Confession Box of Sweet Nonsense

Pastry chef wannabe

2010-12-07T18:33:00.000+08:00

Looks like the holidays are giving me much more time to blog. I've alot of spare time doing nothing other than baking. I think i wont get sick of baking at all. It's something in me. It's something i was born to do.

Well let me recall back on how it all started. I think it was around 12 years back when i first saw a chocolate recipe in a newspaper. I read the recipe and thought that i could accomplish it without the help of my mom and with that accomplishment, i shall let my mom try my product.

I think it was chocolate ball cookies . I read the recipe, found the ingredients but some of the ingredients i could not find in the pantry hence i remember substituting milo for cocoa. Amazing brains i have ey? Why milo? because milo is made for half cocoa and lots of sugar and powdered milk. So yeah.

So i started baking that, and the end product was....like crap but i still made my mom eat them. To not bruise my ego, she tried and said not bad but later on threw the rest of my product. he he he.

Apart from that baking moments, i actually love acting as tho people is recording me. I remembered having mini pans and mini knives and everything. I used to take half of my grandma's vegetables and started chopping them, cooking them with water and forcing my granma to eat. HA HA HA. i was really evil back then, and now too. =D

So hence, i think the cooking thing is in me. Just that it took 4 years for my mom to realise that i actually am serious when i told her that i wanted to take up culinary back den in 2005. But i am not regretting my decision for having a business degree. It's actually an advantage. Apart from that, entering college in this era, it's a blessing because i managed to meet up with kids and friends that are now part of my life and will be part of my life . =DD

Playing Food guide in Melaka

2010-12-06T21:36:00.000+08:00

Well, now i know how people can just come down to melaka to eat all the day. I had my fair share of the eat-whole-day in melaka when i had to play (food) tourist guide to please the tourist i brought down during the weekend.

One of my classmates was here for the weekend. Let's call him pingu. The initial plan was to come down with another 2 of my classmates but the other two back out the very last minute. Well this melaka trip was practically a last minute plan thanks to urs truly. Anyhow, so pingu joined me.

We started our journey on friday thus we started eating non stop on friday. We had tandoori on friday and fried osyter for supper. On saturday, we had dimsum at 8.30 am and satay babi at 12 pm. Den we headed for japanese mille crepe and french fries at 1.30 pm before our " the social network" movie. At night, we had nyonya food courtesy of my mommy and her sisters. =)

For supper, we met in Elaine's house for more gossiping and catching up. We had chocolates, durian cream puffs and a cake for andy's birthday. * hello fatties*

On Sunday, We had chicken rice ball at 11am and wan tan mee at 12 pm. Yes i know, that's alot of food lor. For dinner, we had satay celup, fried carrot cake and a desser called mochi.

Now i actually feel tired typing what i ate for the weekend. I think i actually need 3 months to burn all the calories i took in just for the weekend. =((

The Godfather

2010-12-03T11:00:00.000+08:00

I've been mentioning alot of my godfather in my facebook lately. He's actually not a real god father but more of a person who actually guides, protects and cares for his students. I really really adore him and respect him for who he is.

Before my first semester started, alot of the chef students in my batch,lets call them Cula 1. We heard alot of rumours saying that The Godfather is a grumpy person. A person who is very hard to please. A person whom we dont wanna mess with. So here, we freshies enters his class, all scared and jittery.

But after a few classes, we noticed that he's so superly nice until we actually missed him when he left for summer vacation and couldnt wait for his return. Because, during his absence, a monster took over his class and scare the shit out of all of us chef students. It's tht bad. really. If u know gordon ramsey, this monster chef is some what like that. =(

Anyways, my godfather's name is Chef Albert Gerhard but all of us call him The G man or the Godfather. Because he's just so lovely. =D

The godfather

Oh and this picture, is my end product for my pastry exam. Nice ey? It's strawberry tartlet with diplomat cream inside. Sounds very glamourous but it's not la actually.

Hello People

2010-12-02T20:35:00.000+08:00

Omg, so sorry la. I neglected my blog again. =(

It's becoming a habit for me. I lost my blogging mojo. Sigh. Well now im back? I shouldnt say im so sure bout that . Anyways, updates for now.

My first semester in KDU just ended a few merry days ago. My whole month of november was filled with exams. First two weeks was practical exams. Pastry exam was the first one , and i nailed it. My favourite subject ma. Den the other practical exams i kinda flipped on it. I failed basic cooking ( culinary essential) but had a redo the week after the exam, and i passed. I failed coz my brown stock wasnt BROWN. the irony.

Next practical exam was garde manger. which is also known as the cold kitchen. My dish to prepare was pretty easy but i was nervous and i mess things up. I know the procedure but my end product came out not exactly like how they wanted it to be. So kinda got screwed by the chefs. Left. right. Up. Down. Sides. I came out from the kitchen having no face at all.

My theory papers were awesome. Pretty smooth because all of us got helped from the lecturer. So yeah. Hopefully i managed to ace it. Less words. more pics. =)

It's so true

2010-10-20T15:44:00.000+08:00

girls are like apples on trees.

the best ones are at the top of the tree.

the boys don\’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt

instead, they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren\’t as good, but easy

so the apples up top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they\’re AMAZING!!

they just have to wait for the right boy to come along.

the one that isn\’t afraid to climb all the way to the top

I personally think that is so true. =DD

Tongue-ed.

2010-10-15T21:56:00.000+08:00

Those of you who thinks chef students are having a great time, im here to tell u that we're not. Oh ,well sometimes we do because we get to eat alot ( hence the pants are getting tighter) but on other occasions, we are also forced to eat silly-gross-looking stuffs. Such as ox tongue!and ox liver and ox tribe ( stomach).

And the procedure of cooking it...........was so........gross too.

So yeah. urs truly got freaked out and the chef made me cut chicken livers. Im okay with that but not eating things that smells like...shit. Gross.

Below is the first produce of a decorated cake. My partner and i did that. We tried out best and..that is wat blackforest look like, to our interpretation at least. =D

tasted great too!

Cula 1 Class Party

2010-10-02T12:46:00.000+08:00

The class party was a success! It was awesome that everybody managed to put their hands together and cooperate to make the class party a success!

All of us agreed during the Academic Advisor meeting that we should have a combined birthday party/class party for our Cula 1. So, we decided to have a port luck party where everybody was supposed to bring HOME COOKED meal. As chef students, it was really shameful if we were to order pizzas or any fast food so yeah, we all decided to cook something and bring it on that day.

We had a lot of food. Mee hoon, fried rice, desserts, cupcakes, RENDANG, and etc. But i think to me, the food didnt really matter but the thing that mattered most was that everybody really came together to make the party a success. I really like my classmates. They're all so friendly and cooperative.

In university, classmates werent that cooperative because i think my classes back then was really big. 1 class consist of around 100 plus students, so yeah..lots of disagreements. Im flashing back to the I-BEE period. Lots of fights and disagreement. =( But then, i really miss my group in Uni.

Anyways, that's all for nowww!

Cheffies

2010-09-29T20:37:00.000+08:00

THe day that all Chef students have been waiting for - the chef uniform. I know it's nothing interesting but then, we were pretty much fed up wearing t-shirt and jeans. So, with chef uniform, we would look more sophisticated and more cheffy-like.

Apart from looking great in the uniform, the uniform is like hell hot. If we're wearing tshirt inside, we can easily sweat in 10 mints. THank goodness, all the rooms are equipt with air condition. Unlike MMU, the rooms that we study in, are very comfortable.

Class are as usual. Making food, decorating food and eating food. FOod is alway around hence there's no reason for the gym actually. Been skipping gym alot lately, and Sehrish ( my gooooooood girl friend) is complaining that im a bad gym buddy. I know i am. Coz im often lazy.

My group of kids are decreasing. We were from 8 but now getting lesser. But it's for a good cause.

Well that's it. =D

Assignments

2010-09-23T20:43:00.000+08:00

Sorry, would be going on a "holiday " for a few days. Assignments are pilling up and the due dates are almost around the corner. I've been lazy and have not been doing any assignments, so hence, im now rushing to finish all of them. Typical. I know.

I will never learn my lesson. And im 22. Shameful.

Will be back very soon. Probably on SUnday!..

Before that, enjoy the pics!

First Mini Cupcakes!

2010-09-18T23:24:00.000+08:00

So, the family is up here. Which means, im able to bake with no limits. HEeeeee heeee.

This week was cupcakes. I did mini cupcakes instead but ofcourse i did the normal size cupcakes. But looks like the mini cupcakes were more popular than the big ones. I think it's because it's just easy to pop the mini ones in the mouth.

I will be baking them again tmr for my sister to bring to office. She does marketing for me, so yeah, i've to provide samples for sales. =D.

Here's the recipe for the cupcake. I actually used normal cake recipe and just pour them into mini cupcake moulds.

Ingredients.

225g self raising flour
225g butter
225g sugar
4 eggs
3 tbs milk
1tbs vanilla

Cream butter and sugar till pale. Add egss and vanila. Fold in flour and add milk. Bake at 180 degrees celcius for around 10-15 mints or until brown. =DD

Random Ramblings

2010-09-15T17:33:00.000+08:00

I noticed that i've not updated anything on culinary course itself. I've only shown pictures of food and pretty plate presentions. Well, today im here to show a few pictures taken in the class or some, during classes. =D

The picture above was taken during fish-deboning class. Well it's called butchery class actually. We learnt how to debone and how to fillet a fish. On top of that, we learnt how to cut the fillets into different style. During that class, we learnt how to cut prawns, killed or "processed" lobsters, openend osyters, clams, mussels and other seafoods. We actually had a butchery class on chicken but i've forgotten to take pictures for that class.

This one the dude from Melaka. I think this picture was taken during class. I didnt know my phone can actually produce such fine pictures. =D

Another small kid who wanna be like usher. but....it's gonna take a long way for him to be so. HEHEHE!

Graduation 2010

2010-09-12T20:27:00.001+08:00

Oh i forgot to mention about my graduation day!

It was on August the 2nd. And I can say that, it was the best day of my life. One of my life chapters have ended, and now, im in another chapter of my life. Life is an ever learning journey. We're always learning new things until the day we die. So completing my Degree in Business Administration majoring in International Business was part of it.

Hello September

2010-09-12T20:19:00.000+08:00

Hellow my dear readers ( im now guessing most of my readers have run away?) .

I am truly very sorry for not updating my blog. See, I've been pretty busy lately (with sleeping and just facebooking). But now, i shall commit myself to this blog, the least once every 2 days. I've even change my blogskin! Well, that's a start =D.

