Lantern Party

2011-10-30T20:12:00.012+08:00

(Back dated post)

Who says only small kids can play lantern? Who? Who? Who?

No rule stating that rite?

Who cares if there's any rule bout that. The most important thing is we have fun playing lantern rite?

So this year, my friends and I had lantern party during the mid-autumn festival.

I'm lucky to be back in Melaka just in time to join them for this.

As usual, there's always food when there's gathering. Another potluck session. ^^

For this time round, thanks to Kim and her parents for sponsoring venue and providing additional food for our gathering.

Our food for the night. ^^

First things first... makan time...

Nyum.... nyum.... nyum..

Meng & Ashok enjoying themselves at the corner.

After our makan-makan session.. time to have fun!!!!

Lee Hoon fixing the candle to a lantern.

Hanging lanterns.

So bersemangat hanging laterns.

Colourful lanterns 1....

Colourful lanterns 2...

Colourful lanterns 3...

Front view.

After some time, the lantern party turned into candle party. Since there's so many candles available, we started lighting up the candles.

Entah apa Vsia tgh fikir/mengelamun.

Reminiscing old memories maybe?

Colourful candles.

"Love" shaped formation.

We dedicated this to "somebody"... hahaha...

Do you know the critical moment when the candle in the lantern is at its last few seconds before going off? Yes.. the critical moment which determines whether your lantern (paper lantern) will survive or get burn.

We were excited and cheering for every lantern that get burned. Almost all of us were hoping that the lanterns won't survive the critical moment. Feels weird right?

The reason is... it seems that every lantern that get burned (by itself, not involving any act of burning or attempting to burn the lantern), symbolizes good luck. Not sure how true is it..

Can anyone verify this?

We really had fun that night. I wonder whether we can do this again next year.

So gang, amacam next year? :P

Another picture to end this post.

Paddington House of Pancakes (PHOP)

2011-08-13T23:40:00.008+08:00

I've always wanted to try Paddington House of Pancakes (PHOP).

Finally, I came across a good deal in one of the "discount voucher website".

Apa lagi... straight away I bought the vouchers and drag Sherryn with me.. muahahahaha....

Paddington House of Pancakes ^^

Our voucher entitled us to 1 dessert pancake and 1 ice lemon tea per person.

Although the pancakes suppose to be dessert, but we took that as the main course.. Quite filling actually.

We are given 3 choices to choose from....

1. Swedish pancakes with bananas, coconut, peanut butter, ice cream and whipped cream.

2. Dutch pancake with apple fritters, strawberries and ice cream.

3. forgotten the name.. maybe because the combination not attractive enough.. LOL..

Sherryn chose the Dutch pancake.

Sherryn's Dutch pancake.

Dutch pancake close up.

Personally, i dun really like dutch pancake.. the apple taste kinda weird to me..

maybe because it's too ripe or the combination with the sauce makes it taste weird.

Next is mine.. i chose the Swedish pancake.

My Swedish pancake. ^^

At first I doubt that my pancake will be nice because of the combination...

banana and coconut... how can that taste nice right?

But I'm surprise the whole combination actually turned up nice..

As I type this.. i can recall the texture and taste..

the warm slightly crunchy pancake combine with cold ice cream which melts in the mouth,

and the taste.. the not too sweet syrup with a thin layer of peanut butter, sprinkled with a little of icing sugar and slight aroma of cinnamon...

*Aaahhh ~~~ Heavenly~~~*

Swedish Pancake close up.

(See the ice cream melts..... MmmmMmm..)

And finally, the ice lemon tea.. nothing special bout that..

juz that it's bit too sour for me..

that's what the lemon are for right? sour ~~~

My sour Ice Lemon tea.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the food and service here.

Gotta come back again some other day to try other stuffs here..

Most of them look appetizing.

Anyone wanna join me? ^^

Update

2011-07-12T11:14:00.004+08:00

Hey, it's been such a long time since my last post..
I'm so sorry for nt updating my blog.
Life had been busy for me.
Classes, Exams, preparation for my Internship & etc.

A little update..

Currently I'm doing my internship in one of the audit firm in Petaling Jaya.
How's my internship life so far?
Honestly, I really like my internship life..
Haha.. probably some of you might think that I'm crazy to love my internship especially during peak period.

Well.. for me it is a good change of environment. Take a break from study, study, study and experience the working life. Off course my life is not as hectic as the permanent staff here (maybe that's why I like my internship... still can consider as my honeymoon period.. hahaha), but i really learnt lots of things here.

Everyone here is so kind, helpful and friendly. I'm so thankful that all my seniors so far are very very very helpful, patient and willing to teach me alot of stuffs. Really gonna miss them when I'm back in campus.

I have another one and a half month more to go.. Basically, it is off- peak period now. So, everyone is kinda relax a bit after going through the stressful peak period. Oh, you all sure don't want to see how they went through the peak period.. Pity them..

I think i will end my internship here with a more relax (tooo relax for me now... T.T) environment. Good thing or not? Anyway, my supervisor coming to visit soon. Got to prepare the documents required.

See you all in the next post..

Genting Trip 5/10-6/10

2010-10-07T11:15:00.013+08:00

Just came back yesterday from Genting 2Days 1Night Trip with my friends.
Had so much fun although the thick mist & rain prevented us from spending much time at the outdoor theme park.
As the result, we ate more than playing at the theme park.
Gosh!! I've gained weight just for 1 night stay. O.O
Thanks to Sherryn's dad for treating us with all the scrumptious food from the time we arrived in Genting till we were back in Melaka.

We stayed at Resort World Genting's Deluxe room.
Nice room decor, really gave us the "homely" atmosphere.
Clean room & bathroom, comfortable beds & sofas, huge TV, 2 way wardrobe & other basic amenities.

Resorts World Hotels's room rates.

Oh ya, did i mention that we got the room for FREE!!!?
Sherryn's dad got the room for free.
Free room = more money to spend & save.
Muahahaha. ^^

Look at Yee Lin & Sher Ling's happy faces. hahaha.

Bathroom's huge mirror.

Spent the first day in the Indoor Theme Park & roaming & shopping in First World Plaza.
The best part to go Genting during normal working days is that the waiting time for each ride is shorter and if you are lucky enough, none.
I just realized that I didn't snap much pictures in both of the theme parks.
Busy enjoying myself. LOL.

On the 2nd day we manage to play almost all rides that we wanted before it rained heavily.

Look at that thick mist coming.

Oh ya, we went into the casino. I'm now officially eligible to enter casino.
Muahahaha...
So what do we do in the casino?
If you think the answer is " Gamble la... what else..",
then you are wrong ...
our main reason there is to eat. Yes.. u get me right. EAT!!
Sherryn's dad gave us his free coupon for chicken chop.
I never knew that casino has delicious food.
(I'm not saying it's delicious because it is free, but seriously delicious)
Besides chicken chop, we were allowed to help ourselves with the free flow of drinks, cream of chicken soup & salad buffet.

Salad

Creamy & flavourful cream of chicken soup.

Yummy chicken chop.

One last view of Genting's outdoor theme park before we went home.

My 21st Birthday Celebration (Part 1) 13/6/2010

2010-06-20T16:14:00.020+08:00

Weehoo!! I've turn 21. hahaha.. more mature nw perhaps? :P
If you are wondering how's my birthday celebration, I'll tell you 1 word..
AWESOME!!!!
Well, at least for me la.
I can't ask anything more than having good time with my family & friends for my birthday celebrations ( Yeah, celebration'S'. I had 2 separate parties for family & friends).

I planned to have both family & friends in a single party, but due to certain circumstances, got to forget bout it.
A small celebration itself was almost impossible in the beginning due to "some reasons", but suddenly few days before my birthday weekend (my actual birthday is on 16/6), I got the news that it is confirmed that there's gonna be a celebration. Imagine all the work that need to be done in a short period of time. *Phewww*

Oh, did i mention that it took place at my grandparents' place?
2 main reasons:
1) My house is too small to accommodate so many people.

2) It's durian season, where else can we get to taste good durians besides from our own trees rite? haha.

It's durian season people... :D

I went back 2 days earlier to help with the preparation.
Few family members and relatives came back on the eve to help with the ingredient preparation.
And at night, everyone slept late. Nt because of busy preparing the cooking ingredients, but chatting. haha.. Normal case when relatives gather together, lots of laughter. ^^

Having 'round table meeting' :P

I woke up at 5 am in the morning with intention to help with the cooking. I thought I woke up quite early, but once i entered the kitchen, to my surprise, the ladies (grandma, mum & aunts) already started cooking. Lolz. I wonder what time they all woke up.. 4 am? or did they actually sleep that night? haha.

We prepare all the food on our own, except for the satay and nyonya kuih; pulut tekan & kuih ku (not enough time to make lo) . The head chefs for the day are my grandma & youngest aunt.
They even setup 2 cooking stations.

