And so... I'm am abandoning this blog and moving on to a new one...

I am loving what technologies can do!!

Because another busy week up ahead with 2 presentation coming up, 3 assignments to complete and a long long report to go, we went back to campus to get some internet connection...

...and ended up, with the help of my webcam + crazy classmates who are never get tired entertaining my ridiculous antics...

Okay, I know it's not perfect, but I only had time to take 6 shots altogether... Not bad, for only 6 picture weh.. One gotta love perspective photos!! Hehehe~

Then Eugine got bored, so she whipped up her handphone, took a photo and got fantabulous with her computer....

Like all vain humans beings, I rarely put up weird pictures of me, but I shall make an exception this time...

AFTER...

Woo hoo!! I love being sleepy eyed, wrinkles and spots free!! Okay, maybe this is not such a good idea after all ... I so totally hate my eyes now...

Miss Fantabulous got creative with her computer~

Thanks to Miss Eugine, I'll never forget this movie~

Happy Tanglung Day!!

I need to lose weight, asap!!

“Anything can happen when you live in the moment, one step at the time. But to find that out, you have to be willing to take that one step.”

Ah me, these days I seem to be everywhere except home. Away from KL too long till I don’t feel belonged anymore. But I love travelling too much!! I love seeing new things, meeting new people, taking loads and loads of pictures!! Till I have to upload them, that’s it... Bugger blogger, the world so advance already still upload like snail like that... Ish... And yea well, I suppose I also did promise Bensen I will post up memories of Pangkor Laut on his behalf...
Only one tinny wenny problem: I ter-left my handphone cable in my hostel... oops...
So so sorry ben ben... Call me careless, call me blur...
Can I postpone it?? again?

So, raves about Pangkor Laut take another rain check. Boredom sets in as no one is free for me to annoy. And sms-es to Sharon went unreplied till wee hours in the morning...
...with a “Sayang...gd nite” .
Sweat that woman, I am not sure leaving her in Penang is such a good idea after all...

But I HAD to leave. Fast. Xin Yan’s mom and dad was treating us two (me and Sharon, the only two non-Penangnites) like royalties, entertaining us from day till night. I literally had to worm my way back, as they were constantly trying to guilt trip me till the last moment in the bus... Hey, a girl gotta know her limit, you know... (and I need to fit back into my jeans too)... There was also Syeqa’s open house and morning service~ It is great to be able to spend time with the people you truly care about, and I had been away too long...

Of course, to those I had dumped in Penang when I ran back to KL, I miss you guys too!! But since we will be together for 4 years and we see each other virtually every moment, that ‘I really really miss you!’ part can come later, I guess... Haha!!

Clockwise from right: Me, Xin Yan (Island host), Xi Huan (Mainland host) and Sharon the Sarawakian.

As you can see, UTeM have Penang folks from all around the place. Something about Penang being famous for electronic stuff, if not mistaken. But how is technical being related to food is what I can’t see. The quantity of the most sinful yet appetizing food found here I tell you..!! *pengsan*

Think yourself too thin? Having no appetite??? The perfect solution is...visit Penang!
*Note: This is not applicable to Penang folks.*

Welcome to Penang!

Night pasar malam...

The stress-ness of scoffing down humouguos sausages on full stomach...

Current addiction: Mario Forever!!

FoOd...

...more food!!

The reason our mouth can't stop chewing...

Haha!! Kidding... Xin Yan's very youthful parents join us in every outing~ And we enjoyed every moment!! =D

便便雪糕 means dessert from toilet bowl~

Haha, they DO do it rather realistic right??

Xin Yan: 我不可以相信我在吃大便!! Yum yum... 很好吃!!

So much yummy food!! In so little time!! And now you understand why am I still struggling to reduce to 44kg........

But still, I can't end this post without leaving this out..!!
Uncle belanja-ed us this on the way to grandparents house..

Ikan bilis+asam powder+generous topping of kacang tanah+secret rojak paste recipe=

Omg, most yummilicious rojak I ever tasted I tell you!!

Tad bit expensive at RM5 as the cheapest, but it's worth it travelling all the way to Penang for this wei..!!

But enough is enough. One gotta love and hate Penang at the same time... Till the next Penang Bridge Marathon on 22nd November, I shall leave Penang and exercise some self-control...

Tee hee, wonder if Sharon is still recognisable or not when she come back... Maybe she have to roll back instead... XD

All too soon, it's the end of H1N1 holiday...

2009-08-09T01:12:00.010+08:00

After a week of random planned activities and UTeM friends dropping by for a visit...

Yipu from Johor with his ever faithful Toyota.

...and pictures taking time with everything and anything that can be kept as sweet memories...

Recharging our energy with lum mee in May King before setting out for shopping~

...and the days spent satisfying our taste buds with famous dishes of KL...
Lum Kuoy Teow~

The origin of Yong Tau Foo since 30 years ago, from Restaurant Foong Foong~

Teh-ing air mata kuching man.

Wantan mee in Petaling Street.

Saint Cinomman cheese roll!! Drool Andrea, droolllll~

I-am-here-to-make-you-FAT Papa Beard so-sinful-yet-oh-so-yummy Cream Puff...

*I just discovered that this jelly is not found anywhere else except KL and Johor!! Poor deprived non-Johor and non-KL souls...*

...while all the time looking out for correct moments to capture absolutely wrong looking pictures...

