time i got gold angpow from my dad, and first time using RBS envelope.

As from mummy, i got sunsilk angpow!

This led me to a brainy conclusion. It's a sign.......

1) I will successfully go to scotland.
2) I will have silky smooth hair throughout the year.

Wheeee!!

Welcome to Malaysia

2009-01-25T02:13:00.005+08:00

Went to giant with parents and bro. Was at the redemption counter to obtain a RM5 voucher (cuz our bill was over rm100). People were pushing away like nobody's business; obviously not queuing.

So i decided to start a queue and soon there were ppl queueing behind me. However, there were still a few who refused to queue and went straight to the front of the counter.

A dissatisfied guy queuing right behind me started scolding them.

Guy: Eh, pegi baris la! Buta ke tak nampak orang tengah baris?
*Ppl cutting queue ignored him*
Guy: Oi! Baris ah! Pekak ke?
*They continued ignoring*

Innocent me felt bad for him for being ignored. Though i felt he was being too harsh.

Once he finished saying that, i reached the front line and he IMMEDIATELY placed his receipt in front of me and asked the lady to process his first.

I was like...WTF!!! The empathy i felt for him went 'POOF' *gone into thin air* instantaneously. I mean..180 degree change?? Too much right?

Anyway. *rolls eyes* Whatever.

Happy CNY everyone!

2009-01-24T13:12:00.003+08:00

FINALLY i'm done with my all tests! And i'm home for CNY!!=D

I didn't go shopping at all since i went back IMU after christmas. So, my new year clothes...i buy after CNY la..-_-"

Anyway, here's wishing everyone a joyful CNY n hope everyone get lots of ang pau.=)

Dear blog

2009-01-17T16:03:00.002+08:00

Saudari blog,

Dukacita dimaklumkan bahawa saudari akan diketepikan selama satu minggu sempena ujian 'Ubat dan Penyakit II' dan 'Biofarmasi IV' yang akan datang.

Minggu lepas anda telah diketepikan atas sebab-sebab tertentu yang tidak dapat dielakkan.*ehem* huru-hara disebabkan BTN *ehem*

Harap maklum,
Tuan punya blog

BTN versus PP and DD

2009-01-08T20:48:00.002+08:00

Today i got an email from my coursemate saying that JPA requires us to go for the *brain-washing* BTN camp from 14-18 January.(Wed til sun)

To start of, how smart is that man...people tak payah pergi class ke? Kalau ada lab or turorial macam mana??

Anyway the worst part is on 15 January i have a Pharmacy Practice II class test, and Drugs and Disease II class test on 19 January which contributes 30% to finals. And Biopharmacy IV test on 23 Jan which carries 25%.

We have already asked IMU if we can postpone our tests, but Mr David Chong said a big 'NO!'

I've already planned to study DD only on next thurs to sunday after PP. Now all four days kena pergi BTN. How now???*cries* Sure fail that paper if i go that camp.

Anyway, the question now is to screw BTN camp, or to screw both tests.

But then again, if i screw both tests..then i fail both exams..then i wont have to go to BTN camp d right? Since i cannot fly then. Hmmmm, so basically..screw BTN.

Happy New Year!

2009-01-02T01:07:00.004+08:00

Couple of hours ago, me, dad n mum went to this new restaurant for dinner. We were initally attracted by the ramen, dad actually. So went in, got seated and then asked the waitress.

The waitress: Oh, the ramen is only available in the morning. But we have western food.

I was a bit taken aback cuz not into western today.

But then she continued: 'Like wa tan hor, char kuey teow and others'

HUH?? Wa tan hor and char kuey teow is western ar?*sweats*

Anyway another cute thing happened today.
I was at the bakery, was queuing up at the cashier when i saw this.

Mummy buying cake.
Baby girl (ard 2-3 years old): Mummy, is today my birthday?(in mandarin)
Mummy: No it's not.
Baby girl: Really? It's not?
Mummy: Yes dear, it's not.
Baby girl: *stared at mummy with the saddest look, eyes started to get teary, uwahhhh!! started crying*

She was soooooo cute!hehe.. Made my day..haha..

Happy new year everyone! Hope this year will be a great one=D

The last day of 2008

2008-12-31T15:12:00.009+08:00

Today is the last day of 2008, and...i am home! Hmmm, to think of it, next year this time, i will be in scotland already. Oh wait, mayb i'll be in germany..or some other country counting down..*giggles*

For the final blog of this year, i shall blog on the new things i learnt, new places i went, basically everything new that i never did/had in 2007.

1) I learnt how to swim! *like FINALLY right* But only breaststoke.=P

2) I learnt how to photoshop. Though still not good at it..but as malaysians always say 'Boleh-lah...'

3) I started my new hobby of running up the staircase of the condo i currently stay at.*hmm, but it's been at halt since the new sem..sighs*

4) I learnt how to knit. Knitted for kenneth, mummy and daddy.

5) I renewed my driving license ystd. Which expired in february!*wtf??*

6) I went to germany and paris. It was the best month of the year!

7) I went to Pangkor Laut Resort. And felt like a princess!!

8) My 2008 photo collection amounted to more than 12gb and next year will definitely be even more. Thank goodness i got a harddisk.

9) And well, as mentioned above, i got a new 320gb harddisk, an 8gb USB flash drive.(plus some other things la..)

10)Errrmmm......i grew taller? Cuz both poh yee and i claim that we are 160cm but i am taller than her. So either she isn't 160, or i am more than that!muahaha...hope she doesn't read this=P

Hmm, that's all i can think of for the moment..not planning to strain my brain too much on the last day of the year..hehe..

Another recent highlight is that i received two gifts ystd.=) Technically speaking i have not received one of it yet cuz it's still with Kelly. Yeap, so one is from Kenneth=) And another from my sis. They are both totally different things..but have one thing in common.

THEY ARE VERY THE EXPENSIVE ahhhhh!

I shall not reveal the price. But the one i got from Kenneth is a musical box with the song 'Edelweiss' playing..which coincidentally i just heard that song from an orchestra i went last week.=)
The second is a necklace + earrings set. The postage itself costed 18 dollars (approx. rm45) And the set was even more expensive.*i feel so bad*

Anyway, to end my final blog of this year, presenting.....my south park character for our convo mag.=D

Chin yeong said the character looks like me. But she didn't notice my 'new' adidas germany soccer jersey=(

Anyhow, me cute not?=P

It's gonna be bitchy...ooppsss...beachy i mean..

2008-12-24T21:13:00.005+08:00

For the very first time, im going to stay at Teluk Batik Resort. It's situated about 15 mins from my house, which is probably why i never bothered even having the thought of staying there.

But well, my aunt from s'pore decided to go stay there and has already booked the place for i duno how many nights.

So, tomoro we gonna check in at 2pm. I wonder how it would be like...i mean staying at a resort when my home is like 15 mins away? And 'play' at the beach with my parents, uncle and aunties...the only person near to my age is my cousin, who's ELEVEN!

Anyway, i googled some photos of the resort. Here they are:

It looks not bad huh? But to be honest i doubt it! Like how can teluk batik have such nice resorts right?? It's teluk batik for goodness sake!=P

Trip to sydney and NZ

2008-12-15T23:54:00.005+08:00

How i wish i could join this trip but no, it wasn't me who went for this trip, but my sis who's already in sydney, and also my parents. Heavy-heartedly, the day my parents left for sydney was the first day of my uni! How 'cool' was that right.-_-"

Anyway, just felt like posting some of the beberapa gb punya photos here.=) They spent about a week in NZ and more than a week in sydney.

Pelican watching somewhere in sydney=P They look bit fake right?

Prove that they aren't fake. And sungguh the ganas.

Family meeting with my relatives..

Not going to post more bout sydney, cuz i find some of the NZ photos really breath-taking! I mean, if only we could live in a city yet preserve the surroundings like those in NZ. I would kill for that.=P

First up, Moeraki Boulders on Ortago. Notice the intriguing rock formations. All spherical.

The above two photos were taken in the car. The first being a waterfall right beside the road (is that even possible??), and the latter being the view of the drivers and passengers. Really eye-soothing eh.

Fox Glacier in Westland National Park.

Apparently, this was one of the filming sites for the phenomenal Lord of The Rings.

Some other panoramic views of NZ.

Reflection. Yes, it was that clear.

One of the four aunties from France who went on the trip as well. My dad said they were all in their seventies, reaching 80. Hip and happening, and travelling all over the world. They certainly do not look their age!

Mummy and sis. She's wearing the scarf i bought for her from germany=D The scarf sudah travel sangat jauh ye.

And finally, a pic of daddy, mummy and jie jie.=)

Thanks for the souvenirs and the exceptionally lot of food.=D

Chin ho tia

2008-12-08T23:53:00.007+08:00

My sis, bro-in-law and i were thinking bout my sis's baby's name. My sis is in her 28th week by the way.=) However, we didn't come up with any names that the baby responded to, i.e. she didn't poke my sis's tummy. She does u know!

After coming back to vista, i told chin yeong what i did earlier. And since chin yeong and i had nothing to do, we decided to help wen yi and shen yang think of their future children's name. His surname is 'chin' btw.. Since 'chin' means 'really' in hokkien, we had fun creating names..

WARNING: Strictly for those who understand hokkien only.

We came up with this list:

If she's a baby girl,

Chin jia sui
Chin jia san
Chin ho mia
Chin ho kua
Chin gao zhi
Chin gao sueh
Chin gao xi
Chin hao xi
Chin zuey wei
Chin ai sui

For baby boy,

Chin kut lat
Chin boh song
Chin jia song
Chin jia ho
Chin jia eng
Chin jia guai
Chin wu lat
Chin wu eng
Chin wu lui
Chin gao pia

Fuh yo! Try reading it in the fastest pace possible and u'll have fun too! And please do wen yi a favour by telling her the name you will vote for.=)

Devi's b'day celebration @ Spaghetti Grill

2008-12-06T11:48:00.007+08:00

On tuesday, a bunch of us went to midvalley to celebrate devi's birthday. The venue changed from PJ to chili's in midvalley and when we reached, the waitress told us that they were unable to arrange table for 18. And thus, recommended us to Spaghetti Grill aka Chili's sister. Thinking it would be good as well, we agreed.

It's located in the same stretch as Chili's.