Since i havent been updating my blog, i shall now let you guys know that...i...have....actualllyyyy....became a gym member! Hah! Not surprising i guess for those who really know me. But i think my parents, especially my mom will scream her head off. Then she'll be a headless human * gasps*

See, the gym membership is kinda expensive la i think. Per month i have to pay rm139. So yeah. It comes to 1k plus for 12 months. However, the advantages are : i can use the gym's facilities, the classes and etc for that kinda payment. They have body combat, yoga, aerobics, spinning and dance classes. So i think it's kinda worthit lo.

Other than that , i have nothing else to update. My aunty and sister have been complaining that i bake too much (bake also wrong, never bake also wrong). I actually just want to practise for my practical exam, which will be in October/November. That's like 2 more months. =(

That's about it. Enjoy the delicious pictures below!

More glorious food!

2010-07-28T17:15:00.000+08:00

Hello readers, if there's any, Im so sorry for the lack of commitment I've been showing lately. I am not busy doing anything, but just plain lazy. Well, lazy updating my blog that it. My mundane activities are such a bore to me, which i am expecting it will be a bore to my dear readers if they had to read the same thing everyday.

Classes are going fine as usual. Pretty interesting knowledge to absorb. Very unlike those classes i attended during my university days. I am not complaining that i have to wake up at 6 am every day because I actually look forward to going for classes. I really enjoy them because i'm surrounded by super crazy maniac kids and also the lecturers are very friendly and personal. Apart from that, obviously there are some eye candies to look at. But nonetheless, they're just eye candies. To look at but not to touch. =D

Below are the food or dishes that i've learnt so far. Pretty interesting dishes.....and they taste....just like heaven.

First week in Kitchen

2010-07-18T09:58:00.000+08:00

It was only the first week of classes but I already fell in love with the course. I know i think it is too soon to say this but eventhough I've to wake up at 6 everyday in the morning to get ready for class which starts at 8 everyday in the morning but then, i feel excited every morning.

In my first day of Garde Manger class, we made salad dressing. Mayonaise and vinaigrette. Garde Manger classes are classes where we make finger foods. Like appetizers, salads, soups and etc. Well appetizers, salads and soups are not finger foods la but then i duno how to explain it in layman's term. Maybe i should say light food then.

Last time i have no knowledge whatsoever about mayonaise. But now i know. The amount of oil used to make the mayonaise...is like oh. my . gosh. Luckily i do not like mayonaise. =D

Below's the result of the first garde manger class. My chef made them!

Weekend UPdates

2010-07-13T17:43:00.000+08:00

Hello!!

I am so very sorry for not updating. Life's been pretty pretty tiring so far.

During the weekend, Saturday, KDU Culinary Arts and Hospitality Students had a field trip to Prince Hotel. It's situated right in the middle of the citty, surrounded by lots of tall buildings and also other posh 5 star hotels.

The field trip was definitely fun and also very eye opening. We were introduced and briefed regarding the working hours and the lifestyles of hotelier and those working under the hotel line. I can say, it is not easy and...it does not suit family oriented people.

The tour around the hotel kitchen was a must for all Culinary students because there is where we will be in the future. We met with most of the chefs. Asked lots of question and....there was this dim sum master chef whom earns 18k a month. believe it?????? Muhahahaha. Thus, do not look down on CHEFS!

Lunch was served in the hotel itself. We had buffet lunch. Most of it was finger foods but the dessert was delicious. Being a dessert person, i took the dessert first before my main meal. But sad to say, the hotel outsource their pastry section as they do not have any kitchen that is specifically for pastry.

Well that's all for the weekend!

Orientation Day 1 and II

2010-07-06T22:17:00.000+08:00

Day Uno

I hate orientations. Even back in Uni, i really hate them . I hate ice breaking where they put you into small groups and later ask you to come up with a group name and a group cheer. Well back then when i was 17, it was pretty okay . But now, I had to go through the same disaster!which was having to think of a group name and come up with a creative cheer. The worst part is having to communicate with new people to produce ideas for the cheer. Everybody seems so shy , quiet and reserved. Im one of them too.

Well nevermind with that, I managed to make friends. Yeay. Most of them are pretty friendly. Which is good for me. And most of them speak english. Excellent for me too. Atleast they do not speak " ching chong ching chong" like most of them in MMU.

Well, the very vast difference that I observed in comparison with KDU and MMU is that KDU, they really treat you like an adult. Expect you to find your way and ask when you're lost. KDU puts you out there in the jungle. Unlike MMU, which actually spoon feed their students. MMU assist their students from kepala to kaki jari. Everything is provided for in MMU. Lunch break pun MMU provide. But KDU, lunch break, is on your own. Everything is basically done on your own but with facilitators guiding you.

Day Dos

2nd day went pretty fine because we've all warmed up with our group members. We were divided into different groups based on our course and i can say that my course, there are only 14 girls and the rest..are guys! But rest assured, the guys are....average la. Average looking i mean. Apart from that, my academic advisor is a Chef. And he is nice and very funny.

Today was pretty long. Tomorrow wil be longer and so will the rest of the week. My plans to head back to Melaka this Saturday had to be postponed because we, freshies have to attend a stupid field trip. FML. Sigh.

Goodbye Uni, Hello College!

2010-07-04T20:52:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow will be my first orientation in KDU. I hope it goes fine!! Just received my orientation schedule. It is damn pack lo.

Previously, i planned to head down to Melaka this weekend but then, looks like my plan have to change because on Saturday i will be having a field trip. To, i have no idea where. Sigh. Hopefully it is somewhere nice.

Anyhow, will keep on posting more stuff when life's settled.

Faking A Smile

2010-07-02T21:13:00.001+08:00

Sometimes when Im down, i fake a smile.

Sometimes when Im disappointed , I fake a smile to get by.

Even when Im angry, i try to laugh to ease the situation.

Most of the faking is done to show people that Im tough but actually Im just a normal human being. I get disappointed. I get hurt . And i too feel angry, even when i tell you Im not.

However, I've been pretending that I do not care, which is really working. Because, when i keep pretending and faking, it grows in me until it becomes a subconscious thing. It then becomes pretty normal.

So the next time when I smile or laugh, look into my eyes, maybe u'll see my soul crying inside.

Packed, Boxed and Lined

2010-07-02T01:03:00.000+08:00

My trolley bag is packed with clothes, one of the boxes is filled with some essentials : facial foams, cereal, pads, files, etc. Another box is filled with, clothes and towels.

I know, I can get them up in KL or i can just come back over the weekend to bring up more stuffs. But, seriously, i think im bringing up really minimal stuff. Because my cupboard is still filled with clothes.

I feel, neither excited or sad. But this is the first time leaving home to go stay in somewhere else. I know i know, it's not overseas but it feels like it for me. Ha ha. Can't wait when the time comes when i really stay somewhere other than Msia. On my own. Independent. Standing on my two size 6 feet. =)

Cheers, people. Will update more when i start my orientation on MONDAY!

The farewells

2010-06-28T00:25:00.000+08:00

Good bye June, HELLLLOOOO JULY. However, the ending of june oversees a few farewell. Between family and friends.

There are four days for me to fill up with gathering and meetings with friends before i embark in my new chapter in my life. I know, I wont be going any where far but to have yam cha and movie session and gathering is quite hard since most of us will be very busy after this.

I have monday planned till the night, tuesday night is going to be filled to i think. So if anybody wants to hang out, pls do tell me in advance so that i can slot you in. =)

Not forgetting that i have to spend time with my family. Coz i know they will miss me tremendously.

By the way, grandpa had a cake.

Berry Me.

2010-06-25T14:50:00.000+08:00

Oh my so boring day is passing ever so SELOWLY. Sigh. There's nothing much to do. I have not packed yet because I do not know what to pack. If i were to pack my clothes, then i might not have clothes to wear before heading of to KL. Ofcourse i dont plan to bring up my whole cupboard.

Since i was so bored, guess what i did? Trashed the kitchen of course. The only place where i can really relax apart from the toilet. I find toilets a very relaxing place too. But, it only appeals to toilets that are nice and clean.

I made blueberry cheesecake today. Day before i made walnut bread. Tomorrow i will be baking marble cake for grandpa's birthday. Was supposed to made it today, but plans changed. Looks like i will be baking so much before heading for culinary school. Woopeee.

Empty box

2010-06-23T12:45:00.001+08:00

I shall be pursuing my passion in a week's time. I should be feeling excited and happy, but i feel otherwise. I am worried, scared, anxious and I am also doubting myself whether or not, should i go with it.

Reasons for having such feelings are because:

I will be out of my comfort zone. Uni life was all about memorizing and exam but college is 75% practical.
I will have to adapt to KLians lunatic driving and impatience.
I will have to make new friends. * im very shy*
I will have to spend more money. KL lifestyle is.......way beyond my budget.
Probably, culinary arts is not my thing? Maybe i cant do it?

There's an empty box in my room, for me to start packing. But i actually do not know where to begin. In the box, there's a couple packets of Kotex and one bottle of conditioner. That's it. I do not know what to pack. Clothes? Shoes? Bags? Toiletries? I will be staying with my aunt, so most of the things are provided.

Then again, i still am thinking whether to bring up my baking utensil. Sigh~

How? What? Where? do i start packing?

Moments

2010-06-19T22:11:00.000+08:00

It's has been pretty boring after graduating from University. My days are filled with onlining, reading books and going out for movies. Sometimes, i bake when i feel like it, and actually baking keeps me occupied because i can be baking from morning till the evening.

There are a few more days left in dear old Melaka for me. I think it is less than 2 weeks. Im not heading anywhere far, just merely 2 hours drive up to KL but, for me, it's really a different thing because i've been in melaka for the past 21 years. So yes, im feeling abit melancholy. Pardon my feelings, but this is how i feel.

I hope i can really spend alot of time with my friends. Because, after this, we will be heading our separate ways. Especially my best friends. There will not be any more sudden yam cha. There will not be any more packed coconut shake and enjoy it in somebody's house. We do that quite often. They'll just tapau coconut shake or something and drop over my place or elaine's. There will not be any more lunch time and nap time at bestie's house.

Furthermore, there will be lack of moments where people will come and pick me up to head to somewhere. Shopping, movies, yam cha and the rest. Sighh...

I'm already missing those moments.

Broken Promises

2010-06-17T10:11:00.000+08:00

A couple days ago, I was in a pretty bad mode. My mode was swinging to moody and being angry. It's like somehow, I started hating the world. The feeling was so intense until i was just lashing at just about anybody. I was responding to my family members with my very stony, hard voice. Obviously, i acted all jovial around my friends but then again, thank goodness, I wasnt out with any of them.

I was angry because of a few mix situation. Firstly the snatch thief and next the death. After that, I was bombarded with unfulfilled promises. These promises are related to time. People just do not respect the time.

I've been put to situation where i really had to wait. Wait for no apparent reason. Wait because it was their fault for not arranging their time properly. Wait because they did not have any respect for time and for people. And then again, i've to waste my entire day waiting for people.

