My Life, My Story

Wow, what a coincidence that it's been a year since I blah-ed here and here I am again.

Indeed, time flies. Today is an important day. Not because it's the anniversary of my blog but because of the resurrection of our Saviour. My church decided to have a service+celebration+picnic at Rimba Park, TTDI. And we were blessed to have a complete rainbow over our heads on such a wonderful morning. Was a great event but didn't manage to capture any photos, unfortunately :(

On a different note, I have been sucked into the reality of 8 hours, five-day week, in order to survive. So far, all's good. Enjoyed meeting my new colleagues, really nice people and also my superiors who were friendly enough to make my first few days less nerve wrecking for me. The truth is, I wasn't really nervous. In fact, it feels like this is where I belong. I have chosen this place to work in, and I shall make myself happy here. It's not about looking for a job/career that would make me happy, but it's about finding happiness and joy in whatever I am doing.

Today I genuinely feel blessed and contented with my life. I know I wouldn't have made it without You. And unto You, I give thanks.

Because He lives, we live.

Happy Easter everyone! Anyone would love to share their chocolate bunnies and eggs with me? Pretty please?

Life goes on

2010-03-17T14:57:00.000+08:00

It's been a busy year for me so far. Places to go, people to meet, things to do.

Chinese New Year came and went. So did the ang pau money. *sob*

My convocation came and went too. Did I feel a sense of accomplishment in my life so far? Maybe the feeling lasted 10 seconds. Because I know, that's only a small step to bigger things in the future. Sigh, why must we make life so complicated?

And the good news for this year, I am no longer unemployed! Wait a minute, is that good news or bad news?
No more late nights, no more late mornings too (oh no, the torture of waking up early!)
I guess it's all part and parcel of growing up. Just like everyone else.

Today is such an emo day. With the gloomy weather, doesn't seem to be helping much either. Sometimes I wonder, is there more to life than this?

Just a little something to ponder over for those who are working:
You work your ass off from morning till evening Monday to Friday. And then you come home, you'd just wanna slump on the couch to relax and unwind. Probably catch some tele or FB. Come weekends, being able to wake up later in the morning, becomes a luxury. The vicious cycle goes on and on...

But like I've mentioned, it's all part of life I guess. Whining over it certainly won't change a damn thing.

Help me, I don't wish to be trapped in this part of life!

Congratulations to the happy couple

26th January 2010

To the happy couple who got married last Saturday, Adrian and Mun Leng.

Here are the photos for the morning 'torture' session.

Adrian and team posing for photos before picking up the bride.

The negotiation in process.

They were supposed to enact the scenes from the wedding photos taken.

Looks like they were enjoying it!

A must have in all 'torture' sessions. What's inside? Chillis, wasabi, celery and many more unidentified ingredients.

The aftermath of drinking.

All getting excited once again over bras. Wonder why the girls chose such an 'aunty' bra?

Leong Mi enjoying the view of two guys doing you-know-what

Ju trying really hard to get all the juice out!

Another crazy game involving licking the belly button. Eeew!

The group of heng-tais. Now everyone say 'SQUEEZE!'

Heng-tais and chi muis.

Finally got the lovely bride.

It was a one crazy morning but oh well, it was all worth it to see the groom finally got the beautiful bride. Congratulations Adrian and Mun Leng! Live a happy and joyous life ahead.

On a sunny Saturday morning

2010-01-25T21:23:00.005+08:00

On a hot sunny morning, the boyfriend and I were feeling bored and thus, decided to head to somewhere a little cooler. And quieter. And near. So Fraser's hill was it. Initially wanted to put up a night but after much consideration, decided that it wasn't worth it to spend a night doing nothing at all.

Really there wasn't much to do there. It took about 2 hours to drive up there from our place. Kinda slow don't you think? maybe it was his driving. Anyway, upon reaching, you will see the infamous clock tower. Was there decades ago, and still is. So of course we had to take a photo of it. Only then it would feel more holiday-ish no?

We parked the car and walked around the hills and ~~valleys~~ (okay, so there were no valleys). Took a shot of the horse ranch where you get to see horses poop. No fun.

Trying to get an artistic shot. Don't think it worked out well. But there were plenty of pretty, vibrant flowers up there. Nothing compared to those you see here. Think of it, the heat would probably kill the flowers.

Yet another infamous building. Bet you've never seen a post office like this one before. Unless of course, you've been to Fraser's.

The family trying to get on a horse. Poor horse having to support 100 kg just for our entertainment. And no, we didn't torture the horse.

Ah, the main purpose of heading up there.

Scones for tea!! Yummy! But I reckon they should change the menu because they really smell like mothballs and the cover looks like it has been dinner for the bugs and insects for a long time.

A quaint little place to have some tea, a couple of scones and a really good book. How I wish I was there now.

Don't you just love the rustic, British colonial-times building?

And that's us feeling happy over perfect weather, tea and scones.

I bet he was just waiting to dig into the food. Scones were absolutely scrumptious. Was so tempted to order more but you know how it's like when you get too much of something, you just don't appreciate it that much anymore?

This is the apple pie with an option of being served with ice-cream/cream. We chose ice-cream of course!

It was heavenly too! Fresh from the oven.

Hot chocolate on a chilly weather can never be wrong.

The rest of the place in the restaurant.

Looks so warm and cosy eh? But it can get a little musky and not exactly very clean either. So don't expect a 5 star cleanliness over here.

Oh well, it was just a short spontaneous trip. A good one I might add. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sometimes you just need a little quiet time with your loved ones every now and then.

Back with a not-so-bang!

2010-01-14T13:58:00.000+08:00

Yes, I am back! SO much has happened in the past 2 months I don't even know where to start!

Just had my exams, yes it is now all over. Strange but am I not suppose to feel happy and free? But it's the exact opposite. Now everyone will start haunting me with the BIG question. "So have you found a job yet?"

Am I even ready to work? To be ushered into an entire different new world. On a new year. How ironic. Oh, well, I shall leave that to the Almighty up there. Of course I have to do something like send out resumes and attend interviews. So if anyone out there who would consider hiring a freshie? ~~Expertise in the area of eating and sleeping~~. ~~Shit. I should really grow up~~. But yeah, anyone who wants to help me, I would really appreciate it!