Dang... I'll get him next time...

...and of course, girls BEING girls, we shine at the opportunity to peacock in front of the camera~

Differentiate our hands...

...then integrate them back. Think Physic, know Physic!!

Oh, sushi!!

...I am finally going back to Melacca today!!

To be honest, we are rather reluctant to go back to Melacca as the H1N1 case there is one of the worst. I came back and a few people tried to keep away from me. Gits... But still, do keep your finger cross they give us another week of of H1N1 break!! Or else, see you end of this month then!! I return home only at Merdeka period.

Till then,

Sayonara~!

When life gives you lemon, you make lemonade. When life gives you physic...

2009-08-05T22:52:00.008+08:00

...do you make physicade???

Nope, my post has nothing to do with Physic. Just for the sake of randoming around nothing better to do...
No wait, that's a lie. I have LoTs of tutorials to do, the only problem is..I don’t know how to do!! Equations equations... Errrr.. V=IR and P=IV… Eh ehhh.... Integration of Power=Energy... Or is it the other way round??? Neurons in my brains, I command you to connect!!
Oh somebody, ~~kill~~ help me!!

X.X

Ah me… If I die, then I shall let H1N1 in UTeM do the dirty job… Might as well enjoy myself to the max while in KL then. Amen to that!

And I am mighty glad that I came back to town just in time for...
PC fair!!!

Lookie at what I had purchased from PC fair~

My new external hardisk and cooling fan~

The wait I had to endure, months of fantasizing and the agony of saving every tiny little cent to get my hands on these babies weh…! Even though they cost wayyyy more than expected and broke my budget (huhu~!), I will protect them with my life!!

*ting ting*

Now it's question time~!
If you are broke and still needed to stay somewhere near your new babies, what will you do??

The most effective way is to...? (your answer here)

*

*

*

*

*

*

(my answer here!!!)...drag your bestie to your house on Tuesday to protect your babies along with you!!! Muahahaha!!

More preview of what we did to keep you in suspense!! Hoho!!

*mar mar mar*

Jeng jeng Jeng!!

Some doomed potatoes we grabbed along the way~

And some puir chicken we trussed up and enhanced with boob implants...

Here, we shall leave Deniece to continue with the full story~ Hoho!!

P/s: awww... I miss you much too!! =)

*Exit gracefully*

Next!!

More food~~

Nearly-finished-eaten baked quince pie with, uh...something nice and tasty on top!!

Haha, I don't know what was the ingredient because...it was baked by by Dip 3/08~

I was up in the kitchen to say hi to Dip 3/08... and to finish up their tasty tasty pie!!!!!
Yum yum....

When accounts are finally completed, it's... picture time!!

College life won't be so meaningful if it wasn't for you girls... Every moment with you girls are priceless...
(No, you shall NOT make me teary again...)

Ivan darling and I...
O.o... I didn't know I was that short...

Miss Photographer, Canasder Sek, taking a break...

And not forgetting...

...Ben Ben!! What can I do without you?? Oh, I want to add something here... *ahem ahem*

From the moments you kept laughing and calling me 'Aunty', to the never ending ketuk-king I received from you, and to all the times I was caught by my lecturer because I was texting you during his drop-dead-boring lectures... From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.. Thank you for constantly updating me with bits and pieces of news about the college, and thank you for just being there to keep in touch...

*Happy enough?? I don't usually say such nice thank yous to people who complaints all the time... Savour the moments!!*

Last moments with Mamak Gang...

Grandfather refuse to take picture with us, but prefer to get high at 18++ sex scene . Ah well...

To those who are too shy to cam-whore/I didn't put up your picture because it was too blur/ simply refuse to have their picture taken, like someone above - A big hug to you people!!

Till we meet again!! Which will be end of this month, I hope!! ;)

I am up early today... And I want my pendrive back!!

2009-08-04T09:01:00.008+08:00

Ya... I am desperate to post some pictures, so I ravage some memories from my honey, a.k.a handphone...

Please take note... The pictures that you are going to feast your eyes upon soon are not simply any pictures. They are resulted from the prefect hormonal blend of Girl + Mirrors + Boring Orientation speeches + Crazy Roomies as mengada kes as her...

BEHOLD....

We were at point of dying during the orientation week... Thank God for technologies, we were saved!! Of course, my hp camera being only 2 megapixel, the quality leaves much to be desire. I neeeed a new camera...
Where is all my money disappearing to????? T.T

More girly photos~~

Miss UTeM in KL~

2009-08-03T10:10:00.010+08:00

Hello people!! Here I am, back in KL!! For the week, at least...
The best thing? I can finally online! Yay!!
You can't imagine the torture, the anguish, the pain of being internet-less..! Huhu~~ I miss me kitty and every you human being I left behind.
Yo, all you human beings out there!! Keep in touch!! I miss you all so so much~!

This holiday was quite sudden, as UTeM suddenly shut down due to 3 confirmed H1N1 case...
Sweat-ness I tell you... They kick us all out from the hostel and force us to go home, whether we want to go or not. And we got hear the news...one day before!! Fhui, gotta salute the way government department works~
The worst thing? It was so sudden that...no one is free to entertain me, NO ONE...
Uni folks all run/fly back to their hometown, YTL folks having their sem 2 finals, others have work, college, or simply broke yada yada...

You gotta hate it when that happens. Curse you, bad timing!!