Additional to that, i really think boys should have better time management. They're always not punctual! OK maybe some boys.

It's a blow

2010-06-13T17:14:00.001+08:00

Damnit. I was writing halfway and somehow the post crashed and now i have to write all over again. There goes my mood. Ughh.

Anyway, i was writing bout how my moods have changed from the last 24 hours. I've been receiving pretty bad news lately and it kinda made me think of how life is. Sometimes, we're really so ignorant with our live. We only tell people we love them, when we hear of somebody dying. Our saying of "love" is not spontaneous enough. We do not tell people that we care for them dearly, until the very last moment. I think, it boils down to how we were raised. We had, or rather I had the traditional Chinese upbringing where proclamation of love, is something so bizarre. It's more like a taboo to say I LOVE YOU.

The bad news started coming yesterday. While i was having my pot luck dinner, my brother had a call from home from my mother. My mother told him that my aunt was a victim of snatch thief. The story was like this. My aunt was bringing my grandmother for a walk, from her house to my house. We only live 5 doors away from each other. Just imagine, my very own taman. The taman that i go for my evening jog.

While walking back from my house, my aunt noticed this motor cycle. So she didn't feel anything. She just thought that it was one of the neighbours. Unbeknown to her, the motorcyclist stopped and tried to grab her chain. So she was struggling with the thief and thank goodness, the thief didn't manage to grab her chain, because one of my aunt heard the shouting and chase the thief away.While struggling, my grandmother fell onto the tar road and she suffered few bruises on her legs. It's such a pity . My grandmother is old and frail.

The second bad news, came this morning. My mother got the news that one of my cousins has just passed away in the morning. Reason : heart attacked. He was 47 years old and his youngest kid is only 6 years old. Even though he is not close to my family, but his family is. I just saw his mom yesterday. She was in my house delivering bak chang and was chit chatting to us. It's a tragedy to all of us. It was a solemn day. We had our father's day lunch in a sad mood too. Sigh~

After lunch, my family headed to his place for the service. And they were asking whether had he written up any will. The family said they did not know bout it. Hence, it got me thinking that i should draw up my own will or rather advice my family members to do so. Even though we might think that there's nothing wrong with us, but nature or God thinks other wise.

Mix and Confuse

2010-06-13T10:40:00.000+08:00

There was this time, when i know what i was doing, or when i know that my feelings are clear. But now, I'm totally confused or rather have no clue as of what I'm doing.

See, this feeling is killing me. Sometimes i feel that i do not care but other times i care so much. Well most of the time i care too much when i know im just wasting my time.

Confuse of what im talking bout? Haha. Yes, this blog is to make you confuse. But if u read between the lines, u will actually know what im talking about.

Im so confuse until i just wanna fade away and hide until im clear of this feeling. And perhaps, i would also like to see the reaction to my disappearance. Would anybody notice? Will anybody care? Perhaps not.

Sigh~

2010-06-07T12:31:00.000+08:00

Haarrrro Everybody (if there's anybody at all),

Sorry for the very postponed entry. I was dead sick, am still sick tho. Im recuperating at home, alone. Yes, ALONE. My parents went down to JB , was supposed to follow but ended up staying at home because im sick.

You see, i was sick before i went to phuket, well i was sick on the day ifself when i was supposed to leave for phuket and now im sick again, after coming back from phuket.

All is well now i hope. Sigh. But there like another 14 more pills to eat. Which i hate

So till then for my phuket post.

Carrot Muffins

2010-05-26T16:21:00.000+08:00

Time to update my sleeping blog.

All I can say is that i have nothing much to update, since im practically doing nothing at home. Well, apart from always being online in cyberspace.

The only thing that is keeping me occupied during the afternoons are my frequent baking session. I've been baking quite alot actually . It's to the point where my family is quite disgusted when i say " im going to bake tmr!". The look on their faces- it's pretty priceless. =D

It's not that im offended or anything, it's pretty funny to see them shriek the moment i say im going to bake.

Quoting from mom , " aiyo, stop baking la. U want us to grow fat is it? See my belly? it's getting bigger!!".

Last week, I made cream pufff. Yes, i made them from scratch. Including the egg custard filling.

Today, I made carrot muffins.

And the saddest thing is , i actually had to find people to take away those muffins . Since my family doesnt want to eat any more of my bakings. =(

Culinary Arts

2010-05-22T02:09:00.000+08:00

Yes, im going to college to pursue my life long dream- Culinary Arts!

Well, alot of people asked me why i didnt pursue this dream right after High School. Ofcouse, I would if i could, but at 17, I was pretty naive and was still confused of what i would like to be.

Apart from that, my mom thinks that I could do better than a diploma. She wanted me to have a degree then after that i could pursue whatever i want. As long as i have something else to fall back on if my dream does not work out for me.

So, after waiting for 4 years, and growing wiser and more matured, im embarking on my dream. Hehehe!

Just pls, do not ask me to cook for you when i meet u. It wont happen. =D

Part, we never will.

2010-05-18T19:44:00.001+08:00

" But when we leave this year, we wont be coming back,

no more hanging out coz we're on a different track,

And if you got something that you need to say,

you better say it right now coz you dont have another day."

The reality of graduation has finally set in. As we part our ways to endure the real life out there, we will definitely know that nothing beats going to campus, skipping classes, eating with friends from different ethic background and enduring long hours of class. And oh, not forgetting the sauna-like exam venues.

All the complications in uni life made our 4 years together more happening than not. So much for having weirdos sitting with us, or connering us or even making us food. Nonetheless, we've sticked with each other through thick and thin. Always together for assignments and sitting together in the front row of lecture halls.

Moments like these brings back so much memory. We've always been together since our Alpha year, which totally means we've been friends for 4 years. But that 4 years, seems like yesterday. It will be so nostalgic to think all these later.

Will we still be friends? Will we still laugh at the same joke? Will we still eye at the same awkward person? Will we still bitch bout the annoying person? We have to see that in the next 5 years? Or is that too long the wait? =D

To all my mmu-ian friends, all the best in ur undertaking. I know you guys will definitely change the world.

The Road Not Taken

2010-05-15T01:48:00.000+08:00

I've always been fascinated by poems and literature. Back in secondary school, I've always enjoyed literature time. Literature time was where we were allowed to be creative and used our imaginations to decipher codes and underline meaning for each lines and paragraph. However, there were and still are people who thinks that literature is such a bore, but i think otherwise.

Today, marks the end of one of the chapters in my life- University life. After secondary school, i went straight to university for pre -U for a year and then continued my degree in business for 3 years. Today was the last day. The ironic thing was, when i came back from campus, i received an acceptance letter for college! Obviously i was beaming from ear to ear when i received that letter. And i was just thinking, " i've just completed one chapter in life, now im embarking on another on the same day. Nice".

Hence, it got me thinking of the most famous poem back in high school, called " the road not taken " by Robert Frost.

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

and i,

took the one less travelled by,

and that has made all the difference."

I'm hoping that, my choice will be a wise choice.

10 things bout me

2010-05-11T22:42:00.001+08:00

I suddenly found the inspiration to list a few things that I think people do not know bout me. Well, see im a very secretive person and i do not really share lots of things with friends. Eventhough they're very close to me. LOL. So here are my top 10 things that I think people do not know bout me. And it is in random order k.

I was bulimic when i was 6. Yes i was.
I have green finger-I used to do gardening
I do not eat things that are in shells. Eg: clamps, mussles, kerang, and those in that family.
I have fear of dirty toilet. Trust me.
I was very egoistic last time. Eg: i do not cry infront of anybody.
I love vegetables but hate salds. Because they're uncook.
My love affairs with nuts. I just love them.
My love affairs with fruits. Any type of them.
I had an cyber-boyfriend when i was 14. It lasted for a day.
My sister and I did not get along until i reached the ripe age of 18. =)

There you go, my most random lists!!

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-08T21:47:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow is mother's day. So, happy mother's day to all mothers' out there. However, i think mothers' should be appreciated everyday. Their sacrifices made for all us has no comparison. Same goes for our fathers. Fathers' and mothers' do not get paid for taking care of us. The only thing they have for us are their unconditional love and the only thing that they want from us is to see that we have a bright future ahead.

I shall not paint or write any long stories for mom, as she does not read my blog or goes online. It'd be better if i just tell her personally right? LOL.

It has been a long journey for me and my mom actually. We used to fight all the time before this. But now, i think we've grew to understand each other. She understands me more now as im now a woman. Capable of making my own decision but also she knows that i sometimes need her very humble advice regarding life.

We actually celebrated MOther's day Last weekend with my other family members. Today, we also celebrated mother's day but in a very humble environment. The menu for dinner was grilled chicken wings n thighs, fish and chips, pasta arriabiata and white chocolate brownie . And now, im bloated! kakaka...

HAPPY MAMA'S DAY MOMMIES!!

College

2010-05-03T15:28:00.000+08:00

I dont know why i always have the urge to bake whenever it is exam period. I cant help myself for surfing online baking sites for recipes. It's like heaven for me.

Anyway, for your information or not, i might be entering college to study culinary arts. I know it is alil late but when it comes to education, there is no age limit. My application will be handed in this saturday so please wish me luck. Please let them accept me. heheheh. If everything goes well, I'd be entering KDU for a diploma in culinary arts. It takes 2 years to complete the course and after that, I'd be working as a chef. My long time dream will finally be fulfilled. YEAY!

But now, i really have to concentrate on my finals. I do not want to fail any papers and let my dreams fly away. So i'd better go back to studying. Will update more on my application. Yeay yeay!

Btw, somebody try this!

Peanut Blossom Cookies

P.R.O.M II

2010-04-28T12:51:00.000+08:00

Well, i guess now's the time to review what happened during prom night. Lets see, well, first of all, it was filled with cyberians whom we dont even know apart from our alpha mates. So, we Malaccan had to stand at one corner shying away from the crowds.

Next, the entertainment kinda sucked. The emcee was so self-indulgent with his over the top American slang. Aiyo aneh, already malaysian, use la malaysian slang! It was such a turn off . Apart from the emcee, one of the college band was as equally annoying. Another self-indulging singer. He tried to immitate Adam Lambert but hey, adam lambert is sooo original and rare, how can one immitate him and succeed? Sigh.

Not only he tried to immitate Adam Lambert, he tried to perform rock songs and.......i shall darely say that half of the people in the ball room went out to the lobby for a breather. It was really bad, screechy and out of tune and BAD.

The only positive thing bout prom is the amount of pictures taken with friends and the gathering of alpha mates. And also the company whom i went with. Who says one needs date for prom? I went with 4 other single girl friends and we did fine ourselves. Oh, i forgot about 3 of our unofficial dates. They were cool too!