So besides the 'Im-supposed-to-be-a-grown-up-and-be-mature' routine, I had a great time working part time (during my exams!) for yet another team building event. Heck, maybe I should consider a full time job in that. But do people really pay you to have fun? Anyway, here are the pictures.

This is like a super gigantic bed. I've never seen any bed huger than this before. Thinking of it makes me wanna sleep.

Vann posing with the TV. Oh, I miss the days..

Vann again. This time posing with the toilet.

Ahh..jump into the pool after a long hot day..

Hungry at 3am? Look up in here. They have room service called 'KNOCK KNOCK'

Coffee, tea or drinking water? Ice bucket for a lil champagne perhaps?

Since there is nothing much to do in PD with their yucky beaches, you can chill here @ Cumulus. Quite a funky place with live band at night. Oh oh oh! Plus, an infinity pool. Me likey!

Told you it's nice..

So nice until you have a couple rendezvous-ing in the pool..

What's a beach without coconuts eh?

Oh by the way, the hotel is called Thistle Hotel. A very nice place to stay and relax. You can forget about the beach of course. Maybe a little to pricey to just stay in a hotel? I think the rate was about RM 350+. Of course checking the website or googling would be a much wiser choice to make sure! =)

See you next time!

Now What?

2009-11-17T13:10:00.000+08:00

What am I going to do next, now that I am done? *keeps fingers crossed*

Laughter Is The Best Medicine. Really?

2009-10-26T18:13:00.000+08:00

I came across this is my email. today:

A Russian woman married an English
gentleman and they lived happily ever
after in Newcastle .

The poor lady was not very proficient in English,
but did manage to communicate with
her husband.

The real problem arose whenever she
had to shop for groceries.

One day, she went to the butcher
and wanted to buy chicken legs. She
didn't know how to put forward her
request, and in desperation, clucked
like a chicken and lifted up her skirt
to show her thighs.

Her butcher got the message, and
gave her the chicken legs.

Next day she needed to get chicken
breasts, again she didn't know how
to say it, and so she clucked like a
chicken and unbuttoned her blouse
to show the butcher her breasts.

The butcher understood again, and
gave her some chicken breasts.

On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed
to buy sausages.

Unable to find a way to communicate this,
she brought her husband to the store...
...
...
...
...
...
...
What were you thinking?

Hellooooooo!!!!!!, her husband speaks English!

Twenty one + one

2009-10-21T22:30:00.000+08:00

So I am a year older. The older you are, the wiser you get? That should explain the white hairs on my head. This year, I had a nice dinner at a small little restaurant called Tophat. With the other half of course. Not alone! This was what we had:

Curry laksa. Supposedly its chef's recommendation. For me its just an overpriced hawker dish!

Rm30 for a bowl. You tell me. It is nice though.

This was mine! Stew oxtail soup, served with garlic bread. Yummy. It has a very rich texture.

This is chicken pie I think. The mashed potatoes were good. Pastry was crispy and freshly baked out of the oven! (Okay, I'm making myself hungry right now)

Our 'pie tee'. Comes with the curry laksa set. At this stage, I was pretty much bloated already.

But of course, dinner wouldn't be complete without dessert!

The restaurant's award winning cake-Tiramisu.

I would prefer if it had a little more taste of coffee liquer.

Their menu. Very humble looking. Not too extensive but quality food is served.

The service there was pretty good as well. Friendly waiters, nice ambience. I just wished it was a little darker. In fact, I said it aloud to my other half, and the lights dimmed in 5 seconds! That just goes to show how attentive they are! Or eavesdropping on our conversation perhaps?

So maybe the waiters do not have very good photography skills.

Will definitely go back there to try out more desserts!

But no more late nights for me.Camping in the library officially starts tomorrow. =(

I'll sneak out here to update soon though!

Farewell

2009-10-19T00:06:00.000+08:00

Things we did before Erwin left

Prawning
Taboo-ing
Gambling
Yam cha-ing

Catch of the day!

She is not afraid of the worms at all!

This was like at 3am in the morning. Zzz..

Our hardwork and effort! Yummy!

Aww...

Yam cha @ Starbucks. Where else?

Three-some.

In genting after 1 hour of sleep!

Don't miss us Chee Wee! :)

Yinn-Yinn and me

This is such a cutie pic of Vann and Evon!

And that's the four of us!

The wonderful people on my table.

Our very own talented photographer, Garry! And of course all these photos were taken by him! Except when he is in the photo as well.

All of us again.

Lucky Brandon!

The bride of the night. Hehe.

They say the best times are when you are still studying. I couldn't agree more. Though real life will hit me very soon, I am so glad to have met all these people in my life. Because of them, they have made my life special. And fun of course! Truly I am blessed with great friends! Will always cherish the memories we had and will have.

Goodbye Bangkok!

2009-10-04T21:03:00.004+08:00

Okay. I'm going to end my Bangkok post once and for all. I've received too many complaints already.
"Why so long havent update?"
"Why still on Bangkok post?"
"Why update halfway?"

Dinner in chinatown

Some pub. They sing too many Thai songs.

Victory Monument. Similar to our very own 'Tugu Negara'?

King Rama statue in Lumpini Park. I think.

Yay! We flew all the way to Bangkok to paddle on a lake.

View of Bangkok from the tallest tower. 83rd floor.

It's a great experience! Try it. Not the view. But the live band.

They did an M2M version of Pretty Boy.

"OH my pleeeety pleeety boy i love youuuuu"

Floating market. A must visit in Thailand.

Paid RM60 to ride on an elephant. And watched them poo.

I did my best to summarise my trip. It was a good one definitely. Will be visiting again in the next 5 years?

Dedicated to Choo

2009-09-18T16:01:00.003+08:00

My dear friend Choo, you may have left this world, but you will forever remain our hearts.

Your smile and laughter will always be missed.

I know you are in a better place now. May your soul rest in peace.

Bangkok Day 2

2009-09-11T15:41:00.005+08:00

Muah! Toodles for now!

Bangkok Day 1

2009-09-02T18:14:00.000+08:00

This is him. I couldn't see his smile so decided to draw one!

This is me. No smiley cause he doesn't like to see me smile?

Lots of this in Thailand. No idea what you call them.

On the way to the hotel.

Fascinating culture. Imagine this. You and your friend/gf/wife/whatever, decides to go shopping. Upon reaching, you see this. Then you start praying. Under the hot sun. Such devoted citizens. Some random guy even asked if we wanted to pray! Then he saw my cross, smiled and walked away.