Much to our disappointment, the food there was...HORRIBLE!!! Shall explain based on pictures.=)

Poh yee's soup and salad. The soup is very thick. In fact, TOOOOO thick. Cant imagine? Well, imagine taking a scoop of it, and pouring it on a flat surface. It will not flow slowly down like usual thick soup, but it wil go 'piak'..
Rating:3/10

We ordered hawaiian pizza and garlic sth pizza (forgot the name d). They were the only better ones that we had. It was nothing special (u can get similar tasting pizza in many restaurants), but i guess the fact that the other food was so sucky that we really appreciate these pizzas!
Rating:7/10

Wen yi's grilled chicken pasta. For one, the grilled chicked is dry, and doesn't taste much. The spaghetti has very limited sauce, hence very dry as well.
Rating:5/10

Raj's fish and chips. The chips suungguh the little, and doesn't taste good. The fish is still all right but i hated the sauce. It's not the usual tartar sauce. Dunno what they added in.
Rating:5/10

Chin yeong and i shared lasagna and stuffed mushroom. Considering it was rm23.95, we sort of expected a TGIF size lasagna. But...it was pathetically small. I think the angle i took made it look bigger. Do not be deceived! Now, the taste. It was the worst lasagna i've ever tried. Seriously. I am a fan of lasagna and this was a huge let down. Even the lasagna i had in germany (the ones we bought from rewe supermarket and then bake it in an oven) taste better.
And Kenneth, you rmbr once we overbaked the lasagna? It tasted kinda yucky rmbr? This is worse. Cuz at least the one we overbaked had nice cheese on top.
So my rating:1/10 (i gave up eating halfway)

This stuffed mushroom cost rm17.95..and it taste bad. The mushroom is of those chinese mushroom, but they made it soft and not chewy. The menu stated 'stuffed with meat' But i could hardly taste any meat. Just some macam flavoured oat kinda feeling.
Rating:1/10

Giri's lamb shank. I didn't try it so no comment.

And apparently, the ravioli that chew ning ordered was also bad. I wonder how was the food that the rest ordered.

Anyway, shall end my blog with a group photo.*all smiles*

Joyoga @ 50% off

2008-11-29T00:02:00.005+08:00

Obviously attracted by this offer, me and 15 other friends decided to go to jogoya for lunch on wednesday. The offer is from 13 oct to 19 December, weekdays except for friday night, and ONLY FOR LADIES!!=D

Anyway, not going to promote much bout the food there cuz...well, i find the food ok ok nia. The fact that i can only order unagi once is definitely a minus point. At least for me. But i guess it's still worth it since it's 50% off now.=P

Not going to elaborate much. Here's come pics.=)

Group photo in the VIP room..hehe..

Abalone slices. Well, i just adore making things look nice. Ain't it more appetizing this way??

You zhuan's 'collection'

Oyster. Not mine. Not a fan, probably never will be.

Dunno what it is called. Not mine either.

Fish that chin yeong took. We hardly had a bit and the waitress took it away already.-_-"

Desserts! I like the deco. Taste was all right.=)

Unagi! My fav as always.

And finally, mine mine mine!!muahahaha... (except the oyster)

Wen yi's birthday @ bbq

2008-11-28T22:59:00.006+08:00

On tues, we had a surprise birthday celebration for wen yi aka mummy^^
Surprise cuz we did it a week earlier, hence it was unexpected according to her.

Anyway, i feel lazy to type now..hehehe... So to know more bout what happened during the celebration, visit wen yi's blog.=D

Just some pics we took that night.

The birthday girl and boy plus there of us.

All that came minus some that had to leave earlier.

There were many other food prepared by the rest but i didn't manage to take photos of all. Sorry ya!

And finally, marinated chicken wings prepared by me and my housemates.=)

It was great fun, and I am proud of me n my housemates for finally making this bbq thingie a reality!! We started the idea since sem 2 i think. Beginning of every sem, we would 'dengan penuh semangat' say will have a bbq. But...ya, finally it's done.=D

Finally, happy birthday mummy~~ Hope you like the surprises and quizes we had for u.=)

Wai Jane's 21st birthday party=D

2008-11-23T13:44:00.005+08:00

Yeaps, we all went to her birthday party at her house at tropicana last night. I think there were ard a hundred ppl invited inclusive of imu people. Anyways, kind mafia@yik siang came to fetch us from vista and 11 of us fit into the alphard. Amazing? You will be even more amazed to know that on the way back to vista, there were 13 of us in the car..=P

Anyway, right after entering the car, we already started cam-whoring. But we just took ONE photo ok.. Which is this-->

Wen yi trying to use poh yee's hair as moustache. Hmm, tapi macam failed.

Once we reached tropicana, we were already all 'ooo-ahhh'ing admiring the houses there, not mentioning the cars there. There's one house i find especially cute. It looks like sth u can eat, n it is so huge it couldn't fit in one shot.(taken from inside the car)

Part of the 'cake' house

Another part.

Once we reached wai jane's house, we started exploring her house.

Wai Jane's house. Both buildings by the way.

Upon entering:
Living room-checked.
Mini bar-checked.
Backyard-checked.
Karaoke section-checked.
The huge rooms and her bedroom-checked.
The entertainment section with snooker table-checked.

Not going to explain much, pretty tired. Pictures please.

Some of the girls

Some of us

We did a great job at 'entertaining' ourselves cuz the birthday girl was so obviously busy with phone calls and people coming at various times.

Among the games played

Some karaoke-ing

Some playing cards

Some chattering at the mini bar.

Some playing cards in the backyard.

Ooo, and a photo of me which i find pretty interesting. I actually find myself looking as if i have split personality in the photo.=P

Me and another side of me.

N yea, wai jane has a superbly soft and cute poodle!! I didn't dare to hold it and take a photo so decided to post wen yi with the poodle instead..hehe..

And finally, my masterpiece of the day. You zhuan posing as a drunk girl in my photo shoot. Thanks you zhuan!! U did a great job and i got everyone into believing that u were actually drunk!

P/s: Here's to clarify that she was conscious at the time of this photo taken. But i'm not sure bout the situation thereafter.=D

Malaysian universities losing out..yet again..

2008-11-16T14:26:00.002+08:00

Read from malaysiakini bout ranking of universities. N it was said that malaysian universities are losing out to Thailand, Indosnesia and Philippines. (and singapore as always)

National University of Singapore is placed at No. 30 and Nanyang Technological University at No. 77.

Thailand (Chulalongkorn University No. 166), Indonesia (University of Indonesia No. 287) and the Philippines (Ateneo de Manila University No. 254 and University of the Philippines No. 276).

While 'proudly' presenting, Malaysia:-

UM-230
UKM-250
USM-313
UPM-320
UTM-356

For complete ranking of universities in the world, click here.

Anyway, out of curiousity, i went searching for the ranking of University of Strathclyde. Skim through 1-100, not there. Went through 101-200, not there either. 201-300...ahh...finally found it. Their current ranking is at 270, and No. 37 in the UK. Hmmm.....

He is sooooooooooo testing my patience!

2008-11-08T22:36:00.012+08:00

To understand my FRUSTRATION, solid examples are probably the most direct way.
These are not the entire questions, but a SMALL part of the whole part of question that he needs to answer.

Q1) 9-3y=2x, If x=0, Find y.
Him: 2 times 0 is 2 ar?-_-"

Q2) 36/4=?
Him: *thinking hard*

Q3) 3-(-3)=?
Him: 0

Q4) 18=27A
Him: *asking me back* Actually how to know which one must divide which one ar? Why sometimes is 18 divide 27, sometimes 27 divide 18?

Q5) -1/1=?
Him: *thinking, then use calculator*

Q6) 0-x=?
Him: Err....stil can simplify meh?

Q7)What is the mid point of 2.5-3.0?
Him: *writes out*
2.5 3.0
2.6 2.9
2.7 2.8
Err, then cannot d wor.

Me: What is arc?
Him: Errr...

Me: What is circle?
Him: Errr...

Hypothenus? Square root? Circumference? Sin, cos, tan? and a whole lot more...
Him: Dunno

Me: What is the meaning of 'x is proportional to cube of y?'
Him: Errr....
Me: What is proportional and what is the meaning of cube?
Him: Preo..po...tat one i duno.. Cube is...*draws out a shape cube*

And the one i would vote 'ANSWER OF THE DAY'
Q: Where is ur form 4 maths book?
A: Don' have wor.
Q: Do u know u wil b tested for form 4 maths also?
A: Is it?*dengan penuh chill*

Sometimes i find it funny but sometimes i find it really annoying.

N the worst part is i have to explain the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!

I explained to him FOUR TIMES in four consecutive days that when they ask for equation, means they want it in the form 'y=mx+c'. Also explained what is y, m, x and c.
Yet today when the question ask for an equation, he ask me how to do. And when i asked him what is equation. He said 'means just find y ar?'
ARGHHHH!!!

Why is there such a human being in this world?? Previously, i didn't particularly liked teaching a std 2 student maths cuz i didn't know how to explain why is 3x9=27 things like that. But i didn't feel frustrated at all when she didn't understand cuz she was in std 2.

But now?? FORM 5!! SPM MATHS IN 3 DAYS!!

GULPS

MY E-MAIL TO ANDREW:

Hey i didn't get the mail from imu. N i cant seem to log in the netmail with the password that i use to log in to the netstorage.
Btw, they would have called me by now if i fail right?

HIS REPLY:

hi renly! I got the mail from aad, however, sum people did not and it seems that sum1(whom i shall not name) did not get the call even tho he/she failed. so its best if you could gif IMU a call 2mr and check it up, tho i doubt u'll haf to be worried much =)

Conclusion: CANNOT SIMPLY ASSUME.*cries*

I ASSUME I passed

2008-11-05T20:36:00.003+08:00

Today is the supposed D-day for all my coursemates. Results were out at 4pm, but yea, i forgot bout it, AGAIN. Only to remember around 5sth when i went online and frens's pm were mostly 'i passed!'

I hastily checked my e-mail. NOTHING.

Then i went to ictservices website, could log in the netstorage that we use to download lecture slides, but couldn't enter netmail to check results although i used the same password. WHY??

I tried many many many times, using current n other passwords i thought i might have forgotten, but to no avail.

I then tried the imu website and tried to log in like a trillion times under 'Exam Results'. All i got was
'INVALID LOGIN DETECTED'

Some frens suggested clicking the 'forgot password' button. Did so. Had to key in my email. Tried all four e-mails that i have.
'INVALID REQUEST FOR PASSWORD DETECTED'

Chin yeong told me the email needed is some email they gave us in sem 1.
wtf!! I don't rmbr liao la!
I asked many ppl n many ppl tried helping me...but still...NOTHING..
So yea, i finally gave up, and decided to go for a walk with my parents.

Conclusion: I ASSUME THAT I PASSED cuz imu din call me for resit.

My sitiawan nightmare begins..AGAIN!!