And another reason to curse bad timing...
I was so in rush that I forgot my pendrive...WHICH HAVE ALL MY PICTURES IN IT...
*Speechless*
So... Cannot blog, cannot go out, cannot even eat cos I have put on weight in Melacca.........

I am going to be bored to death... roar...

Farewell, my friends...

2009-06-25T12:28:00.009+08:00

On 19th June 2009, my university application finally came out. And I found out that I was offered a course of Electronic Engineering in UTeM, Melacca.

This shocking news came unexpectedly, and I protest heatedly againts it. I am a bio student, why the heck am I given a physhic related subject for? Besides, I hate physhic. Physhic cheated me out of my A (I thought I could score at least A2, but I ended up with a big..ugly..B.). But then dad talked to me, asking me why not consider the offer first and try it out before making up my mind.

"Then why you send me to hotel management for, if all the while you meant me to go to university?"

"I send you there because I want you to learn. No knowledge is ever wasted, as you will apply it at some point of your life. You have experience all sort of new things within the hotel right?"

And indeed, I have. I have learn how to cook and bake, I have learn how to groom myself up, I learn how to create beautiful things with my hands...I have learn so many things I could not have known otherwise! And I made friends that will always be in my heart... I am going to give this course a try... After all, I was given the opportunity to study something new. Who to say I don't like something until I learn it, try it, experience it? Only then will I make my ultimate decision: to study engineering or to go back to Hotel Management.

I am so so sorry people, for telling you last minute I am leaving KL tomorrow. It is not that I do not want to tell...I could not bring myself to tell. It will make me just so much harder to leave! I love you all so much~! I am leaving behind everyone that I ever known, everyone I truly care for...to take up a course that I cannot choose. Yet sometimes in life we have to tread alone, to know what the future holds for us...and God's purpose. And whatever God's plan is for me, I know I am on the way of discovering it.

Friends of my life... I thank you for coloring my life with your presences and building me to what I am today. Here is my last words~some cheezy 'miss me not' lines or things I'd never tell...till today.

Deniece...
Thanks for staying close to me despite everything. And I am real glad you drag me to church to being your victim when sermons get tad boring. I'll come back occasionally. And when I back, your time is mine... Everyone read that onot?? Don't you snatch Deniece away!! I gonna miss you like crazy, woman...

Ivy…
I hope you are really really sure you want to study science in msu. Your university offer will come, just a bit later. Nevertheless, I wish you all the best. I complained of you going so far to Shah Alam, now it seems like I am a hypocrite here. Haha! You are a truly good friend, Ivy. Tell me when you are on holidays, ok?

Kylie...
You b….. Act so good I didn’t even know that you know!! GM, thanks for all your consideration, reminders and prompts, I appreciate it a lot! More than you think. But Kylie, remember that you must never go overboard with your teasing. There is only a very fine line between teasing and being mean. You can hurt the people around you. Love them instead. It is not enough to show that you care. Respect must be there too. Be sincere, and you’ll have true friends for life~ ;)

Syeqa…
I gonna miss walking to LRT with you, sitting together gether on the way home. You must have had the hardest time to keep silent, I don’t blame you. Babe, you are my listening ears where I pour out secrets and problems, and nobody is as patient as you. Be happy…live life to the fullest, ok? You are beautiful. Fulls stop.

Canasder...
You are the one I am most reluctant to tell, do you know that? It was so SO hard for you and me!! We had so many plans, so many dreams for our training in Cameron (which may be no longer possible for me). I really appreciate you made time for me to accompany my last moments before leaving to Melacca. Dang you! You are making me emo again!! Don’t cry…and don’t ever stop asking question k, Sek Sin Dear? That’s the way you will learn things. Stop scandaling with guys dy and smile always~!!

Kisses and hugs to all the girls!!!!!

Ben Ben...
Haha. Hope you are regretting every evil thing you did to me, bugger you. Thanks for your cute cute pillow!! It was really unexpected!! :’)… I’m thankful to have a friend like you. I know you care, even though you refuse to show it. Take care of Canasder for me, alright?

P/s: Try not to eat like a hungry ghost… Learn to appreciate the fooood~

Nigel…
I am wondering when you offered to carry my stuff, were you actually trying to hide what you bought for me?? But no matters..Thank you lots for Mr Flat Square!! I love it love it LOVE IT to death!! Keep in touch Nigel! Sorry for my inconsistency in replying. Dad rampas-ed my hp because I haven’t packed yet… SwtX1000 … Life is hard with your ex-teacher, you know…

Leow...
Now I know how you are feeling. I am leaving earlier than you, so that makes me the VIP. Haha~ Truly sorry for ffk-ing two outings with you. Thank god you didn’t balas dendam but made time to come out today!! I had a great time food hopping, tall guy!! XD

*Ceh, Canasder cannot be hyper want meh? Hate you…*

Last but certainly not least… Jon
Sayang, there is nothing to say that you don’t already know… And you know where my heart stands… Just one question: Will you wait for me?