Unite Prom 2010

2010-04-25T02:08:00.001+08:00

Prom night was.....OK. Filled with ear-damaging music from some wannabe bands. Food was....all in a mini version but i have to say, the crowd and friends meant everything to us. Below are pictures taken during prom night. EnjoY, my dear readers!

P.R.O.M

2010-04-22T11:54:00.000+08:00

Well, definitely will update more with pictures later.

And no, i do not have a date. Boohoo.

And no, i am not going to find a date.

Will update more!

2010-04-17T14:42:00.001+08:00

Sorry for this super late post. It was long over due. I know. So, my 22nd birthday was celebrated pretty casual and close-knit, as i like it. Just dinner with my close friends in a seafood parlour. LOL! Below shown are the pictures taken, OF THE FOOD, not the birthday girl, but im alright with it. Was pretty shy that night. Enjoy

Dessert was homemade apple pie. It taste....i have no idea. coz i didnt try it. LOL. Pictures are taken from Elaine, thanks for being the camera woman on that day. And thanks to those who made it for the dinner =)

Gratitude

2010-04-10T22:21:00.001+08:00

First and foremost, Im very sorry for not updating my blog. Been very busy completing my Final Year Project, which now, i can happily declare that I've finished it.

Next, i would like to thank everybody for their birthday wishes, sms, calls and gifts. Thank You soo much . I really appreciate it.

For those who made it for dinner today, thanks for completing my day. Was totally filled with sea food. Yum Yum. But have to go back to dieting tmr, for prom. =)

Lastly, IM NOW 22 YEARS OLD. but i dont feel old. =)

Updates

2010-03-31T11:36:00.000+08:00

Blogging seems to not be in my top list right now. Been kinda neglecting my blog ever since school starts. Life's pretty much the same. Mundane and very routine, hence there's nothing else to blog.

Last weekend, i was up in Penang with my family for cheng beng. It was an awesome trip. Filled with eating most of the time. Managed to drive around Penang and not getting lost. Thanks to the awesome gadget called GPS. =)

This week is kinda crazy. All assignments are due this week or next week. So, i've to burn the midnight oil. Been doing that for three days in a row already just to finish up my FYP. When FYP is finished, everything seems pretty easy. Life's so much brighter after FYP.

Will be turning 22 very soon. Time passes so quickly. My 21st is still so fresh in my mind. It feels like it was yesterday. Anyway, hopefully, i'd be more mature and wiser while i age gracefully. *grins*

Gramma is getting better i think. So much better compared to last week, just that she has less energy and has no interest in eating. On the brighter side, she still remembers who am i. HEHEHE!

Pearl of the Orient

2010-03-26T22:56:00.000+08:00

The name pearl of the orient really lives up well to its name. Penang, as known by all, are famous for its peranakan culture, expensive but nice(some) food and their notorious motorcyclist. Seriously, the number of years in my life has shorten due to the weird driving system in Penang. People just drive macam bapak dia mia jalan, just keluar masuk sesuka hati dan potong potong sesuka hati. In another words, they have no road manners. Sorry, penangnite, but it's true. Too damn true.

Anyway, my whole family is up in Penang for Cheng Beng. This is the first time out of 5 years i think, that my family is complete. Normally, my bro and sis coulndt make it due to their work schedule or they just cant take leave. So it will always be me, dad and mom or sometimes me and dad. I skipped school on thursday and friday to part take in this trip.

This trip is filled with eating. We've been eating non stop. Famous cendol, char kuey teow, asam laksa, dimsum, fried osyter ( not sedap langsung), satay, popiah ( pun tak sedap), chicken rice, ikan bakar and so many more. We actually binged on food for 2 days. Sigh. But nonetheless, apart from the food-eating trip, we definitely manage to catch up with our cousins, aunts , uncles and ofcourse the prayers.

Im sure that my ancestors are pleased to see all of us. We complete everything. HAHAH!

Will be leaving tmr morning after dim sum. Oh sumbody help me!!

p/s: gym partner anybody?

Sick

2010-03-23T11:16:00.000+08:00

She's sick.

Has been lying from yesterday till today.

What am I or are we to do?

Sigh~

Reminiscing Back

2010-03-16T01:00:00.000+08:00

This is a true story, it's not a love story neither a fairy tale. It's a sad story, waiting to be unfold. It has to be told. And today is the day.

2 years ago, I was in a state of paranoia because I felt the guy I had a massive, huge crush on liked one of my uni friends. Things became weird between me and my friend. I began avoiding him to ease the hurt that i was feeling. Relationship between the guy and i , became estranged. We were still friends but not like before.

After awhile, i decided to move on. It was a very slow movement as i was still friends with the guy and we always chilled out together. On the road of recovery, something happened.

Some one else came in to ease the pain and to shift my moving-on gear. The guy made me focus on my life and of course, focus on him. Things began to change. I was going out more, not even thinking of the before-guy, just hanging out with this new guy made me real happy. I was happy I was moving on. My friends were happy too. They could see the change in me. Unfortunately, things didnt work out between the new guy and me. So, with that, i had to move on with the past, and the current guy. And now, at this current year, i figured, the new guy was the rebound guy.

While moving on with both failed attempt friend-relationship, another guy came in. He was a friend. He was there to listen. As usual, we contacted, hang out, talked and etc. In the process, i was getting over 2 guys and also gaining another good friend. We did a lot of things together but we drifted apart when we started new semester in the university. Now, thinking back, i totally missed the hints he dropped. At that time, i was just living in the present and taking one day at a time. Never thinking of getting into a relationship. But now, as i replay those moments, the hints he dropped, was as obvious as the bomb dropped in Nagasaki.

2008 was filled with good memories. 2009 was nothing like 2008. Now, I'm hoping, 2010 will be filled with surprises.

500 days of Summer

2010-03-14T23:10:00.001+08:00

500 days of Summer was really a love story. A real love story that we all could relate to. It's beautiful, moving and inspiring but I just do not understand the part where Summer gets married after she told Tom that she didnt want to be in a relationship. Maybe because she found the one? I really do not get it at that part.

The ending was a lil bit cliche. " Hi, im Tom." " Oh hi, my name is Autumn". What a coincidence? Cliche! *smacks*. Nice movie anyway. A movie that has to be analyzed and paid attention to. Not a movie for people who do not believe in casual relationships. =)

H.O.L.I.D.A.Y

2010-03-05T23:12:00.002+08:00

Yeah, midterm break is here! Woohoo, 1 week break for CNY and now, we have another week of holiday . Let's PARTYyyyyyyyyy!!!

Im Chinese

2010-03-01T23:32:00.001+08:00

I'm a Chinese, but I cannot speak Chinese. Yes, it's a disgrace to my own community. And yes, I know that I should learn how to speak chinese. I will, one day.

It's always funny to see people's expression when i do not reply them when they ask me something in chinese. Or rather, it's funny to see their face crunch when i reply them that i cannot understand/speak chinese, in Mandarin. Yes, i can say the phrase " i cannot speak chinese" in mandarin. I am proud of that though.

After using that phrase on practically, lots of chinese people, i think, most of them think I'm pulling their legs. However, i can understand a lil bit of chinese but not so much.But when people start asking me questions/words in chinese that im unfamiliar with, i will just smile at them n nod my head. It is a sign of respect otherwise i might seem rude.

So today, in the gym, there was this aunty who was speaking to me in chinese. I can understand most the chinese words she was using until it came to one part. I actually wasn't sure what she was saying tho, so i looked at her, smiled and used my favourite phrase in chinese " Aunty, wo bu hui jiang hua yi".( Aunty, i cannot speak chinese) Then she look at me, curiously and said " ni shi se me ren"( what type of person are you). Then, i was actually laughing when i was about to answer that question. Obviously im a chinese, whom cannot speak chinese. If i was really really mischievous, I would reply the aunty saying that im a very fair malay or an angmoh. HA HA HA!

Mischievous aside, i just said " im a nyonya". Then she looked at me and said " you better learn chinese de, china now growing u know and many people in the world speak CHINESE and english. U chinese cannot speak chinese, shame shame. ". Like i didnt know that~ Sigh~

Chap Goh Mei

2010-02-27T19:51:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow will be the 15th day of Chinese New Year where by, it is the end of the CNY celebration. Im sad, im sure others are sad too. Sad because, there wont be a solid good reason to gamble and the CNY mood is over. We will have to wait for another 12 months to feel the CNY and gambling mood.

To us, gambling is only done during CNY where we will visit friends and gamble in their house. Well except for mine, my house is like a holy shrine. LOL. My mom dont let la.

Tomorrow will also be the day were single ladies will head down to the river to throw oranges. The lagend behind that is they'll find a handsome young man in the future. I do not know how true is that, but i aint trying either. Elaine has this spirit of wanting to throw pamelo fruit tomorrow in the river. So if any of you who is interested in elaine, please dutifully go to the river and catch her pamelo. If any one who is interested in me, just tell me, then i shall throw a big pamelo to you. We dont have to go down the muddy river and you catching the dirty pamelo. We're civilized people.We dont polute the environment. LOL.

Anyway, today's the eve of chap goh mei, so i wish everyone, a happy LAST gambling session.

Heaven or Chocolate-Haven?

2010-02-24T12:16:00.001+08:00

Heaven? Chocolate-haven? Heaven? Chocolate-haven? It is like chanting, " he loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not". Oh this certainly has nothing to do with 2 guys liking me or even a guy liking me. I wouldnt be undecided or confused for that matter.

Anyway, im confused and undecided about having to choose 2 good things which will affect my future. They are to study or to work. Well, ofcourse i want to continue studying something which i put on hold for 4 years and i would really want to achieve that dream. However, i too want to work because, by working, i can gain experience, bring home some money to my parents and ofcourse support myself for my future holiday plans.

Well, i've 3 months more to figure this out. THankfully, i've my bro to talk to. He's been helping out alot.

Now i should stress out with my one and only, yes my one and only midterm which is next week. WHoooo..hooo. 1 midterm for final year student, but 6 assignments . Pengsan.

A lil Sneak Peek during my CNY

CNY/Valentine's 2010

Chinese New Year

2010-02-21T00:11:00.001+08:00

Sorry for not updating my blog. Was quite busy with the CNY celebration. Too many relatives to attend to and also was helping my mom out with some cooking. Yeay, i can proudly say that I've mastered the art of making roti jala. My "jala" pattern was as good as my aunt's. Hehe.

Anyway, back to the celebration. Every year, all of us will get older and when we get older, we will ofcourse or in another words, forced to answer a few "questions" from our relatives. There were time when i snickered and laughed at my sister and brother when these "questions" were thrown to them, however, this year, it backfired.