My youngest aunt cooking at cooking station 1. ^^

My grandma in action at cooking station 2. ^^

And few hours later, we had 2 tables covered with food.
Menu of the day:
chicken curry, nasi lemak, fried noodles, fried yee mee, mix vege, ikan bakar (grilled fish, fried assam prawns, sambal nanas, chicken cocktails, nuggets, drummets, lemang... ( can't remember what we had some more).
not to forget the telur merah (hard-boiled egg coated with red colouring on it's shell) , a must have at every chinese birthday celebration. And for my 21st birthday, 21 telur merah in total ^^

Food on table 1.

Food on table 2.

Full view.

Other relatives started coming by 11 am. Lunch started around 12 pm.

Makan-makan 1.

Makan-makan 2.

Makan-makan 2.

Then, it was cake cutting time. haha..
My cake was sponsored by my cousin sister. *Thanks jie jie*
If you ask why my cake is not in the shape of a key, my answer is..
I don't want "key" shape cake. hahaha.
Nobody say 21st birthday cake MUST be in key shape right?

Yummy Strawberry cake.

Blowing candles.

Cutting cake accompanied by 2 'heroes' .

Cutting cake for relatives.

Around 3.30 pm, most of my relatives started going back (afraid that they might be stuck in traffic jam). Clearing time~~~

Clear.. clear.. clear..

I really had a great time.
Really appreciate all of them for coming all the way (some from KL) just to attend.
Not to forget everyone who contributed their help throughout the celebration, thank you so much ^^

P/s : The second part of the celebration will be in my next post. ^^

Happy Chinese New Year

2010-02-12T13:15:00.004+08:00

I'm going back to my hometown in a short while.
But before I go, I want to wish all my family, friends & blog reader who happens to drop by my blog...

Scenery-Kuala Sungai Baru

2010-02-01T11:47:00.002+08:00

A very short post.

Took these photos a month ago in Kuala Sungai Baru (somewhere near my grandparents' place).

Try to witness sunset, but can't really see it.

Anyway, I enjoyed the sea breeze & watching few people fishing there.

Random

2010-01-24T01:54:00.002+08:00

Wow, quite some time I did not blog already.

This will be my first post for this year.

Nothing to blog actually. I must find something to post ASAP.

I've been financially ill now. New semester just started.

I need to buy so many things, but no $$. -.-"

Saving money now.

Need to buy books, time to change my glasses, my handphone battery is giving me problem (time to change new battery) & the list can go on and on.

Guess I need to loan from my mum and pay her back after I get my "ang pow" money.

Chinese New Year will be in few weeks time. I haven't finish my spring cleaning.

Gotta get that done ASAP.

"Christmas Party" & Twins

2009-12-27T15:57:00.013+08:00

At last, I'm back updating my blog.
I've been busy with my final exam, which just ended last Wednesday.

Hopefully I get a good result, although i feel that it is impossible.

Just pray for the best.

Anyway, Christmas day was a great and tiring day.

While all the others are busy celebrating Christmas (we are Buddhists), my family members were busy having our own "Christmas Party".
As usual, everyone has been eating throughout the day.

The preparation of ingredients itself started a day before.

I felt so lucky because I had the chance to witness (not the whole process) the traditional way of making "otak-otak".

"Otak" means "brain" in English, but we don't address them as "brains".

What is it actually? Please click here.

My aunt's maid grinding otak-otak ingredients using the traditional method.

The happiest people on earth will be the kids.

Play & laugh the whole day.

Some of the kids having their lunch.

We had chicken rice and Nasi Lemak for lunch.

My aunt & mama wrapping nasi lemak using banana leaf.

Nasi lemak for sale!! RM0.50 per packet. hehe.

And...

For dinner, we had BBQ chicken, grilled fish, otak-otak, coleslaw, fried noodles, pudding & more.

Can't remember what we had. too many food already (sorry, didn't manage to snap photos of the food, too busy).

Getting ready for BBQ.

DIY BBQ pit.

My cousin enjoying his BBQ chicken wing.

By the end of the day, everyone was so tired & went to bed early.

I should snap a picture to show you all how we arrange everyone to sleep that night. It's like a refugee camp. haha.

Oh ya, we had a good news the next morning.

My uncle's dog gave birth 2 puppies.

We suspected that the dog had delivered on Christmas day, but had fallen into a hole under the dog's cage.

Luckily my uncle found the puppies.

A black & brown puppies.

"Ang Pow" from http://chrisblitz.blogspot.com

2009-12-11T22:55:00.006+08:00

No, it's not Chinese New Year yet.

It's not my birthday either.

Then how come I received an "ang pow" (red packet) all of a sudden?

Well, I won the competition organized by Chris Lim few months back and received my prize yesterday.

The grand prize suppose to be RM50 handphone top-up credit,

but since I'm a postpaid user, i got CASH instead.

I didn't expect to win at all.

Anyway,

Thanks Chris. ^^

Tortura 2-Medival Instrument of Punishment Exhibition

2009-11-29T22:34:00.020+08:00

Public and private universities are on holidays now.

My friends are all back here in hometown.

While everyone is enjoying the holidays, I'm busy with all the assignments, midterms, quizzes & final exam which is just 2 weeks from now.

I just can't figure it out why MMU holidays are always different from other universities.

It's difficult to arrange time to hangout and catch up with my friends, especially during the busy short sem.

Anyway, we still manage to find some time to hangout.

Had a great time with them for the pass few days. Time really flies whenever we are together.

Ok..ok.. enough, let's move on to the main topic.

Last Wednesday, Lee Hoon, Siew See & me went shopping after my dental appointment.

Before we begin our so call "shopping spree" (can't forget what happen that day, only 3 of us know what happen.. hehe), i suggested that we visit the exhibition on

Medieval Instruments of Punishment (Tortura 2) in Bastion House.

As stated by the name, it shows the instruments used to punish people.

What I can say here is, most of the punishments are really CRUEL!!

Although the punishments were meant for people convicted with various crimes, but it is still so cruel.

Here are some pictures of the instruments.

These are low quality pictures taken using my handphone.

The Inquisitional Chair.
A wooden seat covered with spikes with belts to tie victim down so that he becomes incapable of escape with the spikes piercing his flesh.

The Guillotine.

I'm sure most of us seen this instrument before in movies.

This instrument is use to behead unfortunates as far back as the 14th century.

The Roman Guillotine.

This is the forebear of guillotine. Blunt edge of wood is used instead of sharp blade to cut off the convicts head, which rips the flesh and the vertebrae.

Disembowelment.
Victim's belly was slit, a part of the intestine was hooked and attached to the rope, and the rest of the intestine were slowly rolled out. The victim usually lives through the whole process.
see the picture below..

Next....

Branding Irons.

Used for marking some convicts, usually on the shoulder blade, but often on the cheek or forehead. His or her crime was specified by a code of letters or symbols known to everyone in the land. see below...

Code of letters.

T=Thief, R=Raper ...etc..

Head Crusher.

The victim's chin is placed on the lower bar and the cap was forced down by the screw.

the teeth would be the first to be crushed into its sockets, thus smashing the surrounding bone.
Nowadays, it is use for the purpose interrogation. the cap and chin rest are padded with soft material to leave no mark on the victim.

The last few instruments below are called Branks.

Many branks had iron mouth pieces that permanently mutilated the tongue with sharp spikes and blades.

the victims, locked inti these masks, were staked out into the town square and treated roughly by the crowed.

Gamma year Sem 2 2009/2010

2009-11-03T17:22:00.003+08:00

It's already in the 2nd week of semester 2.

Short semester with the total of 8 weeks of study only.

I don't really like short semester coz everything is so rushing, especially the dateline for assignments, and the lecture & tutorial classes per week are doubled.

Although I'm taking 3 subjects only this semester. But... It's all reading subjects.

Theories... theories... & more theories.. @.@

Don't know how I'm going to store all the info in my brain.

I prefer counting subjects actually.

Subjects for this Semester:

BAC2654 Public Sector Accounting

BMK2614 Principles of Marketing

BOB2614 Organisational Behaviour

That's for now. Notes are "waiting" for me. ^^

Cooking session with friends

2009-10-28T19:03:00.010+08:00

My friends & I had planned this cooking activity for so long, but only today we manage to make our plan work. Everyone had been very busy with their personal activities until TODAY, we manage to find some time to fit our cooking activity in our "busy" schedule.

I woke up early to prepare my coleslaw (just a simple dish).

Steam the corn, clean & shred the cabbage and carrot.

Done with my task, I'm off to Yee Lin's house.

Shredded cabbage.

Reach Yee Lin's place around 10.30 am with Sherryn.

Here is where all the real cooking starts.

All the ingredients had been prepared in advance, so we don't need much time to prepare the food.

Everything goes smoothly.

Lingli & Sherling help Yee Lin & Jasmine with the cooking, while I am busy helping Sherryn with her Tangy Smoothie.

Lingli (left) & Yee Lin with the spaghetti.

Jasmine frying pork chop.

We manage to complete all the cooking in 1 & 1/2 hours.

That's the benefit when we have lots of manpower.. erm.. i mean girlpower.. hehe..

Anyway, thanks to Yee Lin's maid for doing all the cleaning, less work for us already. *wink..wink*

Here's the outcome:

Yee Lin's delicious spaghetti.

