CNY celebration!!!

2012-01-27T13:41:00.000+08:00

I’m so HAPPY this whole week because it’s Chinese New Year-CNY!!!! Other than food, food, food and more food, there’s fun, fun and much more fun!!!! Okay, the downside being gaining pounds which I shall have to shed soon and being an inactive couch potato with a bigger butt…But then hey, it’s CNY!!!!! Whee!!!!!

So yes, eating out is the norm during festive holiday season but I shall dedicate this post to what my mum cooked during this period. I’m telling you it’s 10-stars standard, people!!! So proud of her…(And also she’ll stop cooking if I don’t show some appreciation… ROFL… Just kidding!!!! She has such dedication and awesome cooking skills, and has been cooking for us since when we were young so all of my siblings n I grew to abnormal Asian height… I mean, I’m a girl and I’m taller than 5’7’’!!! Hmm…. Well, I shall ask her to write a cook-book entitled “Food for Growth..Literally!!” soon.. Any interested buyers?? I shall offer a discounted price to the 1st 10 buyers with her signatures on the cover. Is that a good deal or what??)

1st day of CNY-

Another day-

So yes, I can’t recount the times in the past others had ask my siblings and I what did my mum fed us to be so tall and healthy.. We never knew how to answer then since we just, well, ate, but now that I looked at just the pictures, hey, no wonder!!! Lol… It’s true that pictures speak a thousand words!!!

This is for you mummy, you’re the BEST ~~among~~ over the best!!!!

Post exam holiday!!

2012-01-15T22:51:00.001+08:00

Let me start off this happy post by saying, we finished our one week of exam!!!!
…..and……
jumped straight to play-mode!!! Woohoo!!! Just after finishing our last paper, which is a practical assessment with live stations, we didn’t even wait to rest and went to have a fun time in Penang with roller-blading,(which I suck at sadly, just like ice-skating. Lol. There’s just something wrong with me on movable shoes. LOL) food and movie!!!

Me looking very happy in the car on the way to Penang.. Yay!!! You can feel my excitement right?? Hahaha…

As if travelling from Sp to Penang, from Penang back to SP wasn’t enough, we went from SP to Perlis the next day. Talk about 瞬间移动！ Hehe…

It was my first time being there and I’m having such a blast relaxing in Rachel’s super big house!!! I thought I was gonna get lost in her house alright?? It was THAT big!!! Haha, ok, fine, exaggerating a bit but it’s real big!! @.@ *Wide eyes*

So yes, the group of us comprising of Rachel, Youming, Gary, Kai Xin, Yee Wen and I went all over the place in Perlis having fun. We even went near the border and got some duty free chocolates. Okay, by some, I meant a hundred plus ringgit for me. If not for not having enough cash on me, I think I would have gone even more crazy. Lol.. I mean, check out what I bought!! Confirmed shopaholic. *stamp of authenticity*

Even bought myself a cute bag.. I got this bag because of that bear…. Hehehe… Cute right??? It was calling out to be adopted by me I’m telling you!!! Lol…So yeah, if you know me, you’d know I can’t stray far from food so check out the food we ate!!! Do drop by for some special Perlis ‘ikan bakar’ by the beach.. Mm mm!! You could even take a ferry to the Langkawi island just beside the stretch of restaurants..
In conclusion, this is how I spent my time after the exams!! You say it’s not much of a difference than how I spent my time before the exam?? Well….. Bingo!!! You got that right!!! Hahaha…. Oh wells, what can I say, 'whoops, I did it again’?? Lol…

How the Lees spent Dec 11'

2012-01-03T14:08:00.000+08:00

Before I start this post, please be forewarned that you might feel a tinge of jealousy or envy reading this or otherwise, feel yourself mildly salivating due to the food presented. All costs of reading further must the readers bear. You are warned.

LOL… So yes, wanna show you my mum’s cooking skill 1st. Presenting to you,
The Lees family Christmas meal!!! Woohoo!!!

Now now, this is just the start!! I AM myself jealous of…well, ourselves.. Lol… Oh, how oh how long must I take this journey of cooking before I gain enough experience to cook like my mum?? You’re awesome mummy!!!

Okay, then straight after celebrating Christmas, we flew to Sabah for our family trip!!! I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves!!

Wonderful right??? Hehehe… This is how we Lees party!!! Had great fun over the month…. But… *ba ba bam*

Now that I’m back…reality starts to sink in…. Oh dear, when am I gonna start studying for my exam????!! *gasp* Haha….

2011 comes to an end..

2011-12-24T03:06:00.000+08:00

Yes, it’s that time of the year every year where I celebrate birthday, 冬至, Christmas and New Year holiday-package-combo in just almost a week. Ain’t it fun? This time around I didn’t get to spend it with my usual group of ppl. But I thank Gerviene, Shih Lin, Rachel, Youming and Soo Huan for spending my b’day with me. It was MUCH better than spending it all cooped up in my room alone…most probably sleeping or watching shows… Lol… And my presents… Hehe… I totally love all the sincere cards and practical gifts for me. I think I’m at that age where I get all sentimental receiving written wishes and blessings... Lol.. Few years from now, I’ll probably get all mushy and cry looking at my gifts… And further down the road…..

Hahahaha…. I can almost imagine this progressive ~~evolvement~~ change…. LOL!!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

On another note, this was our fully DIY gift box for Youming!!! Everything, the gift contents inside, our b’day card, and the box was handmade!! Inside out!! SO proud!!! Looks oh-so-fine doesn’t it?? And yes, to prove the authenticity of our creativity and sincerity, you can see one part without the wrapper. Haha… Sign of it being genuine. And her gift?? Weighs by the kilogram. Lol… What is it you ask?? Well…. That shall be a funny memory and secret for Rachel and I…

So yup, everyone, have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

PS I’m on study break for my upcoming exams yet I’m travelling to Sabah few days from now!! I think I should refrain from going anywhere else.. But then, the fact that I’m in KL now is SOMEwhere in itself… O Lord, help me to study well for the exam?? Yet…. I’ll go play 1st for now!!

I’m real blessed!

2011-12-15T14:15:00.000+08:00

I’d have to admit first that I had quite a huge number of missed dental appointments for the last 2 years, but this year had been good. The previous 2 years wasn’t bad too though. I had so many nice and kind patients. Patients who appreciate what you’ve done for them, patients who are responsible and comes on time knowing how it helps us help them, patients who treat me as their child/ grandchild. I’ve had patients bringing me tens of fruits each time she comes, I’ve had patients bringing me kuih in the morning knowing I oversleep and skips breakfast sometimes, that same patient giving me ang pow for CNY, fresh vegetables from the garden, and even paid for a meal out. I’ve had patient who thank me so many times I feel embarrassed for not doing a better or faster work for them (not to say my job was slow or sloppy, or not to my best ability. I ALWAYS give my patient excellent dental service. Hehe.)

My patient today is was (still is??)a dental phobic. Scared of needles, scared of the sound of drills, scared of the overhead light, scared of too much water in the mouth. But when I told her how she was much better with the drillings and the needle and everything today, she said, “ Well, coz I trust in you a lot, and you’re an awesome dentist.” Wow. Talk about being sweet! Even when I gave an inferior alveolar nerve block which she said is scarily painful the last time she had it and closed her eyes, tight, anticipating the pain, it ended with her not feeling pain at all. Hehe. Not that my technique was better but she trusts me more I think. So proud of myself.

So yes, I am truly grateful for all the nice patients I had, and those currently under my care. It was a real memorable journey thus far and I shall push forth with my best foot forward (my left I think..hahaha…) until I become a Dr and even further down the path of life!! I am truly a blessed gal!!

PS Sorry aikmunn, I had patients that you wished you had. Hehe. (Whoops, sorry for the hehe…)

Oh yeah, as an after note, these were pasted along the corridors by our changing rooms in the dental building. Real nice isn’t it?? I hope all kids would know now how dentists are not so scary as they think and that we’re normal, nice ppl too!! Lol…

Great teeth for great smiles posters

나 건들지말라요!

2011-11-20T13:37:00.000+08:00

완전 화나서!! 너진짜…너무나쁜사람이아!!! 진짜싫어 !

Starting on a more melancholic mood, this is my current feeling and progress

Hehe, funny but totally true.
(Disclaimer: The snail was not harmed in the process of taking this picture)

On another happier note, happy birthday Wai Yan!! I know you won’t read this but still.. I had a really good time in Edo Ichi that night. And….I look awesome that day too… *proud and not shy about it!!* Hehe…

Me, Rachel and b’day girl-Wai Yan

Shortest post!

2011-11-12T10:05:00.001+08:00

Tis’ a week to celebrate! (Update done! There, I’m so proud!!)

Prof Hong ginseng chicken soup Korean shop…again!!

2011-10-27T12:46:00.000+08:00

If you’ve read my previous post, you’d have noticed that I’ve nothing but praise for this shop… I mean, the food is unbelievably good, the service is unbelievably fast, the price is reasonable and the owner there is unbelievably nice so, if I don’t go for it again since I’m back in KL would be…. UNBELIEVABLE right?? Hehehe… Also the fact that the owner always says I’m pretty and gives us extra food…. Lol….. Do do do do do go check it out ppl if you’re in Ampang Korean village… I’m like the unofficial food ambassador around….

Suddenly remembering that the last time we went, my dad had to skip watching a football match (without supporting his team) in order to eat with us and this time, it happened again… Haha… I have this ability to choose when to eat whenever his favourite team is playing… Who by the way, lost again this time…. So yes, I spared him the heartache…. again….. Hahahaha….

Oh, there’s a fun fair around my place since just last week!! yay!! I’ve never been to one since ages ago and we didn’t go to the one in SP after our movie night for Real Steel (which is an awesome show!!!) so I’m so excited!! And found the place so stuffy and full of ppl smoking cigarettes I might as well stand behind a lorry exhaust pipe… Sheesh… Such a disappointment… And boy, aren’t the tokens getting expensive!! It costs RM4 to get on any ride or play any booth games!! Total cutthroats!! Ended up not doing anything but went one round sucking in smokes… and sweat… EWWWW….. Hahaha…. Oh well, at least I can say, I went to a fun fair recently… Kekeke…

So yeah, that’s it for now…. Gonna show you my new look after my salon trip??

My look as of now…

What should I do with my hair though ppl, any ideas??

Grateful

2011-10-15T08:29:00.001+08:00

There’s so many things to thank God for just at the top of my head I’m bursting with gratefulness!! This week has been nothing but good…. Thank you x100000000!!! I’m sure all things will go well this year, it’s so exciting!!
So do let us not miss Your wave!! It’s gonna be worse than missing one’s own wedding…. *Which I hope I won’t… Better plan mine in the evening in case I overslept.. Lol…*

On another note, sigh, I should have should have should have… I’m missing by one…. What should I do to collect it?? Hmm…

PS This post is so cryptic only my mum will understand it… Hehe… Others who do, well, shh, let’s keep it this way?? Lol…..

Deviled eggs

2011-09-25T12:19:00.001+08:00

After my successful try on oatmeal chocolate and butterscotch soft cookies last time, I’ve had my try on deviled eggs this time…. It’s really easy actually, get hard boiled eggs, pepper, bacon, ham, mixed herbs, paprika powder, and mayonnaise and you’re done!! The recipe is very easy and the ingredients?? Optional… You can make do with just mayo and eggs I guess.. Only, the taste would be…. Egg salad only like…. Lol…. Oh wells, I think I do have a bit of a talent in cooking!! Haha… Think I did inherit some awesome traits from my Super-Wonder-mum!!!!! *wink wink* (mummy, if you do read this, you ARE terrific!!! Hehe….)

I made two plates of these and it was literally gone in minutes!! So proud… And yes, looks doesn’t matter, taste does alrights?? Hahaha… Ok ok, fine, both are important but I didn’t get to chill them enough… So yes!! I forgot to mention, chill them hours before bringing it to parties!!!! REMEMBER!! Freeze them if you have to!!!! Lol….

PS With me having flu and cough, I’m thankful I didn’t poison anyone with too much spices since the sprinkle of paprika and herbs is well, a sprinkle of my hands here and a sprinkle there and well, more sprinkles here and there…. Lol…..

Itchy hands off!!

2011-09-08T16:15:00.001+08:00

I’ll leave this post at the title to reader’s (yes, you) imagination….

…and will be at high risk getting misunderstood with nonsense like
“you met a pervert??!!!” huh??

Hahaha… No lar!!! It’s just that in dealing with Airasia, my itchy fingers took life on their own and cost me some loss in money and time, much gain in frustration, anger and even…. hatred… Yup ppl, but no worries, I’ve unlashed my bottled up emotion and vent it to poor unsuspecting innocent Rachel… Lol… Sorry…. *Who’s not poor…or innocent though… Hahaha… We’ve attained enlightenment in being indifferent after all* But all’s well now so I’m back to normal…….-ish….. Hehe….

And dear milky SX, if you’re reading this now….*SX kicks, punches and lashes out at being called just that* haha… Let’s test this out!!! You start your journey to the north-south while I’ll travel east-west and THEN let’s see whether we’ll finally meet at some intersection point alright?? Our miraculous parallelism ~~must~~ should be experimented!!! Our timing –the lack of it- must be kinda, somehow rare….. Lol….

Last year, fifth gear!!

2011-08-18T12:30:00.001+08:00

Can’t believe it’ll be my last year as a dental student… I still remember those memories from 5 years ago and here I am, 5 years later… looking exactly the same… Hehehe… (I highly doubt it….As a bonus, enclosed photos below!! )

Just came back SP for a few days and gonna go back KL again in a week plus for the Raya holiday… Am already missing KL and its food… *drools* Sad that I can’t go Jogoya though but then hey, I can always go there again next time right?? RIGHT?? RIGHT???!!!! Haha…. There’d better be patients for my clinics next week or else… “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned” *Thunder rumbles at the background* Hehehe…. Oh wells, just a short update since I’m lazy and wanna go back to my dramas now so… Adios!!