All i can say was, I too had to go through some interviews thrown to me by my relatives. Some i cant even answer. I thought I escaped the first day but no, it lasted tru the 7th day, which is today. To add to that, im not even old! sigh~

The questions asked was :

So how old are u? Still studying?
Eh got boyfriend d?
When getting married ah?
Got any special guy in ur life? or u have too many to choose from? non special?
Eh faster get married la, if u wanna get married need to book us first know
Dont wait too long to get married, later old d nobody wants. Now is the ripe age.

Sigh, how am i to answer all the above when i dont even have the special someone??????? I think next year, the questions will be even tougher.

2010-02-13T18:34:00.000+08:00

To those who are in a relationship, happy valentine's day to you and like said, 14th of february is NOT the ONLY day for you to show your love. There are 365 days in a year and why not show ur love in those 364 other days? LOL

To those are are still single, well all i can say is mingle more and probably you'll find a partner. Maybe a resolution this year ( like me) to find a bf by the end of the year? FYI im not desperate, it's just a challenge.

Happy Valentine's day to all, and lots of love from me.

Shopping Complete

2010-02-11T21:56:00.000+08:00

My Chinese New Year shopping is complete. Period. No more shopping until, April. I shall challenge myself to that . Shop less=save more ( more money for more holidays).

Aimed destination this year, Hong Kong.

Abandoned Destination for this year, Melbourne. ( Sorry la, cannot find resources to fund my 4k-2weeks-vacation. Next year maybe can)

So, till then!

Spring Festival

2010-02-09T22:29:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is roughly in 5 days time and yesterday I just found out that I do not have enough new year clothes. I know some of you might be thinking that I do not need 15 pairs of new clothes for CNY but, I think that I only have one or two dresses. Normally, by this time, I would have finished with my shopping, stacked up my new clothes and planned which clothes/dress to where for which house visitng.

But this year, it's totally so different. I was totally preoccupied with baking cookies and cakes until I've forgotten how many clothes i have. Initially, I didnt want to purchase any dresses cause I thought I had enough. But how wrong i was!

And, my shopping will begin tmr. Hopefully, I'll find a dress/top. That'll be totally enough. Atleast i have 3 instead of 2. I know of people who have more than 5 pairs of clothes for CNY itself.

Anyhow, I so totally lied when I said I was putting away my baking tools.I dug them out again yesterday to bake mocha and blueberries-walnut short bread.

Right after my session in the gym, i came home, got the ingredients ready and started baking. HEhehe. And I will be baking chinese sausage roll on Thursday(my grandpa requested coz he wanna pray this delicacy to my moyang), mini cheesecake and marble cakes on Friday. Oh how i love this season....Atleast I am allowed to bake for no reason at all . =) And I shall feed my brothers (inclusive of bro in law) with all the food.

On a different note, i think i need to get a new phone. The button totally cannot tekan. Sigh~

Closed

2010-02-07T14:25:00.000+08:00

I have officially put away my baking utensils for this week. There will be no more cookie orders. I will not take any. 4 weekends of baking cookies was enough. But, the smell of the aromatic cookies baking in the oven was totally therapeutic and the mixing of cookie dough was...ahh just....nice. I totally think i took up the wrong course. I shall go brain wash my parents . Maybe after this, i shall get a diploma in culinary arts. *grins*

Cookies aside, i will venture into baking mini cheesecakes for my family. It's the only time of the year where i will have enough people to try out my new recipes. My dear hamsters will be back to try out my recipes. My hamsters are my bro n my bro-in-law. Time to fatten everybody up. =)

Melekit

2010-02-05T00:35:00.000+08:00

Have you felt that somebody is sticking on/to you? Physically or mentally or both? Well, I was there. And i totally hate it. I hate leeching on people and i hate people leeching on me. Especially when im all tired and sleepy and grumpy. When im not in those mode, i too do not like people to stick on me. As melekit i mean, like, sit closely to me ( it is okay if you're my boyfriend but not ok if u're just a friend. GUY OR GIRL), suddenly lean on me, suddenly "put ur head on my shoulder" and being all kepo bout the conversation we're talking bout.

I feel so suffocated with all those actions mentioned above. It is like im unable to move. Whenever i movee, there's the leech. And i feel so uncomfortable when people stick on me. I just dont like it and i have no reason for it. It is like them breathing directly behind my neck. Eui~~....They're just stepping into my personal zone.

Futhermore, i was soo tired yesterday since my class was from afternoon till 11pm at night. Just imagine i have to endure 3 hours of class and when i finally reached home, i was so drained, out of energy till i slept 30 mints after i reached home.

Well, this goes to my future boyfriend too. He must not leech on me, must have his own friends, must have his own guy-time, and must not , i repeat must not be so sticky la. I need space, he needs space and all we need is each other's love. We do not need to stick to each other like we're twins. However, conditions differ if we're doing LDR and if he comes to malaysia once in a red moon or if i go over once in a blue moon. But still, no leeching. =) Oh this applies ONLY if my future bf is overseas la ok. If domestic boyfriend den..aiyo seriously no leeching pls. I tak boleh tahan people stick on me and 24/7 is beside me. =.="

I know people will say things will change when i have a real boyfriend because im stating this when im single but still NO LEECHING.

P/s: the person who leeched on me was a girl. Yeah , tell me about it. ~

Busy Bee

2010-01-30T22:51:00.008+08:00

2nd week of the new sem was kinda hectic. Out of 5 subjects I'm taking, all of the subjects have assignments. With so much headache, my lecturers decided to torture, us final year students with double ASSIGNMENTS. Furthermore, for some of the subjects we have to complete a heavy assignment together with midterm. Midterms will be, in a month time. How annoying is that? Sigh. But I can surely say that I will miss doing assignment and exams after i graduate. Oh not forgetting, I have to complete my Final Year Project.

Im currently doing my pilot study for my questionaires and sad to say, from the pilot study conducted, i will definitely have negative relationships between my Independent variable and Dependent variable. And with this, I drew a conclusion that,yes, SEXUAL HARASSMENT topic is not widely discussed among organization and people are not aware of the consequences of a sexual harassment victim.

Chinese New Year is precisely a week more. I have not finish doing my cookies because I had some more orders. Not bad for a beginner in this cookie bussiness. Probably, I will only finish baking next week.

Regarding my CNY shopping, i will be going with my parents this year. Yes, you read right. I hardly shop with my parents because, for 1, they hate going shopping. 2, normally i shop with my friends, and 3, im already 22 years old! But, this year, i think i shall spend some quality time when my old folks. =) Yours truly will be going shopping with them tmr. Wish me luck, luck for clothes.

Oh, for you people who does online shopping, please visit Everything Belle . I find the blog really cool. Im not a eshopping addict but, recently i was checking out the e-boutique and i find it really really affordable. So please check it out ya. I dont get paid for this advertisement ok. Just doing ot out of pleasure. Neways, happy weekend ya'll.

Cookie orders Ends!

2010-01-26T23:06:00.001+08:00

*grins* Sorry for being so self-indulgent but I am very proud of my cookies. I know i deserved to praise myself for it because I was baking with my heart and soul, not forgetting with the help of my aunts, mom and dad. I spent Friday, Saturday and Monday to finish up 26 bottles of ordered cookies. I even had to neglect a important business meeting just to finish this assignment. As in business, im practising FIFO. First in Firt Out. So sorry to my business partners.

The cookie baking process took up alot of my time however i was enjoying the procedure. I actually did not complain of being tired or etc. I just did it, because i love it! Looking back, it was pretty tiring because i had to stand all day. And i was using my hands to do the mixing, the shaping and the putting-in-and-taking-out process. By the end of the day, my legs were aching like mad. Thank goodness i had some brains to not go for my daily walk/jog with my neighbour. =)

26 bottles of cookies used up approximately 5 boxes of flour, 4 bars of butter ( those 500g ones), 1 and the half packet of sugar, 2 packets of chocolate chip, half packet of rolled oats, half bottle of honey ( yes i use honey to lessen the sugar), 4 bottles of vanilla essence, lots of eggs ( i think around 25 bijik) and etc. The recipes are even engraved in my mind.

I baked 3 different cookie recipe : chocolate chip, raisins & oats , almond shortbread. The easiest to do was almond shortbread because it requires no eggs. And the recipe was pretty simple. Almonds, flour, baking powder , baking soda, butter, vanilla essence and sugar.Incorporate the wet ingredients and add them to the dry ones. Chill overnight or around 2 hours and tadaaaa...ur dough's ready for baking.

My aunty called today for extra order but my financial advisor rejected that order because, according to her, i was tired. lol. And furthermore, she only wanted 1 bottle. I wouldn't mind doing if she needs more than 1 though.

Will be baking more cookies the weekend before CNY for family and guest consumption. So if you're interested to try out my cookies, do drop by.

Cookies for CNY

2010-01-24T00:08:00.001+08:00

Flour, butter, sugar, eggs and baking soda. My main ingredients for my leisure Saturday. Today wasn't a leisure day-definitely. I had orders for my cookies. HEHE. Yes, Im in business; making cookies, for now. It's in conjunction with Chinese New Year and I'm only doing it on a small scale. Well, practically i received orders from my aunty in Melaka. She asked me to bake and sell to her because my cookies aren't sweet. Since she's diabetics so she needs to control her sugar intake.

And then the orders spread to Seremban. My aunty in Seremban started asking her friends , whom some of them are my ex-colleagues. Thus, the orders kept increasing. From 6 bottles, it became 12 bottles. And now in total, 25 bottles.

Today i started baking at 11 am and was continuously doing it till 11pm. Ofcourse i took a few breaks in between for lunch and dinner. But apart from that, i kept doing the cookie dough and the cookie formation. I made 3 different types ; Oats & Raisins, Almonds and Chocolate Chips. I was standing all the time until by night time, my legs were aching.

I have another 14 more bottles to go. So, my lovely Sunday and probably Monday will be devoted to cookie baking. Aint complaining, because i enjoy my job. Just that my eyes are painful due to the steam from the oven.

Molten Chocolate With IceCream

2010-01-19T19:23:00.005+08:00

Molten chocolate or Chocolate souffle.

Best eaten when hot topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Actually the original recipe was just chocolate and ice cream but i edited it by adding cherry which was soaked in brandy and also cream cheese.

According to my volunteered-testerss, they said it was heavenly but too rich. So maybe next time should minus the cheese. This molten chocolate is only for chocolate lovers. If you're not then too bad la.

To Help or Not?

2010-01-17T00:06:00.002+08:00

Yesterday after having tea with my friends in Nadeje, Charms pit stopped at Shell to refill her petrol tank .While waiting for the tank the be filled, she was approached by a man. This man, apparently left his car on the high way because his car ran out of petrol. So, he walked all the way from the highway to Shell to fill his small-gas-tank and now he needs a ride to his car.

