sixth form night 2007..

Just came back from ICCC. The food was not bad but most people who went there were not interested about the food. It's more of a social gathering for them. I love both the social and food part.


Eve and me

Taken with my 1.3 megapixel camera phone. That's why the pictures look bad.


Clockwise from top: Me, Chin Hwa and Adelena

Slightly better. I guess the lighting was better this time. =)


Syafiqah and me

Hey, now only I realise I uploaded the photos chronologically. The worst quality to the best!


Me and Priya

This sweet girl sits next to me in class. Funny and sincere she is.


The crowd on the dance floor

It was better than last year's. Will be putting up more photos here as soon as I have got hold of them. =D

my trip to the pearl of orient..

On the 15th and 16th September, I had quite a nice trip to Penang. Some fun events happened and many pictures were snapped. We first went to The Botanical Gardens where the monkeys roam free. I've never seen so many monkeys together at once.

If you wish to see the monkeys clearer, click on the pictures.


Can see the monkey on the bench behind us?


Some other 'great climbers' along the bridge.

The water below was flowing swiftly and yet they could cross the bridge using the pipes along the bridge. Can you see the yellow pipe on the left of the picture? The monkeys sure have fantastic grips.


Hey, buddy! Want some bananas??

I stretched out my clenched fist and that little fella came closer to look. When I opened my palm, he ran away. He thought I really had some bananas for him!


The baby monkey is so cute!!

We saw the dad carrying it around outside the gardens and it was clinging to him tightly. How I wish I could kidnap (or should I say, monkey-nap?) it and let it join the rest of my pets at home.

Later that evening, we went to Gurney Plaza and it was there when all the exciting moments began. The Pensonic 25th Anniversary Roadshow was held there and they had plenty of games and performances. Some famous people were there too. I'll keep you guessing till I reach the 'famous people part, ok? I volunteered to play a game without knowing what game it was. As soon as I got up the stage, I could not help but to think that it's game over for me...

Standing on stage, dumbfounded.

I HAVE TO PUT A DISMANTLED TABLE FAN BACK TOGETHER!

My dad joined too.


Struggling to put the pieces together.

Well, of course they did gave us a demo before asking us to fix the fan. I'm not a genius and I need to watch and learn.

In the end, I lost. The winner was a girl who fixed her fan within like, 30 seconds or so? Maybe she's a natural born talent in this field. =D


From left: Mom, Steve Yap and me

If anyone of you have watched Trio And A Bed, he was Amber Chia's boyfriend. I don't know anything more about him. Go google him up for more info.



Guess I don't have to put a caption here as everyone knows who she is, right? She's so friendly that she can chat with you like an old friend.



Now you see why I say she's friendly? She was willing to snap so many photos with us when there were other people waiting to snap with her!

The next event was an ironing competition. The person who can iron the best wins.


Mom and sis joined in this event.

The DJ asked Amber to do the demo for this game. Reluctantly but sportingly, she did. Quoted from the DJ, "So this is how Amber irons when she is late for her fashion shows."


Left and right, back and forth in one swift movement.


Nice or not? Clap for me, please!!


The contestants' turn. Can my mom and sis defeat the small boy?


The end result: Definitely looked better than Amber's work. No offence, Amber. =P


And the winner is, my mom!! Tada!!


The prize was a dry iron. Anyone interested in buying it? I can sell it to you at a lower price.


Performance after the ironing competition.


Alan Yun (who starred in Gubra) and mom


Feeling so much shorter that time.

I seriously need to stand on stilts to snap with these people. However, no matter how tall they are, they can never beat the guy below:



He's the second tallest man in the world. I snapped this photo at Queensbay Mall using my phone silently. The guard in the picture was looking at me while I pretended that I was texting someone when the truth was, I was busy getting a good shot of him. Can't remember his name though. All I know is that he's a Pakistani.

So the picture above is an illegal picture. You will need to pay RM15 to have a picture with him. The money collected will be used to help the unfortunate ones.

Another best thing that I enjoyed about this trip was the dinner at the hotel. We were suppposed to be dining by the sea but the wind was too strong so we had to eat indoors.


The desserts which caused me to gain so much calories


Indonesian layered cake, some puddings and jellies.

My brother said the jellies and pudding in the glass was meant to be a decoration. I don't really care whether it was a deco or not. It's too beautiful and delicious to resist!

That's about the summary of my trip. I want to go for another holiday!

P/S: Praise the Lord for forbidding Mr. Tsunami from paying his visit to Penang. =)

just dropping by..

A very, very short update after a short break from exam:

Finally the exam's over and I got my first paper back. Maths Paper 1. My teacher gave me 50% discount out of the 100%. So that is how it is. Just felt lucky that I could pass.