This is like 3 shopping malls combined into one.

My bf: I want this *points at pork balls*

Chef: Ok. *points at different type of noodles*

My bf: *points at koay teow and beehoon*

Chef: *confused face*

My bf: Can mix ah?

Chef: *surprised face* Har? Keh-not.
Me: You think this place hawker stall selling kari mee in Msia ah? *Sigh*

Oh-chien. Yummy!

Big Sushi lying in the middle of the shopping centre.

Taller than me! I'm short. Boo.

The place for locals to buy groceries. SOME tourists also go there to buy instant noodles to bring home.

Home sweet home for 4 days.

This is definitely THE place to go for seafood! I can still remember the grilled prawns. Mmmm..makes me salivate.

We tom yum almost everyday. Luckily never 'lau sai'.

This is the best! Jumbo prawns fried with garlic and all sorts.

As you can see, we didn't take a lot of photos on food. We were too hungry!

And be careful not to be conned into going to Somboondee. Which we did 'kena' con initially. We told the taxi to fetch us to Somboon restaurant and he led us to Somboondee instead. Upon reaching, the restaurant has no customers except 2 'kwai-lo' drinking. (I knew something was amiss because I already made some research online and found out that other tourists were conned into coming to this restaurant too.) And when we saw the price!!! It was probably 3-4 times more expensive than Somboon. We wanted to leave and the manager a.k.a conman said he would give us tourist discount. Guess how much? 10%. What the..

So we left and took that same idotic taxi driver a.k.a conman also (no choice cause there wasn't any other taxi around. Plus, he was still loitering around the restaurant area) Sure all nicely planned 'gao gao'. But this time, he drove us to the right restaurant near Patpong. AND charged us exorbitantly. Fucker. We didn't want to see his face nor hear his voice anymore so we just gave him the money and slammed the door.

Well, the food solved my anger! It was so delicious I forgot all about the 'con-ners' out there.

Next up, pink taxis!

Dinner In The Boathouse, TTDI

2009-08-26T23:06:00.011+08:00

For those of you who know, and don't know, I recently got back from my trip to Bangkok. No worries for I am certified H1N1 free. Exercised my responsibility by self-quarantining for a week now. (perfect excuse to skip class too!) Anyhoo, no extra brownie points for those who guessed correctly from my previous entry and that pathetic clue I gave out. I'm 'kiam-siap' okay. Also, due to some human error, my photos are lost somewhere, dont know where.

But! I managed to stumble across this cosy little restaurant in TTDI called BoatHouse. And thus, today's entry shall be about food. Pardon my photos. 'Pai seh' want to use flash to take the food leh.

If you squint your eyes really hard, you can see fishies swimming in the bar. As in, using an aquarium as a bar top. Get it?

This dish was called white tuna something something. I loved it! It was juicy and tender and the sauce was not too overpowering so you can still taste the sweetness of the fish.

Okay, here comes the bad pictures. This was the Beef Spaghetti. Personally, I think the beef was a little overdone but the sauce was extremely rich and it really brought out the taste well.

Pepperoni pizza. Nothing fancy. Have tasted better.

Standard mushroom soup. Again, nothing too extravagant.

Garlic bread. Yummy probably cause I was pratically starving!

That's Erwin and Megan. Soon to be flying off to UK. Awww..

Oh! Here's something rather interesting. You can 'draw-draw' on the table while waiting for your food or whatever on the 'mahjong' paper. Of course they provide the crayons.

Ever seen a 4-legged T-Rex? With a pig head riding on it? Erwin's masterpiece.

The non-smoking section of the restaurant. The ambience is pretty nice. Not too noisy like the usual pubs you get. The place is warm and cosy too, with plenty of chandeliers playing with the romantic side of you. I saw a couple making out okay. So I'm not just saying it.

So that's our impromptu dinner that we had last week. I think I should have more impromptu dinners next time and see if I can find other hidden treasures in Klang Valley.

All in all, the dinner cost about RM250 with a jug of Margarita and a beer. Pricey? I don't know. But here's definitely the place if you want variety from tapas to pasta to dessert. Go try!

Upcoming post...Bangkok! I promise this time!

Back To Blogging

2009-08-21T00:23:00.004+08:00

Soon to be updated!

Of pink taxis, sore feet and elephants.

What's the connection? Stay tuned.

Here's a little clue.

Just Because I Am Bored

2009-08-06T13:05:00.004+08:00

So I guess life is back to a routine. Classes. Eat. Sleep. Study. (study? yeah right)

Looking forward to my trip next week! Bangkok, I'm coming! WEeee..

On the other hand, I have to finish up my assignments a week earlier. Because I am so smart to pick a date to go on holiday which coincides with the due dates of my assignment. Boo.

Do I have to quarantine myself when I'm back? Which means I'll be missing two weeks of classes? Hmmm..tempting. Better stay away for those who know me. Before I 'achoo' on you.

Speaking of 'hee-nee' aka H1N1, I saw someone using a mask to uni just the other day. I was thinking to myself, "Paranoid Chinese fella" (yes, I can be racist sometimes. By the way, does criticizing your own kind makes u racist??)

Then as I walked pass him, he went "Achoooooooooo!" So, I guess he was protecting others from transmitting the disease? Then, I felt bad for labelling him paranoid.

BUT then again, does a mask really help in trapping the virus so it doesn't fly everywhere? (I am not a doctor, so I'm entitled to use layman terms to explain) I don't think so.

Never mind. When I'm back, I'll use a hello kitty mask like this. At least it's cute. Maybe it will become a fashion statement. Who knows?

I Am A Graduate! ...Not...yet

2009-07-28T17:23:00.019+08:00

A couple of weeks ago, my sister graduated from University of Technology, Sydney. When is it going to be my turn? Soon, I hope. Actually, next year's my turn. It's my last semester. One last hurdle to go through. Kinda ironic huh? Passing my last hurdle towards a new beginning.

Hey I'm taller even with her mortarboard on!

Of course, it isn't a celebration until there is food. Asian culture? Beats me.

Daddy felt like having Chinese so we opted for Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant. The food there is pretty good. Try the suckling pig. Never fail to order. And as usual, shark's fin soup, abalone, fish, sea cucumber, prawn..bla bla bla.