2008-11-04T17:33:00.004+08:00

Two years ago, my neighbour asked me to her son maths tuition for pmr. I agreed. N it was the worst tuition experience i ever had. This guy drove me nuts with his maths calculation. I had a real tough time teaching him. But looking back, i already had...seven tuition students, ranging from STD 1 to FORM 6!*proud-ness*

Anyhow, ystd when he and his dad came over, my immediate response seeing them at the gate was...'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'

His dad was sooooo pushy and assertive i had a tough time trying to say no.

Worse, he said, 'Oh, u give him tuition every day. Morning, noon and night. Many many hours each time. His spm start next week, he needs intensive tuition, cover the whole syllabus for him.'

I was like......it's my hols mister. I need time for myself for goodness sake! And you think i can do magic or sth? (He failed his maths both this n last year, AND previous years, except the actual pmr exam)

But well, i didn't want to be rude, and my dad was beside me..so i just FORCEFULLY smiled and said that i have assignments to do, the max i can do is give him tuition once daily.

I CANT STAND THIS GUY!!!

'Popiah' in the making

2008-10-31T22:59:00.003+08:00

This noon me n mum made popiah to bring to subang for my sis n bro.. This is the first time i was actually involved from the beginning til the very end of the process. Errr, well, usually i'll disappear half way and appear later on.=P

I shall blog on the popiah-making process as it is highly probable that i will forget the ingredients later on. Pai seh to keep asking mum.=P

Firstly, pics of all the ingredients.=)

Clockwise from top-left: Minced meat + corn flour, eggs, tau kua, bean sprout

Clockwise from top-left: Shredded sengkuang + carrot, diced garlic, smashed dried prawns using MORTAR AND PESTLE =D, fried egg cut into slices

Left: Vege which i don't rmbr the name-_-" Right: Popiah kulit

The process is basically after frying the garlic and dried prawns, throw everything in one by one and add oyster sauce, salt and everything nice..ehehehe..

When done, wrap the ingredients using the popiah skin and vege, n rmbr to add some kampung koh chilli sauce! ESSENTIAL!!

And tadaaaa! Completed popiah!^^

Obviously there are more la..but these three are for ilustration purposes, n i wrapped them! It's edible by the way!!

Drugs and Disease 'haunting' me

2008-10-30T13:08:00.003+08:00

For the past 'less than two weeks' hols, i've dreamt of DD exam THREE times! Twice was about the day before the DD exam, and ystd was about during the exam itself.

NONE of the drugs in the exam paper was anywhere to be found in our module, and the exam paper was simply ridiculous! The questions were not arranged in order, and worse, some numbers had two questions! Like Q10 asking bout tis tis tis, then the next question was also Q10..-_-" Which to answer for objective lah?

I didn't have much stress throughout the study break and exam, it went pretty smoothly.*thankfully* And i didn't have a single bad dream during that one month.

SO WHY NOW??!!*sweats*

So much of being 'private'

2008-10-26T22:46:00.002+08:00

I was searching for taiwan dramas to watch and chin yeong suggested me a few.. Im currently 'working' on Smiling Pasta starring Nicholas Teo and Cyndi Wang, and the next would probably be Corner with Love staring Luo Zhi Xiang and Barbie Xu..

Anyway, the one chin yeong suggested me was Brown Sugar Macchiato starring bang bang tang and hei she hui mei mei. I heard of these two groups before but don't remember how they look like. Curious and nothing-to-do me started google-ing their names, n the result i got was...'interesting'.

It's about one of the members of hei she hui mei mei, but she has now left the group. Anyway, from this link i found another link provided in the article which led me to some **** photos of her.(23 photos to be exact)

Apparently she stored her photos online in a private password-protected album but someone hacked into her account and leaked the photos. Actually the news was already a year old, but yea, im not so into the' taiwanese gossip thingie'. I admit i'm slow k...

It kinda makes me wonder what some of my frens put in their private albums, you know, the friendster private album especially. What if the 'maybe private' photos get leaked out..hmmm.....

I should not fool around with my blog!

2008-10-24T00:37:00.002+08:00

I was simply clicking my blog layout, n i 'ter'deleted some stuffs, including my friends' list. I've restored some of them but felt my friends' list got shorter..*sobs*
If u know ur name was there, n it isn't now, please tell me!! Or to my friends that I don't have ur blog add, do let me know^^

~Holiday mood~

2008-10-23T23:48:00.006+08:00

I finally got a photo of ser yiing's celebration at Republic (grabbed from lingwei's facebook). Here's one^^ But well, only got girls..with guys punya i dont have..hehe..

Anyway, I've been a good girl at home, (i think)..=P Ystd i helped mum mark three sets of test papers, n gosh....sudah standard 4 still tak tau draw straight line ke?? Geram betul!!! There were many questions where they had to match questions n answers contained in two boxes. N there they were, simply drawing lines n i had a tough time straining my eyes to follow where the lines go.-_-" But well, i was glad i was the one marking the papers..=) Else it would be my mum who has to strain her eyes..

Another good thing i did today, was helping my family save money..haha..ya right..
Senheng today had it's second shop grand opening in sitiawan, n there were 500 items to be sold at rm10 (10 different types, 50 units each).
Initially my mum n I thought we could buy one item from each type, which was what told to us. Later on, they told us, we could only buy 3 items, so my mum n I decided we would buy the pensonic stand fan, panasonic shaver and a slow cooker. Much later, we were told we could buy ONE ITEM ONLY. What a system..... Anyway, we finally got the fan. Ori price rm65=)

My holiday plan commenced with watching moonlight resonance. I finished 40 episodes in less than three days. Proud of myself!=P But cant deny it was really good=D

My second plan for holidays was to start knitting using the yarn i bought in germany, but after several failed trials, i came to the conclusion that i needed a thicker knitting stick. So this 'project' of mine will be temporarily put on halt. So what should i do know? I shall go sleep first n start thinking of my third plan=)

Good night n sweet dreams!*huggies*

Update of me for the past one month

2008-10-18T22:12:00.005+08:00

The last time i blogged was a few weeks back, i don't remember when. But yea, just a summary of what i did the past month..

1st week of study break= eat, study, sleep, go out with kenneth, cry that he went back to germany, continue eating, studying and sleeping.

2nd week= eat study sleep

3rd week= eat study sleep + starting to feel my brain is empty

4th week @ exam week= exam, eat study sleep + insomnia

Anyway, exam was over on thurs, which means from 11.30am onwards, i was FREE!! woohoo!! For sure, we went out la rite.. But b4 we went to midvalley, poh yee, wen yi and me watched mirrors in the room, cuz chin yeong had things to do in src, AS USUAL.. I don't plan to put the poster of 'mirrors' here cuz i find it scary..hehe.. But yup, we indeed enjoyed it.=)

In midvalley, we watched another two movies, max payne and mamma mia..=)

Yea, i know, mamma mia been screening for some time already but i never had the time to watch it k!! Plus poh yee has a 'buy 1 free 1' gsc card, so two tickets ONLY RM10!! In case there are people who thinks 'max payne' is 'max pain' @ 'maximum pain' @ 'porn', i dunno..mayb like poh yee ke..=P The moive is adapted from the video game lah!

The marathon continued after we reach the room, but this time not movie..but two episodes of 'miss no good', we r currently in episode 6, n itat's the latest showing in taiwan now i think, not too sure bout it..it's very funny especially yang chen lin..but then again, i don think guys will like..hehe.. For a preview of how she looks like in the drama, have a look at the photo below.. It's already a photo of a prettier her..=D

Friday....me n my housemates, plus chun kang, brendan, alvin and jason went to low yat, wanted to sing k so we went to redbox.=) Had a wonderful time there, but i din bring camera so photos aren't with me..this one is the nicest i could grab from brendan's facebook d.. I don't mean me looking nicer in this photo, but the rest of his photos are just blur!!

After karaoke-ing, we went to look around in low yat cuz me, cy n wen yi wanted to get harddisk.. All three of us got the same thing, 320gb for rm269 each..=) We hang out til bout after dinner, went back, rested a while n prepared for the next event, ser yiing's b'day celebration in Republic in Sunway pyramid! I guess there were bout 30sth of us there, n the whole place inside were like..just us..-_-" But the open area where people just sit n drink, had more people..

Devi fetched us back, n tat very morning, which is today..i slept at 8am! Watched moonlight resonance while waiting for it to be 6am to call kenneth to wish him birthday.=D I celebrated with him twice, n haven't been celebrating with him since he went germany, making it four birthdays already since we got together..suddenly it feels long..=P But hope to have many many more birthday celebration with him in the future!=)

Study break + emo-ness

2008-09-27T00:48:00.006+08:00

Kenneth is back in london, n will b back in germany on monday. He went back yesterday by midnight flight but i didn't send him off. I believed that was the best thing to do for both me n him.

I have sent him off twice at the airport n he has sent me off once (the time i came back from germany), n everytime it was just so difficult for me..so hard that i decided not to send him off this time, for my own good as well as his. Cuz i know me looking sad at the airport will make things hard for him.. Also, considering it is my study break now, i shouldn get too immersed in this negative emotions..

But well, although i didn't send him off, doesn't mean i didn't cry! I had so much tears flowing down my cheek the past two days that he was actually amazed that my tears never go dry..-_-"

Today is the first day since he went back to germany, n i've been feeling really miserable..=( I went to sleep in the afternoon, but cried before that, got tired n fell alseep.=P

Anyway i was glad, cuz we still get to chat online! Me just finished chatting online with him! I think we chatted online more than two hours today..weehehehe... But cuz my bro was in the living room, we decided to just on the webcam n type..though i really wanted to hear his voice..

After chatting online, he called, using his maxis line..i didn't pick up the first time cuz i thought he called by mistake, n it would b expensive if i answer.. But he called the second time, n i picked up. I got to hear his voice! N i was truly happy! But considering how much it costs, we only had a few minutes conversation.. Still, im happy, contented and indeed touched..

Im going to sleep now, hope i will dream of him tonight and every night.=) Lao kung i miss u!! Jiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannng duo!=D

My Birthday!!

2008-09-15T17:05:00.006+08:00

Well, many many things happened the entire week last week, n all were either fantastic, superb, touching or simply romantic!

Kenneth did many things for me, but i shall not elaborate here. But i would say that we had a really awesome time together and im really thankful for all he did for me.^^ N i have told many times the stories to different people who asked.=D

As for celebration with my frens in imu, it was really fun as well! It started after our female volleyball finals on thurdays. As me n my housemates were walking back to vista, right at the guardhouse, i saw 4 guys walking towards me, n then i saw gen yuan bringing 24 J Co donuts lighted with candles of my age, 22, sadly..*old*

Anyway, then came many other people. We were at the guardhouse blocking traffic for goodness sake!hehe..but it was really quite a scene. Later on we went back to our house, n there began my 'treasure hunt'

Chin yeong gave me a envelope written:
So...Where's your gift?? Everything comes in pairs..plus there are many brands to many pairs that you have! Clue: Leather, covered, sports....Lavender.... (clearly, it was poh yee's writing..hehe..)