Me 5 years ago..somewhat…. Gave it the nostalgic feel… Hehe…

Toldcha I still look the same!! Hehehehe…..

Trip to Prof Hong Ginseng Chicken Soup Restaurant-Ampang

2011-07-25T13:55:00.001+08:00

So yes, if you’ve been following my blog, you’d know that my last post was on one spring chicken… *Lol* Well, my family and I went there on Saturday night to try out the place.. Since I’m such a Korean crazed fan, you’d better trust my judgement on all things Korean… from a local Malaysian standpoint of course… =p

My dad was kinda reluctant to go at 1st since he wanted to watch Malaysia-Singapore fight it out on the football field but then, anything for his daughter right?? *Aww…..* Btw, I’ve managed to reserve a place using Korean without stammering, a great feat huh?? Hahaha… But I got caught anyways since the boss’ wife went out to see me coz I can speak Korean so well… *Sigh, busted…* But she gave us 2 Kimchi fried rice for free since I’m very pretty!!! Woohoo!!!! Hey, her words, not mine…. *So happy I can fly off* But almost every other Korean either says I have “Korean features” or else I’m pretty… Therefore, I conclude that Koreans have an affinity for my face!!!! Hahahahaha…. Ok, ok, lame but I guess they like my baby face… ( According to my younger sister’s friend… Imagine hearing that from someone younger by 10 years…. =.=” ) Oh wells, at least they didn’t say anything negative so…

About the food, I AM so IN LOVE with this place!!!! Everything was so to my taste I can’t believe it!! The ginseng chicken soup would be bland to others but since I’m such an advocate for healthy food if it’s a choice so, OH YEAH, this place is !!! Other than the octopus stew noodle which was not my thing, all others were so nice I can’t say anything bad about them… Usually, we would be on our 2nd round of side-dishes before our main dishes come out but this place was so fast we haven’t even tasted the kimchi and the main food came steaming out, literally!! And the waiters?? Friendly and customer conscious… Totally make you feel at ease and so quick on their feet you need not ask them for anything…. It’s like they were trained so perfectly they can read minds… Lol….

Conclusion is, I’m gonna come back here again and again!!!! Honestly, do give it a try, it’s my newest favourite Korean place right now!! 2nd would be Zen which is also nearby…. Do ask me about more information k?? I’d be glad to share!!!!

I’ve fallen…

2011-06-23T11:38:00.001+08:00

….. in love….

NOT!!!!!! Hahaha…. Though I’m sure many of you thought and maybe hoped for it to be true, but nah…. What I’ve fallen on is the bandwagon of online shopping…. Before this, I’m nothing but against online shopping, banking, etc coz it’s not safe, information is easily leaked, website could be hacked, lots of spams online etc… Till I found…..

Mr. Samgyetang!!!

Or also known as Korean ginseng chicken soup.. Sigh…. Yeah, ppl, I’ve thrown away all inhibitions and negativity…. for a chicken…… Hahahaha…. It's for this online coupon deal thingy…… I can’t believe it too… Like :”WHAT???!!!!” right? Hahaha….. I’ve been tempted by so many previous things before like clothings, accessories, contact lenses, shoes but I’ve managed to resist them all….. And in the end, I’ve lost to a spring chicken…. *ROFL* Oh wells, this better be one heck of a swell chicken soup!!!!

To teachers around the world

2011-06-07T11:33:00.001+08:00

If any one of you were to see the way I ~~study~~“study” for our important finals, I think you’d be sent to the hospital… immediately.. to the Emergency Department…. Lol… And then you see Rachel and I combo…. You’d be flying to see your Maker soon…. Hahaha…. Jokes aside, I know I need to gear up yet I can’t seem to start my engine powerfully…. Someone, please fill me up with some much needed oil please?? Hehehe…

What am I doing..?

2011-05-27T09:38:00.000+08:00

4th year’s finals are coming and I’m still here… Pining to meet you…again… I’m not studying as I should, I’m overspending like I should not… by a lot… Sigh… Izzit just me or am I too old to study already now huh? And after this really troublesome period is over, then comes the final year hurdle… The never-ending clinical quotas to fill which I think I’m lagging very very much behind.. And if I do managed to somehow finish that, I have no idea where they’ll post me to… Heck, I don’t even know where I want to get posted to for my government service… O Lord, help me!!! Hehe… Oh wells, one step at a time right?? Sigh…

PS I miss you all, U6C… Whoever’s reading this….

Awesome Sabah trip

2011-04-21T14:24:00.001+08:00

Went for Community Oral Health posting last week to Sabah, a land I wish really much to visit again, BUT, hopefully not for the 3 years government service.. Hehe… It’s been my second visit there and I’ve YET to climb Mount KK… Lazy*ahem*rear gear, you’ve got to gear up real soon dear… lol.. Putting that aside, Sabah is a seriously nice place to be at.. It has everything in KL, well, almost, that you need in a much more relaxed state… Time just moves reeeeeEEEEEEAAAAALLLLL slow here…Case example:

Day 1-after finishing our formal business
Person 1: hey, it’s just 5 plus, wanna go out for dinner and shop a bit??
Everyone: Well, sure, since we have nothing on for the rest of the day anyways..
Went for the night market near the Filipino market, bought fruits, snacks, souvenirs, ate a wholesome seafood dinner with whole big coconuts and walked home
Person 2: I’ll bathe 1st!!
Person 3: Next is me!!
etc etc pre bed rituals…
Person 4: *yawns* I’m so sleepy, it’s gotta be 10-11pm now right??
Person 5: Duh, there’s 7 girls and 2 boys fighting for TWO bathrooms.. The waiting time itself is gonna be crazy long k?
Person 4: I guess so..
Person 6: Oh my gosh!! Guess what ppl, it’s not even 8pm yet!!
Everyone: You’re totally kidding right??
*checks watches, handphones for time frantically*
Everyone- *Eyes opened so wide it’s almost humanly impossible*

LOL… Real life story, people!! The next few days after that we shopped at Centre Point, went McDonalds, went for yumcha sessions, night markets etc and no matter what, it will never be over 10pm when we reached home.. And this is us WALKING everywhere… and after SUPPER… Ended up all the night owls in our group cleaned up their acts and slept early for a week… The POWER of Sabah…. Hahaha….
I think it’s because of the way the sun rises up at 5am plus and sets around 6pm… I thought we were late for our clinic visit the 1st day when I saw the day so bright outside our window and everyone still sleeping soundly when it was, can you believe it, 6am++ It’s been ages since I woke up at that time… And even then I needed my dad to shake me awake..Lol.. I miss those days….

So yup, here’s a quick introduction to Sabah!!

Here’s to the great times I’ve had with Zi Wei, Rachel Lee, Qi Shan, Su Hean, Agnes, Chin Kai, Jo En, Youming, cheers!!! A BIG shoutout to Andy Shu, Narjit, and our two drivers… Without you, it’s impossible for the trip to be this memorable.. Thank YOU!!!!

And finally, what’s my blog for if not a place for me to act cute a bit huh?? It is after all, MY blog right? Hehe…

Ahh moments

2011-03-14T12:41:00.001+08:00

Looking at the photos of people stranded and victims injured or dead during Japan’s earthquake and tsunami in print and hearing the cries of shock, disbelief and terror on footage over the weekend makes me feel really grateful… Ahh… It is truly home sweet home after all…

And then you spot Datuk Lee Chong Wei’s radiant smile as he lifts up the much coveted All-England men’s singles trophy.. Ahh.. We still have that harimau spirit burning in us yet. Malaysia ^stillboleh!!

Had a great weekend with my family again in Penang and Alor Setar so ahhh…. How I wish I can do this every week… It was so fun, relaxing and nice….

Then thinking back at times where I had complained just a tiny bitsy bit on this and that, I came to see… I guess though one can’t change the world, one’s mindset can change one’s world so… Ahh… I can still find some ways to change my world to see the world huh??

And then lastly…

Ahhh… It’s back to school again… Oh, the anti climax….

Diva

2011-03-11T09:15:00.001+08:00

I hear that I’m a diva… Izzit a good thing or a bad thing?? Hmm… Do spam me ppl, I’m diva-ing to know… Lol…

Mix & match

2011-02-20T11:14:00.000+08:00

Oh dear me.. It’s been so so long since I’ve last written so here goes a mesh-up of stuffs… Hehe… Let’s see, it’s been since Chinese New Year that I haven’t posted so spare me for this super backdated post…
Some of the dishes my super mum made for 团圆餐..yum.. Scallops baked in cheese, fried butter prawns, 4 seasons, sharkfin soup etc.. There were say 7-8 dishes on the table that day but since I was too hungry, I dug into and ate the food without finishing taking pictures of them all… Hahaha….. Whoops…

So then I’ll jump off to what’s happening recently in our dental faculty, our annual ADSAlympics where everyone is forced to squeeze out their sporty talents no matter how big or small to do something for their batch.. As for me, I have no sports juice in me whatsoever so I’m in funny events like cheerleading, chess, lontar peluru and tug-of-war.. LOL… I do think it’s rofl-material to take part in these events in a sports competition.. Sigh… Oh wells, do what we can when we can right?? Hehe.. We lost this year in cheer though… *cries* But then, to be able to pull off everything with just 2 weeks of practice is a feat big enough so… at least we look hot don’t we?? Hahahaha…. To the other batches, you all did an amazing job too!!! *applause*

To end this post for now, just wanna show you the latest addition to SP Village Mall… Macaroons!!!! Can’t believe they opened a French pattisiere here… (⊙o⊙) It IS happening here in SP after all!!!

PESD(post-exam-stress-syndrome)?? fr PTSD

2011-01-23T09:01:00.000+08:00

After our exam ended 2 weeks ago, I’ve been in a dazed and confused mode… It’s like we’re all locked in a parallel world between two universe, not able to focus on anything!! ~~We’re~~I’m not 100% in ~~our~~my studies or clinics, and till now I feel like I haven’t recover from exam yet… It’s not that we didn’t enjoy, (I kinda overdid that part a bit even,) hehe, but it’s just so hard not to keep yearning and craving to get back home straight!! Argh.. Hate this kinda waiting, no wait, I dislike ANY type of waiting actually.. lol..

Oh wells, in the meantime, I’m swept up by the Secret-Garden-Korean-series waves!! Such a nice romance-comedy show with its uniquely funny story plot and awesome main leads(read=hot, handsome and pretty casts!!) Too bad it ended too soon… Loved it so very much!!! Please do go watch it if you haven’t already??!! Go go go go GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

So yup, next up we’ll be very busy and hardworking for cheerleading again this year!!! Wish us the best so we can beat the rest alrights?? Hehehe… This is coming from us who haven’t even thought about the choreography of the cheer for the competition which is in say less than 3 weeks time away?? Optimistically unrealistic huh, dear old Batch 3?? Haha.. But I still firmly believe we’ll make it!!!

Birthdays celebration!!

2010-12-24T13:55:00.001+08:00

Goodbye trusted sidekick, oh C902..

2010-11-24T19:08:00.000+08:00

As some of you would have known by now, we dental peeps had a dental dinner last Sat at Equatorial Hotel, Penang last Saturday… It was themed as Vespertine and no, I didn’t know what it meant till I got the ticket so google or wiki it ok, ye modern ppl!!! Lol… It was a really really awesome event with everything happening so perfectly nice, (thanks to Gerv and everyone else in the committee) it was like a dreamy-Cinderella-dancing-with-her-prince-fairytale… Oh, talking about dancing, we did the whole Miss A’s-Good Girl Bad Girl dance routine on stage well enough too!! Woohoo!! Though it wasn’t REALLY flawless, it was real fun though.. Hehe..

Ok, so back to the fairytale part, everything was so nice it was one of the best dinner nights I had…

until…

the clock…

striked 12 o’clock..

…….

*no, my super hot red dress handmade by my mum didn’t turn into rags"*

*and no, Rachel’s car didn’t turn into a pumpkin too… or durian, if u want a Malaysian flair in your story*

*and no to the driver turning into a mouse.. Lol… sorry again, Rach*

But…

I did lose my phone… AGAIN…. ARGH!!! Cried my heart and eyeballs out for hours when the reality started to sink in… *cries again just thinking about the loss*
It wasn’t so much about the phone -yes, it did matter as well- but it was the things stored inside the phone.. My THOUSANDS of photos… and THOUSANDS of messages.. And HUNDREDS of songs.. and HUNDREDS of contacts… memos, reminders and calendar… and THOUSANDS of photos (okay, so it was more heart-wrenching losing my photos to someone else… *totally sickening*) Sigh… To the cruel thief, I hope u have rotten teeth for the rest of your life… Unless you deleted EVERYTHING inside the phone before use or selling it off… HMPH….

I’m sorry, wonderful loving and forgiving parents, that I did this to you guys…again.. And thank you for being the most kind hearted ppl that you two always are… I do so very LOVE you two…. *sobs*

So goodbye, dear C902… I miss you very very much…

To save a life..

2010-11-17T17:24:00.001+08:00

I’m really really really disheartened yesterday… Witnessed the aftermath of a fatal accident just outside my university campus and the motocyclist died on the spot from the impact.. The car on the opposite lane skidded due to the heavy rain and lost control or something and killed this innocent guy.. And he was just 20+ years old… I dunno why but I left the scene after a while, after seeing him lying there in his own pool of blood… Under the rain, shielded by our umbrellas.. We didn’t know he was dead then but tried to help out anyways.. I was so sad for him… I pray that his family would get over his death soon.. It’ll be hard I’m sure but I hope time would erase bad memories and all the heartaches….