There are, of course, so many more I wish I could mention. So many great people I have met, but now I have to let go-Mr Chiang, Chef Collin, Mr Alex...Friends from Dip1/09, college seniors, Youth, Aikido.. I love you guys so much! Where I can’t be there with you when you need me, I will be with you in spirit. Keep in touch. Goodbye~

Mr Flat Square by Nigel and Ben Ben... Thank you!! I am going to sleep with it tonight;)

My Saturdays~~

2009-06-20T15:46:00.007+08:00

For the last few weeks, my Saturdays had always been occupied...
First there was Samuel and Lena's wedding... I would blog about it, since it my very first wedding invitation that was address to moi~

But my F&B lecturer, Mr Chiang, borrowed my pendrive at the wrong moment, and have yet to return... Mr Chiang, I blame you for not being able to blog properly!! Roar!!!

I have to resort to posting their wedding invitation instead...

Aww~~

Ah well, you can get more stories and scandalous pictures on Deniece's blog!

That was just one Saturday... Now, let's see how I spend the rest of my Saturdays!!

Aha!! Before that, allow me to show you something...

Lookie!!

Aren't they cute?
Aren't they sweet??
Aren't they such tinny colorful delightful little balls?????

Did you know...that those 'delightful little balls' are responsible of turning these clean happy boys...

....into smelly sweaty boys???
Ew ew... Stinkay~~~!!

Just unite 500 of them together and fill them up into markers...

...you'll get injuries like these!!

Poor Ann...

...or this!!

Argh!!! Poor me!!

Yea.... Let me introduce the source of agony, the source of stinkiness~

Paintball!!

Where everyone who have legs to run away from colorful bullets and anyone who have hands to shoot them CAN PLAY!!

...Including chinese Taliban...

...and cute cute girls!! Bwahaha!!

Next Saturday-13/6/09...

My college organized a badminton tournament...which I took part!! Haha, think I can't play le?? I may lose, but I still can play!!

*Mr Chiang, I blame you again!! Most of the badminton tournament pictures are in my pendrive...*

I shall start with the girls...

Aainaa, me, Syeqa, Canasder... Missing Kylie who had ran off somewhere~

First double match win for Dip 1/09- Ivan and Leon!!

Seniors bulling Juniors

That's Nigel and Ben Ben versus Tarzan and ~~Jofree~~ ~~Jofrey~~ ~~Jofri~~ Jo...

And the winner of them all, the guy with cacated peace sign-
Mr Scandal Alex Chang!!

And everyone would like to dedicate their winning to...

...the ~~screaming~~ support of Dip1/09 cheerleaders!! I tell you, the ~~voice~~ cheer they gave~

Even though Bensen end up breaking his tendon and my class didn't win, it was fun!! (I doubt it in Bensen's case though.)... I forgotten how much I love sports, and I certainly do miss it...

My new 'Never Give Up Sports' bottle shall serve as a reminder... ;)

Monthly college activities always falls on Saturdays.. We had Talent Quest last month...and here's just a short post to congratulate our Superstar, Izz~

Fuiyoh, heartfelt performance weh...

Just in case you are wondering why U Keong was holding a different poster instead of supporting Izz like the rest...

This must be three best groomed beggars ever seen...

Some nerds that came along to watch the performances...

...Nerd Teddy and Nerd Chung Yung!!

Before Kylie accuse me being bias for not putting up her lovely face...

And groupie!!

All the participants of Talent Quest!! Which is equivalent to 30% of the college... Hee~

And so, after that continuous weeks of occupied Saturdays, I decided to stay at home today to finish up my assignments...

Ok...said I want to finish only, but in reality I ended up completing...

More crafts!!

And the best thing that happen... Dad bought me a new oven!! XD

Finally, after weeks and weeks of waiting!! Needless to say, my whole morning were spent cleaning up the kitchen looking for space for this hot mama...

Nestling comfortably beside the microwave~

I haven't started using hot mama yet, but I shall be on a baking spree soon, after I get used to the tiny little functions and knobs. I guess from now on when I say I am 'not free', you will know what I am doing.
Treat me good and I'll shall stuff you fat!! =D

Kitchen Class-Roast chicken with tarragon butter and beef bacon on top. Yum~

*P/s: I discovered today (Monday) that Mr Chiang had actually passed my pendrive to Miss Canasder last Thursday, but that woman took it home & DIDN"T SAY A THING TO ME... You evil woman..
Sorry Mr Chiang~~~ I shall punish Canasder for you. *Spank spank!!*

Obsession~

2009-05-28T21:03:00.006+08:00

I currently suffering from...craft attack syndrome~
And when I am in my mania-mood, nothing else can distract me... So assignments, you can take the back seat, muahahahaha!!

Crafts and tools of my ~~mania~~ trade

Let's see what I can create this time... Will show off my labours once it's done XD...
So long for now!!

Mr Baban.

2009-05-20T22:08:00.007+08:00

My this round of fever-cum-flu-cum-cough seems, for some reason I myself also do not understand, to be heightening my chocolate addiction. So much so that now I am addicted to everything chocolate~ Chocolate spread, chocolate dips, chocolate smoothie (yea, so I am still taking ice...sue me!!) and chocolate soft toy!! Meet Mr Baban, my new chocolate-smell smiley bun bun!!

Spot and identify Mr Baban!!

And there you go... Mr Baban!!

Unfortunately, I am not really interested in opened-eyes design... I prefer winky-eye Mr Baban... Nigel had not only offer to buy, but also to exchange a new Mr Baban for me~ Thank you every much, Nigel!! I owe you one!!=) And waiting impatiently for my Winky-Baban!! XD

And oh, to all my brothers and sisters of chocolate slaves out there!! I got a good news for you!!
Something interesting I learned from Youth Alpha last week:-

Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Read that?? Beaaaaaans... Beans=vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Cane or beets, both are PLANTS...which places them in the vegetable category. Hence, that makes chocolate a vegetable.