I'm too lazy to upload photos of the food. You know how bad my photography skills are. Especially when it comes to food. Besides, it's not in my camera. Speaking of camera, I got a new one. Well, not me exactly. But the other half. (Better clarify or else he will make noise)

Notice why I mentioned 'the other half' and not 'the better half'. I don't quite understand when people ask, "Where is your better half?" What does that make me? The lesser better half? I'm rambling I know. I'll just stick to 'the other half''.

Well, that pretty much is my family. Kinda big don't you think?

Soon to be more..yikes!

Transition

2009-07-21T16:29:00.006+08:00

4 more months to go. That's all I have. And I'm being ushered to take my first big step into the 'real' world. So does it mean my life has been a fantasy all this while? All the friendships, some made, some broken. Heartaches along the way. Of course there are times when responsibilities are not exactly the kind of things on my mind.

Sure I can do a lot of things given the amount of time I have in my hands. One thing many 'adults' lack these days. But isn't quality time more important than quantity?

It's funny how 'adult' think sometimes.

Just because I am younger than you, does it mean I am always wrong and you are always right?
Just because you have more experience than I do, does it mean my idea is worthless and not viable?
Just because you have heavier responsibilities, does it mean I cannot enjoy the youth I have now?

Is it because; looking at me reminds you of your youth? The freedom you once had? The attitude of I-can-do-whatever-I want. And no one is going to give a damn because you are free.

Entitled to be rebellious just because you are young.
Entitled to be irrational just because you are young.
Entitled to make mistakes just because you are young.

So think back and reflect, everyone was once a youth. Have they forgotten what it's like? Or have they been blinded so very much with workload and responsiblities? Or have they refused to accept reality that they no longer have that kind of privilege and thus no one else can?

I have always believed that one should not always dwell in his past. But forget not, the past is what makes us who we are today.

I will not trade any of my mistakes, heartaches and hurt for anything in this world. It has made me who I am today. If anything, I would learn from them, and make myself- a better and stronger me.

I Am His Sheep

2009-07-19T19:15:00.009+08:00

I know for a fact today, I had a conversation with my Father this morning. My Father in heaven that is. He told me of this wonderful relationship I have with Him, that He is my shepherd, and I am his sheep. Boy, am I glad I am His sheep. Knowing that He will always be there for me no matter what happens.

You see, He has this funny kind of intervention; that when you desire for something and ask in His name, you shall receive. Isn't that wonderful? There is simply no catch. All you have to do is believe in Him. And that's exactly what I did. Amazingly, not only did He answered my prayers, he exceeded my expectations. As my pastor always says, "Do not limit God. In God, there are simply no measures. He will do exceedingly and abundantly"

And I just want to thank God for giving me such amazing results. All I had hoped for was a mere pass, but NO. He had given me more.

So I just want to encourage everyone that when all seems bleak, fix your eyes on Jesus. And know that He is your shepherd. He will guide you. He will rise you above the storms. And above all, He will ALWAYS love you.

Taken from Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the death
I will fear no evil
for You are with me
Your rod and Your staff
They comfort me

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

90 Years Old and Still Strong

2009-07-18T15:02:00.009+08:00

I recently attended a 90th birthday party in Overseas Restaurant, Jaya One. Besides the wonderful bonding session and an array of great food, I began to wonder much for the past week. Not the fact that living up till you are 90 and still able to go through walks, dinners and still feeding yourself. I mean, that is besides the point.

The question is: How do you survive such a looooooooooong marriage and still look as if you were on your first date?

I really admire his grandparents. I love seeing elderly couples still taking walks, whispering into each other's ears and holding hands. It's not very often you get to see a scene like that in Malaysia. But the fact remains, everytime I see it, I feel a sense of satisfaction. Satisfied knowing that this couple had probably gone through so much in their lives, turbulences, constant arguments and fights and yet they stick to one another through thick or thin. It is such an inspiration especially in the midst of the current generation where divorce cases are shooting up like the amount of OldTown White Coffee kopitiam ( I know, its a lousy metaphor )

(The only one carrying the Khor family name. Swt)

I've personally seen way too many broken marriages. People I know. People I don't know. I certainly wouldn't want to be a part of that. Like everyone says, marriage is NOT a bed of roses. Well, I guess I have to pluck the many thorns along the way.

Day 2 and 3 in Hatyai

2009-07-13T16:17:00.042+08:00

We had a great weather to start the day with. Drove another couple of hours, parked our car in Changloon and head on towards the border of Thai, called Sadao. Didn't manage to take any pictures. The police or immigration people looked pretty intimidating.

Thailand's very own version of Ribena. Tasted like sourplum juice.

Our first stop in Hatyai. Food. What else? This chicken rice definitely beats USJ 4, Casablanca's.

My view from Lee Garden Hotel. Super convenient place. Totally recommended.

Kungfu Panda? Nah.. just us getting ready for massage sessions in the hotel. (my sis warming up. hehe)

I look like an idiot here. Nonetheless, the massage was so-so. I swear I felt I had bruises all over my back the next day.

Riding on a tuk-tuk to dinner.

That's me! The railing on the tuk-tuk was too yucky for me to hold on to.

Our dinner on the first night.

Kerabu. Definitely not to be missed when visiting Thailand.

Tom yum goong. Second must-have dish. But honestly, I think the ones in Malaysia tasted better. Maybe I have accustomed to our local Thai tom yam?

This is the bestest, most awesome fried fish ever. Beats my mom's cooking too! (sorry, Mom)

The restaurant's specialty- Crab meat fried rice.

My mom has been pestering all the locals about this dish the entire trip cos she couldn't remember where she had it the last time she went to Hatyai. Mind you, it was decades ago.

Off we went to the market the next day!

Woman peeling fresh prawns for you if you wanna buy em.

Green guavas! They're really sweet.

One of the MANY sundry shops in the market. So colourful!

Rice. Cannot buy too much else 'kena' tax. Luckily cause our taxi's boot wouldn't be able to handle all our luggage!

Here come the Hello Kitty craze...

Hello Kitty glass

Hello Kitty tissues

More Hello Kitty tissues..you get the idea. It all belonged to my sis, Aimee. She's like the craziest Hello Kitty fan ever.

McD located just below my hotel. How convenient ( in making me fat that is)

See the Choco pie and Cheesy fries???

Just had to have a taste of the famous Golden Arches menu.