I guessed the shoe rack, so i started hunting..n we five girls, really have many shoes n shoe boxes!!arghh... Anyway, i opened a shoe box stacked in the pileS of shoe boxes, n found a pentel liquid paper (which i've been trying to find for ages!! takde kat carrefour n jusco n imu bookstore), a pen which i wanted to buy, and a mouse (i wanted to buy oso cuz my mouse cacat d).

There i found my next clue written:
CONGRATS. You have solved the first part of the treasure hunt. Pls proceed to the kitchen to claim your second price.

I went to the kitchen, n had no idea where to start searching..

But after some time, i found them! In the small fridge (no longer in use) that we have..

Next clue: Can you spot a difference in your room?

I went in the room, realised it was difficult to spot any difference..yea, i have a lot of things..

Me thinking where my presents are..

But THANKFULLY, jeannette came in, saw my earrings on the wall, n then said, 'hey, this earring is so cute!' My housemates looked at her with a 'weird' look, n so i looked at that earring. N i spotted the difference!! I had three extra earrings!hehe..

But well, that wasn't all, cuz they said there were three more things..after some effort, i finally spotted a simple facial cleanser (mine is already finishing), n two eye shadows.

N there was another clue..tiring rite my birthday?? From that clue, i guessed the living room, n guessed the present was somewhere at my place. I found them quite fast, n there were a gold bikini set and a white dress.(both which i wanted to buy earlier but the 'guai' me didn't buy..ya right..=D)

My gold bikini..=P

My white dress..=D

My 'baby' mouse and kinder joy. Other food stuffs include pringles, mamee, rocky, nips etc..hehe..

One of my three cute pairs of earrings..^^

Some of the guys went back before we took a group photo..*sobs*

By the way, i went to malacca and muar on a food trip with my housemates and kenneth. We met up with foo yee and kirksman in malacca, and vee lynn, hui shan, hui ming and esmond in muar.=)

It was a great catch-up and food hunting session, but im tired to type d..so read the link below if u wana know!=P
wen yi

Presents presents n more presents!!=D

2008-09-03T00:52:00.013+08:00

As probably many of my batchmates already know, kenneth is back in malaysia and i went out with him today. He still looks the same except that his back is peeling due to the sun-tanning during europe tour.

Upon entering the car, yeap we hugged. N then he started giving me the things he bought for me during his tour with his siblings. Then, we went to midvalley and of course, pak tor there lah...what else..

Anyway, on our way back to vista, i showed him the wrong direction and we ended up almost reaching putrajaya.*sweats* I think it took us around one an a half hours to reach vista, which should have actually been 15-20 mins..so, poor thing, cuz my mistake he was late for dinner with his family.*guilty look*

I got back, n the first thing i did was...take pictures!! Here's one photo of the things he bought me.

Taking a closer look, these two are actually marks and spencer's mini bites, i dunno how to describe it. But well, i think the picture is pretty clear.

Next up, Harrod's choc. It is apparently a famous chocolate brand, some designer chocolate thingie, (which prolly explains the meticulous details of every choc) which i don't exactly know..hehe..

This! Is a lip gloss from Victoria Secret. I wonder why he bought it for me, cuz i seldom make up. But well, it looks nice n smells nice too!

N finally, Burberry Brit.perfume! It smells sweet. He knows i like sweet ones eh?hehe.. Oh ya, he also got me postcards from all the cities he visited.=) Anyway, my housemates now headache already. Cuz chin yeong told me initially they planned to buy perfume for me for my birthday. So now.....hehe...you guys just got to think harder!! Gambateh!! I love u all!!hehe..

From London to Malaysia

2008-08-29T22:19:00.003+08:00

Stuttgart-->Munich-->Krakow-->Brasov-->Bucharest-->Athens-->Santorini-->
London-->Barcelona-->Valencia-->Barcelona-->London-->Malaysia!!

That's Kenneth's trip plans..and he's in Barcelona now. Yups, that's right, which means he will be heading to London tomoro, then fly back to Malaysia!!*jumping all around*

I am really really thrilled!! Hmm...to my batchmates, i know you guys didn't see me a lot of times in lectures during sem 2 (i mean well, afterall, statistics class doesn't sound very appealing rite?), but i promise that i will go to MOST of the lectures this sem when he is back! Good girl eh?=P

Gotta go now, parents are here for merdeka celebration! Am really happy cuz they are here, plus i don't have to ber'jam-ing' with other cars.=)

Love from afar

2008-08-21T22:29:00.003+08:00

I wanted to blog about this since last thursday but didn't have the time to do so, cuz was busy with my CVS interpretation exam n pharmacy practice dispensing test.-_-"
Anyway, both are over now, but i have been out the past two days, to one utama n midvalley..hehe.. When i got home, was already dead tired. Not mentioning the late night movies with my housemates in the room.=D

Anyway, back to what this blog is all about..i got flowers last thursday!! Actually the exciting part wasn't the receiving flowers part. But it was the amount of SHOCK i was in when i saw the flowers.

It all started with just a normal brand new day, n we went to class like usual. It was break between lectures n i was chatting with sin ye n xin yi. Then out of a sudden, cheh sia asked me to not turn behind, n look at him. I felt really weird that time, thinking that he likes me..wahahaha...just joking.=P

Anyway, when he finally said i could turn, i saw a bouquet of flowers right in front of my eyes, n everyone was looking at me n devi had the video camera recording the scene. For a moment i actually thought, 'Is it my birthday today?' N when i realised it wasn't, i thought, 'is it for poh yee?' cuz she was standing beside me.

But well, it was for me! N chin yeong told me it was from Kenneth, n then she gave me an envelope n i saw it was from germany. I was really really REAAALLY SURPRISED. I was speechless. Cuz actually he is in a europe trip with his siblings, for three weeks plus. So i cant contact him but through mails, whereby he don't get to online often anyway except if the hotel has internet service. So how on earth will i ever think that he will do something like this?hehe..

Anyway, chin yeong told me that he wanted to give me the flowers n card cuz he knows that i will be sad cuz i wont get to talk to him for this one month. N he actually wanted to give it to me on our 3 years 3 months 3 days anniversary. But my adamant housemates say cannot cuz that time he wasn't st his europe trip yet. Hence, they decided to do it on my 3 years 3 months 13 days anniversary.

All i can say is that it was really really sweet of him for doing that. Thank you lao kung! This blog is specially for u! I love the flowers a lot, n i know u purposely bought a postcard with penguins at the front. I know u feel the penguin is me..=P N i really like it also! N all that u wrote.=)

People in class were asking me what was the flowers n card for, n i really didn't know what to say. Cuz it wasn't my birthday or sth..hehe..

Anyway, i wana thank the FOUR C's. Chin yeong, cheh sia, chun kang n choon hau. Chin yeong for taking the trouble to go buy the flowers. Also to cheh sia who fetched chin yeong, n to the other two who tagged along in the process.=) I really appreciate it n i love you guys! Chin yeong you are the best!! Muacks muacks!! Oh oh, Kenneth of course u r the best too!hehe..

Here are some pictures i took^^

My flowers^^

Me posing with the flowers..

My penguin postcard..cute eh? Love it!!

for my bro

2008-08-09T20:14:00.003+08:00

I know i haven't been updating my blog for some time..mayb cuz im lazy, or mayb cuz kenneth is now on his mega holiday trip n im not able to contact him, so takde mood recently.=P

Anyway, this blog is to highlight how touched i am by my bro.*blush*
Too much of late nights + insufficient water + durian + rambutan--> i officially don't feel well!
FEVER plus TERRIBLE FLU.*sobs*

Back to my bro, i asked him whether he has 'liang cha' in the house. He said no n asked me why, if i was sick. I said, 'Oh, nvm la..'

The next thing i know, he got changed and drove out. Out of curiousity, i asked his gf where he went. N she told me my bro went to buy 'liang cha' for me. I was quite shocked and at the same time touched.=) Shocked cuz there are no shops anywhere near here, n touched cuz he didn't mind going all the way out to get me the liang cha.

I realised that i haven't been so close with my bro anymore since i finished my spm. Not that we aren't close anymore, but well, i act cute a lot n he used to act cute together with me! N even up to form 5, we would do many stupid n fun things together.

At times i wished i could turn back time, yet usually i don't. Cuz life has to go on no matter what. I will reminisce those moments back when i was younger with a delighted heart cuz it happened.

People grow up, and move on. My bro has a gf, n i have a bf..mayb that's y our attention for each other has diminshed to some extent? I wonder.
No matter what, i am really touched by his certain acts..e.g., making sure im not alone in vista during the weekends, buying me presents on my birthdays, etc..=D

Thank you ko ko!

Pak Lah's Popularity Hits New Low....lol

2008-08-01T23:08:00.004+08:00

I haven been following tv news for a very long time cuz i feel they reports are rubb**h. Too politically influenced, n it's everything but the truth.

Hence, when i knew my sis subscribed to malaysiakini, i was elated! So, using her password i could read news on the website also.=)

N today, i so happened to watch tv news, n again, i had the same feeling..
Reading news online is sooo much more interesting! Here are some sites worth visiting..
malaysiakini
susanloone
malaysiainsider
malaysiatoday

Malaysiakini requires subscription to view the whole article so i would suggest reading the other few which are FREE!! N personally, i really like susanloone's blog.^^

Anyway, sth interesting. According to malaysiakini, Abdullah's popularity has plunged to a new low of 42% in july 2008 from 91% in 2004.
Also, 37% of the population surveryed are somewhat dissatisfied and 17% very dissatisfied. Only 7% are very satisfied with him. Other responses being don't know, no response etc..

Hmm, so based on this trend, does it mean by 2012 nobody knows who abdullah is?*smirk*

Anyway, enough bout him, go read them for urself!! really really interesting..=) Well, on a side note, i mentioned i was going to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall yesterday. But we didn't in the end. Instead we watched Oxford Murders, starring John Hurt and Elijah Wood.

The beginning was rather slow but as it progressed it got ok. But i think cuz we were all dead tired after days of 'tidak cukup tidur', devi went to sleep without finishing the movie, poh yee was half asleep throughout the movie. Only wen yi n i was awake enough to continue watching. But towards the end i felt agitated a lil cuz they stil didn't want to reveal the killer/twist after a long time!