Looking on the surface, the situation looks kinda decent but there's alil information missing. While waiting for charms, I was actually scanning around the petrol station. Then i saw this man. He was dress in pink shirt, grey long pants and brown shoes.( Yes, i have good, very good picture-memory). He was a fair-not bad -looking, chinese man. I was looking at him because, of his colour coordination. It's pretty weird. Then he caught me looking at him, so I turned my head. But after awhile, i saw him walking towards Charm's kembara.And FYI, this guy looked damn decent, innocent type.

He approached Charms to ask for a lift but Charms, being smart ( thank goodness) said she cant help him because she was in a hurry. The guy asked in english and his english was good. Er, not trying to insult here but well..you get what i mean.

After that, both charms and i analyze the situation. Why did he only target our car when there was so many other cars there? If he could walk to shell to get his petrol, why cant he walk back to his car? Wouldnt it be more logical if he were to ask a man? or a motorist? Why ask 2 young girls? Hmmppp?

So many questions right? But luckily, we didnt offer the ride and he didnt look desperate for it either.P/s: he should call his friends la...it'd be so easier that way.

I've a question tho. What if the man was really genuine. HOw would we know? What if my brother was in that situation? Or any of my guy friends were to be in that situation? Would people like us help? We're not bad peeople but there've been too many cases like this where people try to be good samaritan but end up being used.

What would you do?

Access Denied

2010-01-15T21:24:00.002+08:00

This is totally a random post but anyhow I'm gonna post it. Ever felt that you're unable to connect to a person? Or how hard you try but you are not given the access to know the person further? Confused?

Friends are like pizzas (it's my own quote). Pizzas' have a wide variety of toppings. We have hawaiian, masala, vegetarian, seafood and etc. To many. until i lost count of it But my point is that the pizza base is the same - the plain white flour which is baked into a golden brown pizza base. My friends are like this too. All of us have different personalities but deep down, we're open and comfortable with each other .

Regardless of the topping, i love them to every last ending bite (im imagining they're pizzas now). The situation's like this. I'm feeling a lil bit frustrated that i'm unable to understand or get to know a few peeps. Yes, i know them- on the surface but not more than that.Some of you might think that I should give them time to open up,but I think time is not what I need. Probably i need more conversation? I need to ask more questions? But most people do not like people throwing questions at them. Hmmp?

And, to make things clear, NO I do not have feelings for any of them or im not aftering any one of them. It's just that I'd love to get to know my friends real well. I want them to feel comfortable with my presence and vice versa.

What's the use of going out and being real uncomfortable with each other right? I wouldnt want to stutter when i talk to any of them. And I definitely do not want to plan on topics to talk bout when i'm with them. It's gonna get tiring each time that happens.

Ah well, maybe I'll just wave my white flag at this. I'll let it be for the moment.

" Act like a Lady, Think Like a Man"

2010-01-12T00:55:00.003+08:00

A book which i think will help all the single ladies out there to understand what is exactly going on ,in the men's mind and why are women still single although they are financially stable, beautiful and etc.

Comedian Steve Harvey, or also known as the "King of Comedy" released his very first book exploring relationships between men n women with a good focus on what men are really thinking. It is reviewed that this book provides women with "direct, and often comical advice in dealing with male counterparts".

I think, we, single ladies need advice about men, because most of us single ladies tend to be quite egoistic. Yes, i admit i am one.I was once told by my dear close guy friend that maybe if i were to lower down my ego, then i'd probably not scare guys off. Hmmm...?

Anyway, most women, like me, thinks that we are in the era that we can protect ourselves,work hard to provide our own needs,must not be weak and be too dependent on men. Hence the very stable financial status and increasingly lots of single ladies. However,Steve Harvey says its in their(male) DNA to protect, provide and profess (the three P's) towards women.So, we girls need to allow men to do their job. If a man feels that a woman is capable of doing all that 3 P's, it is in his DNA to feel that we women do not need man in our life.

Actually, i saw this book reveiw on Oprah. He was saying that we girls tend to be so feminist and over capable of ownself till men feels that they dont need to be in our lifes because of our own capability. Is it wrong for us to be less dependent on ?Something for us to ponder upon.

But this book is just a book for you to read to occupy your time. I do not encouraget this book to be a guideline to any single girls because, this book is just from the perspective of a man. What about other men out there? Probably they might be some men who think otherwise? Hmmm?

I should get this book for the fun of it. Doubt they're selling this in Msia tho.

2010 Resolution

2010-01-09T22:45:00.003+08:00

I know, I'm a lil bit tad too late to blog bout my resolutions. And yes, I've listed a few resolutions at the right side of my blog, but those are just a few that i can come up with the other day.

I've been spending time alone recently, thinking and analyzing what I did the past few years. Majorly the things that happened in year 2009 itself. And ofcourse, i reviewed back my resolutions and i only can say that i achieve 60% of it.Not tot bad, i should say, but i can do better. I shall say that over the years, I've grown to be more mature, more patient and less shy. That's an achievement to me. =).

Neways, let's start with the resolutions.

1. Graduate this August = This is a MUST.

2. Stay healthy by exercising and eating right (Note : i didnt say lose weight this year. So cliche d)

3. Expand my friends circle. Definitely need to make more friends.

4. Read more newspapers, particularly the business section.

5. Have more discussion with parents except sex topics.

6. Learn a new language, this time CHINESE. yes..saya cina la. Cina tapi tak boleh cakap cina.

7. Be more extrovert and increase self confidence.

I think that's enough for now.

Movie Reveiws

2010-01-05T14:51:00.003+08:00

My 3-week holidays are filled with lots of movie-watching and hanging out with friends. So far, i think i've watched quite a number of movies but this holiday was tied together with the Christmas holiday and New Years holiday, thus some of the movies had to be postponed.

So, my reviews are based on the movies watched since Christmas hols

The Princess and the Frog

This Disney cartoon was a real relaxing movie to watch after any exams. Filled with songs, beautiful colours and funny moments. Really liked the fact that they decided to come up with a black princess. That's a real shift forward or as Rengga would say " anjakan paradigma". LOL. It's a nice movie la in short

Alvin and the Chipmunk

Ah this movie. Was just alright apart from the "omg..so cute" moments. But the classic laughing part was the scene where they introduced the female chipmunk's bandname " The Chipettes". Sigh~ Overall, it was an alright movie.

Sherlock Holmes

This movie deserves two thumbs up! Kudos to Guy Richie who is the director for this movie. And who says english man has no humour? LOL. The movie was awesome. The actors deserved a few pat on their back for their acting. Particularly Robert D. Jr who acted as Holmes. His sarcasm was spot on. Real catchy and very unpredictable at times. This is one movie that i would watch a second time.

Did you Hear about the Morgans

A real catchy movie with 1 and the half hours of good laughter. Again,the english actor, Hugh Grant had very good sarcasm. It's almost in every scene in the movie but the sarcasm is funny and not annoying. So yeah, it was okay. I do not like Sarah Jessica Parker though coz she overacted in this movie. So, if u're sad and unhappy and bored, watch this movie. Will definitely make ur day.

Avatar

Okay i have no idea what's the hype bout Avatar. The movie was just alright to me. Yes, the computer graphic and sort was awesome. Beautiful colours and plot but it was too long for me. I got quite tired watching the movie in 3D and was constantly checking my phone for the time.In sort, it's a guy kinda movie. LOL.

Will be watching more movies the coming week.=)

The New Year

2010-01-03T17:10:00.002+08:00

Well, i shouldnt be hoping for a dramatic for year 2010 when in 2009. Although, i can say that my year 2009 was less dramatic compared to year 2008 but 2010, came with a real bang!HArdly 24 hours, there were a few dramatic things that I experienced

On new year's day itself, i was driving with a bunch of mat rempit after sending Elaine home at 2.30 am. Yeah, i totally promised myself not to drive at such late hour anymore. Seriously, i was so scared until i literally prayed in the car. Lucky thing,i reached home safely that night but yes, i was scared shit.

Later in the mid-morning, i drove to Tesco to get some errands done. On the way there, i witnessed some dramatic scene on the road. A car slowed down when the traffic light was blinking green (probably his New years resolution is not to beat the amber light) then, there was this motor cyclist riding behind his car. Actually, the car wasnt at fault because the car already slowed down like a few meters before the traffic light. The motorcyclist i think, was in a bad mood that morning. He actually wanted to kick the car that was infront of him and then everything started. He started scolding the driver, showing signs of punching and slaugthering him. The motorcyclist was really angry for no apparent reason. I, being such a kepochi, turned off my radio and lowered my window to hear what was happening. And, my car was just behind the front car. After the traffic light turned green, everything settled.

The next new year's day, i made myself busy by cleaning my cupboard. I took some clothes to give away, sectioned my clothes and etc. Then suddenly, while folding one of my favourite tshirt, i saw some prints on the tshirt smeared. Probably because when ironing, the iron was too hot until it melted my t-shirt prints. The saddest part was, the t-shirt was the one and only tshirt bought in new zealand. Sigh~

Then later that night, i received one sad news. A negotiationed agreed but ended up being dissolved. Sigh

I shall pray for better news ahead.

New Year's Eve Countdown

2010-01-02T01:25:00.004+08:00

Our group ushered the new year in Geographer cafe in JOnker Street Melaka. As usual, Elaine and i accompanied by melissa,went earlier to get seats because the others had to attend family dinner and etcs.

The traffic flow from klebang to kota was very smooth sailing. We were supposed to meet everyone at 9.30 pm but i decided to head down earlier because i was afraid of the jam. So, we left our house at 8.30 pm but reached jonker at 8.40 pm . Very efficient.

While waiting for everyone, I ordered the pesto pasta and OOohLaaa!. Was damn delicious until i couldnt stop eating! Finish the whole plate myself man. WAs supposed to share it with elaine, but i couldnt stop eating. LOL Poor elaine, she had to eat her salad finish. LOL. The food price over in georapher isnt that bad. I think it is much cheaper as compared to their drinks

By around 10 pm, everyone reached. We sat, drank, played, gossip, took lots of photos.2 hours passed so quickly because before we knew it, we were counting down to 1st of jan 2010.

After, we proceed to PAk putra to fil up our empty stomach (not mine but others). In there, we met alot of people. MOstly friends from secondary school.So, it was a gathering of the old and new. =)

Happy 2010!

2010-01-01T09:57:00.002+08:00

Good Morning people and Happy New Year!

Dont you think time passes so quickly? It was just awhile ago when Barack Obama became the first Black US president. Only recently, my friend just celebrated her 21st birthday and then, another 22nd birthday will be coming up- tomorrow. Time flies when your're having fun, especially with the ones you love -family and riends.

Looking back in 2009, so many things had happened. There were plentiful 21st birthdays, vacation in New Zealand (and i totally loved), made more friends (so happy bout it) and many more. Well, life will never be complete if one have no bad moments right? So mine would be, my bag got stolen - consist of hp, money and etc., put on a lil more weight-work in progress to lose, and nearly got banged by MAT REMPITS on the 1st of Jan 2010. HAHAHA!