Will be going to Penang tomorrow and hope Mr. Tsunami will spare me and my family.

Got to go now. May God's blessings be upon us during our trip to Penang! :)

crunchy roll broke down??

There is something wrong with Crunchy Roll. I guess it was not available for viewing at the right time since it's the examination period. Hope they will repair the site soon.

I want to watch some movies! =)

my inner blood group..

What's Your Inner Blood Type?

I am already having B group blood in my veins. That just shows I am what I meant to be.=)

i'm going to have a wisdom tooth!!

Econs Paper 1 is over. Tomorrow, MATHS Paper 1. Hope they give direct questions. :D

(Note to self: Stop dreaming about getting easy papers for TRIALS. That will never happen!)

The back gum on my left jaw is swelling and hurting so badly. Wisdom tooth? Wish I could gain more wisdom from the tooth. But it's not even visible and I can't feel it with my tongue. I didn't know it's so hard for the tooth to come out. Just have to bear with the pain until it finally emerges.

Update on Nani's and Nano's memorial spot.


Before those beautiful little flowers were planted in.


After mom pouring all her blood and sweat in planting the beautiful yellow, pink and orange flowers. And some green, green leaves?

Mom decorated the memorial and turned it into a paradise from a grave pile of dirt. I hope all the other terrapins are doing fine so I do not have to write another obituary. It's painful to write even if I do not know the terrapins.

My gum is still aching. Wisdom tooth, give me all the wisdom that you've got!

five more days..

One day down. Five more days to go. Come fast, 13th of September! I just can't wait to take a short break before October reaches me.

I have registered at Olympia College today for the Hotel Management course commencing next April . Some funny events happened there. Won't be elaborating further. Too lazy to type. Hehe.

P/S: Today's paper was like Hagrid's rock cakes. HARD to swallow, really!

stpm 2007 time table..

Just came back from taking a stroll at the night market. Bought some junks and sweets. Today does not seem to be like Independence Day but more of a normal day for me.

General Paper is on Monday. So much facts yet so little time. I can't wait till 29 November 2007 to come! After that, I can have a good rest from all those killer papers.

Here's the STPM exam time table for this year. Had trouble downloading it so click on the site. =)

Part I and Part II

golden anniversary of malaysia..

Another eleven minutes, the skies in every single state of Malaysia will be decorated and at the same time polluted with fireworks. This is the only time when air pollution is allowed!

I love tomorrow so, so much. Everybody knows why. It's one of the days I enjoy being a Malaysian. =)

50 years is actually a long time. I don't know whether I would be able to be a 50-year-old, wrinkled woman in future. It's an achievement to be 50! So, what more can I say...

HAPPY GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY, MALAYSIA!

crystle the poser..

Crystle is the potential contestant for Malaysia's Next Top Dog Model. Below are the photographs from her portfolio.

Had fun dressing Crystle with a piece of cloth and a curtain strip last Friday. Notice how the strip was tied into a bow. I can even give her away as a gift during Christmas!

And this was the result of the 'photoshoot':


'Hey, I thought I am supposed to be Little Red Riding Hood?? How come my hood is BLUE?'


'Oh, can't complain much. I have to be the wolf so I can't wear the red hood.'


'Faster give me my food for being a good poser!'


'Phew! The awful costume is finally off!'


'What? Want another shot of me? This will be the last one. No more, okay?'


'Oi! Don't try to cheat me! One photo does not mean four shots in one frame!'


'I love sitting in the car! Okay, you can snap me since I am so happy!!'

That's about it. We took her to the vet yesterday and had her vaccinated. The funniest part was when the vet inserted the thermometer into her butt. She jerked so much she nearly fell off the table. Funny dog, she is.

save our rhinos..

Extra class for BM is on tomorrow at 9.30 a.m.. Feeling lazy when exam is just two weeks away. I am kind of worried though. Everything seems so unimportant.

I need a lot of sleep. Sleeping off my problems seems to be the only way to get me away from them (that is if they do not start appearing in my dreams and turn diabetic-inducing dreams into nightmares).

On another note, I am supporting Honda's Campaign in Protecting the Almost-Extinct-Sumatran Rhinos.

So, if you are a great animal lover, do not hesitate to put the Rhino logo on your blog as proof of support towards the campaign.

crystle's first bath..

Crystle had her first bath yesterday! Look how wet she is!


'Oh, I can't believe I let them do this to me! Now I look so UGLY...'


'I am going to eat your hand. Yummy, delicious looking fingers. It's paw licking good!'

Crystle's in delusion after her bath. Maybe we accidently soaked her brain and her nerves gone haywire!

Anyway, she still looks fabulous, doesn't she? Her fur needs trimming though. What style should I give her? Skin head? Punk style? Or maybe Botak Chin style?

the greatest place for your delicious meals..