I feel i like the movie (or more of im trying to convince myself i like the movie), cuz at least it kept me awake throughout considering my eyes were already very dry n i was sleepy.

Movie update..AGAIN..=P

2008-07-31T20:54:00.004+08:00

I know this is so wrong, but yea..i watched another two movies going to be screened in malaysia soon, n one already screening.. They are..

Sex and the city was a lot better than i expected.=) Well, probably because i expected it to be NOT nice..hehe..
The movie was 2 hours n 17 minutes and honestly speaking there wasn a time which i felt bored. N i actually kinda like it. N definitely worth it to watch a rm7 movie in gsc.*winks*
But thanks to wen yi who downloaded the dvdrip, we watched it at home.=)

Next up, Meet Dave! AS the poster says: Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy in Meet Dave, which is very true. He was INSIDE himself, being a very small little being, n his body was sort of like his 'spaceship'.
I liked it, but not as much as You Don't Mess with the Zohans. Hmm, then again, i think i probably wont wana watch it in the cinema. A 'downloadable' movie.=P

The Ruins will be out in malaysia soon. N for those of u intending to watch it, or even have the SLIGHTEST thought of watching it. DON'T!!! Typical story line, nothing much exciting, would be a waste of money to watch it in the cinema. Yes, it is tat bad.

N finally, today! I watched the MUMMY. I watched it in the cinema ok.*good girl* Hehe.
Hmm, it was quite short, 1 hour 40 minutes. Hmm, not really exciting. But well, i guess it's worth paying the money to watch brendan fraser, jet li and michelle yeoh. Plus some pretty goog action scenes.
Not going to elaborate more. Watch it for yourself! Going to swim n then watch another movie. Forgetting Sarah Marshall!hehe..

Update on movies^^

2008-07-27T20:47:00.004+08:00

Just a short update on movies i watched (not in cinema) last week. They are--->

Both movies will be out in malaysia soon.=) The rating for 'you don't mess with the zohan' is only 5.6 in imdb. But i really enjoyed it! Adam sandler is sooo funny, plus kinda good looking..ehehehe..

As for wall-e, the rating is 8.8. I love it!hehe.. It's not to say super funny..but i mean considering the movie is one n a half hours and 90% of the time no one is talking except wall-e calling eve's name n eve calling wall-e's name, n it was still very entertaining!

Hence, my recommendation, both also should watch!hehe..

'social marketing'-ing mystyle voucher

2008-07-26T22:48:00.006+08:00

The topic i chose for my health promotion assignment is social marketing. N very briefly, social marketing means doing social good via commercial marketing principles. Hence, i've come to a conclusion that i am doing social marketing by promoting mystyle voucher..hehe..as i am doing sth good for the public, and my social marketing approach is via advertising through my blog.*winks*

Well, I got to know this voucher thingie for quite some time already, but today was the first time i actually used it, thanks to my bro. N i find it really very useful!.

Anyway, i went to sunway pyramid today with my bro n his gf, n we had dinner at sushi king. My bro has already purchased the voucher via sms beforehand. For a meagre amount of rm3.50, we got this offer:
Buy 1 FREE 1 all sushi on the belt. Limited to 5 plates only, for same or lower value.

How cool is that wei..!! I mean, we took only purple and red plates...hehe..those rm6 or rm5 per plate that usually i'll b sooooooo reluctant to take! N hence, tak ambil la!

We ordered only one set meal, n the rest were sushis that we took from the belt. Note the one n only miserable blue plate on top that is rm2. That was excluded in the buy one free one sushi.=P

Anyway, this rm3.50 voucher can only b used once a year. But there are other rm1.50 vouchers that can be used with no limit. For the sushi king offer, the rm1.50 voucher entitles you to get 10% of total bill with no minimum amount.

There are lots more offers in various shops..e.g. Buy 1 FREE 1 Fish and Chips @ Manhattan Fish Market.

Btw, i bought a new bag for uni purpose. I told chin yeong n her one n only word was 'Finally....'
Hehe, yea yea i know. My housemates have been pestering me to buy a new bag for ages, saying my bag is too old.-_-"

Outing with anju & Poh Yee's BIRTHDAY!

2008-07-24T12:22:00.006+08:00

Ystd, devi went to meet up with dinie and anju in midvalley. So chin yeong n me tagged along cuz we only had one class in the morning!~~

We had a great time 'girl-bonding', just me, cy, devi and anju. She studying in ireland and is back for holidays!! Btw, fyi, she was my roommate when we were in intec.^^

Anyway, we went for lunch in Italiannies, and it was the first time i had it @ The Gardens. I kind of like the interior deco and table setting. I took picture of the table as proof!haha..

Not bad eh?? And the best part was we had a SET FOR FOUR, comprising mussels as appetizer, angel's hair, pizza and chicken fillet as main course, and raisin bread pudding as dessert. OK OK i know, i don't rmbr any of the names except the dessert.

Well, i din really like the mussels, tried a lot of better ones, but yea, cannot deny the portion is large la. So tat's a plus point.=) Anywa, here's some pics of all our dishes.*winks*

Later on, we met up with dinie, who was with juliana, but only had a very short time to talk, cuz we were rushing to times square to watch Imax the Dark Knight!!hehe..but i know la many people watch d.=( Anyhow, we managed to take a group photo, in New Zealand Naturals.

We managed to make it to Times Square by 6, although we only went to get a taxi at 5.15 and the taxi din wan to send us there! But yea, he did stop us near VI so we walked to times square from there.

Special thanks to Giri, for booking all our tickets.=) There were like 30 of us, n it was pretty hard to gather everyone for group photo with them walking here n there! So, below was the best we could do..hehe..

Oh, btw, i don think i have to comment on Dark Knight as semua pun sudah tengok. So, i shall proceed with our pretty much failed surprise for poh yee in times square.

First up, i asked wen yi n shen yang to go get the cake, then meet up with hang chuan (poh yee's bf) then only go kenny rogers, our supposed place of celebration. BUT, kenny rogers' waitress told us we had to wait 45 minutes for chicken, so we had to change destination. We went to secret recipe, BUT was denied entry oso. The guy said 'take away only'. Tat time was only 9pm!

We ended up in Food N Tea. N throughout our searching for place to eat, i kept having phone conversations with wen yi as the place kept changing, n there was problem with the cake. I guess poh yee got suspicious la that i was constantly on the phone.*sob*

Anyway, the real surprise was awaiting at home.*giggles* I gave brendan our house key n asked him to gather all the people we invited at 11pm. BUT, brendan called me wen we were in the lrt, n poh yee got suspicious cuz i walked away to answer the phone. Arghh...

Nevertheless i guess it turned out ok. Ard 30 ppl came.=) We bought her a mushroom soft toy, a gift from housemates. N we shared another gift with the rest aka cosmetic stuffs.=)

A photo of housemates.=D

Here's a group pic.=) The first photo we took din turn out cuz my hair was flying. It was quite bad la..hehe.. N they made a conclusion that it was bcuz my hair is light.-_-"

Movie day^^

2008-07-17T00:32:00.003+08:00

I went to midvalley today, with chin yeong, wen yi, poh yee n brendan. We wanted a movie marathon.^^

First up, journey to the centre of the earth.

Verdict: I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE 3D EFFECTS!!

I mean, heck, i really didn't feel anything exciting bout the movie. You know how the usual 3D n 4D makes you feel as if things are heading ur way? I only felt it ONCE throughout the almost 2 hour movie.

N to add up the 'excitement', there were only ONE DINOSAUR in the movie, which appeared for like...hmmm.....5 minutes at the end of the movie? N the best part was the dinosaur wasn't chasing in our direction, it was running towards the side.-_-"

Plus, the 3D glasses GSC provides is uncomfortable. It felt heavy n i was holding it throughout the show.

In conclusion, i really regret paying rm17 to watch the movie. Really think we should have watched the non-3D version for rm7. Arghh....!!!!!

Anyway, the next movie was Hellboy II..=D

Firstly, i felt a lot better cuz we only paid rm7 for the movie, which is very consoling considering the rm17 we paid for the very disappointing movie. Wen yi, chin yeong n brendan didn't join us cuz they went to watch Get Smart.

Instead, poh yee n i watched with cheh sia, choon hau, ken (not my ken..hehe) n andrew.^^
It was not bad. Just like the first Hellboy. I didn't have high expectation so all in all i fell it was pretty entertaining. Worth watching.=)

So, there goes my movie review for chian ming. I mean if u haven watch la..hehe..

I've done it AGAIN @ Pizza Hut

2008-07-12T23:07:00.003+08:00

I went to midvalley today with my family. N we went to Pizza Hut for lunch. We waited for roughly 20 minutes n food was still not served. Hence, the usual me promptly called for the waiter.

The waiter came.
Me : We've been waiting for our meal for 20 minutes.
Waiter : Oh. Let me check your order.

Guy left to check the order.
Waiter : I am so sorry. We forgot to hand in ur order. It will take about 10 minutes for ur order to come.
Me : (gave him a 'so what are u going to do about it?' look)
Waiter : I am sorry miss. We would like to apologize by giving u a free salad n free refill for ur 7 up revive jar. Is that ok?

I accepted the offer. N so, we got this for free!!

I could have put more, but i realised ppl sitting nearby were already looking at me n my bro when the bowl was quite full. So we decided to stop..hehe..
I mean anyway a salad n one whole jar of 7 up revive is worth more than the rm5 voucher already rite?

P/s: I meant again at the title cuz i've got a few vouchers from pizza hut before because of late delivery of meals.

Seven guys in a day

2008-07-12T00:39:00.009+08:00

Ok, i know the title sounds bit 'interesting'..but it is not what's on ur mind.=P
No, i did not get to know those seven guys in a club or at random in a shopping mall.

There were 7 guys n 7 girls, n it wasn't a blind date or match-making session.

I went for dinner with my frens and these seven guys were their frens from Incovar camp. Hence that explains how i got to know seven guys in a day.=)
So, what were u thinking?*winks*

Anyway, it was really fun to hang out with them..which explains our hours n hours of dinner.
We managed to take some group pics. N here's one.=)

By the way, some points i would like to highlight.
There's one guy missing in this picture. N i don't know his name.=P So im sorry.
The fourth guy from the right, KIRKSMAN, STOLE MY ICECREAM. Recognise his face n don't go near him.
Sin Ye made a terrible mistake by lying to Kevin that it's her birthday the next day. So poor Kevin bought icecream n waited til 12am n sang song for her in front of everyone..hehe..pretty embarassing when us all girls went like 'huhh?? wat is he doing?'