It’s been so long I felt so morose over things.. I mean, even when someone crashed my car front and back I was still being really positive but THIS… Sigh, I’m lucky I didn’t take up forensic science after all… I was so crazy about CSI and admire how cool everything was and how they caught the criminal culprits that I wanted to be a part of it back then… Then I found out that they didn’t show the many,many, many, many long hours they’d spent in the labs to try to find something of use.. Me being me, I couldn’t even sit still and stay quiet for long so… *raise white flag* Hehe… Death wouldn’t faze me but the hurt and pain it brings… *shivers* I can’t take it.. I’m compassionate huh?? Empathic… Hehe… Yet helpless all the same… Sigh.. I wish there’s air-medical-support in Malaysia though, where helicopters could be used to save ppl… Sometimes, the delay in traffic and what-nots could cost a life… Sigh…. All in all, my heart goes out to all accident victims and their families.. To all other road users, do be very very very cautious, careful and safe when you’re on the road, as the saying goes, biarkan lambat asalkan selamat right??

Bang!!..again..??!!=p

2010-10-21T02:18:00.000+08:00

I dunno why but my life’s filled with so many bang-ing stuffs nowadays I can’t help but entitle my posts as such so… Bang!! Bang!! Haha… *yeah, lame but still…* Anyway, I just HAD to write about this because I’m so much more impressed with After School’s dancing after we tried..very hard…to cover their song-Bang!..but only could manage 10 seconds of their song in 2 hours…(+﹏+)~ Epic fail… Haha… So Gahi, you owned the dance genre and rock as AS leader!! Hehe… Maybe I can post up our practice videos soon so, remind me!!! Hehe…

On another note, I’ve issued my very 1st partial denture!! Woohoo!!! So happy!!! Next up, complete dentures!! …Which means another many hours in the service lab …*grumbles grumbles* Hehe… Oh wells… I can do it!!! 나는 할 수 있어 ！！O(∩_∩)O

So yeah, as a parting extra info, I’m currently loving my bangs more and more!! Can act cute with it somemore… Bwahahaha…. With the word ACT very much in the sentence k?? So don’t vomit ppl!!!

Till next time, beep beep!! *Rushes off to the service lab now*

Another bang-ing post!!

2010-09-30T10:05:00.001+08:00

After the car accident bang post previously, here I am boasting of another bang…On my hair… *Cries* %>_<% Me being me, went to have a haircut to change my look, well, actually I just wanted to trim my fringe but since I am there already, might as well cut my hair too, right? RIGHT??!!! Surely someone out there feels the same as me before right? Hehe.. So anyways, I went to get it done before watching Legend of The Guardians in 3D at Village Mall (which is a HIGHLY recommended place to watch 3D by me!!! The cinema and the 3D glasses are super duper WONDERFUL!!!!) but the haircut before it somewhat dampened if not straight spoilt my mood… I SPECIFICALLY asked for him to NOT cut my fringe flat and he nicely obliged… by DOING ＩＴ！ARGH…. And in the process of an hour, he managed to stuff 3 insults to my face too… like… &^(*&!)(@*&@^#)!&&^^RT#_@JH&TDFHUFQ What a deal huh?? You pay to get something you specifically disliked and get insulted too in the meantime… Sweet… And it’s not like in some dingy barber shop and the price is on the high side too… Regret to the max… Oh well, I’ll just have to stand this for a month till I get back to KL to fix it… *Cries even more*
BEFORE vs AFTER

Bang….bang!!!

2010-09-01T00:57:00.000+08:00

Started off my Independence Day celebration with a loud bang!!!!! Both from the back….and the front….of my poor car…. Sigh… Had a chain accident with me being the middle car…. So my car’s a heartbreaking sight now being most severely damaged and most innocent…. (sad but true) Talk about starting off your day with a bang huh?? I had two bangs… Like… WOW… /(ㄒ.ㄒ)/~~ I didn’t know how troublesome being the victim of a car accident was till now so.. well, at least I’ve learnt something huh??

Anyway, just wanted to post shout-outs to some of the kindest and most caring friends one could ever have so… THANK YOU once again:-
Su Hean, Philip, Stephanie, Michelle, Qi Xian, Khim Yik, Zi Wei, Qi Shan, Qiu Ping, Shih Lin, Swee Quin, Kumaran, Vivian, Kai Xuan, Sylvia, Janice, Deniece, Gerviene, Eliza, Jasmine, Prashana and Wuan Phing!!!!

Back

2010-08-17T23:47:00.000+08:00

Could you feel the air thick with excitement?
Could you feel the sky filled with dreams and aspiration?
Could you see the sight of happy people with happy faces?
Could you taste the amazing aftertaste of success?

Could you sense my nervousness?
Could you see through my broken-ness?
Could you help me through all this seriousness?
Could you stay by me in all closeness?

Now that it’s like that, I guess..
It’s going to be starting back, I’m back…

Anyway, starting off my life as a 4th Year dental student with things such as:
1. A new air-conditioned single room all for myself
2. Over-&-melampau-automatic car window (Funny but dangerous TRUE story, hehe)
3. Awesome time watching Korean dramas as usual such as Cinderella’s Sister (Which is highly recommended by me by the way)
4. Looking at a year filled withOUT notes, can you believe it? Apparently, the lecturers are worried that we’ll get PowerPoint-itis and handout-itis so… (You gotta giv Prof. Comfort credit for coining these words though..methinks they’re funny…)
5. Luxury-sleep deprivation (Hehe)

So yeah, looking forward to a great year!!

BDS Finals for Year 3

2010-06-21T01:15:00.001+08:00

. . . In regards to the title above, all I can honestly say about my preparation for it are… Kuantan trip, church camp in Bukit Gambang, soaked myself in water theme park, watched football matches, celebrated family member’s birthday, then Father’s Day, watched more World Cup matches, met up with some friends and ate so much I should feel bad.. But then, looking at how I spent “study break” doing anything but studying, I should have already feel bad by now and I’ll have an uphill task rushing through my notes… Well, let the crazy time begin again!!! Fighting!!! *imagine me with a bandada/headband with that word on*

PS Will upload my blog with so much pictures on my “study break” activities your jaw will drop, real soon after the exam!!

When I am weak, You make me strong, o Lord!!
As my days, so shall my strength be!! (Deut 33:25)

So much more than sexy

2010-05-27T11:48:00.000+08:00

Just finished reading this book entitled as above by Mark Atteberry and boy oh boy did I had great fun… Learnt a lot too of course… He’s just such a sarcastically funny guy… Writing a book especially for women.. How cool is that!!

“In the sex war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female”- Cyril Connoly. Love how Mark aptly titled that chapter: Sugar and spice, my foot.. Lol… And admittedly, it’s TRUE!!! Oh horror… The saying hell hath no fury as a woman scorned is not baseless and hey, how many guys you know would trade punches with guys and cower in fear by even the slightest raised decibels in a woman’s voice? Imagine scenario….
Guy: *while facing a group of snatch thieves pointing knives at him maybe* *pow* *kaboom* *bang* Now don’t you dare do that to anybody anymore!!!!! Kids these days *mumbles mumbles* Don’t even know right from wrong anymore *mumbles mumbles* How could they even think about trying to mess with a buffy 90kg, 190cm muscular and toned me huh?? *bulges muscles to prove his point while walking home*
The moment his feet reaches home
Wife: WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? My chicken’s getting burnt while you saunter nice and slow from the near convenience store… Pfftt… Men…. *mumbles mumbles*
Guy: Yes, ma’am, it won’t happen again… *shoulders slouched*

Haha… And no, I’m not saying I’ll be that kinda wife, not am I implying guys are, will be, or should be like that, was just well, just saying… Hehe… But girls, I do wish all of us would tone our tempers down a bit sometimes and just be milder.. It doesn’t take a war to end one is what I always stand for though yes, I do start some myself in the past but hey, there’s always room for improvement and change right? *wink*

Laura Ingalls Wilder-“It takes courage to live long successfully, and they are brave who grow old with smiling faces.”
Amen!! I wanna grow old laughing too… No wrinkles, cellulite, sagging worries from me.. I hope.. Hehe.. There’re a waste of time to ponder for long and hey, I wanna be the one aging gracefully among peers too… =p

King Solomon- God keeps ..people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.

Romans 12:2- Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

So yes, that concludes my latest book report!! Haha… There are so much more stuffs you learn from the book but since they’re of a more private and personal matter, I’ll leave you to search for the book and read yourself!!!

Deluxcious delight-2

2010-05-03T13:41:00.000+08:00

Since the post before can only upload the pictures, which are uploaded,(duh..) this is another post on how the place looks like… Really like the ambience there!! Hehe…

Janice, me and Gerviene..

Well then, happy birthday again Philip and hope that one day you’ll outgrow me!! The distant, far “one day”… Lol…

Till next time, “hame hame ha”, ppl!!! *Google it if you seriously do not know what it means.. Don’t say I didn’t help you there!!=p*

Life’s back to…boring..missed sweating and cheering already!

2010-04-22T21:24:00.000+08:00

ADSAlympic’s officially over… (To those of you who still don’t know what’s ADSAlympics, WHY DIDN’T YOU READ UP ON MY PREVIOUS POSTS??!! haha… J/k.. Anyway, it’s this 10-days of events-packed-sports-competition among dental batches that happens every year..Includes sports like badminton, bowling, swimming, tug-of-war, dodgeball, tracks and field, cheerleading, table tennis, Amazing Race, futsal, Then roller-blade over the Penang bridge, race over the SP river under the bridge with dragon boats, then try to haul two yachts to the opposite side of the river, fish at least 10kgs of fish in half an hour and then eat 10 different exotic yucky food blended together….(~~wished we did that??)~~ Yes, I know, we’re crazy!!! We’re not dental students, we’re MENTAL to do all those in such a short span of time!! Lol…) And the after effect of it?? Emptiness.. Sheer silence and serenity… Sigh… Now it’s back to normal plain ‘ol student life… Sighs…. We grumbled and complaint, fought, practised, got hurt and bruised, got our shirts muddied and tattered (ok, fine, we didn’t but it sounds more dramatic), cheered and booed each other on and now we shall fight to survive in our student lives… Be it clinics, studies, exams, practicals or other what-nots, am sure we’ll do them all well with our heads held high just like how we did in the ADSAlympics!!! Whatever happened in the past week, I had GREAT fun and am sure many did too… Till next year, I shall miss and keep those times together etched in my mind!! <3 (With 37% phosphoric acid!!! XD)

Sound the sirens!!!!

2010-04-13T14:25:00.000+08:00

For your hot hot HOT Batch 3 cheerleaders are BACK!!!!
*Sirens blazing in the background*
Can’t believe we won, I mean, we do deserve it for all the hard work, effort, sweat and toil, blood, bruises, aches, sprains, pain but still, everyone who participated in the competition deserves winning too.. Good job ppl, sincerely!! It was an awesome ride altogether…With that said, we still WON!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Lol… Shoutout to Deniece especially for her wonderful choreography and leadership… Man, can’t believe weeks and weeks of practices all boiled down to a very very short minutes and . . . that’s it… Hehe… Everything went really near perfect and in retrospect, I thank the adrenaline rush for making all of us put up the best performance EVER!!!! Totally love everyone in the squad, will miss the times spent together.. Like how Gerviene put it so well, we’re doing this and more not for the glory nor fame, but for each other, like family, for now and years to come.. Amen… Hehe…Since this is going to be up on Facebook so do watch the videos of our performance k?? Or i could always upload the best video soon so let’s see how it goes.. =p Dunno what else to write anymore since I’m too happy right now… So long for now ppl as I support other events!! You’ll see more soon since I’m probably gonna blog about tug-of-war soon so, anticipate it!!! Oh PS, I love our uniforms!!! XD

BATCH 3 GO FIGHT WIN!!!

A new start

2010-03-06T21:38:00.000+08:00

     As I get depressed missing Jay-EX leader of 2pm, I guess it’s time for everyone to move on.. Sigh… Oh wells, what better way to do so than for me to discover Village Mall’s newest Cineplex which I’m so in love with right now!! Yay, no more stinky, dinghy smelly old CS cinema for me, period!! Adios, s**ker!!! Lol… In the meantime, against my better judgement, I've decided to give cheerleading a shot again this year… Hehe, yes, me, the one with two right foot and a not-to-be-taken-lightly-weight-me… Haha… Well, if I could do it a few years back, might as well give it another try, no?? For those that went to Bukit Jalil stadium for Cheer..2006(?? if I’m correct), it’s time you hear me roar once more huh?? So yup,

                  SeReNe’s BACK, ppl!!!!

     So if my voice precedes me….again…as usual….since when I’m in Form 4, you’ll know… I AM back…for real, forsho’… And I say it’s long overdue… It’s time…. Never forget love and respect…

PS Why does it burn so in SP??? It feels like I’m in a burning fire in a burning building on a burning field in a burning fire-globe!! (you know the snow-globes where there’s snow flakes floating around whenever you shake it?? Well, imagine me waving frantically inside a FIRE-globe… Jumping up and down faster than a Mexican jumping bean… In singlet and shorts… Oh wait, oh would they be burnt already?? Hmm…. Lol.. There you have it, I do have a wicked sense of humour and the ability to laugh at oneself.. Ain’t I proud…*snickers*)

When all things fail, He don’t

2010-02-23T11:09:00.000+08:00

Yeah yeah, that’s a cheesy tagline stolen from G.I Joe but it holds true to me… No matter what happens in life, the good, the bad, and.. the very very bad, I know I could always fall back on the one thing that never change.. Sigh.. Am in a low pit in life right now where nothing seems to be right and everything seems to be so wrong.. I need more love and attention, ppl!! Lol... (hmm, shouldn’t laugh there…) I want the time to turn back, I want my mistakes wiped off, I want, I want, I want… In the end, it doesn’t really matter, it’s still all about me huh?? Sighs again… 2009 was a bad year for me and 2010 is not looking that great right now.. Hopefully it’ll turn out to be wonderful soon…
On another irrelevant note, a life of sacrificial love and not convenience… That’s how I wanna live my life these days.. It’s gonna be a tough ride uphill but that’s the way I ~~want it~~ should live…. So yup.. May all of you have a great year ahead too ok?? God bless!!

