My First Baking Experience

2011-12-10T07:48:00.001-08:00

Hello people, this post is going to be random. It's about my first baking experience. Just the thought of sharing and well, keeping it as a memory. Cause this is my first time baking without the help of anyone. But haha, my mom was there to guide me a little on the used of the appliances because I really suck at fixing stuff and moreover, my measurements were terrible, not accurate enough but I'm glad that it turned out well at the end :) So, phewww...

The picture above is the mixing of butter and sugar together. The butter I used was Buttercup brand.

Measuring the quantity of the flours. Mom helped me with these. She also thought me how to fold the flours into the the mixed ingredients. Folding the flours into the mixed ingredients is considered one of the most important step.

And it is ready to be bake! I was so excited but at the same time quite nervous with the outcome.

At last, it turned out quite well but I noticed that the temperature and time should be level down.The cake looked quite dark in the above but the taste was just alright. Not too sweet, just the right amount of taste.

I supposed it was quite a success. Yeah!! The relatives and mommy was quite impressed and they even asked me to bake another time. LOL.
FYI, I got the recipes from kuali.com.my by Amy Beh.

I guess baking is the craze at the moment. There's more to come. I'll continue to share it here in my blog.

Bye..

Nicole's Small Farewell

2011-10-21T23:20:00.000-07:00

Hello all. I know I've been missing in action for quite some time already. So many changes had been made including the upgrade of blogger to a whole new look. Guess I've not been blogging for ages. I will keep updating as much as I can. But sometimes I feel like I'm totally lack of inspiration! haha..

So this post will be the babe's mini farewell.Sort of. We just had a short outing, going for movies together, chatting, and brought her for dinner before sending her off to KL in the airport.

There was nothing to shop in Quuensbay the other day. All of us felt bored but thank god we settled down for a movie. It was What's your number by Anna Farris and the drop dead charming Mr Chris Evans.

After movie, we went over to J Co for some froyo. It was quite a long time ago since I last had J Co's yogurt cause most of the time I had Tutti Fruitti which was practically nearer to my place.

Talked of having steamboat that day so we decided to try it at La Mei Zi. The one at Krystal Point since it was nearer to the airport. And you know, how everyone's saying that La Mei Zi was so good this and that and so we gave it a taste.But all of us felt that it was okay only, maybe the other branch at Nagore Road would be better. Or it would be the same only and we still have our preference for Golden Gate Steamboat or Hooi Kee Steamboat at the mainland or you know the best would be home cooked steamboat. Lol.. Nothing beats that, I suppose.

We ordered the set one which was for 3 to 4 pax. The dishes was not big, all came in at small portion, just enough for 3 to 4 people. And they also prepared 1 bowl of bihun, 1 bowl of rice and 1 instant noodles. It's only RM 38 for this set.

As usual two sides of soups. One is the classic chicken flavor and the other one is the spicy tom yam. And i really meant it, the tom yam was real spicy. Cousin could not even finish his bowl of rice when he filled his rice with the tom yam soup. haha..

After dinner, quickly rushed her to the airport. Waited for her to check in and me, Jenny and the cousin got ourselves McD's sundae cone since all of us were craving for it.

Took some pictures before she went in to the departure hall and I looked fucking ugly in those two pictures above so please ignore my face. As usual, the babe was reluctant to go back and I missed her real bad. Gotta wait for a month plus for her next trip to Penang.

That's it for today. Hope everyone had a wonderful time :)

Wilson's 22nd birthday

2011-08-20T20:15:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, as I've promised I will come out with a blog post this week. So here it is. I'm back!

Well, this post is about Wilson's 22nd birthday( the title says it all!). Helped him to celebrate at Delicious, Straits Quay. I've been dying to go on a try at Delicious after receiving plenty of good feed backs from my fellow friends regarding this restaurant.

The whole ambiance was perfectly decorated with a contemporary concept, suitable for dining at any affair be it with your family or friends. It was kinda packed that day but the manager on duty was quick to assist us to our table. Very friendly indeed and the service was not too slow either.

My iced peach tea.
It also comes with a small lil jar of sugar water for you to pour into the peach tea.

Ordered this homemade pesto spagetthini. It was simply delicious! (haha rhymes with the restaurant name as well)

Cousin order smoked salmon spaghetti while Jenny ordered seafood spaghetti. Her's were a lil disappointing as it was not up to the taste she wanted but the prawns and squids were big and fresh.

After our meals, we paved in for some sinful dessert.

Definitely wanting more as it was simply yummy! Me and Jenny shared banoffe pie together. The banoffe pie was topped with creamy white cream on top and stuffed with banana and caramel. Look at the caramel flowing out from the pie!

Cousin's cheese cake. It was topped with caramel and macadamia nuts.

Blur picture of Jenny! hehe

Me & Jenny

Took lotsa pictures after finished eating. So bare with our "vainess" later ;p

Emptied our plates in a very clean manner. Lol.

Me & the birthday boy :)

Jenny & Wilson.

Epic Princess! how cool was that?

After eating and done camwhoring, we walked around the place as the weather was cooling that night. Love the atmosphere a lot where people everywhere are chilling and relaxing.

Bloated!

Couldn't go for second round as planned earlier. Or else I'd looked like a giant. ooopppss~

Once again, happy birthday cousin. Hope you had good time!
That's all for now. Will be back for more :)

2011-08-13T21:13:00.000-07:00

Hello all, I thought I'd spare some time to blog this week but it turns out that my camera USB port is not with me. And after that, I thought I'd upload the pictures taken using phone but it turns out that the USB is fucking not with me.arrggghhhh... so mad at myself.

I do feel guilty for not blogging but I can only blame myself for that. Super duper busy girl. No pictures would mean that my blog could somehow die off like that. It's gonna be dead plain.

So exactly what's going on with my life?

It's been like a roller coaster ride. I've done with my first semester exams. Results were okay but still have to improve on it. I've also been shouted regularly by some bastard guys which leaves me feeling annoyed and mad! Imagine being shouted in the early morning by some real fucktards?!

And also my mixed up feeling and emotions towards relationships. I hate those feeling a lot.The past four years memories always haunts me when I finally manage to step forward and take up the courage.