The Spinach pie was actually Choco pie inside. And it SUCKS. Left me so disappointed. However, the Pineapple pie tasted really good. Duh~ It's pineapple in Thailand. How bad can it be?

And of course, the famous PORK burger which you can NEVER EVER get in MALAY-sia.

Again, it was another disappointment. It just tasted so....normal.

But Ken loved it so much he wanted to have everything by himself!

Later at night, roadside beef noodles for dinner. Simply pick a stall and you cannot go wrong in Hatyai. It all taste better than any hawker stall in KL.

They even have steam bread with kaya. Absolutely heavenly. And a generous portion of kaya too!

dessert @ Swensens. Sigh..guilty pleasures.

Surely don't see any signs of guilt there!

My loots from Hatyai. Mainly food. Junks. Snacks. Toiletries. Clothes.

Everything is just too darn cheap!

Boots products. Can't find any here in Malaysia.

My junk overflowing from the plastic bag. Lay's is extremely cheap over there. And fresh too!

More junk.

And...more junk

Well, that pretty much sums up my trip in Hatyai. Food, food and more food. Next up, Bangkok! Here I come!

On a totally random note, my results will be out this Friday. Crap. Better go pray.

Day One

2009-07-11T03:04:00.027+08:00

Drove hundreds of kilometres till we stopped at Nibong Tebal. You know the place where they make lots of tissues?

Some old buildings in Penang

What else is there to do but eat?

My two lovely chubby sponsors =)

Mom thinking- What to ear ar?

Some fish with tofu. A little too starchy for me.

'Tin kai'. Hmm..tasted blah.

Kangkung belacan. Never fails to be yummy.

Last and not least! Crabby porridge. The most famous dish here. Delicious!

Food again for dinner @ The Floating Seafood Paradise

Yup we picked a few and into the kuali they went.

No, we didn't pick this. Looks yucky to me. Can be eaten wan ar?

Lotsa fishy swimming

Salted egg crabby. Yummy! The only food worth eating here. Which explains the only photo taken.

After food, must exercise. Went 'kai-kai' in Autocity. Made me feel like home with Starbucks and Nando's and Sakae. ( Never knew such place existed in some 'ulu' place)

One of the bazaars

Supper @ Ice-ice Baby. ( There goes my effort in losing weight)

Sat staring at the menu for quite some time cos didn't know what to order!

Finally! Like the usual mango loh you get at KTZ

Ken looking happy (and sleepy) with his juice

I love this round looking waffle-pancake with ice cream!

Time to rest and get ready for Day 2!

Home sweet home.

Just got back from a 3D2N trip to Hatyai, Thailand.

It was a fantabulous trip. After all, my expenses were all paid for! Thanks to my lovely sis, bro-in-law and of course, Mummy! Hugs and kisses to all of you! XOXO.

Will be blogging all about the roadside beef noodles, wet markets and tut-tuts (or tuk-tuks) tomorrow! Stay tuned. Oh, and not forgetting hello kitty craze too!

Feeling 'weighty' lately?

2009-07-03T13:16:00.005+08:00

One fine night, I went down to the kitchen to grab a glass of milk and a butter roll to fill the urge of my growling tummy.

And then I decided, why not just weigh myself to see how have I been keeping up with my weight (it's been quite some time)

As I faithfully stepped onto my digital weighing scale nonchantly waiting for some figures to pop up, I screamed. And my butter roll fell off from my mouth.

It was a horrifying experience. I returned the bitten butter roll back to its original place (someone ate it the next day. must be mom) Finished up my glass of milk and headed to bed.

Ever since, I've been running everyday for 30-45 minutes. Its that bad. (must be the OD effect of snacking in the library for weeks)

And no, I'm not going to reveal my weight. Unless of course, I'm personally asked.

'Spicyness' at Neway K

2009-07-02T22:44:00.025+08:00

On a crazy weekday, we had a birthday lunch at Neway for Spicy girl aka Evon. Wonder if we'll have that again anytime in the near future. Looks like everyone's going their own seperate ways soon. Sad but that's life! Anyway, here are some photos from that day. Thanks to our very own event photographer, Garry Lin aka Garry Berry.

Awesome weekend ahead!

2009-06-30T17:36:00.006+08:00

Heylo maylo!!!!!

The blogger is back! A million gazillion things to do! Weeeee..

First things first. Bazaars!!! Yes, girls will scream at the sound of this. Its THE place to be for great hunts at great bargains. Who wants to be sitting in front of the computer all day long ( especially with lousy slow internet like mine ) browsing through clothes when you can see 'em, feel 'em and try 'em!!

YES!! The AWESOME POSSUM bazaar is what I am talking about! You definitely wouldn't want to miss it. With over 50 vendors selling everything you can ever imagine. And here's the first where guys can have some fun too! (while waiting for your crazy girlfriends to squish through the crowd and shop till they drop) They're even selling cars! And an open mic gig to go along with that? How awesome is that for a bazaar?

So what are you waiting for? Book your dates on the 4th and 5th of July (yes, it's next week) and head on to Subang Square, SS15.

Don't forget to bring along your boyfriend/girlfriend, BFFs, pet brother/sister, cousins, grandma and grandpa (you get what I mean)!

More details, loc map, bla bla bla, head on over to http://awesomepossumbazaar.blogspot.com/

There's gonna be so much fun! I promise!

Oh! and if you're wondering who's organizing this cool event? Take a peek into this website- http://www.francais-kiss.blogspot.com/

June babies

2009-06-18T00:37:00.002+08:00

Time surely flies! Am currently stealing time to secretly update my blog. The 'Learning commons' is my 2nd home now. Then again, make it the 1st.

Just wanna have a quick shoutout to the June babies out there!

June 1st- of course, my beloved cousin, Ling; whom if I dont remember her bday, will kill me!
June 13th- Evon aka spicy girl. We had a wonderful time at the k-session!
June 16th- Marc aka gummy bear. Now the whole world knows you are gummy bear.
June 26th- The 2 Danny's that I know. Share the same name and the same bday.

Okay. I'm switching back to 'Away' and 'DND' mode.

Wish me luck.

On break

2009-06-03T22:45:00.003+08:00

Guess I won't be updating that often. I am sitting for my finals in a week! Someone help me please.

Taken while sipping my all time fav caramel macchiato up in Genting couple of weeks ago in good ol' Starbucks.