Happy CNY peeps!!!

2010-02-15T20:36:00.001+08:00

Heya everyone!! How did you celebrate CNY this year?? Mine went by just like that….I mean, in conjunction with the previous post, I could only say…I’m so old!! When did I stop feeling all excited for CNY?? Instead, I’m going online on the 2nd day of CNY for almost the whole day… Man, that sounds pathetic… All my cousins are either married, working or studying somewhere far and won’t be back for CNY or they just simply lost interest in gatherings… ARGH…. Totally nostalgic right now… Miss the time we run around trees and jump into ravines and cook leaves and flowers acting like we were preparing a royal feast… Haha… Just kidding, I didn’t do that when I’m young, and no, I don’t do that now either… Sheesh… =p

And oh, btw, my whole family and I are crazy about this Korean series called “Queen Seon Duk”… My dad watched it with us till 2.30am and said it’s still early and to continue on with the show… Lol.. My dad is such a cutie, physically and literally!! So yup, leave me a comment on your celebration!! You know I know what you did last CNY!! Hehe….

Worn out

2010-02-03T10:27:00.001+08:00

I’m old… Or at least not as young as I used to be.. (like duh you may say, but still…) Here’s what happened after my exams…

1. I sprained my ankle for no reason whatsoever.. No vigilant active sports from a strong and energetic me, no almost-tripping-and-falling from a clumsy yet cute young girl, no skipping along a rough terrain from an eager to try out new experiences/ road-curious girl.. I just sprained it.. Full stop.. Not during walking, not during running, but during sitting.. During just SITTING I said.. Should I cry or what?? lol…

2. I’m tired. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally.. Nothing these days evoke much emotions from me.. Be it exams or holidays or religious spats in our peaceful nation or just plain daily routine.. I’m tired.. I don’t have the energy to fight nor speak out anymore.. Learnt my lesson the hard way?? Maybe.. Gained sudden wisdom?? Hmm, probably.. Lost the spark and energy? Most likely.. But lose hope and faith?? To that I’ll say never, never and still never.. (Hence Gerv, I’m equivalent to no expression now..)

3. I give up on reading the newspaper.. The headlines, yes.. The world news, yes.. The state of our country and the rising crime numbers?? That’s where I’ve given up.. I mean, it’s bad enough just as it is without me reading them and feed more emotions into the current situation.. Hence, I’ve given up on reading them anymore.. The only thing I would do is to pray for the nation, it won’t help one single eensy, weensy, tiny little bit to be agitated nor to start supporting groups.. I stand for peace. That’s all. To fight to get peace? I think that’s just plain silly.. So, sorry people if I do not understand the need to be in groups on Facebook declaring support for whatever reason or group cause to me, it still does not help one bit..

Hence, I’ve devoted myself to drama, game and variety what-not shows.. Be it Korean, English or Chinese, I’d feed my brain silly with them.. Total tv/computer addict now.. One day without some sorta show input makes me have withdrawal symptoms so… Ciaoz!! *Runs off to watch more Korean show* lol!

Quick update-Love the jungle!

2010-01-07T21:33:00.000+08:00

Had a one week holiday last week for Christmas and new year.. Celebrated Christmas with a scrumptious hotel meal, got a new PSP Go, then went to a camp with flying fox, abseiling, repelling and jungle trekking lined up in its activity… Got some bruises and all but luckily no leech marks unlike some others... Totally enjoyed my week!! Had no regrets having that much fun.. The price to pay for it now?? What’s in my face would be an exam coming up soon in a week and a half and I’m supposed to finish studying everything since the past four months in the remaining time.. Can I do it?? Probably.. Will it be sufficient to pass?? Well, that depends… Lol… While some eat, sleep and drink books & notes since the holiday, I’m STILL wasting time here reminiscing about the fun times I had last week on holiday.. sheesh.. Hehe… Anyhow, 2010 started off in an awesome way for me for now.. How was your start of the year, ppl??

PS Will update with pictures of a worn-out, unkempt me during the camp and other miscellaneous photos in say a month’s time.. Till then, ciaoz!!

A Black Tie Affair

2009-12-13T15:32:00.000+08:00

That’s what set the night yesterday at Equatorial Hotel, Penang for AIMST’s annual dental dinner. Other than the fact everyone looked awesome(It’s true judging on the glances hotel lodgers stole at us when anyone of us dental babes and hunks walked past), it was a really fun night to remember as our 5th years super seniors will be leaving us for the work force real soon.. Sigh, feel so sad already.. Lol.. Anyways, without further ado, let’s take a look at some pictures for the night!! Which features only me as well, I didn’t bring my camera along and used only my trustworthy handphone.. Luckily it was 5MP at least…

Full length pic of me.. And no, the bag on my right hand is NOT my dinner bag. It was from our sponsors…

Qi Shan and me goofying around before the dinner starts…

Half of the people sitting at Table 18
(from left-right:
Khim Yik, Zi Wei, Qiu Ping, Qi Shan and I)
Totally loved Zi Wei’s look and hair that night! <3

Me and my roomie!!
(Sorry again WP, you know what I mean…)

Squashed picture of everyone.. LOL!! Jamie, me, Gerviene and half of Sylvia..Hahaha…

Am sure a lot of ppl will upload a lot of pictures on Facebook real soon so, wait for them alrights?? Till then, ciaoz!!!

Change of look-for my blog I mean

2009-12-04T13:37:00.000+08:00

Heya ppl!! Long time no see huh?? And then suddenly *poof* I’m meeting you with a new look through my blog.. I dunno why but I find it somewhat funny.. Hehe… Anyway, though I like this new layout for my blog, I’d admit that it was real hard for me setting up everything again from scratch.. Okay, not really from point zero coz I stole the layout from somewhere but still.. The sidebar stuff, changing previous posts’ display, colours and all… You’ll have to give me some credit since I’m bad with all these.. (Oh, and thanks LT for the cached link thingy.. I’m THAT bad with computer stuffs that I have no idea whatsoever to what it was and how you did it so… Lol..) Anyhow, everyone, please leave me a line sometime if you’re reading this.. I’m itching to hear updates from you all…=p Ciao for now!!

I'm a cyborg

2009-11-22T11:01:00.002+08:00

Full stop. Li Theen and Chai Hsia jie will be the only two who knows what I mean... In the meantime, I'll move on..

Deepavali weekend+funny scare

2009-10-19T18:36:00.000+08:00

Spent the Deepavali holiday here in Kedah instead of back home in KL this year… Why you ask?? Coz I thought that my external hard disk was spoilt and wanted to get a new one at the PC Fair here at Village Mall… Turned out, God was so awesome that He healed an inanimate object for me… LOL!!! It’s totally cured just like that though one computer dude said it was beyond the point of no repair.. (Dunno whether that guy was totally inefficient or I sighted a plain miracle at work, lol…) But my parents were like “Whether miracle or otherwise, you could have gotten a new one from Low Yat Plaza here you know??” Well, that’s true but I wanted to stay here to strengthen myself… In a setting filled with family love and unconditional care, one wouldn’t grow strong.. And in a situation like the one I’m having now (to those who knows), I need to be tougher, to be able to face certain stuffs alone… But I sincerely thank my family so much for all that they did and I’m sure will continue doing, I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Plus the many true friends I can trust after sieving through my pile of friends-- Thank you!! So, there you have it, my somewhat logical explanation on why I’m not back home…

Anyway, because of that, I experienced a REALLY funny incident yesterday.. TNB had to do some maintanence work yesterday to upgrade our campus’ electrical supply so we were to literally live in the dark from 10am-10pm… Since they cut off the supply at 9.30am, my roommate and I plus Claud next door went out for lunch to escape the heat.. Then we headed off to Village Mall to do some shopping, which we couldn’t do much due to the lack of shops and even tea-time at Secret Recipe, we had to go home at 5.30pm, assuming that the electricity would be back by then… Well, the whole place was still dark til 7pm… Cut the story short, we decided to go out again for dinner and to buy candles in case we’ll be left in the dark for long…. As we were walking down the stairs, the fire alarm suddenly went off and was shrieking as loud as it could.. Since the place was desolate, the neverending alarm was quite scary.. As we proceeded to my car equipped with torchlights in our hands, lo and behold, we saw two huge red trucks in the carpark easing in our hostel… With the fire alarm blazing its head off, one would think those were the fire trucks right?? So, I got freaked out when I drove out and called my dad.. Daddy thinks I should give a call to the TNB hotline to find out what happened so well, here goes…

TNB staff: What is the problem, miss?
Me: Well, our university is still dark now after 12 hours.. When will the electricity be back on?
TNB staff: You mean your university has no electricity?
Me: Yes, the whole campus.
TNB staff: Well, sorry but we are not responsible for power failure inside a university. You would have to call a wireman.
Me: No!! I meant it was a TNB upgrading project that caused the breakdown.
TNB staff: Yes, I understand but like I said, we are not responsible for the electrical malfunction inside a university.
Me: But this is due to your project!!
TNB staff: Yes, but we are not responsible for it. Better call a wireman, miss.
Me: .. You don’t understand!! …..But… *exasperated* Fine, never mind, then can I know what happened that there’s fire trucks parked in our parking lots then?
TNB staff: In your campus?
Me: Yes, in my campus.
TNB staff: Well, you’d have to call a wireman to find out.
Me: WHAT?? A wireman is responsible for fire trucks now?
TNB staff: Yes, we are not responsible. Better call a wireman, miss.
Me: Call a wireman to see why are there fire trucks in my campus, after the electrical breakdown, which was due to a TNB upgrading project?
TNB staff: Yes, call a wireman, miss. We are not responsible to electrical breakdown inside a university campus.
Me: ……………..*speechless* Yeah well, thanks for your help, k?
*Clicks*
Me thinking.. ‘or no help at all… And… what is a wireman in the first place???!!!”

Totally bizarre irrelevant conversation between two confused souls, lol…

In the end, we found out that the two blazing red hot trucks were the generator trucks that were called in to temporarily supply electricity until TNB were done with their work. Which was 1am coz the power got cut for 10 minutes again and we happily lit up the newly bought candles for well, 10 minutes… Lol… I’m so glad I didn’t make a big fuss about the “fire trucks”.. Imagine me going, “I DON’T CARE!! GET YOUR BOSS ON THE LINE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE HECK IS THERE FIRE TRUCK INVOLVED IN A BLACKOUT SITUATION RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” And that the person really did call the fire department to see whether trucks are sent into our campus.. That, my friends, would be totally EMBARRASSING to say the least!!! Hahahahahahaha…. All in all, I had a fun weekend… Spent a lot but learnt a lot too… Till next time, adieu!!

To start off quite an interesting week, let me show you how our university looks like when there’s big shots around =p It was all for show for the international congregates that came for the International Youth Kabaddi Competition 09’. Do I hear you asking “What the heck’s Kabbadi??” Well, let me tell you honestly that I didn’t even know this thing existed until well, I heard that some apparently cute hunks are in the competition as well… *Gush*.. haha, just kidding!!!! Anyways, it’s like a combination of 老鹰捉小鸡 plus ‘Pepsi Cola’… A somewhat more aggressive form of those two but you’ll get a vague idea of how it’s played… For those that do not read Chinese or had never heard of a game called after two fizzy drinks, then I guess…. TOO BAD!!!!! Lol, I don’t know how to explain those games so please kindly just skip thru that part and surge on the never-ending droning words ok? (And I know you only look at the pictures mostly anyway don’tcha? =p)

Every tree around the Great Hall’s lighted up…
*Great Hall-sounds so Harry Potter…cue some Harry Potter spooky music….* *Oh wait, our Great Hall’s not so great… No floating candles, no talking hat, no magically appearing food….*
*And I’d skip the food, most probably it’ll be from Jaya Catering, and THAT my friends,you cannot magically memper-tasty-kan…*

The Great Hall & other offices are located in this Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka lookalike building…

The blueish tinge to the building is so not to my liking.. Seems very sickish to me… lol…

On another note, we just had a Lantern Festival celebration in our university which was a success I think considering the huge crowd turnout and the all sold record for some drinks we had… Hope everyone had fun coz I did!!

Sylvia looking nice in her kimono and me looking well, me-like…. lol…

Oh, and I really liked our senior’s booth… They really put in lotsa effort for the backdrop for the photo-taking session… Good job!!