Also I tend to have a bad habit of spending money like flowing waters. It's my shopping obssesion and I'm still figuring out how to own money now.

Till then, goodbye <3. Have a good day everyone.

hello!

2011-08-06T03:33:00.000-07:00

Hello people. I guess i've neglected my blog for a very long time. Ahh..how much i've missed blogging. I'm not gonna abandon this blog. I will start blogging again probably next week. So stay tuned!

Postive thinkings, please...

2011-06-25T22:06:00.001-07:00

Hello and greetings to all. It's a Sunday and I feel good, doing things in a laze, no rush, just enjoying food and feeling the hot blazing sun with blowing winds while blogging near the balcony in my house.

My mood brightens up knowing that tomorrow will be a holiday which means no school and ahhh, you know how I just love holidays and breaks. Holidays would mean shopping again. *evil laughs*

So what am I up to for these past few weeks?

1) Going to school and waking up that early.
2) Shop like a mad girl, exceeding my limits. I've set my own principles, buy what you love, then you'll have no regrets. Okay seriously, no regrets but you'll smile all day to yourself :)
3) Trying to enjoy life.
4) Catching up with friends.
5) Keep moving on, forget about the past, those ugly memories.
6) Still trying to figure my aim for life.

School has been okay but my feelings are rather numb about the fact that I actually had to endure my own dislike and embarrassment of going back to school instead of college. There had been ups and downs but I'm glad that my friends are still hanging on with me. It's challenging for now, I'm still trying to adapt to the whole new environment of being a Pre-U student and thinking of what I really want in the future. Of course I hope there'll be no regrets as well.

I'm proud of how I could manage to handle those pressure and emotional setbacks all myself. I made the first move almost all the time, I hate it at first, but I try to convince myself that this is what I'm suppose to do in order to cheer up and being normal. The whole thing of socialising and start getting to use to new people are rather tough actually. If you voice out, then people will only understand you. I believe in that.

Cant wait till actually all these unhappy episodes of life would faster end so I can proceed with what I really want to do.

Amidst all those unhappy things that are struck upon me, what really brightens me up would be the amount of shopping I've done! Shopping makes me happy. It's like my own therapy of healing sadness, hahaha you can try that if you want but do not, I repeat DO NOT, exceed your limits of spending, just like what I did, because I over spent beyond my budget. That's a bad thing, you know? And then you will have the trouble of finding back your money. LOL.

And also, buy those stuff that you love a lot so that you wont have regrets. That will be my shopping principles from now on. I used to have the thinking last time that it's better to save up buying those expensive stuff. In the end, I felt like nothing at all, not enjoying a single bit of shopping but now, it's different. Every time I come back from shopping, I'd feel very good and productive.

I'm still in the midst of adapting to my whole new environment besides trying to figure out my aim of life. I do have aims but I'm really afraid of those results that is least expected. Sometimes, I feel like I've put too much pressure on myself, but again, without those pressure and pushing myself hard, I find it extremely tough to get myself place competitively. I find it tough to define perfection. I also have this habit of being not contented and happy about myself. I need some confidence to be normal, and to actually tell myself that I'm born this way, so I should be thankful for what is blessed.

I've been missing lots of self healing time between me and God. I really should spend some time thinking of getting myself back and encouraging myself from time to time. I have weaknesses that should be left away and all I want is to feel happy, enjoying every detail of wonderful moments :)

Lisha's sister engagement

2011-06-10T08:17:00.001-07:00

My babe, Lisha, invited me to her sister's engagement on last Saturday. Could make it finally after my Ipoh trip with the family was cancelled at the last minute.

Was happy to be there because it was my first time experiencing a very typical type of an Indian engagement. Her wedding is soon to arrive. Can't wait for it either :)

Plus getting to meet some of my 'long lost' classmates was just exciting. Great catch up with them and chatted all night cause everyone is heading to Uni already at the end of this month. Missed them so much!

My outfit for the night =)

Singlet :Kitschen

Tight bodycon skirt :Cotton On

Clincher :Acewin

I arrived there kinda late that day cause I was waiting for Thipa's mom to get ready. I couldn't find a proper place to sit as well.

But basically, during an Indian engagement, the couple would exchange rings together and get their blessings from their parents. I'm not sure if it's correct if I called them monk, but these monks in front will perform some prayers and then blessed the newly engaged couple. The guest would sort of be their witness in this engagement.

Since it was held in the hall right beside the temple, so vegetarian food was served instead of all those meat based food.

The food was served in array of buffet style. Too bad I didn't get to try those food cause I told you, I was talking non stop. Lol.

What amazed me truly was, how the Indians are being so respectful towards their own culture. When taking their food, all of them queued up in a long straight line without much hesitation. It's not like some other people who are not respectful enough and they will just pushed and squeezed everywhere to fight for food. My friend told me these culture has been long practised since last time. It's like a tradition.

Kinda wasted and sad also cause I couldn't get the chance to take pictures with the couple on the stage up there. Too many people up there who went congratulating the newly engaged couple.

I've totally forgotten what is this thing called.

But it was given to those Indian guest who attend on that day.

Yeah! My favourite picture with Thipa that day :D

With Kavitra. So nice meeting her again after so long.

With the pretty and tall Pyarri. She looked good on her Sari that day. Loved her bangles a lot.

Arrived home at about 11.30pm after having supper with the new found friend. Lol. Then continue to party on later with another gang. I had a really wonderful time.

Hope everyone does :)

Goodbye.

Yes or No?

2011-06-06T08:01:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, do u notice something different on my hair this time? Perhaps, everyone will give that confused look and say a wild 'NO'!

But if you notice that well, I've actually had a hair cut over the weekends at this lousy Extension hair salon in BM. Gawd, fucking angry with the outcome because I almost fell asleep and they charged me with a fucking RM 35 for this stupid hair cut which practically has no changes except that my fringe is back to a lil short and my hair ends are all straight cut.

So seriously, I've start to learn that if you want something good and nice which complements together with a perfect look, opt for a professional please. I'm not trying to say that these people do not know how to cut our hair, but just look at the difference between a professional and his fellow juniors. Then you will know what I mean.