Neither here nor there

2009-05-31T14:50:00.004+08:00

When you are so consumed with isolation, will it lead to insanity?
When will it be over? Or is it already?

Guilty

2009-05-27T00:49:00.015+08:00

The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew I had to have you. I knew you were going to be mine. It was love at first sight. I was determined to be with you no matter the cost.

I could imagine being with you everywhere I go. And I'd be so proud to show you off.

Thus, I am sorry for neglecting the significant other. I know I have been spending less and less time with you. Things come and go. So do you.

I am sorry to say I have met my new found love.

Here's my chance to let everyone know I'm in love...again.

.
.

.
.
.
.

.
.

Isn't she sizzling hot? To me at least.

And by the way, me sis also wants to 'tumpang' and show off her new found love.

She's beautiful too. But not as much as mine!

Speaking of shopping, I went to LCCT to drop my mom off at the airport. And guess what? I bought something while waiting for her departure. Airport also can shop. Not bad, eh?

I've been searching for one for quite some time now. And finally found a perfect one! Good quality at an affordable price too!

The Body Shop foundation/blusher brush. It has very soft bristles! So soft you feel like brushing your face with it everyday. Hey, maybe it's good for blood circulation?

This is in comparison with the MAC brush. Cost almost double of Body Shop's. The Body Shop brush is about 60++ after discount. For MAC, I think it's about 100-120++.

The quality is about there. Just that you can see MAC brush is a little bigger, so that makes handling A LITTLE easier. The bristles are also A LITTLE bit softer. Not worth doubling up my money for that I would say. My sister rich ma, what to do?

Hence, The Body Shop gets my vote!

Lost

2009-05-25T21:45:00.003+08:00

There are days I wish I could just shut my mind. Shut it away from everything that surrounds me. This is one of those days.

I dare say I never saw this coming. And now that it has, I want to run and hide. But where can I run to? Where can I hide?

What went wrong? Where was the direction it once used to have? Now its left stranded at the fork of a road. Not knowing which path to turn. At the same time, knowing either path will have serious consequences. Nothing will ever be the same.

Rainbows and chirping birds? Fuck that. The dark skies just got black. And it does not seem to get any brighter.

On kennysia.com

2009-05-25T01:26:00.005+08:00

I was intrigued by an update status by a friend of mine which linked to kennysia's blog. For those of you who don't know his existence, please skip my entry altogether because it is rather irrelevant.

Here goes..on kennysia's latest post, he rambled on his trip to Sandakan. Well, I read it. Naturally felt inclined to agree with some of the things he mentioned like the old buildings, not having a state-0f-the-art airports and the lack, oops I mean, absence of Starbucks and McDonald's.

Having stayed there for a mere 2 to 3 years, I guess I pretty much know the people and their famous seafood restaurants. (some Sdkanians may have some pretty nasty comments bout this)

Anyway, back to the update status my friend had, it linked me to a series of comments made on kennysia's latest post. And boy, was I surprised! Then again, not really because I knew the people there remember?

Here's a snippet of the many comments kennysia received:

" So what if Sandakan doesn't have a fully advanced air conditioned airport? So what if Sandakan is stuck in the eras of 1970s (which I can assure you, it's not.)? So what if there is no 5 star hotels or no chain stores like starbucks? The main attraction of Sandakan, I believe is the uniqueness that it equips, partially alienates itself from the developed cities and emerges as a distinct pearl in its own classic ways. If Sdk appears to be another KK or another KL with skyscrappers blooming everywhere and has LOTS of STARBUCKS, it will greatly torment its cultural uniqueness. The English tea house with gorgeous refinements, the Agnes Keith and the Sdk museum which portrayed well of Sdk's history, the famous Puuh Jih Shih Temple with amazing view on top, turtle islands park, gomantong caves etc, all act as a good escape from the so called high-tech cities and give traveller a chance to taste something different."

"Sebelum SDK-KUL ada juga Sabah Air. Huiyo.. lain lain state tadak airline tapi SDK ada Sabah Air. Dulu pun ada Chow Yeun Fatt datang makan seafood di Sandakan. No wonder la SDK ada HK feeling..."

"Is so strong that the character kept away the padded shoulder company away, they have no chance to entrance the economy of Sandakan. Only the weak KL is capitalised by the big brands and the big names around the city. You know what, Sandakan's local food is incomparable to the rest of the Malaysia, because is so local that the chain food / degraded food in West Malaysia is just for junk people only, like you especially. "
Source: kennysia.com

After reading all comments, I was thinking to myself- What the heck? Why are these proud gung-ho Sandakanians feel so offended by a blogger whom is merely expressing his thoughts and feelings? Isn't that what all bloggers do? Well, most of them..

Let me ask you why kennysia's blog is so famous? Because he is handsome? No. Because he gives out freebies to his readers? No.

It's because of his strong sarcasm that many people think comes in a form of humour.

So, what's wrong with his latest post?

On the contrary, I love their seafood. It's like having a giant aquarium and choosing all the fresh seafood that you want. And also the quietness of the place. Sometimes. People from the city definitely need more of this.

Therefore, I am not saying that Sdk is not a great place to visit. Yes, please go ahead! But if you hail from the city and thinking of staying there for a good 2-3 years, please think twice. Or thrice. You'll never know when you just need a good cuppa coffee and the comfort of jazz music and comfy sofas from Starbucks.

May Babies

2009-05-24T13:13:00.004+08:00

Just a short shoutout to all May babies out there!

22nd May- Happy Birthday Vannnessa!
23rd May- Happy Birthday Mummy!
and last but not least...
25th May- Happy Birthday Aunt Rita!

Horoscope: Gemini (May 21st to June 21st)

Geminis are curious, talkative, versatile and mentally active. Your mind can bounce around from one topic to another with great ease, making Gemini the champion of cocktail party chatter and lighthearted social encounters. Others will think that Gemini are fun to be with, but your ability to change with the changing winds can also lead others to see Gemini as shallow.

Hmm..are the three of them really like that? But one things for sure. They do talk a lot!

Work @ Bukit Tinggi

2009-05-22T21:19:00.023+08:00

Event: Team building for Kenanga Investment Bank
Place: Bukit Tinggi

I'll let the photos do the talking..

Donkey or pony?

Poor bunny being tortured by Vann

Guess who's the boss? Or bosses..?

Vann trying to be tall?
One of the toughest low rope sessions

Yinn's attempt. Good one!