Anyway, on a side note, i wana complain bout food in IMU!! I went for dinner with my bro n his gf in cheras just now. I had wan tan mee n it costed rm3.50, with a pretty generous amount of 'char siew' n 3 wan tans in the soup. The taste was relatively good as well. The wan tan mee in IMU is no match to this. N it costs rm4 if im not mistaken.

The curry mee n pan mee in IMU are worse. Both do not taste what they are supposed to, i.e. NOT NICE!!

Here's a pic of my wan tan mee. Looks reasonably good for rm3.50 rite?

Genting trip

2008-07-07T13:38:00.006+08:00

Ok, i realised i haven't been blogging for some time already. Lazy me..hehe^^ Anyway, here's some update bout me. I was away at genting for a Leadership came organised by IMU. It was supposed to be on sat n sunday only. But we (including chin yeong, wen yi n poh yee) decided to go there a day earlier. Purpose? To have fun la!

N to enter the casino..hehe..i finally can enter LEGALLY!! Well, not that i could enter illegally previously anyway. I always get checked whenever i wanted to enter, even if i dress maturely n put on make up. This time i got checked as well. But as a consolation, it means i look young rite?hehe.. Ching yik said she never had to show her IC since form 5.=P

Anyway, on our way to genting, cy n i came across this building. N i immediately took out my camera to take picture of it..hehe..

Not bad shot eh?
Anyway, i shall not elaborate on the condition of the bus we took was. Cuz wen yi has already blogged on that. With pictures as solid evidence. In short, it was reeeeaaaaaaaaallly BAD.

We arrived there at bout 4pm. Got a number to check in. It was at 642 when we reached. N our number was 708!!! We waited for about one hour plus to checked in. Settled down in the room, n on our way to the karaoke, cy came across these automachines written,'Check in for those who have made a reservation and have fully paid using credit card.' Both of us went like 'ARGHHHH!!!' Hopefully next time i wont repeat such stupid mistakes!!

Anyway, we continued our plan of going to the karaoke. However, our plan was put on hold..cuz.....the two girls wanted to buy presents for their respective bfs.^^ Hence, while they were busy choosing which keychain was nicer to do engraving, cy n me instead went to buy tis! 'min fa tong'

Due to it's unique shape, we decided to cam-whore a lil..hehe..cute eh? War against sweeties.*smirk*

Sth amusing we found during the karaoke session. The 'A' was shifted. It's supposed to be 'Be A Star'. Instead it became Beast R. R for Renly?*sobs*

After the karaoke-ing session, we went to the casino..hehe.. But we didn't gamble la. Went to 'look look see see' m have some free drinks only..hehe.. N ya, after that we went to watch War of the Dragons. Very lame movie. Felt very lengthy. Not nice. Hehe.

Well, the next day we went down to half hill, Dominic Villa where the IMU Leadership Camp was held. It was a really interesting camp but i shall not elaborate much on what we did. Join for urself next time! Another plus point would be that the food was reasonably good, n we had six meals a day..muahahaha..

As a summary of the camp, I am categorised in group 'S', out of 4 groups namely D, I, S and C. Chin yeong is also in this group while wen yi n poh yee are in 'I' group. We were divided into respective groups n the picture below shows the most valued qualities in our life. (we chose it from a wide range of words listed in a paper)

As u can see, group D people are rather task-oriented n erm...cold-blooded..=P
Also, notice the difference between group I and S people..hehehe..

Anyway, this is only a generalisation. My own personal values from the DISC test, based on the graph are timid, considerate, obliging, warm, friendly, logical, adaptable, dependable, supportive, conservative, diplomatic and contemplative.

Here's a pic of my certificate. The trainer said to me when giving me the cert,'You have a unique name. Continue to have a unique life.'*all smiles*

N finally, a picture of my group. This is not the DISC group. Rather, a random grouping we had on the first day.

It's been two weeks...

2008-06-28T01:32:00.003+08:00

Im finally able to adapt to life without being able to see kenneth every single day. This week felt like it passed super fast!

Anyway, after coming back from germany, there have been a few things that i needed to adapt to. The first would b the size of my laptop.

The day i came back from germany n switched on my laptop, i realised the words were exceptionally small. For a while i thought that my eye power has increased. It was way later that day that i realised it was because i have been using kenneth's 22 inch plasma screen to go online for the past one month. N i thought i was going blind.-_-"

Secondly, i have been an environmentalist in germany. I placed plastics, aluminium, papers, degradable stuffs, glass n the rest accordingly. I used to think it was difficult. But it turned out very simple essentially. Coming back to m'sia, all i can do is chuck everything in one plastic bag n throw it. Cuz even if i separate it, the rubbish bin outside comprises only one bin. One bin for all. Woohoo? Don't think so.

Thirdly, i had a baby pillow to sleep on when i was there. It's super comfy and it fits the shape of my head. Ken gave it to me cuz it was too small for him. I would have brought it back if my bag had the space! Takde baby pillow-->insomnia.*sobs*

N an important one. Escalators in germany work the other way round. Right to go up n left coming down. I got so used to it that when i first came back, i wanted to go up using the right one, n jerked. Luckily i didn't fall, n there wasn't anyone at the low edge. Otherwise i would have knocked someone.

Well, i didn't do the same mistake when i first reached germany. Cuz kenneth was around so i just stick to him wherever he goes without needing my brain..=P

Movies that are good, n erm..incomprehensible

2008-06-28T00:12:00.010+08:00

I've watched a couple of movies these two weeks. Six to be exact. Out of which i truly enjoyed only three, i.e. Get Smart, 21 and Made of Honor. Get Smart is a very lame yet super funny movie. I mean considering the lead is Steve Carell, how can it be not funny??!!

The next one that i really liked was 21. The lead actress is super hot! I feel she has some resemblance to Jennifer Garner. N she dresses up differently in every casino scene. Feels like Alias eh? The lead actor on the other hand...hmmm....sometimes he looks cute, sometimes he doesn't.*sigh* Anyway this movie will be out in malaysia soon.=)

And finally, Made of Honor! A part of the movie was shot in Scotland! My housemates, n obviously me, got all excited when we saw how beautiful Scotland is. And the main guy, patrick dempsey, wore a mini kilt in the movie. Oooo...sexy legs...=D So, here's hoping that i will not fail my exam and will make it to scotland in another..ELEVEN MONTHS!!

This post is rather plain without pictures. So i went searching for the posters..=P

The following three movies. I was more of erm..confounded by what they are trying to convey. Paris Je T'aime was still all right. In fact, i kinda like it. N love some of it.

In case u're wondering, i said i love some of it cuz this movie consists of 18 short films. Thanks to li who explained what was happening as the movie progressed. Im downright sure that I won't understand a whole lot of it if she wasn't around. By the way, source of this movie: liyana.

The Happening, which is also the first movie i watched after coming back to m'sia, seem to hold very deeeeep meaning. I understand it as the world is sick, we have to do our part to save it. Am i right? Anyway i don't think there's a right or wrong for what i understand from the movie. After all, a movie from M. Night Shymalan always embraces multifaceted complex meaning.

N finally, the movie i watched today. In Bruges starring Colin Farrell. It's a 2008 movie which i don't think is shown in malaysia. I was initially attracted by its high rating in imdb. And hence asked ken to download it for me. Watched it, and pondered for many many seconds why it has such high ratings. Well, perhaps i didn't like it cuz i couldn't catch some of their conversation due to the strong accent.

Anyway sth 'interesting' in the movie. A prostitute from Amsterdam went to Bruges and had *** with a midget. Apparently she can get higher price for her p**** in Bruges compared to in Amsterdam. LOL.

P/s: Bruges is a place in Belgium.

Food I cooked in Germany

2008-06-20T21:15:00.008+08:00

Im back in m'sia for almost a week now. N just realised i forgot to post the most important post of all! How can i forget to acknowledge my hard work!hehe..

Well, western food isn't exactly my kind. Not that i don't like it. In fact, i love it! But not everyday though. Tak boleh tahan.

So...
I cooked most of the days, unless we go out, or im lazy..hehe..
Below are a series of my breakfast 'masterpieces'...=)

The mayo was put by me. In case u think there's nothing wrong with it. I've also attached another photo below where kenneth put the mayo. Just for comparison, for obvious reasons.-_-"

Next! The lunches n dinners that i cooked. Just a note, due to the lack of vege in germany. My options were narrowed to brocolli, 'bo lei sang choi' n carrots. There are oso some others like capsicum, asparagus etc which i don't know how to cook..*acting innocent*

Hehe, this is one example when i'm lazy to cook.^^
Well, notice the hand there. It's cuz ken cooked the fried rice. N he's very proud of it. That was the only time he cooked when i was there.=P

There goes. I feel very proud of myself!! I think those were my sole most cooked meals within a month. N if u noticed, almost all the meals have this either mushroom potato or mushroom carrot.

The reason behind was cuz after the first time i cooked it, kenneth got so addicted to it n asked me to cook everyday. Even i muak of cooking it d oso he stil wasn't. So it wasn't that i didn't have other things to cook k!

P/s: I didn't take photos of all the food i cooked. Probably missed out 2 or 3. But the above are pretty much all of it.*winks*

Inflation in Malaysia

2008-06-16T20:29:00.008+08:00

I haven't been doing grocery shopping in M'sia for bout two months plus now, since my study break. And i had one with my housemates in Carrefour today.

For all i could remember, rice was priced at rm30sth. At least the one i bought was that price. N now it has shot up to rm49.90! When wen yi showed me the price of rice, I can only say that my expression when i saw the price of rice was-->stunned + mouth open humongously.

That was a major shock i got. I also noticed price hike in some other things. Maybe the prise has risen steadily since a long time ago but i didn't realise. I dunno.

I remember canned sardin being priced at around rm3sth. Now it is rm5.50.

A tray of eggs size A used to be rm7sth. Now eggs type D (much smaller) is rm8.10.

I know the price of Peel Fresh has always been increasing. It used to be rm3.19, then 3.49, and i stopped buying when it got to rm3.89. Now, it is rm4.99.

N with the petrol price of rm2.70 per litre, how to survive in malaysia!!

Back in malaysia

2008-06-15T20:19:00.010+08:00

Im back in m'sia. Been unpacking, that is, no time to cry. Anyway i really think i feel better now. The past 24 hours or so was simply disastrous. Especially when leaving his room in the morning n at the airport. I admit i cried a lot. N i know i gave him a really hard time when i didn't want to leave.

I shall not elaborate on the moment i burst into tears once i saw the boarding gate. Nor will i detail out the hours of me crying in the plane or before i sleep after i reached putra heights.