Of course the prices would be slightly higher if you consult a professional, but it will definitely worth your money at the end. Because they're professional, they will know what suitable hair cuts that would actually suit your looks, face and expression.

So you choose, you want a beautiful and good look with a higher price or you want a normal hair cut which has no changes but charge you with a high price as well?

Okay to make it simpler, you wanna be pretty or not, girls? It's a definite YES right?

I've actually learn over the years that no matter how expensive that particular things are, if you feel comfortable and actually looks great on you, go for it. Splurge on it because it is worth it.
You know, how quality does matter and most importantly, the comfort that you're going to have. That makes a difference between the best and the normal.

Right after the hair cut, went for pedicure session at Unique Nail Saloon again. Ting, my favourite manicurist, called and told me that the nail saloon is having a massive promotion in conjunction with their anniversary.

After getting my nails done, I felt a little satisfied and happy :D Tried on a more simple nail art this time and Ting said that my nails looked like presents. LOL.

Do visit there if you're free.

Unique Nail Saloon is located at:

128 Jalan Tembikai,
Taman Mutiara,
14000 BM.

You can also call them for an appointment, 04-5388623.

MNG Style Up Yourself Contest

2011-05-28T08:05:00.000-07:00

Oh well this is a delayed post. In fact, this contest happened like one month ago, I supposed? But, I just wanna blog about it cause I cant find any inspiration!! All seems to be pretty boring lately =(

I love the above outfit a lot :)

Before going further, I actually did not know about this contest...at all. It was during one of those days that I went shopping in Queensbay with Joey that time. I went in to the MNG outlet hoping to get myself a top. But the contest had eventually 'ruined' my shopping! hehe.. kidding.

A girl came up to me and told me briefly about this contest. It's actually very simple. You have to be 18 and above to enter this contest and all you need to do is to simply pick any outfit that you like based on your own creativity in accordance to the selected category. They had four categories like; casual, jeans, office attire and formal wear.

I swear I had a difficult time picking out those clothes. Because I think MNG do not have that much variety. The styles are all pretty blend but I do like some of those outfits. Just like the white top I'm wearing above. AND it fucking cost about 99 bucks if I'm not wrong. Worth it or not, tell me?

Gawd, I looked horrible in those pictures captured cause it was like so sudden and hello, I'm not a born model!

This is the formal dress that I wore. Joey chose for me.

I only managed to dress up in those 3 categories except for the office attire as I was feeling exhausted. Imagine you have to wait for every 3 girls to strike their post and you have to find a nice attire with a killer heels on you. That's just painful. I mean I love those pair of black heels but it was a total killer. My legs hurt a lot!

Me looking tired! Overall, I had some fun and it was quite an experience. Thanks to Joey for accompanying me, btw.

Oh, I also received a 5% voucher upon entering this contest but it was a total waste because I ended up not getting my top after an hour of choosing, posing and shooting!

KL Trip 30/4 -3/5/2011

2011-05-16T20:17:00.000-07:00

It was my second trip to KL this time together with Jenny. Cousin drove us there (Thank you very much!) There were actually 2 more friends who were supposed to follow us but they didn't make it in the end.

I thought I'd squeeze all those 4 days and 3 nights in KL pictures into one post because I did not take much pictures during the trip. It was merely full of crazy shoppings on those four days and it's definitely fantastic!
Oh btw, that'd be my picture of day 1,looking exhausted after a 3 hours journey, a 45 minutes tour on the LRT and an hour wait for Nicole to fetch us to her house!

We went over to The Curve because there's a flea market on Saturdays but it was disappointing because I did not get anything there. What cheer me up later was that, I manage to go to Ikea and got my favourite Singnoalla biscuits. Just gotta love it!

Then, we headed over to Sunway Pyramid as we were starving like mad. Took such a long time to find a car park. Went to Zhia's Kitchen to have our lovely dinner. Dishes served were good and fast.

Clay Pot Japanese tofu is the love :)

Fried Squid with sweet and sour sauce. I thought it was way too sour.

Fried Onion egg. Eggs are always perfect for every meal.

Sambal kankung is no good. The taste is just blend.

I couldn't complain more as I'm too hungry already. hehe

On day two, all of us woke up pretty early just to... COOK! Plan to save money cause we don't wanna spent that much on on food. We rather spend it on our shopping.

I can be a good housewife now. Lol. Erm, well not entirely because I only cooked the soup.

The best cook and very suitable soon-to-be housewife shall goes to Jenny. She fried those eggs and veggies.

Fried cabbage. All her ideas. Tell me how awesome she is.

Getting prepared and all done like about an hour. You know how girls love to dress up? The second day's journey was to Bukit Bintang.

Super love these aviators although I'm working hard to get myself a Ray Ban.

Shop like a mad person especially in Sungei Wang because the things are like super cheap. And manage to buy a top from Zara. Scroll down to have a glimpse on that top later ;)

My back bone and legs ache like hell. Was in pain and mood totally changed later because of the traffic and weather. Managed to reach home only at 9pm. What a tiring day, I suppose.

Third day was left to do our last shopping (well no actually). Only me and Jenny as Nicole had to study. So off we went to Sunway Pyramid after lunch in Face to Face Noodle House.

We walked for many hours but managed to buy only a few stuff. Legs and back bone are aching again. Couldn't stand so I pulled Jenny to My Honeymoon for some dessert.

Ordered the Mango Magic if I'm not wrong. Super love the tang yuan inside the dessert. Definitely coming back for more.

Finally on the last day, it's time to pack cause we're going back to our home sweet home. I'm looking tired.

I was lamenting to my friends that I did not even catch a glimpse on these Twin Towers during my trip here. But I manage to at last because the cousin tricked me into following him to Pavilion again. I thought he will drive us to Pavilion but we ended up going there by LRT and monorail. Imagine me and Jenny had to take an almost 45 minutes train from Kelana Jaya station to Taman Melati station and then had to take another fucking 20 minutes ride back to Dang Wangi. This is just terrible.

The bulk of clothes from Kl :)

My favourite top from ZARA! love it.