If I am to go further, some chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. Milk is good for your bones, so candy bars are a health food.

Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

For the weight conscious, don't leave chocolate out from your list. Make sure you a chocolate bar before each meal. For you see, eating chocolate take the edge off your appetite. You'll eat less.

And the best is... Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. For this, you have me as a living prove....

So what you waiting for?? Start eating your vegetables today!!

Caret Kitchen Rulez....

2009-05-13T19:23:00.012+08:00

Dip 1/09 had its first Kitchen Class on last Friday, and many fun we had in the kitchen!

Unrotting On The Go!!

2009-05-07T22:44:00.022+08:00

Ooops, sorry folks for being MIA again...
All credites goes to the college's lecturers who, for some reason, seems to regard us as exam and assignment machines... 6 assignments at one go!! The horror of it I tell you...!!
Besides that, our finals had to be BEFORE and AFTER our super stinkily short one week semester-cum-study break...

Unfairnessss...!! Guess I can kiss goodbye to travelling days already..T.T...

Oh well, disaster comes as disaster goes. Hmm, I said I was going to blog about the Cambodia trip, right? But I kinda lost the mood aldy...since I travelled there like, I dunno, abergazzilion weeks ago?
So I shall give some updates on what happened during the the stinky pendek semester break instead~!

AT HOME....

Wee~~ Finally, I got my own lappie!!! It used to be bro's slave, until I came by and rescue it..

My uber sexay lappie!! Yeaaah, this baby is mine, all mInE~

Thanks to Mr Albert Lim for helping me choosing the skin!! ;)

And Dad's ugly fishes continue to thrive and eat...

More victims=more babies for me!!

But somehow, they keep on dying... :(..This is my 4th batch of attempt to keep them alive... I.Will.Not.Give.Up!! Roar!!!

My current addiction... Card crafts!!

Spotted this seriously cunt-ted handicraft book in PWTC book fair which I tag along with Syeqa and Bensen.

It is really useful when you are lacked of ideas (or in my case, cash...) what to buy for your friends or loved ones~ Making your own cards gives a personal touch to your presents, agree??

Tada!!
Pretty chicks and cute fishes~ XD

Oh oh, I must publicized this!!! Muahaha!!

I ran 11km!!!! *clap clap clap!!**standing oveation*

Ok fine, I admit... I only had strenght for the first 5km before I gave up... Ended up exchanging lame jokes with Xin Yi and Caleb for the next 6km... Haha!! But it was fun!! Even though I got so tired after that I nearly pengsan and died during Easter sermon...X.X

Yay, another goal completed to cross out from my list!! With 1km extra thrown in somemore... Ceh~wah...

OUTINGS...

I had a fantabuluous time catching up with friends during the hols!

Among them are...

Ivylicious~!!

We had slumber party in my house last Thursday, had clubbing the night before, and during the afternoon went back to PESS with Deniece who ffk us to Penang after that...

My cutest, smartest, eviltest, manja-est kitty in the world!!

So anyways, this was us before we went clubbing in Thai Club...

This was during...

Drunken aim....

Nearly suffocated on the stinky cigarette smoke on our hair weh... Smellllllly, ughhhhh!!
But haha!! I no longer clubbing virgin dy... That's for you, Caleb!! Sue me!!

Ivy babe, thanks for taking care of me~ Miss you, muah!!

Go-stan back to last Tuesday...

College mates outing!! We went for pool party in Syeqa's house~

Some of us could not swim because of some complication problems...which I shall not mention here (dream on!!)... So we became...Photographers of the Day!!

Some random resident posing with Girl Cat and Boy Cat~ I had no idea where he pop out from and suddenly take picture with us... O.o

The swimmers clowning about...

Ivan the skinny darling showing off his hot bod...

After hours of sun-tanning and a torturous session of off-keyed piano playing, we went for bowling in Ampang Point...

Sneak Preview!!

Three days in Cambodia left us exhausted and tanned, but that had not dampened our enthusiasm to travel more and more...
...and much, much more!! Here are some spoilers to pique your interest before launching into a more detailed one~ ;)

Words cannot do justice to the architectural beauty and intricacy of Angkor Wat…

...that left us in awe as we made our way through the ruins and broken statues that adorn the temples’ ground.

Nor could I describe the sensation that overwhelmed me...

...when we visited the fishing village and experienced the genuine warmth of the sea natives...even though they are stricken with poverty and desperation just to continue living.

I see it in the eyes and lips of the people who didn't perceived us as money-making machine. I see it in the actions and gestures of the kind locals who assisted us sincerely. I feel the warmth glowing beneath the will to live...

...and that's what made me smile.

I welcome you to Siam Reap!!

There she goes again....

2009-03-19T23:30:00.001+08:00

And so, there goes Joye again...in another travelling spree~

This time, she is off to...

...Angkor Wat!!

Wow... it's so picturesque, that horse...

Grrreat, I guess I can kiss my piggy bank goodbye, cause there is no way I'm gonna leave Cambodia empty handed...