This happened two days ago. The restaurant was so 'fantastic' and it blew me away.

So, there is a new place in Jusco. Formerly it was Wooden House and now it's Food and Tea Restaurant. So inartistic for a classy restaurant, right? My dad was planning to try out a new place since we were late and so, there we went. We could not complain more after what we, I in particular, experienced.


The sesame-filled glutinous ball with gingerly-weird soup.

It tasted like the one which pregnant ladies drink.


Red beans dessert

So thick like glue. I think if I need glue, I can use this. Beautiful coloured glue.


French toast, half-eaten.

My sister ordered this and it was surprisingly quite delicious since the rest of the food looked like they came from Mars and Jupiter.


The environment inside the restaurant

Now I truly understands what it means by the proverb, 'Do not judge a book by its cover'. It may look authentic, but the service and food and pricing said otherwise.


Don't know what Shanghai shredded noodles

Okay, the story started like this. We went into the restaurant at 9pm and my dad ordered pork chop rice and my sister ordered French toast. I ordered the simplest food: kaya toast. I thought I would be the one to get my order first. After all, toast is not so difficult to make right??

The orders came without my meager kaya toast.

Okay, never mind. I waited longer.

.
.
.

.

Finally it was 9.30 pm.

WHERE IS MY TOAST?? I was getting hungrier and my dad and sis were now two bloated creatures. At that point of time, a waitress asked us whether we have any second orders since they were about to close.

To which, my dad gave a clever reply: 'First order also hasn't arrive. How to have second order?' Good one. Then she hurried away saying she will rush my order. Another waiter approached us asking us the same question. I suspected they have the same script to talk to customers. Again, my dad repeated his answer. He hurried away too giving the same assurance to rush the order in the kitchen.

I was at my boiling point when one man in suit came over and told me something unbelievable and almost impossible.

He spoke in Cantonese saying, 'I'm sorry. We have got your toast ready but we dare not serve it to you since we have some problem with it.'

What problem?? Their kaya turned rotten? Or they ate my order??

They can actually tell me the truth! I can accept if they say they buy expired kaya for their customers. I wondered what they had been doing in the kitchen with my toast since they did not even have the courage to tell me that I could not have the toast. Were the cooks standing around the toast shivering and didn't know what to do? And made me wasted half an hour of my life waiting for it?

So in the end, the man in suit asked me to ordered something else. I deliberately mentioned something like, 'I think I want McD porridge.'

I seriously wanted him to hear that. And I think he did because he looked rather uncomfortable after that.

I ordered the Shanghai shredded noodles which has mediocre taste. The dessert I ordered was not thirst-quenching so I drank the soup of the noodles which was undoubtedly full of preservatives.

The banner of the restaurant located by the escalator


I got so angry that I snapped this photo to warn the public about not going in there. I am sure the food court is a better option for meals.


The full banner


Yeah, even I am on the verge of dying from starvation, I will not come here. I would have died with my eyes opened sooner waiting for my kaya toast.

My rating of this fantastic restaurant? 0.5/5.

P/S: I give 0.5 for the layout of the restaurant. Not because I love it very much. Oh, all of you who would like to know what it's really like can go there. You might be lucky enough not to have to wait for your food, but the mystery of the kaya toast remains unsolved.

WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED TO MY KAYA TOAST?

I will never find out.

rest in peace, nano..

The demise of Nano, a friend of Nani and the rest of his great chums.


Nano's little coffin


Nano's freshly dug grave (left) next to Nani's (right)

Obituary
Nano returned home to the Lord
on 12 August 2007,
leaving behind his loved ones, namely
Yvonne, Mork, N, Mindy, Nana, Dada, Didi, Kaka, Kiki
PLUS
two strangers, Light and Missa.
May you rest in peace in the kingdom of God.

Cause of sudden departure remains a mystery. His shell turned soft yesterday itself and lost his appetite. We will always remember you, Nano.

crystle..

It was by fate that we found her. Never would we expect to take her home as we were strolling at IKEA. See how skinny she is?


Crystle

She had been the company of an elderly lady. Then she was sent to the Dog Pound where she was supposedly be dead by now. The story that I heard from Shu Ying, the girl who saved her out of the horrible place, was full of cruelty. All those memories that she had must have been painful. No doubt, she endured her sufferings and she had no one to turn to. That shakes her personality a bit from being a bubbly, fun-loving dog, to a shy and more passive character.

The previous owner dumped her into the Dog Pound where she was starved before supposedly being put to sleep after seven days.

It is really sad to know there is such a place. Whoever works there must not be a dog lover. I have a mission to accomplish:

I AM GOING TO FEED HER TILL SHE GO FAT!!