2.

Jasmine's tasty & tender Pork Chop.

(Sorry to the Muslim, it's non-halal)

3.

My colourful coleslaw.

.
Time to enjoy our Lunch. Lingli calls this as "fine dining".

Table layout.

Oh wait, not to forget our Tangy Smoothie after lunch.

Sherryn's refreshing Tangy Smoothie.

After lunch, we proceed with the karaoke session.

We had so much fun & laughter today, especially the chaos when 6 girls are cooking in the kitchen.
Hopefully this will not be our last time cooking together.

Looking forward for more cooking session with other varieties of food.

Deepavali

2009-10-18T23:15:00.002+08:00

A short post for this one.

Went Deepavali visiting yesterday.

Most of my friends can't make it for this year visiting.

Started with Shaline's house around 1 pm.

I was served with typical Indian food;

tosai, idli, vege, chicken curry, mutton & few more dishes.

After that, my bro & I went all the way to Jasin to visit Pav & Mathan.

Convoyed with Mathan & his friends there.

Their mum served us with ayam masak merah, rendang ayam, mixed vege and mutton kurma.

Something different from the typical Indian food.

This the uniqueness of living in Malaysia, we can serve any kind of food during the festive season (or all year round),

even my family serve lemang & rendang (food that are normally served during Hari Raya) for Chinese New Year.

Went dinner at Kuhan's house with Shaline.

We had Nasi Beriyani and other few dishes.

Met Mr. Ronald & family there. Had a nice chat with them.

Time fly really fast whenever we are having fun.

Oh ya, no picture for this post to prevent you people from drooling in front of your screen.

Broken glasses

2009-10-04T22:41:00.004+08:00

My dad, uncle, bro & I were on our way back from my grandparents place this evening, when my mum suddenly phoned and inform us that someone had broke our window when she reached home. My mum did not follow us back coz she was working this morning. The first thing that came across my mind was "Die!! People wanted to break-in into our house!"

I did not know how bad was the damaged or which window was broken.

I let my mind wandered and try to figure out which window was it, but my guess will be one of my kitchen windows (1 facing the back lane and another 1 facing the side of my house).

Once I reached home, I looked at the front windows. All the window glasses are there in their places.

Then, sure confirm my kitchen window already.

Kitchen window facing the side of my house.

When I saw the broken glasses, I was like...

"Okay... Luckily only a small hole."

Found a stone in the kitchen, should be the stone that cause my window glasses broke.

Stone.

Luckily my uncle has extra window glasses and gave it to us. If not, another extra work to go and find any shop that still open till that time.

2 assumptions on the incident:

1st : Kids playing at the back lane and accidentally broke the window. (I heard kids' voices playing at the back lane few days back)

2nd : Someone purposely broke the window to peep what's inside my house. Survey to break-in my house.

I really hope that my 1st assumption in the real reason.

Final exam + eating

2009-09-22T12:35:00.006+08:00

Final exam is here again. Don't know why I feel that this semester pass really fast. Suddenly realize that my final exam starting this coming Tuesday. O.O

While others are busy studying for final, I'm busy eating.

I've been spending my time eating MORE than the time to study. =.="

Not that I'm busy visiting my Muslims' friends Hari Raya open house, but I've been busy with my own family and relatives gathering.

Three days of non-stop eating. Started with my granduncle's birthday dinner last Saturday.

It's a 10 course dinner i think (normally is 8 course dinner right?).

The kids are the most happy ones, meet their cousins all about the same age, play & laugh like there's no tomorrow. The adults are busy stuffing their mouth with the food & "updating themselves with the latest family news". hehe..

The next day, lunch at my grandaunt's house.

Another whole round of eating, talking & laughing.

Super tired by the time I reached home.

Then, yesterday, continue eating activities at my grandparents place.

My aunties,uncles & cousins are already there by the time I'm there.

I don't know we actually eat for brunch (yea, i reached my grandparents place almost noon), lunch, tea or dinner.

One thing for sure is we've been eating non-stop throughout the day.

Too busy eating to snap the pictures. there are only two pictures that i managed to take.

Aunt making curry puff.

The kids enjoying themselves.

Okay, it's time for me to quarantine myself to study.

Sakura House

2009-09-12T19:46:00.025+08:00

Craving for Japanese food?

Want something delicious, cheap & different from the ordinary Sushi King or other japanese restaurant?

The answer is Sakura House.

This is actually a single storey terrace house in Duyong, which is converted into a restaurant (restaurant sounds big for me).

Look out for these lanterns & banners outside of the house.

Address & phone number.

It's advisable to call & make reservation in advance in order to make sure you'll have a place to sit. This place usually a full house during its operating hours.

You can also order your food in advance to save the waiting time.

Look at Sherryn & Jasmine's happy faces. Hehe :P

In few minutes time...

All food gone. haha..

All cleared in few minutes.

Oh before I forget, to show how much we were happy with the food, we made a "special" gift to the owner.

Hehe..

I'll definitely want to go there again. Anybody wants to join me?

Family Heritage

2009-09-09T22:16:00.009+08:00

Went dinner at Family Heritage yesterday with Sherryn, Yee Lin & Cherylyn.

Decided to eat western food. Unfortunately, bad choice.. Should ate their eastern food instead (although not that nice.. but still ok la). The western food was like... Ewww..!! still can imagine the weird smell while i'm typing this.. *Yuckssss*

Yee Lin's Cordon Bleu.

(Don't be fooled by their nice presentation, not that nice, but still acceptable)

Sherryn's Black Pepper Chicken Chop.
(Well.. if you look properly, you can see the meat covered with the super dark black pepper sauce)
"Tasteless" according to Sherryn.
.
.
.
.
.

Then, here comes the worst food ever.

Spaghetti Al Presto Calamari.
(Swt.. name so glamour.. but the taste... *Yucks*)

I've really had a bad feeling once my food was served. The smell was soooo strong. I can even smell it although I'm having a block nose..

The only edible food for that nite were the....

Cinnamon Buns

( The 1st item was serve to us.

well... we were too hungry and only remembered to snap photos halfway eating)

Mushroom Soup

And

Cherylyn's Brownie.

My first and last having western food in Family Heritage. *Vomit*

7th month prayers & Short trip - Port Dickson

2009-08-31T14:40:00.008+08:00

Just came back from my grandparents place for the Chinese 7th month's prayers.

The prayer was held on Saturday morning till late noon (no pictures bout that bcoz i was busy back then).

After the prayers, my dad, lil' cousin & I went for a short trip to Port Dickson.

(Port Dickson is quite near to my grandparents place, bout 30-45 minutes drive from my grandparents place).

Not many people there though coz it is during puasa month. Next time if want to come for holiday, must come during this time. No need to rebut place with other people. Can take as much place as you want. Haha.

See, not many people around.

Lil' cousin enjoying his ice-cream.

My dad & little cousin.

JJ outing

2009-08-10T11:03:00.011+08:00

Hanged out with my friends last Friday in JJ. Although it's just a small group, but we had so much fun.Yeah.. we really know how to enjoy ourselves, despite having H1N1 cases on the rise in Melaka. This explains why there's not many people in JJ, all scared kena jangkit.

Back to the story, we went for lunch in Secret Recipe. Makan & chit chat for almost 3 hours.

From right: me, Pav,Vriesia,Kim & Chee Han

("the only guy there, but somehow he just fits in like the girls"-quoted by Vriesia).

Moving to the next session, we went to the JJ Amusement Park (Is that what we call it?).

I shall say the place where you discover & polish your hidden talents. Don't believe?
Scroll down..

Give few examples..

Good drummers.

Great air hockey players.

Promising Jockey.

(Pav is SOOO gonna kill me. haha)

Talented Rock Stars.

(They really have the style don't they?)

OR...

the place where people still wants to be kids regardless their actual age.. =.="

Such as...

Acting cute?
.

AND

Imagining yourselves as "Ultragirls" & Monster.

Kim & Me: FIRE!! FIRE!!

Pav: ARRGHHH!!

(Don't know why I'm doing this.. Haha)

Rachel 21st Bday, Assignment & Food

2009-08-08T00:46:00.010+08:00

Attended Rachel's 21st birthday on 25th of July.

We went to her house quite early, around 6 pm.

Quite early for a birthday party to start right? Well, what to do... since we have another important matter to settle later that night - watch dance performance for our National Dance assignment.

Thanks Rachel, for the warm hospitality & great varieties of food. :D

From left: Rachel, Yee Lin, Ee Lin, Sherryn & Jasmine.

Everyone.

Around 8 pm, we left Rachel's house & convoyed to Mydin MITC to watch the dance performances by the Briged Seni Melaka dancers.
While we were waiting for the performance to start, saw few Mydin employees loading lots of stuffs into a HUGE trolley next to the stage.
When I say HUGE, I really mean it.

Malaysia's Book of Record had certified it as The Largest Shopping Cart in Malaysia.

Largest Shopping Cart in Malaysia.

Back to the dance, the whole performance took about 40-45 minutes.