The trip was a fun and enjoyable one. Definitely coming back fir more together with the babes. I'm starting to miss KL's pan mee already.(Ignore me please!)

Have a wonderful time everyone :)

Pointless

2011-04-25T05:55:00.000-07:00

Everything that is happening in my life right now doesn't seemed to look in pace. It's like everything is not going on smoothly at all and I sometimes wonder what do I really want? Why do I set such a big goal in my life, knowing the truth that I had the least opportunity in reality?

It's true that people always tend to say that we need objectives in our life. But how do you exactly feel when your hopes and dreams are crush? It's like the whole world is dropping towards you. You feel that as if everyone is against you. It's a real torture at times, when you realised that you just have to go with the plans that are set clearly for you, not that you can even have a say on something that is very important to you.

I've realised that throughout this few months, it's been 'hell' sometimes, but there were of course some good and bad times. I've came to learn about the true meaning of caring for people's feeling, (well not entirely but I've learned some part of it with a conclusion at hands). So everyone out there can be very cruel to you. Everybody has their own agenda. If you mess up with the wrong person, then it's the end. If you behave good and treats that particular person well, you'd have gain benefits for yourself, but still it's not as simple as it's seen. Everything happens for a reason and all I could say is, we need to be cautious everytime because even the person who is nearest to you may just spoil and mess you life just like that.

Learning to give and take will be a great achievement. I've succeeded in doing that. But I know all the angers, sorrows and sadness will still beheld on us. If you choose to hate that person for your entire life, it's the anger that burns your life so tightly. But think once again, does it worth to plant that self hatred in yourself? What's the point actually?

I've always said this to myself for numerous time, that is to take things one step at a time and see how it goes before further action is taken. Still, I faced difficulties and frustration each time when things failed terribly. It's a major blow in my life when failure kept occurring and you feel like a dumbass.

You will feel as if no one can guide you to overcome your problems but keep that in mind that everything happens for a reason, that's for sure. It's your decision whether you want to live a life full of hatred or happiness. It's your decision whether you want to live your life with respect and self forgiving. You have to make the right choice because life has to continue even when the whole world is falling down!

Thai food = HEAVEN!

2011-04-13T06:34:00.000-07:00

You know how much I love Thai food because it's just awesome! I was practically craving for it long long time ago in one of my favourite restaurant, Khun Tai. Can you imagine my happiness when the babe Nicole was back and I could gather with my cousin and Jenny for a Thai meal? It's rare for me to indulge in Thai food as my parents seldom want to have it.

It's a must to order seafood Tom Yam. Who would not, tell me?

Deep fried fish with spicy sauce. The sauce is simply HOT!! Couldn't resist it when I know the fact that I cant take so much of spicy stuff.

Spot the 'lala'. It's also a must to order it when you eat there. And it cost us around 12 bucks.Damn cheap right?

So right after the meal, cam whore for a while but it fails terribly. Because I did not put on make up.

After our meals. Finished all those dishes with nothing left, very clean indeed! We finished our whole bottle of drinks together with the ice. TOO SPICY!!

Me, Jenny & Nicole. It's been a while since we last met. Please ignore my fucking big face. =(

The whole meal cost us about 105.79 only. It's worth, seriously. Will definitely come back for more. Btw, I actually did not capture another 2 sets of dishes, cause I'm starving like mad. I had a great time with all of them that day. Went to Auto City to chill after dinner, and we saw some pretty lame stuff. Laugh like crazy. lol (inside joke!). And overnight in Nicole's house with plenty of girl talk to end my day with a :)

Burlesque

2011-03-19T05:11:00.000-07:00

It was a movie day with the friends; Shuwirda, Thipa & Sin Wei. Fetched them to Sunway to watch Burlesque. I like that movie cause I just cant get my eyes off Cam Gigandet. He's like so cute.

Before movie, we went to Winter Warmers to chill. Sin Wei and me shared chicken sandwich together while Thipa and Shu shared vegetarian pasta. My first time trying vegetarian pasta cause I usually wont order something that has got to do with veggie. I liked it though except for those broccoli.

Our chicken sandwich tastes better.

So right after movie, headed to Jusco to get our Bliss yogurt drink cause it's Jusco Card Day. Special deals.

Thipa & me

Me & Sin Wei

And lastly me & Shuwirda.

Had a great movie and outing that day.

1st Avenue

2011-03-12T04:32:00.000-08:00

It was my first time there to this new mall in Penang. Went there with aunt and the family. It was way back after Chinese New Year last month. You know how bored it could be to go to a mall after New Year and you cant purchase anything except for a pair of shoes?
And sadly, Cotton On did not open it's store yet when I was there but Coach was already on the move, inviting shoppers like mad craze to get a hands on those beautiful bags.

Me and my cousin, Ivy outside Sasa. I like the newly opened Sasa store in 1st Avenue.
Was accompanying aunt to get the Marc Jacobs perfume I had at home. She's been addicted to it since I gave her the sample of the fragrance.

Saw a magnificent and energetic team of drummers. They're so cool. There's only one girl among the many male drummers there.

I super love the mall's new transparent glass lift. You can have a whole view of the other side of Penang.

Picture taken from the zoomed in mode.

That's all for this short post. Have a great weekend :)

What does happiness means?

2011-02-24T23:22:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the very late updates.

Well I wanna talk about something random on this post. The question that we're always frequent by, happiness. I stumbled upon this question one day when a closed friend of mine asked me if I'm happy the other day. My first thought upon hearing what she asked me was blank. My mind went blank for a second, before I replied her no.

That question had contemplated me to think of my life and to think of happiness that comes to me. I've been like a dead girl, feeling lifeless everyday. I'm fed up of those quarrels between me and my mom. So much so that I sometimes wondered why my life is so meaningless at times.

So what does happiness really mean to all of you? How do you signify if happiness is within yourself? Is it so when ;

1) you're being loved and you loved someone
2) when you get the things that you really wanted so much
3 your parents smiled and listened to you everyday
4) your boyfriend surprised you or
5) world peace?