French Town
Pathetic swan. All alone..

The deserted place at 7.10am. Not a single soul to be seen. All sleeping perhaps?

That's pretty much sums up my two day's work in Bukit Tinggi. Very much an eye opener for me to see the immense team spirit bursting through every single drop of sweat. But do they really apply that back in the real world? I wonder...

Quick question:

Pick a guess on why my face did not appear in any of the photos?

1) Eye bags too thick

2) I look fat in all pictures

3) I look like 'aunty' in all pictures OR

4) Bad hair day

Answer: ALL OF THE ABOVE

Of joy and happiness

2009-05-20T14:10:00.005+08:00

Forget not the darkness of the grey skies

Of the heavy clouds and rumbling thunders
But remember also the chirping birds and sprouting rainbows

As the calmness of blue skies are here once again

The blogger is feeling unwell. Period.

A special day dedicated to all mothers

2009-05-11T16:40:00.005+08:00

I google-d wanting to search for a mother's day poem. And then I thought to myself, how un-original I am. Pardon my Engrish. Not that I am going to recite a full length poem here. Everyone knows I'm not much of a poet let alone say anything that rhymes. Although poems don't have to rhyme. Okay, I know I am digressing again.

Back to Mother's Day, I know I am a day late. But everyday is Mother's Day right? (trying to sugarcoat a small sense of guilt)

I'm pretty sure everyone love their own mothers in one way or another. (Those who don't will rot in hell! Remember the 10 commandments!) I know I do. But how often do I tell her I love her? Maybe twice a year. Shameful I know. And how often have I refused to listen to her advice and got myself into trouble? Uncountable.

My mother is everything to me. Yet, I somehow get caught and tangled in the webs of daily life, I forget to pause and reflect on how important she really is to me. Or to my family. I forget to appreciate all the sacrifices she has gone through to make my life easier, happier and making me believe the world CAN be a better place.

My mother is gentle yet strong, thrifty yet generous, smart yet modest. Although sometimes she is quite fickle-minded la. Mothers what...

I just cannot thank her for all she has done for me. I know I can never repay her. Except to let her know she is being loved, every single day of her life.

Thank you Mom. You'll always be the pillar of strength for this family.

And if you're wondering what she is doing now, she is cooking in the kitchen that feels almost 40 degree celcius. Just so we can have our tummys filled. Yes I know you guys must be thinking I am so horrible to let her cook all alone while I am in the air-conditoned room, sitting on fluffy sofas relaxing. And blogging. At least if I was studying not so bad right?

So I guess I better have a sneak peek into the kitchen to see if she needs any help. Does tasting dishes count?

Anyway, before I leave, here is a passage from the bible that speaks about love:

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4

Home Sweet Home

2009-05-04T21:27:00.006+08:00

I'm back from a short trip to Kuantan. It's been quite some time since my entire family went for a holiday together. Mostly because some didn't have the time, outstation, work and bla bla bla. It's also pretty tough to make sure everyone's free on a particular day. Mind you, my family is kinda big. Especially when the spouses and partners add up together. So, I'm glad this time round for Labour day, everyone managed to squeeze thier schedules for a family trip!

Well, the picture's aren't with me now. So I can't upload any. =(

To sum up the trip, I was stuffed with food 24/7. Well, practically everyone was. From breakfast to 'yum cha' to lunch to 'yum cha' to tea time to dinner to 'yum cha' again. Really! It was food all day long! When we were at the beach, home or even the shopping mall, we were scavenging for food. It's crazy.

I think I even gained a few kilos from the trip. Shit.

Nonetheless, I miss the days when everyone was around. Glad I had the chance to relive those memories again.

Megan's Birthday

2009-05-02T16:56:00.014+08:00

Pictures from the surprise party we had for Megan!

Sisters! One member missing..
Bubble wanted to be part of the party too!

That's four of us!

Hey, where's me?

Anxious while waiting for the birthday girl to arrive.

Finally she arrived! Boy, was she surprised!

I'm away right now, so sorry for the short post!

Happy Labour Day everyone! Enjoy the long weekend!

Signing off...

My thoughts

2009-04-29T00:10:00.007+08:00

What makes someone extraordinary? Does it mean having more money to splurge on Gucci's and Prada's? Possessing a great talent that majority doesn't have?Or simply being that 'it' person everyone loves to hang out with?

Even then, what constitutes being ordinary and who actually determines that special uniqueness in someone?

I hope I am someone in someone else's life. I want to be someone whom is thought of, believed in and inspired by.

Or am I just an ordinary girl?

Happy Birthday Sis!

Armanee Terrace

2009-04-22T10:34:00.013+08:00

Attended a birthday party/house warming at Armanee Terrace 2 weeks ago. The place is pretty nice. Swimming pools, huge balcony, nice view..But condo's not my style. Imagine buying tons of groceries and then having to walk up flights of stairs! (in case the elevator breaks down) Nah.. I don't need the extra exercise. Actually, want would be a better word. Here are the pics for the night..

Taking photos with my mom is pretty tiresome. Attempt 1

Attempt 2Attempt 3Finally!Eating mango with style! what the..Erwin trying to act cute with Megan Yes, I do acknowledge the lack of clothes in the boyfriend's closet.

Check out the knife!
Birthday boy..I mean man..

Please do not buy this cake from Secret Recipe called Strawberry Chocolate. Unless you intend to eat a squashed bday cake that kinda looks like someone just 'lau sai'.

Will be back again...soon...

731 days and counting..

2009-04-15T16:31:00.017+08:00

Venue: Courtyard Garden, Damansara Heights

It was a slightly breezy Tuesday night. And so, we opted for an outdoor table to get the al-fresco dining feel overlooking the velvet sky. With the slightly dimmed lights, I would say it is a fairly romantic place to dine with your loved ones.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a waiter who then took our orders. For this month's promotion, they have a welcome drink of either an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage.

For starters, we decided to order a bowl of Wagyu Consomme soup (Thinly sliced wagyu beef with fresh enoki mushroom and touché quail egg served with double boiled beef tea consommé). A clear soup with a hint of mushroom taste. Not bad at all...

The boyfriend who obviously couldn't wait to dig into the soup. ( look closely and maybe you can catch a glimpse of the beef and quail eggs.)