There were 11 types of ethnic dances that night.

(There comes my assignment, 11 types of dances. Fuh! =.=")

Briged Seni Melaka Dancers.

The dancers sure felt as though they were pop stars that night, with so many people capturing photos & recording videos for the sake of assignment. haha.

All students kiasu getting materials for assignment.

This is just few of them.

Didn't manage to snap more photos coz busy concentrating on the stage.

After the show, all of us went to eat fish head beehoon (name only fish head, but actually it is fish fillets) for supper. The soup is tasty. I wonder whether the sweetness of the soup comes from the fish or lots of MSG. The fish fillets are crunchy & not too dry. Worth every sen of my money. haha.

Fish fillet bee hoon.

Interview

2009-08-06T16:39:00.002+08:00

Went to interview a company for one of my assignment (not gonna mention which company).

Hmm... what can i say, the moment 6 of us enter the office, they was like unprepared to to meet with us. Although we sent the approval letter earlier.

Anyway, the whole interview went on quite well. It's just that I'm not really satisfied with the answers given by the person in charge. Buat penat only I asked long questions, the person in charge reply me with 1 word for each question, either YUP, NO or DEPENDS. Most of the answers are depends with brief explanation.

See... now I have the difficulty on doing my assignment. No need say do, start also don't know how to start. Waaa!!!

After the interview, we asked permission to see their training room since they said they had 1 upstairs. The person in charge agreed and brought us there.

The moment we saw the training room, we was like.. O.O

STUNNED!!!

We expected to see any high-tech equipments that they use to train their staffs. But..

What we saw was 2 tables & chairs, besides a pool table outside the room (for the purpose of employees' recreational).

I will laugh everytime i think of that incident. haha. Funny duh seeing our facial expression.

Expectation too high already.

According to the person in charge, the equipment will only be brought to the room during training sessions.

At last, in order to get more materials for assignment, we asked permission to visit their shop & snaps some pictures there.

Anyway, I grade the overall interview as Satisfactory.

It does help us for our assignment although not as good as I expected.

Thanks to the company. :)

Rambutan Season

2009-08-05T22:43:00.010+08:00

I supposed to blog about this last month but because of my "tight" schedule (*ahem* wah.. wah.. sounds as if I'm doing big business like that.. so busy.. haha) this post & next few posts will be the updates of what I've been doing for the past 1 month.

Rambutan season is here again. As usual, went back grandparents place to join the crowd enjoying the fruit.

The easiest way to get lots of Rambutan at the same time is to chop down the branch. And Tadaa!!!

You'll have lots of rambutans in front of your eyes.

Rambutan... Rambutan.. Rambutan..

Sounds easy right? But actually NOT.

Firstly, you'll need the experts to plan the strategy to make sure that the branch will fall at the right place & most important won't hempap anyone. (*lame*)

Secondly, get to work. (*So lame*)

See my uncle, so bersemangat. Got sprained ankle can climb some more.

Next, my favorite part, burn the weaver ants' (kerengga) nest. this is when you can see all the soldiers (kerengga) come out & attack you in order to protect their nest & their lives. But too bad, all hangus rentung in just few seconds.
Anyone wants to eat rambutan bakar?

Finally, can take your time to pluck the rambutan.

Mama & aunt at work.

A video just for fun. haha.

Update..

2009-07-27T09:17:00.002+08:00

Kuih Apam Balik.

Hope

2009-06-10T14:14:00.003+08:00

It's been a winding journey & sleepless nights,

to make matter worse,

It's been MORE sleepless nights since I heard about it,

My chest feels so tight till I can't barely breathe,

My heart hurts so much, feels like vomiting out blood.

My heart keeps beating faster & faster every second,

although I don't even think about it.

It's happening again,

Yes, this is not my 1st

but, it's sure among something to be remember off.

Waiting is really a painful process.

Experience taught me not to put high expectation,

I keep imagining for the worse,

hoping that I can be strong if it's the reality.

But deep down inside my heart,

there's still a tiny glim of hope,

hoping for the best.

Oh god, please ease my pain,

It really really hurt so much.

Will I get what I wish for?

Will I get my happiness like everybody else?

Please make me strong enough to face the final answer.

But I know,

whatever will happen, life still goes on.

=.=

More fruits? food?

2009-06-10T12:31:00.011+08:00

It's durian season again.. wahaha.. Nothing can be compared enjoying fruits from our own trees and share them with other relatives. I've grown up together with the durian trees, and trust me, it's hard to find any durian that taste better than the REAL Durian Kampung.

Look at that yellow & thick flesh.. *glurp*

Ok, i'm done with snapping photos . Time to enjoy my durian..

To cool down our body from the heat, enjoy the original sweetness of coconut water.
*Aaahhhh.... refreshing.* ^^

Coconut, fresh from the tree.. hehe..

Then suddenly my "Ah Kong" (grandpa) came out from the orchard & handed me a mango. I was like... WAH!!! O.O
You all must be thinking what sooo "WAH!!" about mango until u see this...

This mango is huge!!

Don't believe?

See.. It's even bigger than my size 6 slipper.

Ok enough with the fruits, my mama made Kuih Bingka Ubi (2 trays some more.. pengsan eating non-stop). Made from tapioca (of course), flour and gula melaka.

Kuih Bingka Ubi

Itu pun belum add in what we had for lunch & dinner. So many dishes.. Adoi..

"Almost" all my favorite. Hmm.. where to start?

Ahh.. i know.. start from this.. hehe..

Sweet & Sour Crab with cili padi.

Oh! forgot to mention we had Green Bean soup for dessert.

Whole day busy eating.. *faint*

Melaka Tour (Part 2)

2009-06-09T16:24:00.020+08:00

Our 2nd day (1 June) Melaka Tour starts after lunch around 2 pm, this time with smaller group since some of them can't make it. 1st destination for the day...

Dreambox KTV.

Peace..

Sing..sing.. sing.. ~Lalala~

Spend about 4 hours singing.. erm.. or izit shouting? :P

Left Dreambox early hoping that we are able to see sunset from Eye On Malaysia (EOM).

But too bad.. don't say sunset, sun also tak nampak... =.="

Welcome to EOM.

EOM here we come.

The name EOM is not as grand as it "suppose" to be. Waste money only come EOM. Nothing interesting to see. It makes about 5 rounds and what can we see is this....

Ok la still acceptable. Although nothing to see.

This...

What so nice about those kontena & buildings' rooftop?

And this...

WOW!! What a "nice" view... =.="

Oh!! did I mention that there's some squeaky sound when it moves?! Dunno how long this "thing" can last. hehe..
I'm already bored when it made the 1st round..

To entertain ourselves, here's what we do..

Bluekk..

Monkey-ing around? :P

Some picture sessions before we left.

Luckily the lamppost tak tercabut.. LOL..

snap.. snap..

Although nothing to see from top, it is has beautiful view at night. At least there's something nice to see..

EOM at night.

So, my advice to you people, come at night just to enjoy the view from ground. It's free after all.. LOL.. XD.

You're welcome & stop begging people to come again.

Dinner time.. >>> Amigos

Look here..

The photographers.

We end our Melaka Tour by cruising along Melaka River. It's quite happening along the river since there's "Pesta Sungai Melaka" that time. It's so much better than EOM, except the smell. @.@..

Melaka River Cruise.

Melaka River Cruise models... XD

That's the end of our Melaka Tour. Looking forward for our next outing..

Sweet memories everyone.. *wink*

Melaka Tour (Part 1)

2009-06-08T12:13:00.030+08:00

At last... I manage to blog about the Melaka Tour. I've been busy gathering & grabbing pictures from the others. haha.. I'm too lazy to snap pictures juz snap few pictures only. Plus, there's so many amateur & efficient photographers around, it's better for me to get all photos from them. hehe.. Thanks to all the photographers (Lee Hoon, Chris, Sherryn, Pav & Mathan, Chee Han, Kuhan & anybody else who i take & grab pictures from). The problem here is, I'm spoilt with varieties of beautiful pictures (1000++ pictures for the whole tour!!!) till I dunno which one to put it here. Really pening @.@.. If ikut hati I wanna post all the pictures here.

Back to the story, our 1st day of Melaka Tour (30th May) suppose to meet in front of Stadhuys at 8.30 am, but at last we convoy to town about 1 hour later (i guess..). Oh ya, thanks to Yoke Meng & Lee hoon our planners & tour guide..

Not gonna blog much.. too lazy to write ( dunno what I rajin.. =.=").. let u all see pictures oni la.
After all, a picture is worth than thousand words. See all the smile & laughter, I know that everyone had a good time. XD

Weehooo... Let's start our tour..

Say cheese.. girls..

Our tour guide.

Meng: Read on your own..

First stop, Stadhuys...

Pose guys..

Next stop, A Famosa Fort.

On the way up..

Hey people.. walk faster..

Nice shot.

I love this pic.

No comment..

Muzium TLDM.

Shaline: Sherryn, lepasla i want this thing.

Sherryn: Nope, I want it too.

Can't remember why we had a good laugh.