Perhaps you may have plenty of reasons to support your evidence of happiness. But I realised that all I ever wanted is to be able to achieve what matters to me most. I have goals in my life that I wanted to achieve so badly. I yearn for good opportunity and that's how happiness comes to my life if I've had my goals achieved.

I want some changes in life which I could reflect how productive my day and life has been. Being 18 is so tough actually at the moment. I got to deal with so many internal issues I'm currently facing. I should have treat those issues positively but it's harder than you've imagined. How I wished I could just be a baby forever. LOL.

I cant seemed to feel the joy of happiness but have you?

Happy Chinese New Year 2011

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

Hello all, I would like to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year before it's too late. May the Year of Rabbit brings everyone good health and prosperity in 2011.

I hope that this year will be as great and merrier as the year before. Hope that this CNY will go on smoothly, no problems for me anymore. I would just love to enjoy myself as much as possible and I pray that everyone does :)

Have a wonderful day ahead people. Once again, Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Imma ♥ the mirror...

2011-01-29T06:39:00.001-08:00

This post was an outing weeks ago with the dearest babe Nicole to Gurney then to Queensbay.It was a rather boring day hence we decided to do our shopping together to kill our boredom!

Firstly, lunch in Dragon-i, Gurney.We're both craving for Kim Gary but somehow we just ended up here. I suppose it was me who is starting to love Chinese food more and more.

Fried pork with Shichuan style spicy noodles. I don't like the noodles but the pork was delicious.

After just 2 hours of walking, we felt bored already so we headed on to Queens for Chatime. It was my first time trying though. Heard that this drink was rather popular in KL.

Then, hang in at Nichii & Kitschen for clothes. Love this floral dress because it made me looked fairer :)

Plain make up for the day. I love how brown liners give wonders to your eyes.

Super love this skirt from Kitschen. Got it already. whee~

Bah...both of us. We're not wearing the same skirt okay?

Love this bow strip two tone dress. Haven't got it anyway ;(

I remembered the both of us trying to dare ourselves watching horror movie. So we chose Paranormal Activity 2 and heck,it was not fun at all. Not scary. I don't enjoy it seriously and some movie goers that day were like showing their 'wtf' face after it ended.

Went over to J.co for yogurt again. heh =)

Bye, have a pleasant day ahead everyone :)

2011-01-26T23:14:00.000-08:00

Just a short post here as I'm bored to death. I hate that I'm bored all the time and feeling lonely.
Oh well, I pretty much spend my time going here and there with my aunt but not friends. I've done shopping for this CNY clothes already except for earrings and 1 more sandals, please.. Then I'll be satisfied. I'm not feeling rather excited for this coming new year. Just no feelings lah, very numb! I'm so lifeless!

Till then, I'll have a more proper update maybe this coming weekends.

Have a great day everyone, don't be like me! ;)

Happy New Year 2011

2011-01-08T09:12:00.001-08:00

It's the time of the year again(hello 2011) where we welcome the new year and say bye to the last day of 2010.

New year eve would always be packed with people from all over to witness a coming new year for all. And so places that were popular will be full of people adding with exciting events, mini concerts, fireworks and many more to list.

New year eve this year was great. Not that happening as like last year but my cousins were all with me this time and not to forget,the babe Nicole :)

First, we came over to the island at about 8 something and headed right to Northam Beach for our dinner. Sorry no pictures were taken for the food as I was very hungry. hehe

Right after dinner, I took them to Straits Quay for a short visit but we did not stay longer there.

Nicole, me, my aunt, and my cousin;Katherine.

Me & Nicole

My aunt & my uncle

The kids.

My small lil cousin was craving for doughnuts after he saw them.

Soon the five of us, me, Nicole, Wilson, Katherine & Daniel hopped on to Upper Penang Road for countdown and it was not that overwhelming for me. Surprisingly, I enjoyed last year's event in UPR more than this year :(

The 3 of us while waiting for the cousins to arrive about half an hour later.

I fucking made a mistake by bringing them here to UPR. Should have gone to Mansion 69.Sorry cousins!!

Voodoo for the night but plan failed. Mois was fucking crowded. wth

Katherine, Nicole, me and Wilson.

We did nothing much. had our chat time, gossiping, drinking, laughing and some crazy but valuable tips on drinking alcohol.

I love Margarita:)

I absolutely love Kilkenny :)Thanks for the recommendation Katherine.

His Kilkenny, cheers!

My expression of "I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED LONG ISLAND INSTEAD OF MARGARITA BUT NEVERMIND I STILL LOVE MARGARITA WITH MANGO HENCE I ORDERED IT!" hahahaha

chit chat all the way to 3pm

The crowd. Some were like super hyper, super drunk and all of them looked scary to me. fml

I was not drunk surprisingly but the babe was. LOL.

love this picture =D

We reached home at about 4am. Was so tired but overall I do enjoyed myself.

Happy New Year everyone if it's not too late. Anyway, sorry for the delays once again!

10 things about how I lived my everyday til present

2010-12-27T07:32:00.000-08:00

HELLO,I'm here again.

Well, it seems like December is going to end with just a blink of an eye. 2011 is coming and basically for me it's not going to be an easy year. I pray hard that everything goes on smoothly. Everyone is happy and I'll stay happy as well.

As for this year's christmas, I had the most wonderful time spending with all my gurl friends. We did the countdown on our own, we had beers and cocktails, we had delicious noodles, and we also had sprite drink with mint. It's a creation of Lynn's mom. The whole sprite thing with mint was simply awesome. My first time, though. Thanks auty =)

Not to forget also, we exchanged presents. It was a sudden rush for me to get all those presents. And I had my Marc Jacob perfume. whee~ It's a good timing you know, since I want to get a perfume for myself. Thanks to all of them.I totally love each and everyone of you.

No pictures will be posted up because we want to have all those pictures kept in a scrapbook and most of all we wanna keep it private cause it's our most valauble memories.