Initially i thought i would be doing so. But after some time, the deeply emotional me has progressively subsided. N the more rational me has appeared! So this post will not be a miserable, gloomy, despondent one.*thankful look*

On the way back to vista, climbing the stairs to reach B1-B2-2, i had mixed feelings. I tried to sort it out. N if i need to put it into words, it would b a feeling of 'going back to reality.'

Having stayed in germany for one month felt like a dream. A wonderful dream. I loved every moment i spent there. I really love that place. Why exactly?

1) The air is so fresh. Makes me wana go for a walk at the park nearby.
2) People there are generally friendly, n honest.
3) Cars there r cheap. So, nice cars kiri kanan depan belakang.
4) Safety. At least much safer than in malaysia.
5) More of a countryside. Breathtaking scenery, very peaceful.-->ease at heart
6) Strong currency. Everything is cheap without converting.
7) No stray dogs. All are healthy n cute!ehe..

The list will go on and on if i do not stop. But that doesn't mean i don't love malaysia.=) Especially my family, frens and the food here.=)

Shopping @ stuttgart

2008-06-13T16:18:00.005+08:00

It was a sunny day, which all germans would love going out. N having stayed here for a month, i love it when it is sunny too! It makes me feel energetic and full of life! We went there around noon, as ken said there wasn't much to shop there, one two hours can 'gao tim' already. But guess what we shopped there till 7pm.*salute*

And as usual, it was a very tough day when it comes to shopping for souvenirs. I only managed to get two presents..sigh.. A shirt which is for my dad, n a cap..not sure who to give yet..hehe..

We did not take many photos as:
Point 1-He was obviously sick of all the churches, ancient buildings, parliaments etc etc.
Point 2-I was getting sick of them already too..hahaha..

Anyway, here's one that i wanted to take cuz i love the park. Everyone can just lie there n have picnic. Well, there's one such lovely park in esslingen as well, with swans as a plus point.=)

This, according to kenneth, is a castle. But he wasn't sure either. Random guess.

This one is for my beloved daddy devi!haha.. Devi don't get me wrong. It was kenneth who asked me to pose there, to show to u..*he's happy that u geram with our Paris LV photo*

N finally, our grande item of the day. Creative 5.1 speakers. Well, obviously it's not mine. Kenneth didn't like his current speakers (so do i), so we got a new one.

P/s: the speakers were tested and proven (by me) to be a high-performance speakers at an affordable price!haha.. I got terrified when i heard the lion roar at the beginning of the movie we watched.

Rocky 1 to 6

2008-06-12T16:26:00.007+08:00

I realised i haven been blogging much recently, and some people even asked me about it. Thanks for the concern!
Well, previously i usually blog when i was free. These few days, the free time has been used to watch these...

Yup, that's right. I have become an avid fan of sylvester stallone and have been watching rocky 1 to 5 for the past few days. Thanks to kenneth's internet speed here, it only takes 10-15 minutes to download a movie.
Apparently, foo yee's room connection is even faster. Download speed of around 1500kbps.*faint*

Anyway, i have yet to watch rocky balboa, the latest rocky, which i have already downloaded. Here, at the age of 60, he comes out from retirement and fights a 20sth heavyweight champion. This movie also stars Milo Anthony Ventimiglia. Familiar? How bout Peter Petrelli?hehe..

Great day shopping @ Metzingen!

2008-06-01T19:38:00.009+08:00

I went to Metzingen on sunday, famous for it's factory outlet prices for expensive brands like Burberry, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger etc. Which well, i didn't buy any of them..

They also have many afforable outlets such as nike, puma, esprit, adidas, swatch etc. Here's a photo of some of the outlets available. Click on the photo if u want to read the list of outlets.

Anyway, they also have brands like Reebok, Triumph etc which are not listed anywhere, i wonder why.

We reached Metzingen at 11am. N shopped till around 5pm..muahahaha..
N the result was..tada...

We went in most of the shops there. Except some shops which we weren't interested in. When we entered Esprit, there was total zero trolley. Kenneth said i might probably need one also. But it turned out the other way round. I DID NOT BUY ANYTHNG FROM ESPRIT for myself.

Why?

Simple. Everything was huge. Those very few XS shirts that i could find, i don't like. Those i liked, i couldn't fit. I then resorted to pants and skirts. The smallest i could find was size 34, which i naively thought was the measurement of the butt. N so i thought i probably can fit. It turned out 34 was the waist size.-_-"

I got some other things for other people though.

Well, a summary of what i bought..
The pictures below are strictly not in preference order.=P
It is the order of buying them.

My adidas ClimaCool.

Cute bagpack..hehe..

Kenneth wanted to buy sandals cuz his sandals rosak already. We picked this sandals, which we then saw the offer of 2nd pair 50% off. We saw an exact girl version of his sandals. So we got a pair of it.. Our first couple sandals..*happie*

N finally, after much deep intense consideration, i got this watch. I liked it a lot, but it was a bit loose, n the length couldn't b adjusted.

Pic of all the things i bought. The two same t-shirts were bought from Esprit. One for my bro n one for ken.=)

P/s: All things for myself were bought by ken. All are my pressies!!whee!! Thank you! muacks muacks..
Also, i bought two other things from Esprit for my frens too. (don't want to mention who..hehe..)

Bon Jovi Concert!

2008-06-01T19:02:00.008+08:00

You see this photo below? Written 'front of stage'. We were probably the front 5% of all people present. Woohoo!!

We reached the stadium at about 4.30pm. N the concert was supposed to start at 5.30pm. Unfortunately, it only started at 6.30pm. N thanks to an italian band which sang TWELVE songs, we were all dead bored. No one knew how to sing their songs except a small group carrying italy flag.

The concert only officially started at about 8pm. It was held in Gottlieb-Daimler stadium, with a capacity of around 58,000 people. The stadium seats were FULL. N the entire ground was FULL as well. So i'm guessing there were more than 100,000 people?

See those tiny dots at the side. Those are humans..hehe..

Some of the clear shots with my camera, without using flash.

Anyway, once Bon Jovi came out, the bore was all gone. The 2 and half hours with them passed with a blink of an eye. It didn't feel long at all, unlike the first twelve songs which felt like forever.

We had a super great time! Except the waiting at the beginning, n the pushing into the train after the concert. Which mostly reminded me of ktm n lrt buatan malaysia. N on a side note, germans are like malaysians too..according to this photo:

*winks*

Paris (Day 3)

2008-06-01T18:39:00.003+08:00

The last day of our trip in paris..sobs! So reluctant to leave this place! I felt so much like a tourist and liked that feeling..hehe.. Unlike in germany, kenneth knows the language and all, i feel so homely, which probably is a good thing i guess.

We headed off to Moulin Rouge as our first stop. Saw a lot of 'interesting' photos of scantily clad girls..hehe.. Anyway it was too costly to enter. Show plus dinner is around 150-200 euros/pax!

We went to Arc de Triomphe for a while and spent most of our remaining day in Champs-Élysées. Things there are expensive. N i mean it! Well, at least i meant it for LV. It was huuuuge, comprising a few floors, selling bags, diamond rings, men and ladies outfits, accesories, shoes, etc etc u name it. One ladies' handbag can cost about 5000 euros! That's like RM25000!*pengsan* And a heels that i saw, was 1800 euros.

Anyway we received a very warm welcome. Which i attribute that to me and kenneth being chinese, and tonnes of people paying at the cashier counter, are also chinese.-_-"

Arc de Triomphe, which we didn't enter..ehe..

Peugeot showroom.

Louis Vuitton in Paris!

We came back to germany by night bus. Our total cost there was about 700 euros. So anyone interested to go there, can start saving now!*winks*

Paris (Day 2)

2008-05-29T18:39:00.013+08:00

We originally planned to go up Eiffel tower in the morning. Which means we might need to go queue at 7am cuz it's a sunday. But due to the extreme tiredness from the previous day, not mentioning spending the night in the bus, we decided to postpone it to the third day.

We started our second day to Musee du Louvre. Everyone knows what it is and everyone knows what's inside. There were too many state-of-the-art sculptures and exquisite paintings it was impossible to appreciate all of them. We managed to see a lot of them though. And yes, Mona Lisa has never failed to gather the most crowd. But well, Nike of Samothrace and Michelangelo's Rebellious Slave and Dying Slave have their own fans as well.

A pic with Pyramid Inversee before we entered the museum.. Tat guy behind very 'cho teng' la..hehe..

Louvre. Very sunny day..*happie*

Our next stop was Notre Dame. It was a sunday when we went, so there were many people in the church. I wondered if the visitors were a distraction for them.

Notre Dame

A miniature of Notre Dame

Based on my map reading skills..ehem ehem..we managed to walk to the Pantheon. However we didn't enter cuz the entry was 7 euros and we thought that we would probably leave that place after 15 minutes..hehe..

We then went to Jardin du Luxermbourg. It's apparently a very famous park. I was pretty amazed actually. I mean the park has museums, palace, water fountain and sculptures everywhere. We had our moments there, and then proceeded to St-Sulpice. I imagined it to be small. But it turned out really big..hehe.. Anyway, we had the chance to see the original zero-longitude line, the Rose Line.

The Rose Line

We had dinner at Chartier. Well, the decoration was plausible. But we had a rather unpleasant experience there. N the food wasn't exactly good as recommended in the survival book we had. In short, highly not recommended..hehe..

The deco in Chartier..

We then went to Eiffel Tower to catch the night view. But we soon realise that the night view was way nicer than the day view!hehe.. N considering the queue wasn't long, partially thanks to a concert held near eiffel tower, we decided to go up eiffel tower during the night. N the view really didn't disappoint us! It was..ooo...romantic..hehe..

Taken by my digital camera from the top of eiffel tower. Not bad eh?

Thanks to some tricks using my sony camera, it looks like sunset eh?hehe..it's actually already dark.

This was the actual lighting.

N finally, to sum up our moments on Eiffel Tower.
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Paris (Day 1)

2008-05-29T16:45:00.006+08:00

I wanted to blog yesterday after i came back from paris, but i was so freaking exhausted i decided to put things off to today..hehe..

Our trip to paris was a spectacularly splendid, event-filled, awe-inspiring, mind-boggling, astounding, beyond believe trip. Well, i have no idea what i just wrote. So in short, it was simply incredible!!

We reached paris ard 6.30am. But with all the hassle to get from the bus station to the place we stay (which was quite far), and then getting to disneyland, which is located outside paris city, we only managed to reach disneyland at 11am.

To those intending to go to paris, i suggest u take the Paris Visite. We took the three days pass. It costed us 19€ each, and we could travel to anywhere we want within zone 1-3. Paris is in zone 1, so practically all places that we went were in zone 1.