~LOVE~

Me & Lee Hoon.

Muzium Pendidikan.

Enjoying free air-cond.. haha..

Lepak at 1 of the cafe ( can't remember wat's the name) while waiting for satay celup shop to open..

Refreshing.. after walking whole day under hot sun..

Satay celup for dinner..

Keep laughing till kenyang edy.. no need eat also nvm.. =.="

After dinner, went to 1 of the most happening place in melaka on weekends.. Jonker Street..

Suddenly remember, Sherryn & me keep convincing "people" to buy nice stuff, but sendiri x nak beli.. hehe.. Hey, but at least they like the stuff... rite? rite? rite?

At 1 of the cafe in Jonker before end our Day 1.

Went back terus pancit edy, can't move..

After whole day, realize that this is our only group picture.. Sad case...

Sweet memories.

IRC & Go Kart

2009-06-04T01:01:00.017+08:00

After my last paper ( Macroeconomics) on the 28th of May, I went to IRC (BB Bazaar) to have lunch with my close friends. 2 objectives for this gathering; 1) spend time with Vriesia since she can't join us for our Melaka Tour ; 2) Finalize our Melaka Tour itineraries.

One thing that i realize when I'm at IRC is that, most of the local workers there have been replaced with foreign workers (Bangladeshis i think). Had some communication problem with one of the waiter who took our orders. I'm not sure whether he is local or foreigner, coz he looks like local to me. Communicate with him in English, but looks as if he dun understand. So, i converse in BM, still he look so blur.. duh.. =.=".. At last, just show him what I want. Dunno why la IRC hire him as waiter..

That's not the only problem with IRC, the food quality is deteriorating too. I ordered "Thai sauce chicken chop rice "(some sort like that la the name) & "iced jasmine tea". OMG!! the rice they serve together with the kerak, while the chicken is tasteless & not properly cook. The jasmine tea has a weird taste... at least for me.. Haiz..

"Thai sauce chicken chop rice".

Although it looks presentable, but don't be fooled by its' look.

The weird taste iced jasmine tea. It looks weird too..

After that awful lunch, we start to finalize our itineraries while waiting for Pav & Mathan to arrive, before heading to Ayer Keroh for go-kart.

See the tea still there, don't dare to drink it.
Chris, wat r u doing there? hehe..

TADAA!! Actually I don't even know there's a go-kart track in Ayer Keroh till Vriesia told me. LOL.

Go-Kart

Everyone was soo excited to be on track.

The guys getting ready for the race in round 1.

The girls getting ready for Round 2.

Girls & guys ready for race in Round 3.

These are some snapshots throughout the whole race.

Chris (left) & Tristen.

Vriesia (front) & me.

Go..Go..Go..

Oops... minor accident over there..

For the album...

The Guys.

The Girls.

Exam is over... for now..

2009-05-31T09:08:00.004+08:00

At last!!! exam finish edy for now. Hopefully, *pray* I can pass the papers, especially all my killer subjects. haiz..

Entering Gamma year (2nd year Degree) in 2 weeks time.. More & more heavy subjects coming..

Don't want to think about that for now. Having so much fun this few days..

Hehehe..

Where Am I?

2009-05-13T20:52:00.002+08:00

Final exam is just 4 days from now. 4 days!!! not 4 months.. or 4 weeks. I'm sure everyone is busy studying, revising or doing past year papers. But where am I? still stuck in the same subject. I'm moving really slow, slower than the snail. Haiz.. It's like others are reaching their destination & I'm just coming out from my house to start my journey.

What happen to me?!! I wonder.. I know the papers are not going to be easy, but... I just can't feel the tension or pressure.. I'm still in the super relaxing mood, doing nonsense.. I just feel demotivated to study... Izit because I'm too tension without realizing it myself till I dunno what to do & make me trap in this situation? I feel guilty to myself for being in this situation. Looking at my bro studying makes my feeling worse. But... it's just I can't make all the things i study stuck in my brain!!

Can I make it for the final? What ever it is, I still have to make it possible. huhu.. sad..

COME ON GAL!!! WAKE UP!! NO MORE PLAYING A FOOL!!

IT'S FINAL EXAM!!!

Wesak

2009-05-09T15:36:00.005+08:00

Join the Wesak Day procession yesterday night. This is the 1st year i join the procession. Ha.. At last i manage to join the procession. I've always wanted to join the procession since my schooling days, but because of tuition and other stuffs, so I terpaksa lupakan eh.. should say tangguhkan my niat.

The 2 1/2 hours walk started from Seck Kia Eenh temple in Gajah Berang to clock tower to Jalan Hang Jebat and back to the temple. Took that opportunity to stroll around Melaka at night.

Saw several beautiful floats but at the end oni realize i didn't snap any pics. So, juz b4 i went back, i snap these pictures. (Sorry, low quality photos).

Happy Wesak Day!!

What to cook?

2009-05-04T16:38:00.008+08:00

Wake up early this morning and feels like cooking since i have no class today. Walk straight to the refrigerator. [Open the top door (freezer)]. Wah!! Good! there's fish & chicken.

(Open the lower compartment, search here & there). Found peria (bitter gourd). Great!!

I'm gonna cook "Ayam masak asam peria" & "Sweet sour (Promfret) fish". No vege today coz didn't realize there's cabbage there until i finish cooking.. huhu.. My mum called me mata sepet coz never open my eyes to find properly.. swt... hehe..

So, here's how both dishes turn up at the end..

Ayam masak asam peria

(not enough dried chillies, tat's why the gravy not red enough)

Take note!! more dried chillies next time!!

Next...

Sweet Sour Promfret

I guess both taste ok coz no negative comments received from my food critiques. Positive comments till now.. hehe..

Food Hunt

2009-05-03T17:18:00.004+08:00

Went out with few of my frens that day for food hunt around Bunga Raya area. Not gonna blog the food hunt coz my frens blog bout it edy. Plus, i dun hav the pictures. haha . Saw this beautiful musical fountain during the trip.

For the food hunt story, visit Jasmine's blog. (Jasmine, thanks for the post.. Hehe..)

Make it through..

2009-04-26T14:50:00.005+08:00

At last MUMOS (Multimedia University Movie Society) Night 2009 is over last week (17 April 2009). *Relief* We (high committees) have gone through lots of problems from the beginning. From the committee recruitment till the night itself, there's always problems that pops-up which makes the event almost impossible. however, we still make it through till the end. Although not to the extend of having the "WOW!!" factor, but i would say that I'm satisfied with it. Not going to blog about it in detail. Congratulations to all the committees for their hard work to make this event possible.

After one-by-one problem came up during the day, the presence of these special people really makes my day. (Thanks Lee Hoon for the pics).

Thanks for bringing smile to my day.

Another shot.

And another shot... hehe..

Qing Ming

2009-04-05T23:40:00.022+08:00

Manage to follow my relative for Qing Ming ( also known as "cheng beng") this year. Not many people can make it this year as we went on Friday, so most of them working lo. We went around 4 pm ( I dunno why la they choose that time, it's sooo.. HOT!! OMG). It's not difficult to find my ancestors graves because all my deceased relatives' graves are group together in one area. According to my grandparents, the cemetery land belongs to our ancestors. Almost all the graves belongs either to my relatives or family's friends.

Preparing to pray.

Different generation working together.

Great great grandpa's grave.

Great great grandma's grave. ( Behind the green colour grave)

Great grandpa's grave.

Great grandma's grave.

I really salute my grandparents, granduncles & grandaunties. Despite their age, they are able to bear themselves under the HOT sun to pray their parents & grandparents. I really can't tahan the heat, I can feel that my skin is burning. So every now & then, I lari to get the shade (The price I have to pay for not bringing any cap or umbrella).

Look at them, bersemangat under the hot sun.. shame on me.. :(

The whole process took about 1 1/2-2 hours. Imagine I've been "grilled" under the sun for that period till whole face so red like udang masak. -.-"

Last shot before balik.

The entire process do not stop here. It followed with prayer at home the next day. Sorry no photos for that because I was too busy helping my grandma preparing food for prayers.

It's so much fun to engage in family activities like this once in a while (minus the being "grilled" part). So many stories, so much laughter & as usual, so many FOOD!! ;P.

Cooking freak

2009-03-30T15:51:00.006+08:00

It was 1 week mid term break last week. Dunno why suddenly I became a cooking freak.Kept thinking about what to cook?Maybe because it's been quite some time since I step into the kitchen and get my hands busy into cooking or it is I was too bored & lazy to study. Huhu.

Cooked few dishes & baked a cake.(No worries, my food is safe for consumption. Till now, no one had diarrhea or food poisoning). ;) The taste ok la not bad, not as nice as my mama's cooking. Hmm, had to learn her cooking skill more. Hehe..

Just realized that I took only 1 picture. Haiz.. next time must remember to snap pictures.