On the other hand, there are 10 other things that you simply need to know how I lived my everyday :-

1) I've been spending a lot and I fucking go broke everytime I went out.
2) I went out almost everyday.
3) I lost weight already. It's a good sign, but I still wanna lose more. And I watched The Biggest Loser a lot, (I swear) to get some inspiration. I know,you'll defintely show me the'wtf' face.
4) I've been addicted to salmon fish. Be it in raw or anything, I just love to have them.
5) I either get too excited/happy/angry/worried/confused/tired/sad/lifeless everyday. In short my mood swings just like in today's case, I'm half happy/tired/sad/worried. It is just a mixture of my feelings. Shit.
6) I tried not to eat meat, chicken and pork or whatever shit of fattening stuff. Sometimes it is successful but sometimes not!
7) I've learned not to treat people that good anymore.I've got my lessons because sometimes the best person you have beside you will always dissapoint you at the end.
8) I tried to watch the Oprah Winfrey show everyday and I almost cried. See how inspiring is that or am I just being so dramatic. I bet no.
9) I've registered for college :)
10) I wanna save money but it fails terribly. Too much temptation. Fuck this feeling.

I lived not a meaningful life everyday. I wasted my everyday's time.I'm such a failure and I worried a lot.

p/s: 9 more days to be 18!

Straits Quay

2010-12-25T07:59:00.001-08:00

It was last Sunday that I decided to visit the newly anticipated and much talk about Straits Quay with Nicole. I was 'wow-ing' all the way upon reaching there. No doubt, E&O properties are that valuable.

Not much shops are open yet. But the whole environment and atmosphere along Straits Quay was a breathtaking one. I absolutely love it!

Candyland! You want?

Nicole & I

Big Christmas tree + small me

She loves doughnuts. Apparently, there were lots of visitors that day. Everyone was seen taking pictures with many colourful assorted candies, waffles, lollipops and others.

I do love upside down ice cream ;)

lollipops lover #1

us :)

Taking pictures with the Christmas tree is a must. After all it's Christmas season.

mirror,mirror on the wall...

We felt hungry after a while and because there were many good restaurants attracting us. We had trouble choosing it at first.

But at last we settled in for Blue Reef Fish & Chips.

The menu.

Wide variety to choose on.Prices are affordable as well. So no worries =)

The restaurants ambiance was calm and nice. it makes you feel like you're some sort dining in a marine together with fishes. Imagine if Nemo was there.haha

Iced Peach tea for both of us.

Smoked salmon! I love it!

Calamari and chips. Thank god we shared. Because it was too big.

Also saw an Irish pub and restaurant. Penang seldom have an Irish restaurant. So it was a good set up.

Gigantic Christmas tree.

The moving piano. I was amazed by this, seriously.

Lastly, hope all of you had a wonderful and joyous Christmas. Christmas will definitely be my favourite season of all time. Merry Christmas and may God bless everyone =D

The moment I dyed my hair

2010-12-25T07:42:00.001-08:00

Hello.I'm back for real. Sorry for the delays.
Anyway, I'm gonna start with me dying my hair (finally!) 2 weeks ago. That Thursday started of with a rush. Went over to Inti College to enquire about the Pre-U course. Nicole, Janet & Karen were with me that day :)

So this is a picture of me in case you forget ;)

Flats for the day.Me and Nicole were pretty bored that time. So we took a whole load of pictures but it sucks.

I felt bored waiting for Karen and Janet already.

At about noon, we headed back to the mainland and went to Kulim to dye our hair.

And the outcome was satisfactory, I suppose.

Chestnut brown for the start.

I love this!

Freedom for life!

2010-12-09T21:23:00.000-08:00

I'm free forever. Gonna do what I love best. Can't wait :)

Wait for me, I'm gonna update my blog already!

Study Mode...

2010-11-06T08:20:00.000-07:00

Study mode is currently ON. It will never stop until the 8th of December. The big war is just 17 days away. Fuck this moment. Fuck this 23rd of November.

I hate exams. Especially this major exam, which will determine your future and everything. I'm not fully, as to say 100% well prepared mentally and physically for this exam. It's torturing by the millions tons of readings and revise that I need to go through.

I'm worried, I'm nervous, I'm afraid, I feel panic, I feel like jumping off from my house right now and die!Oh God, after hearing some scary news from the teachers, I think exams are half your luck and half of the knowledge that you're equipped with. It pretty much depends on our luck. Lady luck, please stay by my side for those freaking 9 days. Please....

On a lighter note, I'd love to say that I'll be on a mini hiatus until 8th of December. I will be that good and nerdy girl who wants to study non stop until she feels like vomiting.

So, this will perhaps be my last posting until we meet again.

Do miss me because you know I'll miss you too :)

Buh-bye~

The New Chick in Town, yo!

2010-11-04T09:24:00.000-07:00

The new chick is not a lady nor a guy. But it's the craze of the moment. Yeah, I bet people around the world love this!

Presenting the iphone 4, which sadly (I REPEAT SADLY) is not mine but the friend's one, Miss Nicole :) gosh why are you so lucky everytime? I'm so fucking jealous of your phone!

I thought it was a mad rush to get this phone. I thought people would run in and grab the phone fast. But it turned out to be normal. People queuing up as usual to get a hand at this 'chick'.

Of course I'm damn lucky to try out this phone. Discovered the functions and helped the friend with mails, Internet settings and so on. I sound like a pro. hahaha

Not gonna talk much about the pros and cons. I don't think I looked pretty much like a technology savvy person, so not much comments but much loves to this phone =)

*******

Well as for in the afternoon, I went over to hair saloon to straighten my hair. Owh I felt like a normal lively person (at least) after I got my hair straighten.

Took only 3 hours plus to get my hair done. Thanks to Esther.

And there you go #2

#3 Ignore me. I know I looked terrible. But just to show a glimpse of my new hair style ;)

Nights everyone.

p/s : A big shout out of HAPPY DEEPAVALI to all my Indian friends who are celebrating.

Uplands International School

2010-10-23T07:08:00.000-07:00

First of all, I had a whole new experience visiting a prestigous international school in Penang today. It's non other than Uplands International School right here in Batu Feringgi. One word to describe this school : IMPRESSIVE! I swore if I got the chance to study there, it will definitely be great because it is simply awesome!