Only time we went further than zone 1 was when we took the train to zone 3, then bought an extra metro ticket to disneyland. The ticket from Neuilly Plaisance (zone 3) to and from disneyland (zone 5) was already 8.10 €, so i bet ticket from zone 1 to disneyland would be more expensive. Hence strongly advised to fully utilise your Paris Visite and take to zone 3 first.

Anyway, we encountered an angel while buying tickets! By right tickets for two of us should be 16.20€, but the ticket counter salesperson looked at us and asked us how old we were. Kenneth told him our truthful age. But that guy then continued staring at us (particularly me), and then handed us the ticket and said that our total is 8€..muahahaha..

Well, to back my suggestion of taking Paris Visite, some condemnation is probably required though i do it with an immensely reluctant heart. *yeah right* The metro line in Paris and its respective regions is indeed organised. The train comes very frequently, every 5 minutes. Hence no persistent pushing and fighting into the train like those in malaysia.

HOWEVER:

1) The ticketing counter is usually closed. Hence no assistance of whatever sort.
2) There is usually only one automachine to buy tickets. Hence the long queue at certain stations.
3) Some machines only accept card and coins. Hence...what the heck? Carry tonnes of coins around??
4) N the best part is, the machine gets jammed. (Our personal experience when we wanted to go to disneyland. The machine got stucked. Everyone didn't know what to do. No counter was open for assistance. Ken and i had to resort to taking train to another metro station to try if the machine there was working. And this is the part where you will be yelling in frustration if you don't have the Paris Visite)

Anyway, back to disneyland. We spent the whole day there till 10pm! There was so much to see, so much to play, so much fun and laughter! I shall not elaborate much on the things we did. U have to come to experience it for urself! But then again from the pictures i saw from my parents trip to japan, i think tokyo disneyland should be better, slightly at least. Anyway, here's some pics in Disneyland!

For more pics, visit my friendster photos @ http://www.friendster.com/viewalbums.php?uid=10495887

Btw, to wen yi, i think the new tiny world in Hong Kong disneyland is 'It's a small small world'
I've attached a video for a sneak preview for you..hehe.. The entry to paris disneyland is around rm250. The entrance to HK disneyland is half the price right? Hmm, no harm going again i guess..hehe..count me in!

Ulm with Wei Chung and Vincent

2008-05-23T19:54:00.010+08:00

I went to Ulm yesterday, to meet up with Wei Chung and Vincent. N they became my tour guide of the day! I took a train from Esslingen (Neckar) to Ulm Hbf, and it costed me ken 14.60 euros. Expensive gila!

I reached there at 12.44pm as it was earlier stated. (trains here are really punctual) N wei chung was already there waiting for me. Thank you! Vincent on the other hand, was rushing up the stairs when we exited. We bumped into each other there.

First stop, we went for a stroll at the main street in ulm. They wanted to bring me to a restaurant serving schnitzel popular there, but the shop was closed. We ended up in Michelangelo Ristorante.

This beer called Radler is a common drink there. It tastes sweet somehow, unlike those beer we find in malaysia. Or malaysia has it? Ah, i don't know. I seldom drink.

My pasta! Long long german name which i've totally forgotten the name..ehe..

Me n vincent. He's so happy to see me eh?

After satisfying our appetite, we continued our explore in ulm. We took a lot of photos (with me in it) cuz according to vincent, photos without a person in it can be easily googled, that is - strictly prohibited. Anyway, some of the landmarks there include this pyramid which is actually a public library ~~which both of them have never entered.~~

There was also an astronomical clock which people would stare for hours which i wonder why. I didn't want to take photos cuz i didn't particularly have any interest on it. But vincent said all visitors take photos of it. So i guess i should follow the norm?

We then went to Ulm Münster. It is the TALLEST CHURCH IN THE WORLD with a steeple containing 768 steps. And i, Lim Renly, set a record of reaching the top! Oooh, i've reached such great heights in my life!hehe..

Photos with Wei Chung n Vincent before our journey up. Upon reaching the top, we could view the city of Ulm in Baden-Württermberg and also Neu-Ulm in Bayern (another province).

Stufen means steps in German.

I can proudly announce that the whole trip going down, i wasn't afraid at all ~~unlike the two guys with me.~~

Anyway, before i left Ulm, we went to Henry's Coffee World to pamper ouselves to some drinks. I ordered Caramel Macchiato.*woots*

That's my drink..hehe..

P/s: Vincent n Wei Chung paid for all my expenses there! Vincent even paid for my train ticket back to Esslingen. I cannot be more grateful considering that they spent the whole day accompanying me, n that the things there are super expensive. A simple meal can easily cost more than 10 euros @ rm50.

Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Garden

2008-05-21T23:20:00.009+08:00

The weather forecast showed that it's 9°C. It was freezing cold!! And yes pat, i did ask ken to buy me a jacket. Gosh, can i not admit i am petite. There wasn't a single jacket that i could fit in after going to a few shops. Alas, i found an XS jacket, which i could fit in! N it costed only 16 euro according to ken, which with no doubt i immediately converted it to ringgit malaysia, making it rm80..hehe.. Luckily it's spring now. Cuz i saw the original price tag was 40 euros..rm200!

While i was trying on the XS jacket, scrutinizing every bit of it, ken kept trying different hats on me..n insisted that i take one. So well, ahem, i did take one.. N the final result was..tada....

Anyway, as planned, we went to Wilhelma Zoo. It's located in Bad Cannstatt. It's a zoological cum botanical garden, one of the largest zoo in germany. The major attraction there currently is a baby polar bear named Wilbaer. He made his first appearance in april. N im already there seeing him in may..woohoo!!

Lots of visitors came mainly for Wilbaer. Due to the long queue, we started cam-whoring..hehe..

Besides the zoo, there was also a tropical garden, but we did't explore much. Cuz it's pretty much the same as the jungles in malaysia..

But, but, there were lots of animals which we could get really close in contact with, e.g penguins, tigers, elephants, giraffe etc. And i managed to touch penguins, donkey, cow etc for the first time of my life!hehe..

Interesting bird eh? The pelican could turn his head 180° and stuff it inside his..erm..back?

This 'i don't know the name' fish was really good at camoflaging itself! I didn't even notice it at first.

This 'thing' called Limulus Polyphemus or Pfeilschwanzkrebse in German (go ahead n pronounce it..hehe) has existed since 350 million years ago. There are only 4 species left, n the amusing thing is that 3 of them are found in south east asia. N i came alllll the way to germany to see one.*deep sigh*

N finally, this! I think it looks like ~~Devi~~ Davy Jones..don't u think so?

First dinner @ Esslingen

2008-05-21T14:41:00.004+08:00

The portion here is huuuuuuge! The schnitzel (something like chicken chop), is approximately 3 times the size of those we can find in malaysia.

The upper two was what kenneth ordered. It comes in a set. The lower was mine! I could only finish half of it.-_-" Plus actually mmine was a bit tough to cut into pieces, didn't really like it. Kenneth's choice was way better!!

This is apparently a traditional german food, which i can't recall the name at this moment. Ordered by phoebe, the only girl in the dinner group besides me. I could see that she had a tough time trying to finish up her portion as well.

We spent a couple of hours there, mainly cuz we were chattering all the way. N with the immense portion, it really took us quite some time to finish up till the last bit.

We left about 9sth. N before we parted our ways..a decent group picture..*all smiles*

Destiny

2008-05-20T16:52:00.007+08:00

Ken brought me to the place he takes driving lessons, but we couldn't find the car he drives.

Instead, on the way back, we came across a mercedes of the same model. Well, this is the car he drives for driving lessons. Compare that what we use in malaysia! a tiny winy kancil..hehe..

Well, destiny brought me to a mercedes with the car plate 1018, kenneth's birthday.

I mean, what are the chances rite?

Esslingen

2008-05-20T16:07:00.008+08:00

The air here is soooo fresh! It's pretty sunny outside..going for a stroll now at the park would be fantastic! I know i can take a long deep breath here, n be certain tat the air is not polluted. ~~Would have ended up coughing in malaysia.~~

Anyway, esslingen, the current place i stay, is a small town in germany. Nevertheless, the view is breathtaking.

I mean, where can u find swans in the river, living in wild? Certainly not in malaysia. Kenneth told me that before he went to croatia, the eggs had not hatched. N now, there r six babies already! whee!!

N most of the buildings here are of historic values.
Well, except kenneth's uni, which i haven't taken any photos.

Kenneth's room

2008-05-20T03:31:00.007+08:00

I was in awe when i saw the view from kenneth's room. Unbelievable!
There's this really nice church and various old buildings.

Hmm, let me recall wat i have in front of my house in vista komanwel. There's erm, a building which is a condo, n erm, imu, n erm..nothing much..sigh..again...

Anyway, good thing is tat my room is neater than his..i mean WAY neater..(hope he doesn't notice this line) Cant really blame him actually, cuz we seriously have different views on cleanliness. Perfect example-i saw this empty container n wanted to put some food stuffs inside. I asked him if it's clean. He said yes. I opened the container. This was wat i saw.

I stared at him. N he said i quote 'ya la, clean wat, only got chocolate powder inside only'. I washed it n showed him wat is the meaning of a clean container. There we go.

Better? His room seriously needs some 'readjustments'. I started off with the food place. And after a woman's touch, it became like tis:

Tada! Neater than any time before i came i believe..*evil smirk*

First Day in Germany

2008-05-20T03:04:00.009+08:00

Cant believe im writing my second blog in germany!

I had an almost sleepless night during the 13 hours flight..partly attributed to the MAS air-stewardess who wakes me up every now and then asking me what i want to drink..-_-"

Anyway, on arrival at the frankfurt airport, i couldn't help but took some photos..

This is one at the airport..i think klia looks nicer..hehe..

Kenneth was already at the airport when i walked out after collecting my luggage. He said couples who meet at the airport would kiss..so that was what we did..*blush*

Anyway, we went to mannheim after that, the place where vee lynn stays..gave her two hugs, one on behalf of chin yeong:)

We then headed off to heidelberg. Claimed to have erm, nicest castle there? not sure..hehe..a supposedly must go place..but den i find it ok only..hehe..

View from the castle.

Part of the castle.

Yeap, tat's the castle at the mountain.

We took what's known as slow train to go back to esslingen. ~~Which is obviously faster than out lrt n monorial.~~

woots!~~

2008-05-16T15:24:00.008+08:00

This is to officially kick off my new blog..=) Im not exactly sure how often i will blog, or wil i just abandon it like how i treated my previous ones..
But yea, at least i tried!hehe..

*It's a Fishy life*