"Asam Rebus Fish"

IVAQ 2009

2009-03-21T23:45:00.000+08:00

Attended the Inter Varsity Accounting Quiz (IVAQ) 2009 on 7th March at Seri Negeri. Actually, we didn't want to go, but we were some sort "force" to go because our lecturers adding few bonus marks for our midterm exam to those who attend the event. I can say that majority of the students came just for the marks lo. I don't regret went for the quiz coz looking at how bad i did for my midterm exam :( (juz ended this morning, another paper is after midterm break) , I really hope the bonus marks help me to pass my papers, although its just few marks. *pray*

Back to the story, reached there quite early. I'm not gonna talk much about the event. 1st half of the day is like.. waiting.. opening ceremony..waiting.. lunch... 2nd half of the event, more waiting... quiz began... If talk about the quiz, its beneficial to us. I've learnt few new things. In terms of the event organization, what i can say is need to improve lo. It's kind of kelam-kabut, maybe due to the problems that suddenly popped-up, which then cause the event to be delayed.

IVAQ backdrop.

During the long waiting process, nothing to do, so take picture la. (Credits to Jas for some of the pictures)

Girls in Black.

Look here.. look here..

something is not right in this picture.

Yee Lin's Birthday

2009-02-16T20:00:00.010+08:00

Went Yee Lin's birthday party at her house yesterday. Jasmine, Sherryn & me were the earliest there around 4.00 pm we reached there already. Not because we all so greedy & tak sabar-sabar wanna eat ok.., but just to accompany the birthday girl & share her happiness with her (Awww.. are you touched Yee Lin?).

While waiting for other guests to arrive we make ourselves busy karaoke-ing.Yee Lin & Jasmine are showing their singing skill.

More and more guest started coming around 6 something. Everyone was enjoying their time with the delicious food & karaoke session.

Me & Yee Lin.

After we enjoyed our sumptuous dinner & birthday cake, what else can a bunch of girls do?

Take a look for yourself...

Say cheese...

and more photos..

Proper group photo for the album.

Thanks to Yee Lin & her family for being a great host. Looking forward for your next birthday party next year. Hehe.. :P

Just wanna take this opportunity to wish Yee Lin

"HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY!!"

Beta sem 3 2008/2009

2009-02-11T20:28:00.004+08:00

It's already the 2nd week of the new semester and yet, I still didn't manage to adapt myself into my new schedule 100%. For the passed few days, I had a hard time trying to sleep at night which make me ended up going to class with the half-open eyes everyday and forcing myself to stay awake for the whole day. I just can't figure it out what's the matter. WHY? WHY? WHY?! Is it because I have so many things to do this semester? or I'm giving to much tension to myself to study? huhu..

I'm taking 6 subjects this semester.

BAC1624 : MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING 1.
BAC1634 : FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING & REPORTING 1.
BAC1644 : PRINCIPLES OF FINANCE.
BAE1024 : ADVANCED MANAGEMENT ENGLISH.
BEC1624 : MACROECONOMICS.
LCB1010 : CHINESE FOR BEGINNERS.

Haiz.. Just look at that!! Even want to remember the subjects' codes and titles also so susah.

huhu.. is it because my brain becoming more lembab edy? The absorption rate becoming slower and slower? Aiyo!! Help!!!

Chinese New Year 2009 (part 2)

2009-02-07T00:08:00.009+08:00

Went out with my friends on the 4th & 5th day of CNY. Had a great time with all of them. Let the pictures do all the talking.. (Thanks Lee Hoon for the pictures! :D )

We are not gambling ok.. Playing "BLUR game".

Enjoying ourselves.

Smile..

Another pic.

All girls..

Chinese New Year 2009 (part 1)

2009-02-07T00:01:00.001+08:00

Hopefully it's not too late for me to update about my Chinese New Year (CNY) Celebration. I was quite busy this semester. I have 6 subjects this semester.. *Pheww..* can't imagine how my life gonna be by the end of this semester.

Anyway, back to the story, this year I'm lucky because I got the chance to go back my grandparents place. Usually I'll go back on the eve of CNY. If I'm not mistaken, the last time I had the chance to go back early (grandparents' place) is during my primary school period. *Fuh* lamanye..

Well, I went back early to help my mama (grandma) with the preparation. Here is one tip for you people on how to handle kids + make your work easier. Hehe. If you can't stop them from disturbing you doing work, let them "help" you while you sit back and relax. wahaha..

Me: Cepat lap! Lap sampay berkilat!

"Tengok, gua rajin tak?"

One thing that come across the visitors' minds every time they come to my grandparent's place is of course MANY MANY DELICIOUS FOOD!! All the ingredients for the food are prepared starting as early as 2 days before CNY.. non-stop. And the next thing you know is that all the food habis licin in few hours!!

The kitchen at 4 am 1st day CNY morning. This budak also sibuk wake up so early.

The best "chong po" (cook).. my mama.

Lai! lai! taste my home made longan+lychee jelly.

The kids are usually the most happy ones when it comes to CNY. No need do work and their only work is collecting ang pows. Haiz, miss my younger days when at the end of the 1st day of CNY, my bro, uncle (not married during that time) & me will sit together to count and compare our ang pow collection. Haha..

Happy Chinese New Year!!

What are you doing?

Lee Hoon's birthday

2009-01-16T22:20:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is just 1 week from now. I was busy cleaning the house for the past 5 days but till now still not yet complete. haha.

Today went out with few of my friends to celebrate Lee Hoon's birthday. Just a simple girls outing. Went makan, jalan-jalan & chit chat. Since we had nothing to do, we went to snap photos in Dataran Pahlawan.. haha.. so cekik senang edy. Here are some of the pictures.. (sorry low quality pictures because of the glitter thingy).

The only thing i understand is "DREAM". Haha..

smile..

nice background..

Limited Edition of "LOOK" magazine.

For more pictures, take a look at my friendster.

Happy Birthday Lee Hoon!

Hope you enjoy your day. *wink..wink..*

Enjoying life..

2009-01-10T19:58:00.002+08:00

At last... freedom for 3 weeks. wahaha..
what can be nicer than having holiday for 3 weeks? Although it's holiday, but I still have lots of things to do. 1st thing is cleaning my house. CNY is bout 2 weeks from now. next will be the sponsorship thingy [FBL & Movie club (MUMOS)]. I really need to think how to get money especially for the MUMOS Nite.

I managed to finish my BQT paper although i don't really study for this subject. Can answer all la but whether correct or not, i dunno la. Whether all my answers correct or not is another story because the main thing i managed to finish it. I had a terrible headache + my whole body seram sejuk (with slight fever) the night before & can't concentrate study, so slept quite early. This morning woke up with the "blur" face & felt like i dunno anything about BQT. huhu.. I was really scared.. can feel my heartbeat beating faster every single minute. Luckily i manage to answer all the questions. FUH!!

Now what I need is a deep sleep. Too tired worrying bout exam this few days. erm... zzzzz.....

1 paper done, 1 more to go.

2009-01-08T18:05:00.002+08:00

BMC paper was done yesterday. Kinda relieved (although I'm not 100% satisfied with my answer) because the reading subject is OVER!!. woohoo!!

This saturday will be my last paper BQT. Can't wait for it to be over.. What will happen after that? Prepare for CNY!!! wahahaha!!!

Pre-final Examination Syndrome

2009-01-03T16:08:00.003+08:00

Final examination starting this Wednesday!! Argh!!! First paper is BMC1024 : managerial communication. The subject sounds kinda grand rite? It is quite interesting actually but wait till you need to study for final examination.. You will be crying with this book. huhu..

It is a reading subject and this is when the Pre-final Examination Syndrome attacks me. Wanna know what kind of sickness is this? Have a look...

9.00 am: Open book.. 1st page (with high determination and enthusiasm)

9.02 am : 2nd page...

Half way reading...

yawn...

Ok.. make it through the next page after finish reading the whole page. (read & stare at the same lines for more than 5 minutes but still can't enter into the brain).

9.15 am : 3rd page..

After few minutes...

Sleeeeppp...zzz...

The only time that i can keep reading although I'm very very sleepy is the night before exam. Haiz.. it's like a sleeping potion everytime I open the book. I wonder if anybody else having the same syndrome with me..

How am I gonna go through this? I don't have the answer myself. there's no medicine that can cure this. Huhu.. Just can wish myself Good Luck for the exam.

Welcome 2009!!

2009-01-01T00:15:00.002+08:00

Weehoo!! Welcome 2009!! Looks like another new year is here which means another new beginning. I wonder what is stored for me in year 2009.

Aha!! 1st up is the FINAL EXAM waiting for me on 7th & 10th January. What a "LOVELY" gift to welcome 2009. Next up is Chinese New Year (CNY) on 26th January which makes me excited & worried at the same time. Excited because can't wait to meet my relatives & friends and as a bonus, get "ang pows" (what is CNY without money.. Wahaha). Worried because there's so uch things to do before CNY. what's next i do not know. let's just wait & see.

Whenever a new year comes, people can't run away from talking about new year resolution. It that really matters? If yes, how come there are people who makes the same resolution every year but did not make any effort to make their resolution turn into reality? (erm.. that sounds like me.. hehe).