That’s Dr. George and Dr. Niekla, our dental lecturers specialising in different dental fields, portraying Chang-Er and Wu Gang, the famous characters of the story on the moon…

HAPPY LANTERN FESTIVAL PEEPS!! 中秋节快乐！！！

View on my nation

2009-09-10T13:02:00.001+08:00

The thing that got me thinking bout our country more in depth is actually triggered by an event that happened over in Korea regarding a Korean idol which hailed from another country (Yes, SX, I’m writing this after your comment).. Anyways, that poor guy went to Korea to fulfil his dreams a few years ago, all alone, without any friends, family members to support him and a whole list of things he is forced to adapt to almost immediately.. e.g. Their language, food, customs, cultures, etc etc… After being deprived of much love and cafe, he made a mistake by writing about his frustrations to his friend through the net… (Hence it should have been private and personal ppl!! Sheesh…) Anyway, the Koreans are fuming right now over the things he said FOUR years ago and are isolating him NOW.. (Boycotting, banning, or whatever else that sounds nice to your ears…) I think it’s immature of them to do so and plain unfair.. It’s not like you never did or said anything that you’ll regret ever before and yet he was judged.. Just like that… Even after a public apology, he is not let off the hook… Give him a break ppl… And from what I know, what he wrote is not even that bad… Just some boyish longings for his home…

That being said, it’s easy to point fingers huh?? And yet look at the state of our country right now.. We were known as the friendliest Asian country once and just glance through the headlines of any national papers today.. Racial disunity, political unrest, crisis, crimes rate going up etc etc etc.. And how about the simple thing of sugar shortage?? I dunno how you feel but I for one just think it shouldn’t happen.. True, it’s a good time for us to learn not to consume so much of sugar and yet somehow I feel like it’s cause of everyone getting so scared that they’ll never have sweet taste on their tongues that they rushed out and bought the whole mini-mart near them out of sugar… Or the ever changing forums on whether to teach this or that in this language or that.. The funny thing is, you can almost guess someone’s age by the medium they were taught in.. Like those from the 50s will be English educated, those from the 60s will be in Malay medium schools… Nowadays, you can guess the year someone graduated from as it just keeps changing over time… Then there’s concerts that kept on getting cancelled.. Or on the alcohol issue… I think it’s a good time to start praying for our nation… To pray that we would be more tolerant to each other, to be more just in our decision making especially for those in that position, to be more transparent and honest in our dealings, to be more far-sighted and think about the future of our nation and not just temporary personal gain…

I’ve also learnt this from CF yesterday.. You know how we always introduce ourselves as so & so from ________ normally?? I’ve noticed that (We don’t even do it consciously sometimes) we personally tend to support those from the same states more… Just like how you’ll be more tolerant and forgiving to the same race or religion… And that you’ll be more critical towards those that are not… Until someone said, I’m _______ from Malaysia.. lol… Talk about 1Malaysia!! It’s simple stuffs like this that makes one patriotic… Not how many times you talk about how you will sacrifice your life for the country or how good if _______ or ______ changes or how you dislike _______ or how other places are so much better…. Being patriotic is to defend your country’s good name, and not only so, to uphold its name… It’s easy to defend something as you don’t need to waste any effort or discipline, I mean, how hard is it to just pay lip service?? But to truly love and hope for the best of the nation?? That’s a whole new level.. I’m one who believes that everything happens for a reason and that we’re not accidentally here …. So for now, at this moment, I love my country and will pray for its development, peace and security… What’s your take???

PS If you know who’s the Korean artist I’m talking about, do leave me a comment, I would LOVE to hear what do you think about the whole thing because I so like him a lot!! XD

Super food galore-Milwaukee steak corner & b’day at Secret Recipe

2009-09-06T16:37:00.000+08:00

As promised, an update.. Or more accurately, an update of a gallery of pictures on food and food and more glorious food, lol….

Anyway, to satisfy my craving for western food, my parents so lovingly brought all of us out one night… This was once my favourite place for American style steaks but now I’m just plain disappointed… It’s near Sungai Long, which is really far from Ampang but well worth it the 3 times we went before this.. Now, I wouldn’t even anticipate going there anymore… Sigh, another eatery down… The food was nice I guess but not as nice as the previous visits.. The price has all gone up expectedly but the quality does not live up to the price hike.. Sigh.. And the service is well, he…he…he…I’ll refrain from any wisecrack comments…

It’s a building all by itself with air-conditioned floors with WiFi provided upstairs…

The interior of the place… I missed the Harley Davidson feel it once gave.. Now it’s just plain old boring… I think certain religious group went there accidentally and started bleeding from the nose looking at posters of half-nude women on big bikes and demanded they tone down a bit.. (While taking the posters home as evidence or something.. Sheesh…)

Caesar salad…

Beef burger

Charbroiled ostrich steak, medium rare.. I don’t like this=<

House special charbroiled sirloin steak…

Steamed cod fish with baked cheese on top…

Tempura seafood platter…

I totally forgot what this is called again…whoops…

Conclusion is, the place is quite nice, spacious and the food is reasonably priced (The six of us ate for say around RM 210 excluding taxes) but it just couldn’t stay on top of my list for its category anymore… Such a pity… I never minded its distance from my house and now it just made itself off my list..

Anyway, just a quick post for the person whose birthday we celebrated for, you know who you are..

Failed project of writing this ourselves on the durian cheese cake… The coconut flakes on top is just . . . . The result as you can see is. . . HAHA!!

Japanese soba noodles and Vietnamese chicken chop rice?

Lamb rack with potato

Meatball spaghetti with peach orange milkshake….

Why did I include these photos are coz I’ll give credit to SR for being able to cook nice food in a short time… =p We reached there around 9.45pm and by the time all our orders were taken and the cake written on it’s 10pm and the shop was supposed to close at 10.30pm… (Oh oh….??) But I thoroughly enjoyed all the food there, always had a knack for SR’s food, cakes, drinks and pastries… Aww, the joy….

All in all, I had a great time back home and can’t wait to be back once more… Love all the hustle and bustle, the pollution, traffic jams, people, cars and high-rise building… Miss you already, dear KL!!!

PS As requested, a SeReNe style loud shout out to my awesome roommate, WP!!!! I KNOW we’ll have a blast!!! Much love… XOXOXO

I am

2009-08-27T16:34:00.001+08:00

“My action does not define me, it doesn’t show you who I am. My thoughts does not represent me, it doesn’t speak of how I am and could be. My words do not shape me, they are not the correct front I should be judged upon. These are all part of who I am, but they do not define me.”-SeReNe Lee

Anyways ppl, I’m thinking of starting a whole new concept for this blog… Not a bitchy one you think I’m capable of, not an emo blog, though I wouldn’t mind writing some emo posts whenever I feel like it and then delete it, as QP and WP would have known (for they read one barely in time before I deleted it from the blog-o-sphere, lol..) Not a travel blog coz obviously I dun have time in my hands to just leave everything and take off so to speak.. not another fashion blog simply because I dun want the fashion polices to moan and cry over my fashion mismatch crime(S)… Not a tech guide blog too since no one is sparing me the gadgets to review upon and I cannot afford to buy new stuffs all the time.. Not a cooking blog since I only have let’s see, a fridge and a microwave oven in the hostel? Not a pets-&-you or a parents-teenagers forum blog coz well, just coz.. Which would lead me to… erm, not much choice is there?? Lol… Oh wells, just so it’s clear, I’m back again… Hopefully you guys will catch on with what is my new concept.. which is mainly concept-less I guess… Just the same-ol’ dose of SeReNeness with a whole new SeReNe at helm… Enjoy the ride with me alrights??

PS I love all of you guys who had cared enough to ask… Special shout-outs to J, WP, QP, Suan, Ce, Rick, and all…XOXOXOXO

Who I am in God

2009-07-23T23:53:00.000+08:00

My finals’ will finally be final in less than a day’s time. Throughout all these, I just wanna thank God for everything.. Thank God for all the joys, the pain, the tears, the friendships, the time spent, the effort put, the good times’ out, the birthdays celebrated.. When the right time comes, I shall blog about all but for now, I just wanna stay still and strong in God. In Him I place my trust. He shall be my strength when I am weak, my fortress in times of trouble.. Let my walk be just from now on, change me, mould me, make me better in You, Lord, Amen.. I’ll learn to be who You want me to be and to search for that identity in Christ, being unshaken and strong, knowing that I’m a precious child of God…

Of final exams and swine flu..

2009-07-07T17:33:00.000+08:00

Yay, it’s finally at the half-way mark!! Am only down to three more papers to go and the last laboratory assessment and I’ll be done with the horribly tough and thoroughly not enjoyable 2nd year exam!! Grr….. Won’t be missing it at all, no thank you…

On another note, yes, I’m potentially at risk of getting in contact with the infamous A(H1N1) virus any time.. One confirmed case and 9 suspected pending cases already in my university…. Flu flu go away, ~~come again another day~~ please just go far far away?? That being said, I really don’t care about the flu right now.. Even if they quarantine all of us and put us on all kinds of scientific tests for flu and let us be on IV drips, I’ll still insist to go for all the exams session.. Tubes hanging, wearing bare-back hospital gown and all…(hmm, a sight to behold…lol…) Or I’ll throw a big fit and let ‘em know how annoying girl tantrums can be… *Shudders* So, please do pray for me whenever you think of me alright?? I just wanna finish my exam, be safe and enjoy myself back home in KL… *Ahhh…the joy…*

Well, I’ve learnt how you won’t feel the seriousness a pandemic or epidemic can be until it’s just breathing down your neck… Nowadays, a simple cough or sneeze in a hearable/sightable distance would make me run to the nearest bathroom to disinfect myself ASAP… all the while running in big strides with my breath held until my face turns blue!! XD

The day a man bared his chest for me and I kissed him

2009-06-11T11:43:00.000+08:00

Close your gaping mouths, ppl!!! Lol, got you didn’t I?? Hahahahahaha, it was just for a CPR clinical practical session… on a MANnequin… Anyway, it was a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally fun session.. Kinda made me happy coz I somehow managed to fulfill a part of my somewhat still present fragmented dream of being an air-stewardess/hostess.. I really wanted to be one when I grew up back when I was way younger and saw what they did on tv… I mean, they earn while looking nice and trotting all over the globe, which girl wouldn’t want a job like that?? *Ok ok, or maybe it was just me since I thought I had the height to do so anyways…. But all hopes were dashed the moment I grew taller than the maximum height… like huh? there’s a MAXIMUM height?? Lol…*

So yeah, the pictures for the moment.. More pics are on Facebook… Too bad I didn’t capture all the members’ kissing in action… Aww, too bad…

Ok, it wasn’t for the CPR training session but still… I love this pic!! Hahahaha….

*And the baby looks reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal scary!!!! *

Something stinks in here….. Use some deodorant buddy!!! Lol…

Final exams for BDS Year 2 soon…

2009-06-05T11:36:00.000+08:00

Grr..... It's that time of the year where we dental students (at least for my batch I'm sure) act as if we're scared of the sunlight and looks ready to hang downwards with our legs dangling on trees any moment soon.. Yup, the time where we are all morphing into walking, or maybe leg-dragging zombies with nothing in mind other than the many holiday spots we plan to go to the moment our results are out... *okay, was exaggerating on the zombie part.. a little... lol... n no, we won't be out sucking blood…..yet... mumble muble… will suck on your money when you come for dental treatments soon so will spare you for now.. whisper whisper… Hahahahaha, JUST KIDDING!!!!*

Final’s less than one month away and all we can say now is…. “ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”

What we looked like the last exam….

For finals soon….
The subjects out to torture our limited memory & brainpower this time are:
Dentistry( Prosthetic, Dental Tech, Biomaterial Sciences), Periodontology, Pharmacology, Pathology, Oral Microbiology, Medical Microbiology,
Oral Microanatomy,
Oral Biochemistry,
Sociology,
Communication Skills,
Dental Therapeutics,
and finally OSCA….

Great list ain’t it??? Aren’t we so lucky to be able to study all these?? *Bright, blinking watery eyes looking up* And then there are those ungrateful friends having all the fun in the world now taking their break and all and COMPLAINING about it….!&^%&^$^!*&^#@ Sigh, hehe, you know who you are… Wish me all the best alrights?? I’ll need it…Hence, SeReNe’ll be officially signing out from blogging till well, till whenever she feels like it… Don’t miss me too much!!

PS But me being me, I may be blogging some random stuffs anytime…
PPS Studying’s eating up my language prowess… Lol.. I said I noticeS just few days back to good ol’ Gerve…

A funny poem dedicated to Chinese dumplings-粽子-by me..

2009-05-28T15:52:00.000+08:00

Oh, it is that time of the year,
Fifth day of the fifth month every year,
According to the Chinese lunar year.

Where dragon boats are geared,
Where bamboo or reed leaves fear-
Being forced to wrap around glutinous rice, meat, beans, then boiled with their tear.

A time where dumplings are easily found and people cheer,
Where more combinations of fillings are created I hear,
Seeing those weird “creative” dumplings, I shudder and fear. (=p)

Oh, yet how I long for a dumpling,
Its yummy-ness makes me go a’searching.
Even if consumed, makes my weight increasing,
I’ll still relish and ravish my dumpling eating,
So I better go and get them now, or else it’ll be really depressing!!

(Pic from www.judelittle.com)

Hahahahaha… That’s all folks, poet SeReNe in the making!!! LOL!!

Crazy bout Super Junior’s newest song now!!

2009-05-24T22:32:00.000+08:00

To those that know what Super Junior is all about, well, it just goes to show that you update yourself with Korean entertainment news when you’re free huh?? Haha, good good, coz apparently you’re not alone… Anyway, I really really really LOVE this song!! There’s another Drama version but that is more towards fan girl material so I’ll spare you the pain k?? Lol.. Look it up if you’re interested on Youtube… So, enjoy this video and spam me with your comments if you wish!! Till next time..

Movie spree!! Angels & Demons vs Star Trek

2009-05-20T11:45:00.000+08:00

Just went to watch the two movies back to back with my dear roommate.. “Angels & Demons” at 2.30pm and “Star Trek” at 5pm..