Stupid me, I forgot to bring my camera along. Hence, this explain why no pictures are uploaded(again) for this blog post. But you can log in to http://www.uplands.org/ for more info alright? The best is you can pay a visit to the school itself :)

I had a wonderful chat with John Cadman, the school's Assistant Principal. It was nice of him to share some details regarding the A-Level programme and the International Baccalaureate programmes offered here in Uplands.

So basically, what I like about international school is that their education system is the best (to me). Students are trained to be an all rounder, meaning that students are excellent not only in academic wise and their co-curicular activities, but students are taught to think analytically, solving problems, being well aware of everything and more importantly, they are able to share and voice out their views and ideas perfectly.

Western education do really reflects on the maturity of a person. This is why I truly admire the standard and conduction of western educations.

Boy, I swore I had the most difficult exams in my life today. I've tried on the A-Level's scholarship which we were required to sit for the Math and English papers. By doing these papers, I knew at once that we're just left behind very far. We're not as competant as them judging by how tough the paper was. And you really had to crack your head hard.

I'm saying this in my point of view. I do not mean to belittle or criticize our Malaysian's education system. But I yearn for an education that has an all rounder.

Short short short!

2010-10-16T06:25:00.000-07:00

Well, just a short post here. This had been one month back and I officially cut my hair short. Not entirely on my fault. Blame it on the hairstylist. I've told him the supposing length but the outcome was SHORT! Damn short!

I was not used to it at first. My hair is getting worse if I did not straighten or curl it. very bad comments from friends regarding my hair. Some say I looked particularly mature.

All and all, one conclusion, I'm not too satisfied or very satisfied with my hair at the moment. I still miss my long hair though :(

Sick

2010-10-02T01:06:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of updates. I was practically busy for trials. Almost 2 weeks and I'm glad it was finally over. I screwed my trials this time, and I fucking gonna cry because SPM is like 1 month plus away. :(

And right now I feel like a dead person. I have no energy but I'm still saving a little just to update here. I've been sick since Tuesday,struggling all my way to complete Biology and Physics paper done. And force myself awake at 3.30am everyday just to study. I knew it was stupid, it was not helpful but a little determination in me kept me refreshed because I don't wanna give up even till the very last minute.

I felt sick at the wrong time. real wrong timing. But I think the consequences that befell on me was partly my fault. Medicines just did a little job, cooling off the heat, but the horrible part was I felt lifeless! No energy and I looked like a dead person. There's nothing much I could do. I've put down weights over the last one week. I just wanna faint or collapse suddenly and then call 999 to fetch me to hospital. Then I'll stay there for a night and come home the next day feeling like a normal person again. Can I?

Taylor Swift - Innocent

2010-09-17T21:07:00.000-07:00

Now, who is on team Taylor and Kanye West?

After Kanye West surprisingly amused everyone by ruining Taylor's acceptance speech at last year's VMA, this year was undoubtedly Taylor who sprung a surprise by singing a song on West.It was not meant to criticised West but I'm truly impressed with Taylor for bringing such a good song. If it was me, I'd definitely plotted some explosive revenge long long time ago.

p/s : I'm on team Taylor Swift.

p.p/s: I just hate it when I cant watch the full episode of VMA. What's wrong with the copyright issue?

Selamat Hari Raya

2010-09-12T19:56:00.000-07:00

I know this is like super late. It had been 2 days after raya. lol. But I just wanna blog about it. I intend to blog as much as I can. Hopefully. See, I'm so good! hahaha

So it was on the first day of Raya, and you know me, being the most "awesome" bff, I accompanied Miss Nicole to her friend's house which she do not even know him. I repeat she do not even know him. Like how he looked like and the place he stayed.

Hence, being the GPS, I thought I was smart enough to guide her all the way through his house. But it ended up we almost reached the airport. How awesome was that? It's fucking crazy I tell you. I hate Bayan Lepas road alot.

Blur picture of us.

It was his birthday. A belated birthday. And the cake is cute isn't it?

nice? We felt bored after that and started camwhoring.

take 2

take 3

took a picture before going back :)

he live in this fucking big, huge , and ohh-lala house. 3 storeys bungalow?

our tired looking face. still managed to study Chemistry though. *clapss hand*

I drove home from Penang. I finally drove on Penang Bridge and highway already. I'm so proud of myslef. LOL

2010-09-07T07:40:00.000-07:00

It was suppose to be a photoshoot event in our school which involved around the whole form 5 students but the whole of 5 Kurshiah were more excited to take pictures among ourselves with friends. After all, it's the last year, remember?

In the line up towards the Merdeka celebration, our school had organized a mini decoration contest where we're given the task to sort of beautify our class with Merdeka's decorative items, I suppose? hehehe

Some of my classmates did an amazing job to set up everything including the kolam (but not me)lol. Thanks to their hard work, I bet 5K can win again this time!

The banner in front of our class. See the picture and spot me! fucking ugly.. arggh!

Okay, are you amazed by this? My friends did it on their own.

1 Malaysia theme.

Huge 1 Malaysia. I think our prime minister will be happy with this. What's so great about 1 Malaysia other than unity?

That's crazy, I tell you. Love having fun ;)

Thipa & Su Szien

Nicole & me. I'm ugly,ugly,ugly!!

Thipa & me

Spot this. I don't know who brought it but it's totally cute. And btw, our class door was decorated with CNY items. My math teacher thought it was like CNY time. haha

Some of us together with the jovial English teacher of ours, Pn Haryaty.

This will remain an everlasting memory in my life. A memory that you once held upon and shall never forget but cherish.

I kept telling my friends that it's too fast. I mean time is running. It's less than 2 months away for our exams and after that some of us might be heading to our own path and then it's already the future that you have to face. " Time flies", I am scared of this word. Really.

Kimberly Street koay chiap

2010-09-03T09:13:00.000-07:00

Have I told you that Kimberly Streets serves the best ever koay chiap I had ever taste in Penang and possibly the whole Malaysia? Owh, no doubt that Penang is well known as the food of haven and penangites, who would resist a hot bowl of koay chiap to please your taste buds?