SyOik GiLeR dei!! XD

My Fur+Scales Responsibility

2009-03-18T01:35:00.006+08:00

Kitty was missing for the whole day. With extremely imaginative impossible possibilities hounding my mind, I searched frantically for her everywhere- under the sofa, under the bed, behind cupboards, in the washing machine... You'll think that a full-grown furry cat in such a kecik house would be easy to find, right?

WRONG!!

I was too busy assuming that she’s hiding among the furnitures that I forgot to look...

...up~

Smackin' cat... She was looking at me looking for her the whole time!!
So slumber somemore, ishh...

But awww...aren't she cute?
My smartest-eviltest-cutest-manjatest kitty in the whole world!!

Oh, and let’s welcome my five new additions to the family!!

Some fishes I had salvaged from becoming food for the, er -what’s the name of those big ugley fishes Dad bought?- cannibal fishes.

Wonder how long can they last with Kitty around...

Goodbye to Hell... Hell~lo New Life!!

2009-03-15T23:49:00.022+08:00

STPM results are finally out. I was super nervous til I couldn't sleep the night before...which was quite a dumb thing to do, actually. I totally zoned out during class and end up nodding in class...with my eyes open!!!! Wow, I shock even myself sometimes~

Anyway, let’s summaries: Skipped IELTs...Everyone wishing goodluck...Ky Lie demanding I text her my results asap...almost got maim tripping over sofa...silently swearing at Bensen for saying I'm going to cry...nearly killed myself crossing the road...reached school safely... got high with friends and teachers...told everyone that I am an air stewardess from FlyerAir(some believed, by the way)...took results...Pn Irni breathing down my neck...opened it...

Wee~ crap… Not a single A!! For the second time in my life, I lose out to Stinky! T.T...

Oh well, go figures... Didn’t study really hard for STPM nyways, so can’t complaint about my results. But it put me into a dilemma here… When will I finish canceling the items on my wish list lar?? Hmm, maybe I should change it to more realistic goals...

So, jogging in the rain with me, anyone?

Uu~ Sexy air stewardesses!!*ignore the ke le feis on the right*

I’d just realize Miss Kit, my college lecturer, actually reads my blog… Hi Ms Kit!! Leave a comment for me when you visit my blog again, okies?? ;)

And for your honor, Miss Kit… Another video!!

To help you understand what had happened- We were send out to do hotel surveying and were to report back what we had observed. The Grand Season Hotel team was the last to come back and they were subjected to more cruel, cruel punishment.

Ngek... As usual, it is always more fun to be the observer than the kena-rer.

People are Not as Complicated as They Seems, Sometimes All We Need is A Little Understanding... And Brains.

Scene: It was nearly midnight. I was waiting for the lift at the ground floor of my apartment, alone. Suddenly, a big bald African guy ambled in and gave me this long stare.

Black Man (BM): Hi.

Hesitated for a moment, mind kept playing scenes from the “Little Man”. Plus I'm allergic to bald guys. To respond, or not to respond? But since I’m learning the art of hospitality, so…

Me: *Lame smile*

BM: What is your name?

Me: Joe.. uh I mean, Joey.

BM: Hi Joey! My name is Kyle.

Me: ~~Like hell I care?~~ *smile*

Awkward pause… Why is the stupid lift taking so darn long?

BM: How old are you?

Me: Sixteen.

BM: Oh, so are you working or studying?

Me: Studying.

BM: High school or college?

Me: School.

Lift finally arrived. Nosey Parker had to stop prying.

…or not.

BM: So…are you local or Korean?

Me: I’m a Japanese.

BM: Oh you are Japanese! Then do you live here? Or just visiting?

Me: I live here, with my boyfriend.

BM: *Disbelieving tone* You live with your boyfriend?

Me: Yes, of course! Should I not? *brightest fake smile ever*… Goodbye, have a nice day!

Fresco Ristaurante~

What is the best thing to do to a RM20?

Eat it? Lick it?? Smell it???

Yes folks, all of it!! We did just that when the seniors had cook-off in Ritz-Carlton's room. (Of course la, I mean we ate their food, not the money.).. Everything was done in super formal and professional way with five star standard. And the ambidance was just superb!! So much so to the extend we felt like monkeys seized from jungle, learning how to use fork and spoon.

Well... kinda...

~~Monkey 1~~ Table mate 1 - Ah Ben.

Canasder!! My another table mate! And that's the renowned Ritz-Carlton’s cobalt blue glass/crytal/goblet/whatever... You can never find these cups in any hotels except in Ritz. If there are, that means they're fake. I highly recommend you to break it~

Menu of the Day

And then...

The appetizer~

Dancing Prawn with Cocktail Sauce. I also dunno why izzit call dancing prawn when it's already dead, dun ask me!! All I know is that it's really hard to eat it with fork!! Yes, we used big clumsy FORK!!

This is one reason why I rarely go for fine-dining...

...really em sei tak lor to ruin the decoration. Lovely, right?

But we humans....must EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The main course was simply delish~!!

Oh whoa, tell you something... Damn susah to use fork and knife to eat chicken weh!! I am true born and true breed fingers and KFC woman, rawr!!

But the most fantabuluous of them all...

Wee~ isn't this yummy?? Dates Puding served with Caramel Sauce & Vanilla Ice Cream!! Anything that goes with ice-cream guarantee gets a 10/10!!!! XD

However, the drinks were tad disappointing…

Nada alcohol!! Nada cocktail!!!! Only fruit juice were served!! I think it's something about Daddy D being allergic to alcohol...