The movie Angels and Demons was highly recommended by many of my course mates and friends who were all raving on how good the movie was.. Though I’m no big fan of Dan Brown ( More of an anti-Brown to be more precise), I went for the movie anyways to see how good was good… Didn’t watch The Da Vinci Code either so I really don’t know what to expect from this show.. After watching it in agony for the whole 142 minutes though, the moment the credits roll, all I wanted to shout was, “What the, gimme back my money!! *!^#^&@$%!&! I should have watch X-Man instead!!” That was how disappointed I was with the movie.. Seriously, honestly, truthfully, I simply cannot comprehend how you guys enjoyed it so… Ughhh…. Luckily Star Trek rocked and totally saved my day!! (Gerviene and Jennifer, if you gals are reading this, I’d rather be termed geek 10, 000 times and watch Star Trek than to watch any more of Dan Brown’s work…I think you gals are more geek-like and nerd-like to thoroughly adore the show and his books… Me?? I’d rather waste time sitting through ALL the prequels, sequels, spin-offs even the animation of Star Trek…) Really really kicking my arse now for not watching Wolverine… Sigh…

PS Still feel odd to see the cruel wicked Sylar from tv series Heroes being Mr Spock..
PPS Oh, on another note, I lost my parking ticket and was forced to fork out RM20 for it.. Double @*#^!%#(!*&#&#&@^&(@)#*)!… *Cries*

Back to normal!

2009-05-15T23:11:00.000+08:00

    Well, just a quick update on me!! The sun’s shining again, the world’s still spinning.. I’m feeling better already to whomever it may concern and don’t worry, you’ll get back the normal not-so-serene-SeReNe soon… *You guys must be wondering whether it’s a good thing or a bad one huh??=p*

     Oh, and POS Malaysia is an efficient team after all!! My mum got her handmade Mother’s Day card by me (which you can see from my last post) the day after I posted it on Mother’s Day Sunday… Bravo bravo POS Malaysia!! I sincerely thank you for how fast it reached KL… Haha, and I suddenly remembered the time when we were in primary school and the “in” thing was to post cards and snail mail to each other t even if the person stays in the same housing area as you.. It’s the same with giving out greeting cards to almost all your teachers and classmates because you’re expecting to receive from them as well.. It’s more like exchanging greeting cards actually.. So anyways, there was this one thing we did then that makes me smile when I think of it now, we ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS write “Thank you postman!!” on our envelope then.. It is like the fool-proof plan to supposedly make the postman feel happy and appreciated and hence send our stuffs more gladly and faster without losing it… Seriously!! Those chosen letters and cards which I keep until now with their envelopes has these written mostly on the lower left corner with a smiley face (just in case).. Since I’ve received them, so I guess this plan does work after all huh?? Lol…

     So yes, to those in this postal and courier service sector, thank you!!

Handmade card for my awesome mum!!

2009-05-10T15:04:00.000+08:00

As promised, these are pictures of what my Mother’s Day card looks like… I’ve already posted it back to my house in KL through express mail.. Hopefully nothing will happen to it.. If it does though, I will suffer from a mild high blood pressure and heart attack-like symptoms for some time, but at least i have something to fall back on… Proof of my artistic flair, only found here and here alone!!! Haha… Have to admit though, it’s just half of what my mum can do.. She has this photographic memory that allows her to do stuffs just by observing once.. Applies to sewing, drawing, haircuts, cooking, even memorising landmarks when driving.. Truthfully!! She’s like the super mum, lol… Anyway, take a look through what I can do… =p

Cover page of a somewhat booklet like Mother’s Day card…

Better view of the cover page…

1st page.. Nicely done?? Lol, I AM proud of it k??My masterpiece..=p Don’t read the contents though, “geli” lar..
*If you still somehow did that, all I’ll say is: “stop liking me THAT much & stalk me to the extent of reading through what I wrote to my mum!!!” Ishh…. Scary ppl do exist…

2nd page…

Last page…

So… how was it?? Think I’m cool in making cards now?? Lol… Fingers crossed REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY hard that it’ll reach my mum though… Pray for me that my next post won’t be on the !*I#@^$%^!(*&(@!*& job our post office and it’s staff are doing nowadays k?? I trust in our efficient and careful postmen!!!!

PS POS Malaysia please don’t get mad at me ok? I’ll blog only good stuffs about you the moment my mum gets the parcel alrights? Promise!!! And I ALWAYS do what I promised, promise!!! *hahahahha….I’ll write promise 10 times more if it helps… promise!!!*

Le’ Boss restaurant

2009-05-05T12:03:00.000+08:00

Life seems so monotonous now that the hype of ADSAlympic died down.. It’s back to mano al mano with the ongoing upward piling of notes and books… Sigh… When will this all end??? ARGH… Hence, I’m upholding this resolution with effect from yesterday.. I’ll eat out as often as I can (read: as long as my crying purse allows me to), go shop as much as I can, waste time as erm, wasteful? as I want, jog around campus and annoy the guards as much as I like… (inside story.. And a cause I’m appointing myself to lead!! Lol…)

Anyways, to start off the never-ending need for food other than our beloved Jaya catered AIMST cafeteria food, Jo En, Agnes, Pui Shie, Youming and I went to Le’ Boss yesterday night for a night out.. Stopping by bookstores that we see on our way to get materials for card-making as well… Thanks Deniece for your Campap invisible membership card btw.. =p Will show you my end product real soon… Be prepared to be amazed.. Haha… (ok, ok, dun keep your hopes too high.. to all those that received my card b4, well, tell me how they were actually.. honestly this time.. )

Le Boss… well, the only thing I can say is, to SP residing ppl, I guess this is the most valued-for-money Western set meal provider we could find.. And it is THE place to look for both my roommate and I whenever most probably.. (and that is quite a lot of times in a week I tell you..at least in mind…)
My order for the night, grilled chicken sandwich…
To be honest, it was a big let down.. The BBQ sauce was a tad overpowering, the chicken piece too small (at least that’s what my roommate said).. But otherwise, it was well, edible…

Pui Shie’s Black Pepper grilled chicken set..

Oh, and she found THE ONE during our escapade that night.. Nudge me for more info will ya? I’ll spill gladly.. Hahaha…

Agnes and Jo En got the exact set right down to the 2 side dishes.. (It’s out of say 10 choices)

I’m so telling the teacher both of you cheated!! Lol..

Youming’s bowl of salad.. Sorry, somehow the picture of her chicken bolognaise got lost and all that’s left is this pathetic-looking pitiful bowl of greens… Haha…. sorry…

All in all, I had a great time yesterday… Can’t wait to show you more of these happy events soon.. Till then, *fly kisses*

PS My driving licence expired!!! *Groans* Please let somebody drive me around these few days!! *hint hint*
PPS I want to watch the movie “Wolverine-The Origins”!!

Red hot BDS Batch 3!!

2009-04-30T11:46:00.000+08:00

As a continuation of the previous post, here are some photos regarding that wonderful moment in time we won tug-of-war and made the seemingly impossible possible…Again, to every one who came to either participate, cheer, support, or help or did all of the above, everyone really did great!!! Batch 3’s really an awesome batch!! Who says dental students are boring huh? Lol…

Showing just the dragon tail part of the tug-of-war-warriors!! Should have taken a picture of our opponent to show you who we were up against..

As promised, pic of our cheerleading team 09’… Do check out our cool choreography from Youtube somewhere k??

Su Hean’s sport car which was incorporated into part of our routine.. Hot car+hot chicks=hot batch!! Lol..

So that wraps up our almost 2 weeks long ADSAlympic… It seriously ended with a blast!!

Of team spirit and unity…

2009-04-30T02:06:00.000+08:00

It’s been a long long while since I feel so proud and touched to be with a certain bunch of people and the 3rd batch of dentistry student in AIMST university just reminded me how great that feeling is… I am so so honoured to be in this great class!! The awesome unity, the together-ness.. Beats the always-united-and-together burger and patty anytime.. (No, I still dunno why I used that illustration…Lol…)

If you didn’t get the chance to witness our near-miraculous win in tug of war 2day, you’ve just missed out on the most touching scene of the year, ok, fine, month, ok fine, only among our batch most probably..But still… We won the tug-of-war event!!! Many of you will think “pfft, big deal…” right?? So let me lay down the groundwork… No one expected us to win.. In fact, no one though we COULD win.. We were deemed weak.. Loud but empty.. Losers… Plus the fact that our final match was against last year’s winner… Hopeless ain’t it?Impossible I hear?? Oh, but we showed them!! We showed them well!! The participants pulled in one accord, the supporters chanted and cheered us on in one voice, one goal, for us to win and not hurt ourselves… We even have our very own conductor- David leading the pack… We’ll admit that we may not be stronger, we may not be bigger, we may not be the favourite, but we were definitely tugging that thick rope with our all… It feels like the 10 pair of hands strongly holding onto that thick rope without letting go has 39 other pairs of hand invisibly helping at the same time… The supporters were shouting their lungs out the whole time without fail and that itself motivates us tuggers to pull harder.. To the ends of the earth if needs be I tell you!! The whole sea of red-jersey-clad-ppl were doing everything as one and the moment we won the match, the supporters were the ones crying in joy… now THAT is the extend our class feels for each other… No matter the result, at the very least, we can proudly say we gave it our best.. Winning or losing?? Don’t know , don’t care.. Winning is of course undeniably an extra reward but otherwise, am sure all of us will appreciate the memories created throughout ADSAlympics this year… Just wanna say, good job, good job, Batch 3!! We’re seriously one red hot fighting team!! To all participants and supporters alike, we were awesome!! The week wouldn’t be half as fun nor memorable otherwise… Love love love our batch!!! Keep it up!!

PS Sorry Philip for losing your muscle pain reliever!!!

ADSAlympics updates

2009-04-26T14:52:00.000+08:00

Yay, our Batch is the overall champion for indoor games!!! That’s like pathetically losing almost every other matches throughout the whole week.. Sigh.. We’ll admit we’re 心有余而力不足… Oh wells, our batch still rawks!!!! Hahaha… Congrats to Aik Munn and Yii Ping (1st and 3rd in darts), Johnathan (Scrabbles), Kenneth (carrom?? Not sure..), Rachel (2nd in Sudoku) and to myself, Phillip and David (2nd, 3rd, 4th placing in chess).. Darn proud of ourselves!! Hopefully we’ll get not too bad results in bowling 2day and we’re all done for the week!! RED HOT BATCH 3 GO TO THE FIGHT TO THE WIN!!! Still haven’t get any full cheerleader pictures yet so please wait patiently longer ok??

PS To Ili Farhana, and CBN teammate in the KL state chess team 2003, luckily I didn’t let u gals down too much after so many years of not touching chess!! At least I didn’t lose yet in matches… Lol.. To MBS teammates in 2007 in the KL team, I still haven’t brush up my speed chess skills… Sorry… Will practise soon.. Meet you guys in opens next time ok??

Of Melissa’s birthday, ADSAlympics and cheerleading…

2009-04-25T11:47:00.001+08:00

This is the sixth day I’m back in Kedah… sigh… Miss KL so so so so so much already…We’re just back from a holiday and apparently are being thrusted into exam mode straightaway… Ugh, disturbingly spiteful.. Especially since end of this semester would be our second year’s final exam.. Sighs….Comparing all dental years’ final exams, this is supposedly the hardest.. Sighs for the third time… Oh wells, kick those thoughts aside for now and let’s see what happened on the fourth week of the fourth month in my life..

Other than NOT studying at all for my Malaysian Studies mid term paper, we have ADSAlympics this week in history, a one of a kind olympic for us, dental students with events going strong and continuous for around one and a half week non-stop.. Throughout this whole week, I’m in our batch’s cheerleading squad so yeah, am really really tired with the end result being Gerviene and I lost our amazing voices due to much shouting and cheering.. Her case is more serious though coz.. well, for all those who know me, you know how powerful my voice is and can be right? (I dunno whether to feel happy or sad writing that down =p) Will post up cheerleaders’ picture and choreographed cheer dance in the next post..

Then on Tuesday night celebrated Melissa’s birthday, my ex-爱人 (She said it, not me!! I’m innocent k??!!lol..) at Eternal Zone, a buffet cum BBQ place in a quite secluded place in SP.. (mainly coz I never knew of its existence before this..=p) But after my recent Yaki Yaki trip, all other food outlets with similar concept holds no appeal to me so I can’t review bout the food there alrights?? However, it’s a good place to go to when you’re seriously hungry, lol, since it is actually quite cheap while you fill to your heart’s content.. There is also a karaoke room there for aspiring singers..

Melissa being really happy it seems…

Some of the hungry people busy surrounding the BBQ and steamboat cooking set..
Haha, was real hungry after ADSAlympics with cheerleaders cheering and contestants playing hard..

A red sea of ppl.. Lol, the red jersey’s our class shirt for ADSAlympics.. Looks like a bunch of MU ~~hooligans~~ supporters, don’t you think?? =p Luckily there’s no serious football match going on nowadays..

Some of the crazy people all stuffed inside the karaoke room…

Will post up more stuffs on the red hot players in my class and the even hotter (=p) cheerleaders soon.. Til then, adios!

Random updates…Yaki-yaki buffet restaurant, Han Han noodles house

2009-04-23T11:49:00.000+08:00

      So yes, sorry everyone for the delay… Was reaaaaaaaaaaly having fun in KL during my much needed one week break that I didn’t even have time to get online… Sorry… Anyways, promised you guys I’ll update on Yaki-Yaki so here goes…

    Am guessing that through many food blogs you’ll see pictures of the ambience, deco, food and such so I’ll skip those and just write about the place k? (Fine, I’ll admit the other reason I’m skipping the pictures is because I was too busy gobbling food down to remember to take them..sorry!!) Let’s start… Well, since my family and I went during the 50% off promotion period-which is til the end of this month by the way-on Easter Sunday, the queue was darn long 20 minutes before they’re even open for diners.. Many were turned out because they didn’t make reservation in advance and I was totally pleased I did, lol..