So, it was a coincidental that I went there with the other day. Mom was planning to have koay chiap in BM town( another nice one, but I love Kimberly's Street the most). Thanks to the traffic jam right there in BM town, I suggested why not we have our koay chiap at Kimberly's Street. I had been craving for it like ages! Well, imagine the wide smile on my face of having that bowl of koay chiap? I sound so greedy, man! hahahaha

If you do not know what koay chiap is all about, here is it ;

"Koay chiap is flat sheets of rice noodle served in an appetizing soup which is flavoured with herbs, spices and soy sauce served together with different parts of duck and pork. The noodle or koay itself is semi translucency and is slightly thicker than the koay teow and usually cut into rectangular pieces"

The surroundings at Kimberly Street.

The koay chiap is operated in the pre war shop houses and this street is famous for its delicious food among people here and tourists as well. It serves all kind of food but the famous one will be this koay chiap, the koay teow soup and the 'tong sui'.

The seller preparing the koay chiap for us customers.

The famous noodle soup store is here. sorry, picture kinda blur.

Nah, there you go. This bowl of koay chiap is awesome! I usually have my koay chiap only with egg and duck meat.

This koay chiap is also eaten with chili sauce specially prepared by them.

You would not want to miss this as well. It's sweet and tasty, full of warmth.

Last but not least, do visit there if you haven't been there. Just google kaoy chiap and the whole list is all talking about Kimberly Street koay chiap. See how good was this koay chiap. It also comes with an affordable price, between RM 4 to RM5 I guess.

Check out also on the process of making this koay chiap and do log on to http://www.visitpenang.gov.my/portal3/where-to-eat/food-blogger-ck-lam/koay-chiap.html

"I can't think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry",Drew Barrymore.

Yeah that was a quote from Drew Barrymore that I remembered closely when i read upon an article of the United Nations world food programme across the poor countries. I don't know why but it just stumbled upon me that she said no schoolchildren should ever go to school in hunger. That was pretty meaningful at the sight of knowing the meaning of hunger, poverty, and hardships.

Well it was actually on last Friday that my sis wanted to have KFC. And i took her there.While paying for the food, the cashier asked me if I was interested to donate RM 3.oo in conjunction with the world food programme. Without hesitation, I said yes and I received a small notepad with a blue ballpoint pen. Sis thought it was just a waste of money but I think about it in other way.

That was when I realised what Drew Barrymore just said after I looked into the world food programme symbol on the notepad. It's not about charity, but the fact of realising that you have a heart towards the poor and needy, especially those children who were in hunger everyday.

To be able to feel their hardship, hunger, sorrows and every bit of their struggles will be unbearable. I'm sure everyone would break down in tears if we really feel for them.

I'm not here to show that I'm too over dramatic. But just a thought that I'd like to know, how many of us here truly understands those children? What have we done all this while?

We're blessed to be living in such a wonderful place but yet we're not contented of what we had. I'm saying this in a point that I'm one of those shitty,not thankful of what I had, being silly.

Hence, I'd love to say that KFC is doing great in supporting this world food programme. It's only RM 3.00 if you're willing to do your bid in helping those children. With each of us doing a little help, we can make a big difference and no children will go to school in hunger.

Do visit http://www.wfp.org/ for more info.

Oh, this post should be a long way back outing, whereby it was a short outing and met up with the 'long lost' friend of ours, Janet :)

It's been long since we've hang out together as everyone is starting ahead and going on with their life and future. She's currently in college so the time we get to meet up with each other is getting lesser and lesser. And that means we already missed lots of gossips together! arrgh...memories again.

Me & Janet. Ignore me as I looked casual on that day. no make up :(

Me & Nicole. She drove me to gurney all the way to get my bag. aww, thanks babe ;)

It was a Wednesday on the day of outing. We decided to watch movie but it was such a long queue. I could not stand lining up so long and hence we went over to Chilis to have our lunch.

I did not capture much picture that day. but I love this, though it was not me who ordered it.
I'm sure everyone has been there, and I love it!

2010-08-22T05:55:00.000-07:00

Hey, sorry for not updating recently. As usual I was kinda busy. I spent my last weekend at grandma's place, taking care of her.

I want to blog and I got the details and everything. Stupid camera went crazy for a while. And so I cant charge it, and hence I cant upload those pictures, and post it. wtf. Why you go dead at this moment when I am willing to spent at least 30 minutes to update my blog?

Anyway, I shall blog it by next week. I promise.

As for life, everything has been going on smoothly, except that work is piling up. More strenuous energy is needed. I just felt tired of everything. Not that I'm wanting to give up (no,not that easy) but the fact is that I need to still keep going. Stronger than ever whatever it's happening, be it in studies, family, relationships and so on.

I just need some strength.

Clinique Star Tour 2010

2010-08-08T01:40:00.000-07:00

It was Clinique Star Tour event held in partnership with CLEO magazine last Sunday at Gurney Plaza.I've been planning to go there even before exams starts. So, I called along Nicole there with me. Su Szien tagged along with us as well ;)

the booth.

Just wanna have fun cause it's been 3 years since I joined a roadshow like this. The previous one was by Dior when they launched their Diorshow Iconic Mascara.

People queuing up for their turns. My make up consultant for the day was Kerrie. It was nice but I felt the make up was to thick. I looked fairer with the multiple lining of foundation and my eyes looked smaller with the lesser eyeliner on my eyes. hmm..

My outfit of the day!
We're late for movies. only managed to watch an hour show! tsk

Nicole. I prefer her make up. and her hair.

Do I look older? yesh! confirm. *sad case*

I got home at around 9 something and was really tired. legs were all in pain.

my tired looking face!

till then, goodbye!

Back again :)

2010-07-30T21:32:00.000-07:00

Oh, well I'm back to the blogosphere again after almost 3 months of hiatus. Or maybe more than 3 months, perhaps? The good thing is I'm back here for good.I've got my own domain so i've decided to start blogging again.

It feels great to be back, on how much I'd love to spend my time to blog (if possible, I'll try my really best to blog every single day, or weeks or whatever time I have with me)I can't find any nice edited pictures of myself, and hence i upload this picture of mine (same as my fb picture). haha, in case you forgot who I'm at the moment.

Blog will be under 'renovation' for a while, before I could further update. I'm still trying to find a web designer. Who can help?

Till then, goodbye.