How sad is that????????????

I ordered two mocktails… The one on the picture before this (with the mint leaves) is called Splash... While this one is called the Miscela Di Banana.

Monkeys mar… Bananas lor, hehe~

O.o... The VIPs also made an appearance. General Manager of Ritz-Carlton if not mistaken... Spot him/her!!

Masterminds behind the scene~~

And our lovely waitresses!!

It’ll be our turn next to do cook-off the next semester. And I will assure you that it’ll be far better than what I have shown you!! (ceh ceh~)... So come to my cook-off and give me support!! You’ll get nothing but the best!!

Where else can you get RM20 for fine-dining anyways??

Of pain and agony

2009-02-06T01:05:00.009+08:00

Every being of nerve on my feet is on fire. My toes hurts, my ankle hurts, even my nails hurts…

Oh wee~ On Chinese New Year too.

“I give you till 3 February to change yourself. I want your hairstyle, your shoes and everything that I had ask you to change, change. If I find you looking the same as you are now, I am personally going to kill you. Is that okay?”

(Daddy Desmond, tossing out commands in his first class.)

I have to change my heels if I am to wear skirt. Apparently my old heels are okay ONLY when wearing with long pants. Oh well, I don't deny that. It does look teeny weeny bit auntyish… Who cares, it is super padded and comfortable! See what happens when you chose comfort over fashion? New shoes! New wounds!! New scars!!!!!! ArGh!!

The Penguin Sisters~

Cugly=comfortable+ugly... I miss my old heels T.T

Oh God, do I have to suffer so? I hate my new heels!! No kenot, this is a disgrace to the Ter family!! I can’t lose out to a crummy heels~!! I gonna train myself to wear high heels from now on. I am crushed and squashed, but not defeated!!! So come on New Heels, do your worst!!

But oh, today I accomplished something beyond extraordinary!! I finally bought blusher!! HAHA!! Given my tendency-to-flush-by-itself cheeks, I usually skip that step. However, according to Daddy D, the girls were ‘too pale’. Yea well, since I hate lipstick, blusher sounds like a better alternative. Unfortunately, I only knew the basics. The wely wely basic. To be master of applying tasteful makeup, haihz… heaven knows when la. I even needed help sticking falsies once. It was an agonizing process weh!! So..gooey..sticky..hoRROr!!!

Lalala~ In an unrelated incident…

More videos of Daddy D’s cruel, cruel punishment~

To help you along- Joanne, Benji and Canasder were sentenced to imitate a donkey, chicken and hippo respectively… And that's Daddy D talking at the background.

I tahan my laughter kau kau, you know… No more ugly laughter, mohoho!! Enjoy!!

Flu Attack

2009-01-27T14:02:00.010+08:00

Being sick during holidays always put me in a thoughtful mood, having too much time on my hands to reflect and think. Lying on the bed making myself more emo by reading emo poems, I came across this lovely verse, by Leigh Hunt...

Abou Ben Adhem -may his tribe increase-
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich and like a lily in bloom,
An angel...writing in a book of gold.

Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said:
“What writest thou?” The vision raised its head,
With a look made all of sweet accord, answered:
“The names of those who love the Lord.”
“And is mine one?” said Abou.
“Nay, not so,” replied the angel.

Abou spoke more low, but cheerily still;
And said, “I pray thee, then,
write me as one that loves his fellowmen.”
The angel wrote, and vanished.

The next night it came again with a great wakening light,
And shewed the names whom love of God had blessed,
And lo!
Ben Adhem’s name led the all the rest.

Beautiful, right? (Don't look at me sanguine sanguine like, I am also capable of being serious wan o~) This time, it made me realize... How selfish I could be at times, till I forgot about the people around me. I care only for my own comfort, but none for others. In this modern era of science and technology, we are often told that it is a competitive world out there; you gotta be aggressive and fight or lose out.

Yet sometimes, the loser- who has nothing compared to you- seems to have everything you could ever wish for, everything your money can’t buy...
Rich in happiness, well-off in friends, life filled with love, laughter and contentment...

Contentment with everything. That...is what I want.

Happy Chinese New Year!! May it bring you prosperity and everything you wished for...

BECAUSE...I finally got you out.

2009-01-24T17:20:00.021+08:00

Deniece was free (finally!) on Friday, so obviously must find an excuse for an outing to drag her out, wee~!

For once, I have no words to describe the fun we had... I shall let the pictures do [most of] the talking instead!!

.

.

.

.

.

Because I was the earliest...

I had nothing else to do.

Chinese New Year decoration in Time Square.

Some cheeky kid... Trying to grab the flowers to throw at his sister...

Some big kids...

...giving me the standard Asian Sign (credit goes to Deniece!!).
Though I still have no idea what is Tai Wern trying to indicate... The Hamsap Sign? Toulam Sign??

Because we had to wait for Jon to fetch his sister and make up his mind whether to join us or not...

I love this photo!! You have no idea how much trouble I had to go through to ask those humans to pose weh...
UuuUu... Vicky have a fuller janggut!!

Jon made it in the end, after a very vERy long time... But Wai Ling couldn't come cos her boyfriend had a cook out...
At times like this, how you wish that some things had never change.

Because we couldn't make up our mind where to eat fast enough, I suggested...

Shabu Shabu!! Hehe, still addicted to steamboat~

Victor, Deniece and Smileys!!