     The place is easy to find and it looks quite decent with its yellow and black theme.. Kinda like its simple yet friendly dim atmosphere.. Foodwise, it’s just so-so and the choice is very very much limited.. Was really disappointed because a lot of food were not there on the day we went… There was no scallop at all, (like, what the..?? None at all?? It’s not like they’re giving us big ones anyways..) no soft shell crabs and a lack of coconuts supply…Had to queue up each time for coconuts which may be finished by the time you reached the front of the line and you’ll have to stand there another 20minutes for the next batch to come out..So if you’re going there alone, you’ll most probably end up queuing up most of the time, whether it’s for coconuts, for ice-cream or what nots… However, to be fair to them, with the promotion price, I’d say it barely scraped through my standard… With the normal price the management fixed for the meal, I’ll not go back there ever again… My bro seems to like the all you can eat concept though coz he asked me to bring him there again the next week… –.-" am so jealous of people who can never grow fat… Sigh… But too bad, am not bringing him there again!! Bwahahahaha…
Ambience- 3.5 out of 5
Food-2.5 outta 5 (Though judging on purely BBQ meat and sashimi, maybe I’ll give it a 3.5.. I dunno? None in he family can eat much.. Such a pity)
Service-4 outta 5
Price- 4 outta 5 (Only during its promotion period, otherwise, I’ll give it a 1)

Barbeque-ing some food.. The “mua-chi”’s nice though..

Some jellies…

Yes, I had failed my purpose and call of duty to take pictures there cause I was really happy going around in search of food…Spare me and my-deprived-in-university-stomach alrights??

Ok, next up, review on a restaurant I saw which was on another food blog, Han Han restaurant in Jalan Wawasan, Ampang.. It got a really good review and was on some food magazine so I decided to give it a try since as an Ampang resident, I must fulfill my calling to be able to tell others abou the food around huh? So I’ll put the pictures up 1st..

Han Han restaurant exterior.. The Chinese characters mean “Noodle house”.. Hate the too-simple-feel-like-crying deco though..

Their pricey set of food.. This costs RM16.90.. My family and I do not mind paying for good food but this food ain’t good and the place ain’t good and the price is hence very not good..

Since it’s a noodle house, of course we gave their noodles a try and…
Was very disappointed…
Ugh, my mum cooks much better… Hey, even my instant noodle cooking skill taste better.It’s bland.. tasteless…
Worst was we found hair in…UGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

My sis loved this “loh shee fun” though I tasted better..

My bowl of sweet potato porridge… Well, sigh, no comment…

爱玉冰 “ai yu bing”
Was okay..

Our bowl of ais kacang… The ones at Jo En’s place was so much cheaper and nicer.. You can see the picture for yourself somewhere in this blog..

As a conclusion, Han Han was so overrated.. Food’s expensive with real bland taste.. May not even be hygienic coz we found hair in their food… I end the review just like that.. Judge for yourself whether to believe it… Can’t believe I wasted time, money and effort to review that place.. Goes to show how powerful and confusing the net is…Though I beg to differ with their say.. Hate that place very much…

Oh, and my camera phone’s real awesome!! The pictures are so edible…So proud of it… haha…

Current state

2009-04-05T22:32:00.000+08:00

So folks, this would be your only update on me for the next week or so… Yes, that’s the extent an exam has on a dental student in AIMST University.. Be content I’d even put this up.. I could have simply disappear for 2 weeks but well, here I am, showing you, my dear readers how responsible I am.. Lol.. Til my next update on the (hopefully) great food in Yaki-Yaki buffet restaurant, adios!! (I THINK it’ll at least be good, though I’m judging based on the limited reviews done there..) Will do a good review to all those interested alrights?

Trying to stuff things into my head last-minute like usual..
And why are we tortured with memorising drugs’ name, action etc even on diarrhoea, constipation or diuretics? It’s not like a patient would come to me & be like, “Hey doctor, not only am I having a toothache, can you treat my diarrhoea with watery yellowish s**t these few days now as well?”

*Faints*
-Information overload, automatic shutdown-

PS Please do pray you’ll NOT see me updating this blog for the time being, for my sake… Much thanks and love, xoxo..

Frog-田鸡- plus eel plus porridge experience in Sungai Petani

2009-04-02T11:33:00.001+08:00

So yes, as the title suggests, this is a blog post on the food trip of mine last week with my roommate where I ate the thing I didn’t want to taste since last time after I saw the uncooked version and imagined it being in my stomach… Ughh…

As you all would know, the picture on the left shows frogs and the picture below shows cooked frogs… And guess what, I managed to gut them down after all!! (Much to even my mum’s surprise when I called her and told her about this feat of mine.. Lol..)

The cooked frogs swimming in a pot instead of a pond now.. Their meat are kinda like chicken but much more smooth and tender, no kidding!! I guess we Asians really can eat anything under the sun huh?

RM18 for two

This is a pot of eel to go with your pot of porridge.. Yum…

RM18 for two

And hey, eating eel’s not that disgusting k? It’s like eating sushi but cooked!! (ok, so there are sushi haters but….) And I do so love unagi too!!

How can you hate eel after tasting unagi? (But my dad does, we tried to trick him into eating them many times but he being smart and all managed to deflect all our attacks.. Ishhh…)

Oh, this shop is actually a porridge shop so if you’re thinking about eating the meats mentioned above without the porridge? Well, I think you’re missing something important…

RM2 for a pot

Do leave me a comment if you’re in Sungai Petani and wanna give this shop a try alrights? I’d be glad to supply you with the direction to go there.. I would recommend the porridge which to me is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery cheap while the pots of meats are quite honestly, actually pricey.. They serve veges too apparently but conveniently forgot to tell us when we were there so, a there you have it, your full set of complete meal!!

World’s Earth day

2009-03-28T21:33:00.000+08:00

Apparently, it’s World’s Earth day today and everyone around the world’s supposed to switch off their lights for an hour from 8.30pm to 9.30pm (M’sian time I guess) to save the environment, resources, reduce energy consumption, yada yada yada... Well, okay, I guess it’s fine, it’s not such a hard thing to do right? So yes, let me blog about updates this week.. I’ll say it’s been real fun and that I just HAVE to blog about it.. First, there was Rachel’s surprise-very-early-birthday party at the revamped Le’Boss, then there was…..

…..So there you have it!! TOLD you it’s a must write for me and a must read for you didn’t I? Life’s like awesome…*imagine surfer’s style drawl and gesture*

PS Part of the post cannot be recovered due to the writer’s unintelligible mumbo-jumbo written while trying(but apparently not succeeding) to type in the dark during Earth’s hour... The earth is saying she’s not sorry for all the inconveniences caused.

SeReNe: Long live mother earth!!

Qiu Ping’s pre-b’day bash at Autumn cafe

2009-03-24T14:16:00.000+08:00

Yeah yeah, it’s the same ol’ same ol’…But hey, I’m not complaining so it’s fine by me, you jealous ppl, just take a look at the pictures instead if you don’t wanna read me yap on and on..

Qiu Ping in a really nice dress..
(Though donned on reluctantly as we poured water on her on purpose.. Lol..)

Such a Hawaian feel…
Man, should have asked you to dance a hula dance 2 remember this day.. Ishhhh, too bad…

Those that went to celebrate her birthday..Hope no one is left out in this picture!!
PS This picture was taken after oh so many shots!! Appreciate it!
PPS Why am I the only one in a sharp coloured shirt? Other than the lovely pink-shirt friend of qp..

Review on that cafe is… Thumbs DOWN!! My gosh, the service’s bad (though the waiter’s real cute =p), the food’s so-so, the place’s typical and the seatings? Crampy.. Ugh…Do not give this new place a try if you’re:
(a) Hungry, as they’ll take forever to serve you
(b) Going in a big group, as you’ll have to squeeze and refer back to (a)
(c ) Expecting, anything at all…
The only good thing here is I guess, the Wii and the PS2 which are there for customers..But only if there’s a few of you there.. Otherwise, you’ll just have to fight for it.. Oh, and the other good thing may be the waiter/ waitresses who’re kinda cute??(though one of the waitress’s darn rude/obnoxious/simply needs a slap on her skinny face)

That aside, since we’re celebrating qp’s birthday, I’ll let the complaints pass for now...And hope that everyone had much fun as me!!
May you have a GREATTTTTTTTTTT year, Qiu Ping!!!

Oh, and on a personal level, this is a special gift to QP, it’s a private between us thing so, don’t ask me why!! Lol..

Wanted to find one picture with 21 eggs in it but found out how hard that is so… Here’s 22, ignore 1… Oh, and check what the red egg says!! That’s SO for you!! My unique present to you!! Hahahahaha..

Aftermath of a holiday…

2009-03-22T11:51:00.000+08:00

And no, it’s not about serious stuffs like litters tourists left behind, or fragments of tourist sites due to some bombs I encounter, or dead animals I saw due to pollutions we help produce, heck, it’s not even about those hot hunks I MAY encounter during the holidays.. And no, it’s not about how fat/ dark/ ugly/ broke/ sad/ regret etc I feel after a holiday.. Nope, those are well, those are not for me now…(maybe I’ll blog about those when I’m feeling bimbo-ish…) Right now, this post is just to show you what are still left （戦品=p） after those shopping sprees around places I went in the past one month plus… Lol…
Stuffs at the top of the pile are from Pangkor island, since the first blog post I officially wrote in this new site…
*They’re not fully gone simply because there are inedible stuffs like “keropok” that need to be cooked.. Or else, trust me, they’d not make it to this picture… Lol…*
Famous tid-bits from Ipoh and Sitiawan, Perak. As you can see, some are opened and are long gone down the toilet bowl track after digestion from my very effective stomach and intestines…
*Please forgive the disgusting-ness here*

So if at anytime soon, you see someone like this on her way back to KL, well, you’ll know who that person is k?
*Hence, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT pass me your rubbish to collect or something or else you’ll get a good kick from my long, pretty legs.. Lol…*
Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait……x 1000000000000 to go home after the 3rd continous assessment!!! Argh……. And indulge myself in Japanese BBQ buffet with my family, and J. Co donuts, and Korean BBQ again, and mum’s awesome cooking, and..and.. and…. *drools*..

So, till then…This is the extent dentistry students study… That’s the way uh huh uh huh we like it..

Queue buster..

2009-03-15T18:11:00.000+08:00

When down to the cafeteria for dinner one of the days as a change and was shocked at the loooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG queue!! I mean, I get the point we’re hungry and all but this..?? Amazing.. So…

We queued behind.. without even knowing what the whole big deal was..Lol.. Typical M’sians and S’poreans I guess, very the “”kia su” spirit… So, when we finally got nearer to the serving counter, saw a really nice sign posted up with this written on it..(Which really surprised me coz ….Well, just cause…) Was kinda anticipating whether they’ve even come up with a mascot and balloon-giveaways since it’s like such a rare event.. Lol…

“Real” chicken rice from Town…
(!%$@%**& So we’ve been served fake meals all these while?? @!!@$%$&^^Now I know why they tasted so unreal…lol..)

But seriously, the queue was so long, (4 of us finished our meal and the last in line wasn’t even halfway to the counter..crazy I tell you) you’d think it was for a better reason like this…

Come get your “real” free kisses!!
1st come 1st served!!
While stock last!!
Terms and conditions apply!!
Limited basis!!!
..and no, I don’t know how a real kiss differs from my fake one…

Enjoy peeps!!

It's a blur blur world, lol..

2009-03-11T20:27:00.002+08:00

Scene: Ground floor elevator lift door
Characters: My roommate and I with special cameo appearance by two other classmates

*Door opens and both of us went into the elevator*
Me: Hey, there's a cafeteria receipt on the floor.
Roommate: Really? What does it say?*Talking while chomping on a Mamee junk food*
Me: Someone bought two things totaling to RM2.30, wonder what they were?
Roommate: Let's see, RM1.00 and RM1.30. Hmm, a "roti canai" and a glass of tea? *continues chomping on the packet of Mamee*
Me: No way, roti canai doesn't costs that much ok? Maybe "roti telur"? Or "roti planta"? How much do they cost anyway?
Roommate: I have no idea, then maybe a can of drink?

Right up to this moment, did you notice what was wrong with this scene??

Though no prize will be given away, but I really do applaud you if you could guess what was it, you know?Hehe...

Give up??

Ok, I'll continue with the story...

Me: Maybe the receipt was for...
*Door opens*
*Roommate steps out in between the doors*
*Lo and behold, Aik Munn and Kimra were standing outside looking kind of surprised.*
Roommate: Ei? There has been a cancellation of class which we're not informed about is it? *continue eating her junk food happily*
Aik Munn: Huh?
Kimra: Er....
Me: *saw the pots of flowers and the main entrance doors* (Yes, all ye who managed to guessed correctly...This was the problem with the whole elevator scene) Dear roommate, we didn't press the button for third floor ler...
Roommate: *Still looks at me funnily and "protecting" me from going out to the "third floor" in case there's no class* *while somehow managing to hold on to her precious packet*
Me: *Clears throat* We are STILL on ground floor. *Kinda wanting to pull her back into the elevator immediately*
*Aik Munn and Kimra comes in*
Roommate and I suddenly realising how silly we were and laughed out loud at the situation all the way to class and in the class till our stomachs ache..

So yeah, there you go people, the newest blur incident from me.. Lol...

Aik Munn: Yeah la, funniest thing was how your roommate can still cling onto and continue eating her packet of Mamee...