So this year, these are few things that i want to make it possible:

Be more hardworking.. (jangan malas lagi!!)
Stop procrastinating my work..
Spend less & save more.. (not kedekut!)
Be more patient.. (there's still a limit..ok)
etc..

Hopefully all or "most" of the things i wanted to do can be done by the end of this year.

Goodbye 2008!!

2008-12-31T19:23:00.005+08:00

Here we are again in the last day of the year. After today, we will waive goodbye to the dearest 2008 & welcome 2009 with open arms (whether you like it or not). There were lots of ups & downs throughout this year.

Let's welcome 2009!!

Celebrating Christmas.

2008-12-27T14:02:00.011+08:00

When everyone was busy celebrating Christmas on 25th DEC, i had my own special way to celebrate it although I'm not a Christian la. I spent my time few days at my grandparents' place with my grandparents & cousins. i planned not to go back my grandparents place actually because i was too excited to meet my friends on Christmas day... but, unfortunately.. since my mum was working night shift, my dad + brother still in KL "SHOPPING" for CNY and my aunties & uncles place were full with their children, So i was left no choice but to go back to my grandparents place. Hei! it's not that I'm scared to stay alone at home OK.. It's just that there r lots of break-ins in my housing area these few days and my mum & grandma keep on telling me (a nicer word than "nagged") not to stay at home alone.. At last, being a good and obedient girl, i went home. Missed another chance to meet my friends.. Miss u all so much!! huhu..

Anyway, it's not that bad going back to my hometown, I love my hometown.. :)
Let's see, i spent almost half day at my great grandparents place, chat with my grandaunt, sleep & layan kerenah my 2 cousins.

My great grandparents house.. back THEN..

NOW..

The following day, since there was nothing much to do, my grandma, me & my cousin made kuih cucur (actually we prepared the mixture the night before coz the mixture needs to be leave overnight).

The mixture prepared to be fry in low heat.

Doesn't it look like fried egg?

Nothing special.. wait till you overturn it.. see the next pic...

Nah.. see.. it looks like a hat..

Although it's quite oily, but it's nice.

While waiting for my parents to come back & fetch me home, we sat under the shady rambutan tree.

kampung girls look.

Went back Melaka few hours later. "Somebody" tak puas hati I balik rumah.. wahaha.. guess who.. hehe..

Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-23T22:14:00.020+08:00

Ha... At last i found sometime to blog. Kinda relieve after my group handed in our debate report. Thanks to all my friends who had pour in so much effort to complete the report, especially Jasmine who had done the most work. *applause*. But final exam is really around the corner about 2 weeks from now.Must start study edy oo.. Haiz...

Actually nothing much for me to blog. Just want to upload few pictures about what i have been doing recently before Christmas.

My friends & I after musical play, "The Given Gift". (photo from Jasmine)

Aha!! I almost forgot something. Lingli (girl in orange t-shirt above) gave me this....

My Christmas gift.

Thanks Lingli.

Gingerbread man cookie.

In order to prevent the gingerbread man from running away as in the traditional tales, this is what i did..

"Help!!"

and this continues until this...

"oooppss!"

Since i will not have any access to internet in my grandparents' place from tomorrow, i would like to wish everyone

Merry Christmas!! Have a fun & blessed Christmas!

Love : Elaine.

p/s: I'm so sorry to all my friends because can't join you all for Christmas celebration.

The peak period.

2008-12-19T02:42:00.000+08:00

It's the peak period in trimester 2... very buzy with assignment, report, exams, meetings & etc.. Too many things in my mind. Can't really sleep this few days although i'm tired, dunno why. Maybe coz too hav too many things to do & worry. I can see dark circles forming under my eyes already. I tend to forget lots of things. Haiz... need to get some gingko nut for the brain. Having Quantitative Analysis test on this Saturday. Die lo.. not yet study anything + i dunno how to do the questions in tutorial.. how to do test??!! HOW?!!! HOW?!!! HOW?!!! Huhu... Someone please~ teach me Chapter 8..
Report for Managerial Communication debate have to hand in on monday. Have to finish it right after my test this saturday.

Can't stop thinking my brother enjoying his holiday & doing CNY shopping while i'm stuck here with tonnes of works!! I plan to go KL next week but, looks like can't make it. To my friends out there, if i'm still in Melaka next week, let's go out k? really need to give myself a break.

To all my friends, Good Luck for the coming test!!

Update..

2008-12-11T11:42:00.000+08:00

Nothing much happen these few days. went out with my cousin & kinda sad coz can't join my frens for reunion. Sorry guys, meet u all next time. Yesterday went to watch musical play "The Given Gift" by MMU Christian Society. Lee Hoon & Siew See were there also.

The Given Gift

Juz came back from 2 meetings. aiyo.. tired leh. more meetings means... MORE WORK!! Juz got 1 1/2 pages of companies to call.. Wah!! looks like my phone bill this month is gonna be longer.. huhu.. luckily can claim but... I still have pay 1st though... There goes my budget for CNY shopping.. huhu.

Outing

2008-12-02T18:20:00.000+08:00

Oh no!! Looks like for the past few days i'm having a food fiesta. ARGH!!! Better stop before...(u know what will happen).. haiz. My mama came yesterday. So, after class yesterday, i brought her to visit her great-grandson.. yes, my nephew.

Finger licking good.

My cousin was there during that time & since she had not take her lunch, brought her to Windmill. At first I planned not to eat anything but in the end i ordered a plate of spaghetti. Aiyo!! eat some more..

My cousin enjoying her Gordon Bleu.

This morning, went to Seri Negeri with Yee lin & Jasmine. The clerks there work so.... super.... slowww & kinda rude... OMG!!! They should learn some manners & communication skill. I asked for a "specific form" from a malay clerk but she answered me with that some sort of angry tone.. Hello!! i'm not doin anything wrong!!! I'm not asking Money from you (clerk)!! Oh, maybe she is angry bcoz she has to wake up from her chair & walk for few steps to get the forms for us! After we took the form, hang around to take a look at the form 1st, in case got anything want to ask them. When we wanted to ask them something, no one was at the counter. They can juz ignore us there without asking whether we need help, although they can "SEE" us there. The same thing happen to 2 malay ladies who came in later, but at least they entertain them. ARGH! I saw them busy packing some school bags (should be for the unfortunate children), but there were bout 4-5 people there takkan 1 fella also cannot entertain us. How la wanna improve government agencies' service if their workers are all like this. At last, we just left & went Dataran Pahlawan to buy something.

Before we walk around finding the stuff we wanted, of course we have to let our stomach have what they want since it was noon+ i dun take any breakfast in the morning. So, we went to a Japanese restaurant in Dataran (forgotten wat's the name, but it's opposite Gintell.. i think). Too hungry to snap pics until we finish our lunch.

Hi!! We are Elaine!!

Me & Jas.

We walk around to find the things we need. After tired walking, we went to eat herbal jelly in Melaka Raya. The shop's name is Chuang Chun Herbal Sdn. Bhd. The shop is located just 2 doors before Starbizz (Melaka Raya). It is my first time here. I like the setting & interior design of the shop. There are many few flavors of herbal jelly that you can find here. For a reasonable price, you can get a bowl of this original herbal jelly.

Herbal Jelly Menu.

Let's see whether my food fiesta will stop here or not. I really really need to stop this "mouth exercise" thingy.

Yummy weekend

2008-11-30T18:50:00.000+08:00

Another post about food. Started with saturday evening when suddenly i wanted 2 eat satay celup. So, my mum & I went to Ong Kim Wee for Satay Celup. Reached there around 7 pm & the shop was already packed with people. I considered myself as lucky cos there was only 1 empty table left. Haha.. Perfect!! Quickly got to that table before someone had that seat. Here are some pictures before i started enjoying my food.

All the fried stuffs.

Fishballs, seafood & meat. (raw stuffs except the quail's eggs).

All the stuffs were dipped & left in the boiling gravy for it to cook.

After few minutes, all the stuffs were entering my stomach 1-by-1. Muah! DELICIOUS!! Love the nice aroma & thickness taste of the gravy. The combination of spicy, sweet & sour gravy will make your taste buds crave for more each time it enters your mouth. Ahh.. ~HEAVENLY!!~ Took me about 15 sticks of satay celup before my stomach surrendered for any extra stick. Hey, for those of you that think i finished the whole thing, you are totally wrong ok!

After dinner, went Jusco for window shopping. Nothing that caught my interest. Dropped by Papparoti and bought a bun before heading home.

This morning (Sunday) ,i woke up & got a good news from my dad. What izit about? Well, it's private. so i'll just keep it to myself. My dad received a phone call from my uncle who suggested that we go makan breakfast together. So, my dad called my 1st aunty & uncle to join us as well. We had our breakfast in Ong Kim Wee again... but not satay celup, but dim sum. The shop is the 1st shop, located at the same row of satay celup shop. This was my 1st time having dim sum in this shop. I usually had my dim sum in Bukit Beruang. For me, the dim sum here juz taste ok. Nothing so special. I prefer dim sum in Bukit Beruang. But my uncle (who suggested us having breakfast together) said that the "bak pau" there is nice because the filling is not too dry. I can't comment much about it coz i'm not 1 of "bak pau's" fan. As they were enjoying themselves doing one of my family's all time favourite activity (eating), they chat & their topic of the day was about car & the "good news". I juz spent most of my time listening, exploring my uncle's new hp & snap some pictures.