Fake human beings and bitten Alien Smiley! (compare it with the smiley before)

Tai Wern and Jon's hangus-ted tomyam and egg steamboat which turned their shiny pot black.. Funnily, it taste quite nice la, though it smelt like, well... you know when you got lazy and didn't wash your socks for a week?
Yea, I believe it stank the whole restaurant, that smell...

Because Deniece was laughing like a hyena...

I think Leonard was in the process of deforming his smiley..

None of the pictures you took was clear, woman!!

Oooo but then again maybe blur photos aren't too bad after all~

Because ~~we ate too full we needed to work off our fats!!~~... Ummm... ~~Because I wanted to show off my bowling skill and attract leng zhais...~~ well, we memang plan to go bowling anyway~

It was already 10pm when we started playing.

Colourful shoes!! I wanna curi mine home!!

Waiting for Vicky to make a strike...

OMG just look at the shoes, the sHOEs!! Super uber cute right????

Presenting Deniece and Licky and bright striking bowling ball!!

Luvv the colours!!♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Because evil Kuek gave me a heart attack when I dropped the ball and he clutched his toes...

Ok fine, because I was a bowling virgin... WAS!!One day I am going to score higher than Ed.. Muahaha!!

But never in my entire life had I dream I would be so proud for making 9 straight longkangs in a row~ Beat me! XD

I see that ray of light, and it's shining on my Destiny.

I am training to be... A Professional!!

2009-01-21T23:32:00.015+08:00

Ms Sharifah (English lecturer-cum-liberian-cum-assistant manager) handed us the Student Handbook, so now we are expected to understand what we are going through and obey the college rules. I shall elucidate on the professional grooming part, since that is what concerns me most.
(Grooming=appearance ma, obviously it affect me most. I’m not a girl for nothing, you know.)

…Every student is responsible to convey a professional image by adhering to the YLT-International College of Hotel Management grooming standards. Please take pride and great care in your personal appearance as it is important that you project a polished, well groomed and professional image at all times. While these standards are not at all inclusive, if any lecturer or faculty member believes you display an unprofessional appearance, you will be ~~exterminated immediately~~ counseled. Our appearance is dress when the need arise… HuHH..? ALL have to wear dresses in time of need??? Oh...dress standard will change when the need arise. Ah ceh… It is every student responsibility to adhere to the college grooming standard. YTL-ICHM is committed to creating an environment where there is mutual respect for one another and respect for ourselves. To create a positive learning environment and an attitude that…that…ZZZzzzzzz…

*just in case I am sued for plagiarism, this is an excerpt from YTL-ICHM Student Handbook.*

Anyways, this is what I had summaries (beats me whoever can read 25 pages of this crap la)…

The Seven Commandments for Professional Appearance

1. Thou shall not dye thy hair.

2. Thou shall not wear more than one pair of earrings.

3. Thou shall wear lipstick no matter how unpleasant it make you feel.

4. Thou should not have nail polish on. And no pontianak fingernails (This is for safety reason just in case you decide to attack the lecturers).

5. Thou shall not use thy handphone, not even under the desk… Lecturers are equipped with eyes behind their head.

6. Thou shall wear thy ugly covered up shoes forever and ever.

7. Thou shall look neat in thy uncomfortable uniform forever and ever too.

The uniform also includes a blazer too. You’ll think it’s stupid to wear blazer, right? After all, Malaysia=Sun=Hot. Which xiao fella want to overheat themselves piling on more clothes? Yea, I though like that too, being 7 years in secondary school pitying prefects cooking in their blazer day after day.

UNTIL…

I met lecturers who think anything more than 20 degree is hot; hotel staffs who can stroll around Antarctica with nothing but shirt and tie. ARGH!! Hotel~ Cold!!!! Butt freezing!!! Gimme protection!! Gimme blazer!! Gimme anything air-cond proof!!

Oh yes, I’m anak Malaysian to the core. Malaysia heat boleh!! Rawr rawr!!

But the uniforms are super chun!! We will be given a complete set of chef clothing too!!

Complete with

Chef Charlotte!! Senior from Dip 3/08 (Translation:Diploma course, 3rd intake, 2008)

Now only I realize neckerchief is actually to prevent sweat from dipping down into the food. But I still have no idea what is the function of tiny apron and safety boots. But I believe it is to save your toes from being chop off if you drop your knife. Those boots are made from steel wan weh! Jangan main-main. Make me mad, just one kick and you are a goner dy...

Wonder when is our turn to cook le? Can’t wait to test my skills on
a la cuisine style~

And how you know? Perhaps I’ll be your chef one day, and plan your meals. Don’t worry, my cooking is not bad actually. Fwo Yi said that I make the best spaghetti around, hohoho… Or perhaps she said that cos I was holding a knife at that time. But no matter~ I need testers to try out my dishes. So make me happy and I’ll stuff you silly!!

hint: I love chocolates~ *wink*

I am officially in college!!

2009-01-19T20:00:00.005+08:00

Today, I started my first day in college!!

This is our ~~babysister~~ lecturer, who will take care of us throughout our orientation...

Mr Desmond

And some punishment he tortured the guys with cos they didn’t get enough information about their classmate...

...that means us lo, hoho~

Cacat right? I think that horrible laughing is me, but not positive lar...

Just a bit on my new college~ Will blog about it more when we 'warm up' more with each other in the future. XD