*Roommate's name have not been published to try to protect her image... Oh wait, her permanent image has always and will be Miss Blur leh? Hmm... Oh wells, you guys be nice and try not to put her name in when commenting too alright? Sigh, I'm such a kind kid... Hahahahaha..*

What dental students REALLY do...to unwind =p

2009-03-07T02:48:00.004+08:00

All these are true stories k?? Based on real people and all...Unfortunately, I can't put pics up of us being all stressed out and all to compare, like a before-and-after-effect or something to show you why we need to relax, cause the pics would scare the wits outta anyone reading my blog who wanna study dentistry like me.. Lol...2 bad, if not, you'll KNOW how little things, simple in your life, can be such special moments for us.. *sigh*....

Haha, am just kidding!! We're not THAT pathetic.. Anyway, if I were to look for the right pics to scare you, it would be a piece of cake..I just need to arm myself with a camera for like, 5 minutes near exam time and I'll get a week's worth of pictures I can do assignments with under the title "modern people-students especially,dental students to be exact- has shockingly high levels of blood pressure/stress/white hair/etc etc!" You get the point.. Btw, I just notice it so happens all the pictures below are taken from our dental technology lab.. (Hmm....wonder what it implies?? =p) So here are the pics!

Hand made oven baked yummy cookies by Youming!!! XD
. . . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
Ok, fine, they're actually acrylic products.. You know, like those you find on dentures(or false teeth as they're usually known)ur grandparents used to scare you with??

Gerviene with her family of acrylic starfishes..

Closer look at their happy (though crumply) faces.. =p

Here's me at my work station... Looks real nice ain't it? Not really the same as the imagination you cropped out of some old rotten bench with bad illumination and us bending over some loud equipments with earmuffs on huh?? Haha, I assume that's how the ~~older~~ ancient dentists used to do their thing..

Lastly, a friendly reminder to you to clean your teeth properly or they'll all get pulled out and fixed on a model like this for the next batch of dental students k? Smile!!

*I wrote FRIENDLY reminder didn't I? So you're NOT allowed to throw shoes at me ok? And that means no casualty by friendly fire either!!*

Weekend getaway... Part 2

2009-03-02T18:26:00.003+08:00

Yes, as promised, this is the second part of our weekend fun, friends and food getaway... *Sigh, if only we were doing this in some remote area lik Timbuktu or something, it'll be more exciting huh?? ok, scratch that, I'd rather prefer an island.... dreams away...*

Saturday-28th of February
The next morning, with groggy eyes and all, we somehow managed to wake up in time to go to the market to buy stuffs for BBQ later at night... Since the market is just like any other market, I shall spare you the sight in case you start imagining disgusting odours drifting thru your nostril soon... Anyway, then we had breakfast at this Chinese coffee shop where Jo En-our hostess and my darling roommate-and her family eats faithfully almost every morning.. A whole new level of dedication ppl!! Lol...

A bowl of noodle served there.. "Lo mee"
Simple and delightful...

After sleeping thru the most the the rest of the afternoon, lik this...

Can you spot how many "bodies" are there?? Lol, check out a dead ostrich body there as well!! Hahahahha...

Ahem, joke's aside, then came lunch, where Jo En (supposedly, bwahaha..), her mum and her maid proceeded to come up with this spread.. Yum... Funny thing is, even after Jo En announced loudly that we're eating at her place, AGNES, was so blur, she went in the room to get her purse out... Which resulted in all of us laughing quite loud... Lik... Earth to Agnes, Earth to Agnes, come back now, come back now!! hahaha...

Yum!!! Which we all promptly gulped down leaving her other family members empty in the stomach.. Sorry, uncle!!!

You would think we would be full after that meal right, but NOOOOOooooooo, there we go again, out we go, for a tea time meal at a Siam stall near Jo En's house at Taman Indera, Jitra.. Do leave me a comment if you wanna know the exact location.. Since it's a Thailand thingy, do expect the food to be sliiightly on the spicy edge... But the "ais kacang" there's mmm, mmm, YUMMY!!! The best most of us ever tasted... Serious!!! Just check the pictures out and decide for yourself...

Spicy & sour "som tam".. It's a Thai dish made up of shreds of unripe papaya, peanuts, their signature paste and chilis..Real yummy but a tad too spicy for me...Not recommended for those with a weak tongue...

There're fried noodles, rice etc served as well... A so-so review though...

The main attraction there would be this humongous giant of an "ais kacang" tower!! Yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..... And unbelievably cheap!! It's priced a a meagre price of RM1.20.. yes, you've read correctly, ONE RINNGGIT AND TWENTY CENTS!! Like, WHAT??!!!! Trust me, this is a not-to-be-missed-thing...

After that huge tower for each of us girls, we are actually ready to brace fire and smoke for a barbeque session... We are Malaysians, hear us-or our stomachs to be more exact-ROOOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!! Scary actually, haha, but we don't really care so...

Agnes and I getting ready to burn some serious meat...

(L-R) Jo En's younger sis, Melissa, Agnes, Pui Shie (being funny) and me (being, well, the silly me... Lol...)

Missing from the pic: Youming, our photographer, Jo En (who most probably was busy frying some French Fries now) and Jo En's younger bro..

Jo En and Youming finally having a chance to be in the happy affair...
Which is kinda spoilt by Melissa who looks like she just smelt a tankful of ~~shit~~, human excrement... Hehe...

It was supposedly a trip to celebrate Pui Shie's birthday but it was more of a friends' get-together-party which was really really nice... So, Happy B'day PS and thank you for being born on this day ...(so that we get to do all these now...hahaha...)

I don't know why, but Agnes and Pui Shie were like suddenly addicted to alcohol-Agnes especially even though she's such a weak drinker (Whoops, pls don't attempt to make her drunk soon please...)-so Jo En whipped up another round of alcohol for us.. A toast to mock an older bunch of us or something.. Lol...

Vodka with lemon juice and a dash of salt

Jo En focusing hard to get a good proportion I guess.. With her younger bro giving advices.. lol... Awww....

A toast to friends and good times together.. Cheers...

There you have it, Part 2 of the series.. Gotta give it to me for being so efficient huh?? Lol... Will come up with Part 3 of the series soon ppl, wait patiently k?? Ciaoz for now!! Much love..

Weekend getaway...Part 1

2009-03-01T21:58:00.010+08:00

*Disclaimer: I will NOT be held responsible for the increased gastric juice secretion nor the bulging eyes after you read my blog, in particular this post... Nor will I be blamed for making you jealous/envious/beh song/不爽/妒忌 at how much we ate and how nice the food was... You are forewarned... Proceed with caution*

So, in summary, in one word, ~~wonderful, no, marvelous, no, magnificent, no, (~~ARGH!!!) Ok, let's make it just plain AWESOME!!! (Does this still count as one word??) Oh wells, so yes, 28th of February is Pui Shie's birthday and we chose to celebrate her special day by celebrating it for.....3 days in a row!! Haha, yes, we're VEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRY free nowadays.. Book a date with me ASAP..(*while ~~stocks~~ dates last* *rules and regulations applied*)

Friday-27th of February
Kidnapped the b'day gurl to my car and blindfolded her with check this out, heart-shaped-paper-sunglasses!!! Made lovingly by her roommate... Lol, now THAT was a sight to behold.. Next drove her for almost an hour all the way to Autocity in Penang while lying to her that only Agnes n I were there with her... Her other roommates, Melissa and Youming were in another car drove by my reli goofy good roommate, Jo En and (yes, I'm dedicating this post to you first...proud or not?? Hehe..) we were chasing each other the whole journey.. How we manage to race and yet make the blindfolded b'day girl fall asleep? Well, I don't know myself either!! Lol... Our destination- a buffet place that serves all things Asian-Tao.

The outlook from the main road..

Yes, that's the b'day girl with the oh-so-cute blindfold and Agnes..(That's the humiliating price she has to pay in return for the 3-day-celebration... Well worth it I would say, don't you??)

"Yay, I can finally see!!!!"
XD

Driver 1 & 2 for the night...

Melissa, me and Agnes... All looking demure
before tucking in the food...

The full entourage to Tao on that day
(L-R back row) Agnes, Pui Shie, Melissa, Jo En, Youming
(Front awesome spotlight VIP row) ME!!
Lol, I didn't meant to steal the limelight k? It just so happened that I'm too tall to stand with the others alright??
Oh, special thanks to our senior, Jolene for snapping this for us!! Much thanks..

Us posing while obstructing traffic..=p

A glimpse of the interior.. Real comfortable and zen-ish...

All for this lovely Pui Shie, the b'day girl who can't wait any longer to eat... haha, cute!!!

Grilled scallops!! 2 thumbs up from all of us!!!

Sashimi set

Grilled lamb shoulder

Seafood skewers...

Don't really remember but this would be the fried-mayo-crabstick-or-other thingy?? Sorry!! There's too much food and I don't remember!! Do correct me if I'm wrong k?

Cod fish..
...I presume?? I dunno!! I'm not the one with the menu!! I just... eat... haha...

Fried shrimps and sorts...

The Jackpot sushi that Pui Shie ordered cause of its nice Chinese name.. And liked it anyways even though she's like such an anti-rawness-person...

Tofu

You wouldn't believe the amount of food we ate that night! okay, it wasn't an-extravagantly-awful-much due to unforeseen circumstance with Jo En's car but all in all, I would say I would definitely go back for another round next time.. It's incredibly money well spent as there's a free flow of sushi, salad and drinks for the whole time you're there... Do check their website out if you're interested.. (A friendly advise to Tao though, do update your site, it's plain... unhelpful actually... Oh, and Tao should consider hiring me as their ambassador, I'll be real good in being one!!! Lol... To blog readers interested, I would suggest you giving them a call to get more information..)
*Not all dishes were photographed due to the amount and the speed we ate that night...lol...*

After this all-you-can-eat-pit-stop, we're finally on our way to Jo En's ~~house mansion~~ castle in Jitra.. Been there twice so this would be my third time there.. A bit paiseh actually... =p So yes, other than the irritating outpour of rain from heaven above for almost half an hour to an hour at night which caused driving to be at a crawling pace, we reached her house around 11.30pm.. Then at the strike of 12, we did NOT celebrate Pui Shie's b'day.. The reason?? Cause it's fun to tease PS I guess.. so she waited... and waited... and waited... and waited somemore... Lol... But yeah, we weren't that bad so...

There you go, her b'day cake!!! (Btw, why are there candle holders together with purchase only in Jitra???!!! It's so unfair!! KL and SP are such a stingy places...)

The really surprised but happy b'day girl -who's in love with her uni apparently-after waiting for so long wondering why are we so dreadful.. Lol...

A photograph for remembrance sake..
HaPpY BiRtHdAy Pui Shie!!!!

(Btw, we were all in our pajamas already coz we were "getting ready to sleep"...)

Bacardi and Coca-Cola that Jo En cropped out on the 1st night... *Yes, there are more to come...*

So, cheers!! Hold your breath till Part 2... even 3 of this series!! *clink*!!

PS All of the other 5 ppl, u are obliged to comment!!!!! Or else....

**Yes, how it COULD be, not how it is or always has been though...Sigh...**

Oh wells, I could live with that.. After hearing many complaints from many people about how bl***y hot it was for the past few weeks, it's a very nice change to be able to live with the angels or cherubim or 仙女 or whoever lives among the clouds right now for a while.. Oh God, You truly haven't forsaken this place after all... (Amen!!)

Imagine this kinda environment greeting you the moment you open your eyes in the morning.. Ahhh, truly wonderful!!

My goodness, check out the visibility range.. It's so misty!!

There you have it, an almost arial view of the centre part of our university.. Brr... Oh dear, now who's gonna believe me when I say I so do not study over the mountains and the sea?? This picture's like telling everyone, "lookey here, SeReNe so lives on the mountains!!!" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo... (man, there's even echo effects now..)

So, ahoy mates, dress code for the moment, jackets n overalls!!

PS Will be updating REALLLL soon with a post with lotsa lotsa scrumptious pics!! So, brace yourself if you're on a diet or your internet connection's slow k??

A lil' of here and there

It's the time of the module/term where we're doing exactly nothing and yet we can get busy doing nothing.. Sigh... Am sure this predicament is understood by all university students like me.. Help!!! The sudden change in atmosphere in the Simulation Lab nowadays isn't helping either.. Scary.. plain scary.. Luckily I haven't screwed up...yet... And I'm constantly bored and sleepy.. Lack of activities to do it seems? But the pile of notes sitting quietly in my bag is begging to differ... They're like calling out, "read me, read me"... (Oh wait, they can't be quiet if they're saying that out loud, could they?? Hmm...) But nah, having an owner like me, they'll know to shut up soon coz well, they'll hear from their senior notemates bout how unlikely their call to be noticed will be bothered until the time comes.. Lol...That is unless it's 1 week before the exam, if not..

Me getting bored in class

Oh, on another kinda-exciting note, my dear roommate and I went on a pond scouring adventure just yesterday.. Yes, there is actually a pond in our university (2 to be exact) full of lotust flowers and leaves.. Didn't see frogs jumping or croaking around though.. So the end result is this!!

A room filled with half-dead plants coz we forgot to put them in water straightaway... Lol...

*Sorry for the messy state I seem to be in.. This was taken after we went jogging so... But hey, my blog, my life, suck it in ppl!! It's all about being natural, N-A-T-U-R-A-L!!! haha..*

Our class seems to be very much into venting out their boredom/ frustration/ anger/ whatever state of mind they're in right now by shooting at other classmates nowadays.. SERIOUSLY!! And everyone knows who's gonna be shooting at them cause it's a mutual agreement.. Sigh.. Violent barbaric people we are.. Oh, I may be participating in this gruesome activity too..

Yeah, yeah, smart *rse, am talking about paintball... Party-pooper.. Let me imagine it in another light can't you? Hmph.. Will update on that soon if I happen to be on site, wait patiently till then?