This year's resolution : GRADUATE and that is a MUST, exercise more to stay heatlhy, vacation vacation vacation! and also, probably start screening for that special some one ( sounds lame but wat the heck).

Well, happy new years all.

50th grand Aniversary

2009-12-23T12:27:00.004+08:00

I've always admired relationships that last very long. Some for more than 5 years or even longer. Some couple who have known each other since they were tiny, some although distance kept them apart but yet, as they say, love conquers all.

Over the weekend, i attended my Chek-kong's and Chim-po's 50th Wedding Anniversary. In english language, the couple is my grandpa's brother and his wife. Well, after half a decade , they decided to renew their vows to each other. The "tea-ceremony" was held in SKE temple witnessed by all cousins and family members. They didnt have tea ceremony la, we just prayed at the bodhi tree for their happiness and longevity.

Later at night, they had the wedding dinner in EQ. All i can say that it was carefully planned. Was one of the best wedding i've ever been . The entrance was grand,plentiful of performances and the atmosphere was very joyous.

There were keroncong singing, piano playing, contemporary dance by his cucu - which i can say is good , the dance i mean, and alot of performances. Mostly in the peranakan style. They even sang " Burung kakak tua and jit jit semut" LOL. The MC, spoke in peranakan language and also in english la. But, the atmosphere was really awesome

I was seated in a table which consist of my aunts, mom and mom's cousins. My mom was literally drunk that night. She didnt drink but she was drunk. All i can say is that she was damn happy that night. Singing along with the song, yam-senging with her tea and pulling her other cousins to yam seng and take pictures

I was awed at my mom and her cousins. I ended up laughing at them. The night ended with lots of picture taking, huggings and well wishes to the couple.

The Joy of Sunday

2009-12-13T15:31:00.004+08:00

Oh, how i love Sundays. It gives me all the pleasure in the world to bake. It has been and always will be a baking Sunday followed by a Gloomy Monday. LOL

After a long week of suffering from surfing cupcake websites, atlast, i managed to indulge in my own cupcake world. Yes, i love to bake cupcakes, so kill me. And no, i dont eat my cupcakes. I MAKE my FAMILY eat them and they'll be the judge of it. I dont eat my cupcakes, because that would mean i have to run maybe 2 extra mile in the evening or pump iron in the gym for extra hour.

So, today's flavour is Mocha Cupcake. Supposed to taste strongly of coffee but i dont think the taste came through. Because, if the coffee taste is strong, then while baking, the coffee smell should penetrate my nossils. But it didnt. And according to my aunt, the cupcakes are abit tasteless. Which i think, is always the case since my family dislike eating sweet things. Sigh~ I have to please my family who are non sweet eaters and my friends, who indulge in sugary stuff like there's no tmr. =)

Anyhoo, below are the result of my pretty cute cuppas.

Mocha cupcakes with chocolate chip and almond toppings

Transformers

2009-12-13T00:04:00.006+08:00

I'm supposed to be studying but im blogging instead. Im being random again. Recently, i was chatting with my sister about some sisterly issues and she being random ( i think it runs in the family) suddenly sent me a picture of myself ( which i hate to look at) 4 years ago. Yeah, 2005 when i was still a "blooming" kid stuffing myself with food. I think i would have the chance to enter Biggest Loser Asia back then. LOL. THank god that didnt proceed to today.

Anyway, my sister sent a few pictures of me which she laughed so hard at. I was "OMG-ing" when i saw the pictures too. And then, i decided to make into a collage of pictures. LOL!. Well, enjoy the pics..

2005-the sohai look

2006- i look like a tong beside my sis

End of 2006 look

End of 2007-my new bob hair.

Good Samaritan

2009-12-04T22:57:00.002+08:00

After about 3 weeks my bag got stolen, apparently, Santa Claus read my wishlist and decided to grant me my wish. I wished ( 3 weeks ago) that, somebody good or the pencuri will return my important documents to me. Which were my IC, ID, licence and my bankcards. Well, today my wish was answered

When i was out in school, somebody came over to my house to drop my documents to my dad. According to my dad, the car was searchig for my house, and my dad ask la who is she. Then the lady ( good lady, me love you) showed my dad my driving license and asked my dad whether does the license belong to his daughter. Then, the rest they say is history.

Actually i didnt know that the missing documents were returned to me until i was busy exercising then my mom passed me a stack of cards. Then when i took the cards, i frozed. I was like " errrrrrr okaay~"

I frozed coz, i didnt expect that i will get my cards back you see. Because i've already done all the important documents paying around rm200 for them. THen now, my cards are all returned to me. Fortunately, i have not done my bank cards, so i was wondering whether my old-stolen-returned-back bankcard can be use.

After looking at my lost item, i then asked my mom " mummy....but i want my phone back". THen my mom started laughing..." u think they wil give back to u? they will sell la nonsense". Well, that part, santa didnt answer . BUt anyway, THANK YOU WHO EVER YOU ARE. MAY GOD BLESS YOU N YOUR FAMILY!!

Girls' Night Out

2009-12-04T22:48:00.002+08:00

My friends and I came up with a plan to have a girls' day out every couple of months just to update one another. Yeah, with all of us coming from different universities, having different lifestyle and different group of friends, memang patut pun we have this gathering without the boys.

Our last girls' day out was in KL, Sunway Pyramid where we had sushi for lunch, shopped and grocery shop for the girls in KL. And not forgetting, eating ice cream

After more than 2 months of not meeting up ( without the guys), we decided to have a girls gathering yesterday night. Well, all i can say was, it was super fun. Without the guys, we could talk anything we want under the sun. Basically, we talk bout stuff we dont want the opposite sex to know la

We met at at 7.30 pm yesterday and stayed at the makan shop till 11.30 pm. 4 long hours of non-stop chit chatting. And our bill came to rm59. Actually, only 3 people ate dinner, another 2 had drinks, but with 5 girls and 4 hours, all of us had 10 glasses of water. =) The power of gossip huh?

We updated ourselves with watever happening around us, our studies, personal lives and ofcourse other people's personal life la. LOL. We're girls u know. But watever told at the makan shop, shall not, will not and could not be shared with other people.

Anyway, i hope that this gathering will take place the next couple of months. Love you girls dearly.

New Moon

2009-12-04T22:25:00.003+08:00

Well, we all know the New moon will be the talk of the town this month. Ofcourse with 2012, another anticipated movie but i guess new moon beats to it

I was, ofcourse one of the anticipaters. But i am not a fanatic comparing to Elaine suah. She's a real fanatic. Hari hari tengok the interview, tengok who was cast for the roles and she is basically my journalist for New Moon.

So well, i waited for the crowd to die down then only i went to watch it. Was my first time watching it so, like all twi-fans, i was very happy to watch the movie. My reason was simple. To see jacob black n his wolve pack. I do not like Kristin Stewart/bella because she's such a bore. Come on, she is. She has a flat face. Her emotions are...so static. THey should cast another actress la, seriously. I wouldnt mind being her....

Neither do i like EdwArd. Ok, to be fair. He's ok la. I mean, he's real sweet and all. Those romantic kind guy , girls tend to dream and fall in love with. Well, i being a girl, yes i do like romantic guys but not overly romantic and sensitive guy. I feel that the director made Edward terlampau jiwang. With his " i cannnot live without you". " This world will mean nothing without you"." You are my world" Oh please, sweet pea, yes we all know that. =.='

Anyway, I like jacob because he's adventurous. FUn, loving, wild and ofcourse his 6 packs la. DAmn, his body is b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.! Was so beautiful,until i nearly drop off my chair when he unexpectedly pull of his shirt *drools*. Well, i shall not sing praises to jacob also, but also to his wolve pack. Damn they're one hot animal. LOL

To me,i guess the movie was such a bore in the beginning because if kristin stewart. Muka boring tu. But the movie went quite well when there was some chasing and conflict here and there. Overall, if they change the actress then i guess the movie will be such a hit. LOL. My own humble opinion la that is. =)

I shall buy the dvd, but only to see Jacob and his wolvepack. I shall fast forward to their parts . LOL.

And the Process continues

2009-11-20T10:14:00.004+08:00

I think, im more angry having to waste money than when i was when rob. When i found out that i lost my bag, or perhaps in a better sentence, I was rob, i wasnt really angry. I was....calm but only felt sad when i needed to use a phone to call my friends.

The other day, i went to the pejabat pendaftaran to make my IC. Well, i thougt with the police report, i might get a discount. I actually didnt know how much would an IC cost. I thought it'll be like rm 50 la. Takkan so expensive right nak buat IC?

Fine, took my number and waited. Then when i was served, the abang read my police report. Then he asked me a few questions such as " so gym itu ada locker?".." tempat letak bag tu macam mane? Terpampang atau ader pengawasan".

Then i told him the story la..den he look at me and say " so jadi, macam ini kamu punye kesalahan. Kerana meletak bag,di tempat yang tiada pengawasan." I was like..WTF sial. Then he continued " Kalao anda letak bag di belakang counter ke, di dalam locker tetapi locker telah dibuka dan bag dicuri, maka itu boleh dipanggil kecurian". Then i also like...macam kena slap on my face coz the lost is my fault. Like..i want the kecurian to happen.

Fine, so i asked him how much i have to pay for it. The moment he replied " macam siatuasi anda, ini kecurian adalah kesalahan anda maka anda kena bayar rm110 ". then I also terkejut giler...n replied with " Haaaaaaaaa? Mahal nye. Rm110. Takde duit laaa". I think he also terkejut..den he reread my police statement and saw that im a student. Then he said.." oh kamu student ah...kalao student ade discount 50% jadi...ia adalah rm60" " Kamu ader student id untuk prove u're a student?"

I gave the fella my CB face and said " bang, saye punye wallet kena curi la..tentu la ID kat dalam situ =.-". Then he kept asking me to proof. Ask me whether i got bring " surat tawaran dari MMU" " Transcript result" and others. I looked at him and say " abang, mane saye ade bawak bende bende macam tu jalan. Tentu la takde. Adui"

I also sudah makin marah because so damn mafan sial. Dah lah kena bayau rm110, then now if want discount, have to provide all this crap thingy. Aih~...

But the abang calmly say " You have to help me help you to get the discount. sebab, ini memang kene ader proof". Fine so i went over to andy's to get my information printed.After that, all settled, and i proceeded to make my driving license. Which was much easier but cost me rm20 to get it done. Better than rm110.

So far, i've spent rm100 ringgit to get everything done. Except for my mmu ID, my bank cards and my phone. Sweat.