After slurping the soup to the last drop, we ordered a main course each. For him, he had Courtyard Mediterranean Beef. (Our chef’s signature Mediterranean inspired juicy air flown australian beef tenderloin topped with gratinated butter café de paris, served with sautéed potatoes and vegetables of the day). My verdict, it was slightly overcooked although we asked for a medium rare steak. I think Jake's steaks tasted better.

As for me, I ordered seafood. Funny, cause knowing me, I rarely order seafood. Anyway, mine was a pretty good deal. My meal consisted of 2 mussels, 2 squids, 3 jumbo big prawns, 2 humungous scallops and 1 piece of seabass fillet for RM 50. Like the Chinese would say," Hou dai sek ar!!"

Recommended food: (Thai Seafood Bouillabaisse Pan roasted seabass fillet, jumbo prawn, scallop, mussel, squid, crab meat and tomato tom yam soup served with saffron aoili)

Wait a minute got crab meat meh?? *scratches head*

With our stomach 3/4 full, we managed to order dessert. Banana toffee pie. Erm..no comment. Should have ordered their Hot Chocolate Pudding but couldn't wait 20 minutes for it! ( 'Wai sek' couple is like that wan). Well, at least the staffs were sweet enough to add 'Happy Anniversary' on the dessert plate. According to the boyfriend, it was, and I quote," Good service!". Really?

All good things have to come to an end, and so did our wonderful dinner. All the laughs (genuine one okay!) we had, the goofy things he did...it just made me fall in love with him all over again. (not that I'm not in love with him anymore) It's good to just get out of the world and be in each another's one instead. Cheers to us!

For more info on the restaurant, go visit http://www.courtyard-garden.com/

p/s No, they didn't pay me to do a write up. I wish!

Quickie

2009-04-13T22:57:00.014+08:00

Updated : Happy 730 days to you and me! Loves!

Just a mini update on my weekend:

On Friday, it's time to let loose cause its the weekend!! Had dinner at Vivo, The Curve with sisters and friends. Lotsa tears and laughter involved. Tears of joy of course! Later on adjourned to Sanctuary. It's been ages since I went there and boy am I glad I haven't. The place was awful. Music was bad thanks to a lousy DJ who looks underage (serious!). Crowd was bad as well with many 'lalas' wandering around trying to pick up girls or shall I say 'chicks' in this context. Guess that will be my last visit. Goodbye Sanctuary. And no, I will not see you again. By the way, I heard Phuture's GREAT!! Not to mention hot hunks too! Maybe I can be spotted there some time. =)

Saturday was crazy. My legs were aching from mornin till night because I was standing for hours in heels the day before. But I was so looking forward with the 'girls night out' that I had planned. It's been ages since we last met! Well, at least I think one and a half months account for 'ages'. Hehe. So i picked up Don Don aka Caryn (I think she is my first friend to be reading my blog. Because she simply was the first person I told) Message for Caryn: I know you're excited to be first!! Hehe. Okay, sorry I digressed. We headed to One U for food. First time in Pasta Zanmai. Waited for our 'princess' to arrive. None other than Ms.Julia. Always looking HOT in her outfits. Message for Caryn: You are hot too okay!. Ish, I sound like a bimbo now. Hot here, hot there.

After settling down at the restaurant, it was catching up time on all the latest gossips! It's never ending! Especially when the goss come from Ju. Actually, all of it comes from her. Haha! Moments later, guess who appeared!!! Chessieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! I was like #^*@$@%@$%!!! He was supposed to be in Aussie land! But he came back just for me..Awww..How sweet. Okay, we all know he didn't. I'm just being 'perasan'. Now, that really completed our 'GIRLS night out' with hot Kelly too.

Just a little info about the food, i ordered salmon something something pasta. It was cold pasta. So it kinda tasted like I ate overnight leftovers from my fridge. Haha. Actually it wasn't that bad lah. Portion a little too mini for me. Maybe because I am not so mini. Or rather my tummy ain't so mini. I will update with photos of the 'hot girls night out' as soon as I get my hands on the pics from Caryn.

Fast forward and Sunday arrived. Ressurection Sunday actually. And still I think about bunnies. Hehe. Even in church. =P

After church, I had an opportunity to go for a free foot spa ( great timing cause my legs were about to break anytime) at TrueSpa. Courtesy of dont-know-whoever-that-gave-my-number. Overall, the massage was pretty good. My legs felt much better after. Like I could run! Before that, I was walking with a 1 ton of weight on my feet. BUT BUT BUT, the service from the consultant manager was BAD BAD BAD! I didnt' manage to get his name. He was sarcastic, didn't know the right approach to handle customers and just plain 'yong sui' lah. Even the sales consultant was better than him. And cute too. (Guy okay. I'm not into girls.) So in the end, my sisters and I walked out. Without signing up. Hmph!

Here are some photos from the spaaaaaaaaa..

My smelly feet. Not!

My first photo in the blog!

Well, that pretty much sums up bout my weekend. Not a mini update after all. I am just too 'cheong hei'.

Holy-days!

2009-04-08T15:17:00.002+08:00

Easter is around the corner!! Hmm..all i can think of are bunnies!! You know those cute adorable bunnies, nicely wrapped up in shiny wrappers? And the best part is, they can be eaten!! Okay, I know I sound like a cannibal or something but I guess most of you would know that I was referring to CHOCOLATE bunnies. By the way, until now, I still can't figure out the connection between cute hoppity bunnies and Easter. Help anyone?

Anyway, I'll be off for a week in conjunction with the Easter celebration. Ahhh.. my much need rest after weeks of scavenging for information and doing researches, I finally get a break. Maybe I should do more scavenging for the Stila sales..haha.

About Stila, they are having a massive stock clearance! Prices are slashed up to a 70% discount! Promotion is on from April to May, while stocks last! I bet it's pretty much gone by now! My opinion? Don't wait till May! Go now!!!

p/s I think I have actually tasted rabbit meat before! It's like eating myself! Yikes!

2009-04-04T01:30:00.000+08:00

I remember my first Barbie my mom gave me ( actually it was a hand-me-down from my sis). It had long beautiful blonde hair, with big blue eyes and a pretty dress. And as I grew older, I remember my first day in kindie where i told my mom not to wait for me and that I could take care of myself. Later on, I went to high school and remembered having my first crush, first date and a first kiss. Life zooms past quickly and the next thing I know, I'm sitting right here in front of my PC. There is always a first to everything. And here's to a new first, blogging.