Some of the dim sum.

The "bak pau".

After breakfast, went to my grandaunty's place for some "bonding" activity. Went home bout 2.30pm. At 2.50pm, my grandma came with my 2nd uncle, followed by my 1st aunt & uncle 5 minutes later. Another family gathering.. that means.. more food, more eating.. Haiz.. My mum came back from work with bread & biscuits. So, we had bread+kaya, bread+sardine, biscuits, coffee & fruits for tea. sry.. no pic this time cos busy preparing food (not bz eating!! i did not take anything. Still can feel the dim sum + pau in my stomach) & layan them. They went back around 5.45 pm & mum busy preparing dinner.

Looks like food & my family can't be separated. From the stories my grandma or i call "mama" told me, looks like this "all time favourite activity" had been inherited from 1 generation to 1 generation.

Lucky me?

2008-11-28T18:27:00.000+08:00

I was sleeping when suddenly i heard a ringing tone. I was thinking tat the tone is very familiar but where did i heard it b4? I thought it was a dream till my mum who was rushing to work woke me up & handed me my old hp. Aha!! that's my old hp's ringing tone (i had entered another sim card in that phone) , no wonder it sounded familiar. With a groggy head, I picked up the phone and i heard a teenage malay guy's voice. This was what happened this morning. It might not be the exact word but it has the same meaning.

*RINGING TONE....*

Me: Hello.

Stranger: Hello. Adib ada tak?

Me: Salah nombor.

Stranger: Ni siapa?

Me: Ni rumah orang Cina.

Stranger: Apasal orang cina cakap Melayu?

Me: Suka hati saya la. ( I was thinking that u r talking in malay and of course la i reply in malay.Plus, why should i explain to a stranger why i speak malay?)

Stranger: Ni siapa ni?

Me: Ni rumah Cina. Awak salah nombor.

Stranger: Eh, tapi ni bukan orang cina. Ni siapa ni?

Me: Ni rumah Cina la. ( In my heart i was saying "hw la i wanna proof that i am a Chinese?". An in the 1st place, why should i proof to u?)

Stranger: Ni bukan cina ni.

Me: *quiet* ( In my heart, I was cursing him for disturbing my sleep and he thought that i was playing a fool with him. Come on man, i slept at 2.00 am & my sleep was more precious than playing a trick on u at 6.40 am in the morning).

* Hung up*

After bout 4 minutes...

*RINGING TONE*

Stranger: Hello.

Me: Salah nombor.

Stranger: Sorry.. sorry..

*END*

Actually, this was not my 1st experience. Before this, there was a chinese man (his voice sounded like someone who was in his late 40's) called and asking for some stranger in Mandarin. Argh!! I dun 1 to mention wat happened, makes me angry when thinking bout it. Had to admit that i'm a "banana" or a chinese who does not know hw to speak chinese (but i can understand ok..), that doesn't make me & some other people in the same category "weird". Instead, i categorize it as " unique". Anyway, i would like to thank that malay guy coz he gave me a morning/ wake up call, or else i might overslept & missed my 8.00 am class.. So, I'll forgive u for disturbing me early in the morning.

After the 4 hours (2hours BMC lecture & 2 hours BQT tutorial) torturing of sleepy,cold & hungry (didn't take anything for breakfast), at last we called it a day in campus. Haha.. I became awake as soon as the tutor said "class dismiss". Another reason i was awake coz i was goin to meet someone whom i had not met for a long time. What i can say is, i'm the last person she met before she went "missing in action" and now the 1st among my frens to meet her. So, can guess who? Of course she is a girl.

Presenting.... (drumroll)...

TADAA!!

Pav's latest exclusive photo.

We went Mori Cafe to hav our lunch + talk + gossip for nearly 3 hours.. Oh ya! we met Kannan, another "long-lost-fren" there. Another picture of pav.

Pav: Hi everyone! Let's go yam cha together one day ya.

Aik!! Why today i membebel so much ar? K la. Better stop nw or else....

What a day...

2008-11-27T12:25:00.000+08:00

Hello!! I'm back again after few days.. There's nothing to blog tis few days. Haiz, 2day i felt so stupid lor.. make a huge mistake in d BQT quiz.. huhu.. Question 1. Y la i soooo careless? Y?!! Y?!!! Y?!! Argh!! Waste my 10 marks = 5%.. Hopefully d lecturer cn give markah kesian 4 writing d formula, but i guess tat's IMPOSSIBLE!!! Haiz.. nvm la, it's over anyway, can't do anything. Take it as a lesson & be more alert next time.

After quiz arnd 2.45 pm, rushed to CCU to attend Cervical Cancer Awareness Talk. The talk was conducted by Dr. Vincent Tan. My mother worked with him before in Malacca General Hospital (now he has his own clinic few doors away from King's Hotel) & according to my mum, he is a good doctor. It's good for everyone to learn bout cervical cancer since there r more & more cases reported each day.When i say EVERYONE, hey!! that includes all the GUYS out there as well. It doesn't matter u dun hav any (cervix) but it's helps u 2 understand ur mum, aunt, gf, future gf, wife, future wife or any ladies tat are related 2 u.

Advertisement on tissue packet

At nite, had to go campus again 4 MCCT quiz (i forgotten wat MCCT stands for.. hehe) representing Faculty of Business & Law (FBL) society. It was raining so heavy. I had a hard time driving coz I can't see the road properly. Juz used my instinct to drive. Met Sherryn & Elaine (not me of course). Basically, d quiz was hard although it was in MCQ form. 40 question in total (20 general ques, 6 ques bout M'sia, 8 ques bout MMU & 6 ques bout src). Although it sounded easy, but it was NOT!! 3 person in a group = 3 brains still can't answer most of d questions... In the end, juz simply hentam any answer la.. haha.. As d result, we didn't win anything. Sry FBL society, we tried our best. Since it was the first time for us (me, Sherryn & Elaine), we took it as a chance to gain experience. Who knows if we are goin to represent society again next time, then at least we know wat type of questions to expect...

Juz another day

2008-11-23T18:21:00.000+08:00

I went back my kampung yesterday.. haha.. but tis time balik a while oni la. One of my uncle followed us back. We were bz chatting & "updating ourselves bout our relatives" under the shady rambutan tree since it was windy there. Then suddenly my grandma suggested 2 me having mee rojak for tea time. TING!! Good idea! it had been quite sumtime i didn't eat the mee rojak. Really miss the taste of "Lubuk Cina Mee Rojak" (Lubuk Cina = my kampung's name). My dad went 2 buy mee rojak & came back with a big packet of mee rojak, probably can be eaten by 12 adults. When we were juz started enjoying our food, my 1st aunt & uncle came back & brought more food. There were few types of kuih such as karipap, cekodok pisang, pisang goreng, ubi ketuk & kuih udang. Actually, i think my family has a norm which is "let our visitors eat till they surrender" or "eat till u drop (in a good way of course if nt sum1 will be lying on d hospital bed for over-eating)" . Hahaha.. tat's y evryone will gain weight evrytime come 2 our houses.

Went back arnd 7pm & reach 1 hour later. watch news & chat wif my aunt who came back from KL at my grandaunty hse till 8.45 pm. Then my dad, mum & me (my bro stay at my granparents place) went to town 2 find dinner or shall i say consider it as supper. We went 2 buy fried oyster in Kampung Pantai & satay sumwhere in Bukit China.

Although it is in Kampung Pantai, but it states there "Ujong Pasir Oyster". This is bcoz last time this stall used to be in "Moon Luck Ujong Pasir" together with the satay. since that shop was demolish for some housing projects, so all the tenants shifted & scattered arnd that area. We reach home arnd 10 pm. It's all about food 2day.

Wat Happen??

2008-11-19T21:34:00.000+08:00

Today i woke up early to prepare 4 BMC tutorial. haiz, last nite too tired to practise. Too preoccupied practise d tutorial presentation, suddenly i realize. OMG!! I'm late!! Need to get ready for class.. I was rushing loading my things into the car. Suddenly... OH NO!!! My right hand middle finger kena kepit in between my car door & the wall.. OUCHH!! i can see it was swelling & turning into blue-black.. I was actually wanted to stop the car door from banging against the wall, but.. my finger become the victim.. huhu.

It had been raining cats & dogs since 4 sumthin'. haiz.. another wet day. class ended at 5 pm. I went home i discovered the driveway was very dirty. Haiz.. another work 4 me 2 clean it. The heavy rain must hav caused all d water & sand flowed into my driveway again since the road is higher than my driveway. luckily it didn't enter my house, or else... u all cn imagine.. Half way cleaning, my mum came back from work.. guess wat? she bought back "nasi lemak kukus" for dinner... haha.. Nice treat for me after cleaning the dirty stuff.