Got Robbed

2009-11-16T20:48:00.002+08:00

I guess the title says it all huh?.Well, here's the story. I went to the gym today as usual to just get some adrenaline rush. Lose weight, tone and also be healthy. It's just a normal routine that i do every monday and thursdays/fridays. Im such a regular there until people can recognise me and i can recognise the frequent members there. TSo yeah, i went there around 10.30 am... to start my work out. Im always there for about 2 hours max. So, 2 hours from 10.30 would be 12.30 right?

While i was doing my leg press machine, i saw this new guy coming in. He was wearing pink shirt and long jeans. Normally, people who comes to the gym do not wear like this. We'll just wear our work out clothes la rightt. Takkan nak wear jeans and workout. Sungguh the pelik. OKay, here's the deal. He looks weird from my first impression but i didnt bother him la. But he came to me..like wanting to know what i was doing. He came to talk to me or smile, counldnt really remmeber. So i jsut smiled back. Then he was walking around in the gym....suspiciously.

Then, i continued doing my workout . After a while, i felt thirsty, so i went to my bag, which was located at the bench there together with another few more bags, to grab my bottle of water. After that, i continue my work out..still eyeing the weird man. In my head, i already wanted to ask another member, whether she knows him or not. But i figured that could wait until my work out was done. After 15 mints, i felt thirsty again..so i walked back to the bench...and....

Tadaaaaaaaa...my bag was missing!!!..So i thought, i couldnt be that forgetful till i forgot where i put my bag right. Then i started walking around to see whether i can locate my bag or not....den ONLY I REALISED my BAG WAS STOLEN!!!!

So, i told the datin gan boon leong that my bag was missing..den she said.." hah? that is ur bag ahhh?? Just now i saw the guy wear pink...going out with a bag...walking funnily..i also feel funny...but then he just walk out like that..duno that is ur bag".

I also was like....arrr?? I duno how to react, so i just said yes that is my bag...den i hurriedly rush down the stairs hoping that i can still catch the blardy fucking idiot. Unfortunately, i cant.

So i went up back again, they all of them started talking in chinese. I also talk la with my cina yang sangat hebat tu. LOL. Then the datin was saying...

" Just now, the chinese guy also feel that the malay guy was abit weird weird. Coz after he take the bag, he walk funnily out of the gym." THen i also la say the malay guy abit weird weird. Suddenly came up to me and smile.=.=" Until now i can still see his ciko face vividly in my memory.

After all that, i called elaine..to come pick me up. I asked her to bring Deryck Foo along coz..i dont know how to do reports and stuff. So while waiting for them..i was interviewed by other gym members lo. Aih~ Damn sedih sial. The sedihhest part is my phone is gone together...with every other important stuff..like my car keys, wallet . The most important is my wallet la. Coz my ID IC licence all in it. The money inside only rm15. So...not really important.

I spent one whole day going around mlk to report to the police..then later came home continued my reporting to my Banks. To just freeze my accounts.

And now..i need to concentrate on my assigments when my head is playing drums. Aih~ Show some mercy people!!!!

2009-11-13T10:42:00.004+08:00

Anyhoo, i know this post is long overdue, but today is the only day that i have time to do things i like . Because, i've just completed project(II).

My dad turned 60 on 4th of November. But, he doesnt look his age. Well, most of my friends said , even I couldnt deny that my dad looks kinda young for his age. Probably because he live life to the fullest and his anak-anak yang tersayang never stress him up. =)

The past weekend was dedicated to my dad. On saturday, i had the whole day to my self in the kitchen because my aunts were out shopping. While they were out having fun, i had fun cooking up a storm. LOL. Well, did not cook up a storm la but just baked a cake for my dad. The cake's name is Chocolate cake with cherry and cheese stuffing. Sounds so complicated right? Well, it is just like black forest, but mine is all bake together? LOL

OK so, my cake was a solid chocolate cake, just that i layered it with cherry jam and cheese in the middle then i baked it. So, it is like black forest cake but the only difference is, black forest, they layer the stuffing after the cake is bake. So, yeah, mine is simpler to make. The taste was awesome laa..ofcourse!!! According to my family. I only ate one piece coz kena jaga badan ma. HAhah, normally i dont eat what i bake la, coz i wanna keep fit.

Below are pictures taken on saturday for a small celebration for my dad.

F.Y.P

2009-11-12T00:47:00.002+08:00

Arh, sorry for forgetting to update. LOL. I was really busy doing my FYP. What is FYP? It's final year project. A stupid shitty stuff that all final year students have to go through. A stupid project which acts like a passport to our graduation. Sigh~

And the another sucky thing is that my FYP subject falls in a short semester. So in 8weeks, i have to complete 3 chapters. Chapter 1 is alright. Managed to sail through, but chapter 2 is taking over my life.

In order to complete chapter 2 according to the dateline, i have to wake up everyday at 8 am, on the computer and even eat my breakfast infront of it. My gym routine is also ditched because of it. I even sleep dreaming bout my FYP. SO yeah, tell me about it. Further, i have the niat to even take masters. Pengsan!!!

Anyway, that's all the update for now. Still doing my FYP lo. Friday have to pass up. Aih~

Summary of my New Zealand Trip

2009-11-08T14:27:00.002+08:00

Hello people, very sorry for not updating my blog for a very long time. I didnt know i had followers and readers. Now i know so i shall update my blog on alternate days ya? I have nothing to blog about coz my life now aint happening as it used to be. So, today's post would be bout my summary of my NZ trip.

Before i went for my new zealand trip, my mom told me " eh, im not sure whether you'd like this country coz it's all bout scenery . Not so hussly-bussly like Australia.". I too had my doubts bout this coz i used to hear stories bout NZ is good for people to retire, good for a hideout, good for relaxing and stuff.

So, yeah i went to NZ with that kind of perception thinking that it is a slow-paced county with lots of sheeps and cows.

Well, after i came back from the trip. All i can say is that i really fell in love with that place. Although, the lifestyle is so laid back, slow paced and a lil bit monotonous, but i really like it. My heart felt so heavy on the day i left NZ. I really love the place coz of its weather and NZ is not over populated with Asians compared to Australia. I'd probably go back there to work. HAHAHA!

The NZ air changed me too. 2 of my besties said i was influenced by the air and the sheeps. I felt the change too. I changed into a "morning person, relax, cool and calm" (Suah,2009). However, my 2 friends feels kinda weird with the change. According to Elaine Suah, she feels a lil bit weird around me. But nonetheless. i do bitch too when the situation needs it. LOL

Well, that's all. FOr more pictures, please go to my facebook. TQ!

New Zealand 09 (I)

2009-10-26T23:02:00.005+08:00

Day 1 ( 17th Oct)
Flight from Malaysia to Auckland which took almost 10 hours. The flight was delayed for an hour so we had to wait lo. And the plane so small la. The service also deteriorate already. Sigh, call themselves MH-Malaysian Hospitality? My ...a...s....s.. la.

Day 2 ( 18th Oct)
My holiday began with a very not so pleasant flight to Christchurch via Auckland. Not so pleasant because the flight was so damn lama, the plane so damn sempit. So sempit for my short legs some more. I just cant imagine those tall people. I pity you guys. Once landed in Auckland we have to take the domestic flight to Christchurch . So, this means additional of another 2 hours journey. In all, it was 1 and the half day of travelling d. We reached in the evening, went for a short city tour to the famous cathedral Square, Museum of Canterbury and then depart for dinner. We had chinese. Yum yum.

DAy 3 ( 19th Oct)
Left Christchurch for Queenstown but pit stopped along the way. Visited Lake Tekapo and also Pukaki Look out for a closer look of Mount COok. Also pit stopped at Mrs Jones for fruit testing and also buying. She sells home made fruit ice cream and also ORGASMIC ice cream. LOL. After a long day of travelling, we finally reached Queenstown. It's a really beautiful place but very cold lo. Have to pakai 5 layers of baju at night coz windy and raining. Plus we walked in the rain to go for dinner sumore. Aih~ But, i really love queenstown's laid back lifestyle.

Day 4 ( 20th Oct)
Left queenstown for a visit to Te Anau- the country's second largest lake. From there, we continued our journey to Milford Sound for a cruise. We actually pit stopped in many places but i cannot remember. Too many lakes,hills and sceneries.And too many things to see. Oh, stayed another nite in queesntown. Wondered around during the night and had Turkish Ice Cream. DAmn sedap giler dan dimakan pada malam yang sangat sejuk giler. Malam mandi oso so sejuk.

Day 5 (21st Oct)
Left Queenstown to head back to Christchurch. Along the way, we stopped in Arrowtown which is a historic gold mining town establish in the 19th century. Took some photos of the houses which was so kenit. Heheh damn cute. After that, we went to some where la, which i cannot remember.Coz the itenary changed. So, i have pictures but i do not know where i go . LOL!

My Weekend Masterpiece

Berposing-posing

2009-10-16T23:47:00.004+08:00

Sorry yall for not posting. I apparently forgotten i had a blog to maintain. HEH . The holidays were totally a bore when we do not have anything to do. So, all of us planned some activities for us to do since we were only left with 2 more weeks to enjoy. I planned for a food adventure but it failed and Elaine planned for photo session activity. All of us agreed on the latter as it sounds more fun compared to pilling up on calories and making our waist band expand.

Hence, we decided on a theme and a location. Our first location was Jonker street. I chosed jonker street coz i felt that, with the historic building and all, we will be able to do some old-fashion-modern kinda pose but then, it failed because there were too many people. So, we walkted down to Stadhuys to begin our photo shooting. Below are the pictures taken. ( A FEW OF THEM ONLY)

Btw, it was taken on Elaine's birthday.

Onde-Onde on a SunDe

2009-10-12T22:33:00.003+08:00

Sunday has always been a baking day for me. Either baking or making desserts. Since i love desserts so much, i decided to google on how to make the authentic green small bulat bulat thing coated with grated coconut. Yes, and the bulat bulat thing is known as Onde-onde. It's a peranakan snack, or dessert made from glutinous rice flour or tepung pulut and gula melaka, coated with fresh grated coconut. Tell me, how is that not fattening? Im assuming, each bijik of the small thing equals to 100 calories. =)

Alright, im not good at making peranakan kueh mueh la because im half cantonese ma. So hence, the noob at making it. First timer some more. I got my aunties and my mom to help out. Actually, my mom made the whole batch of kueh. I just helped with the boiling of the onde onde and coat it with fresh coconut and sesame seeds.

The process of making it took a few hours. SAme as baking cakes but then atleast onde onde doesnt need to be in the oven. Hee hee. Just need to boil them until they float then later put them into cold water so that they dont stick. After that, roll them over grated coconut and sesame seed. Easy peasy.

I brought a tupperware out for yam cha for my friends who volunteer themselves to try my cooking. All of them said, the onde onde tak meletup in the mouth, because tak cukup gula. Well, that's what i thought too. But, the steps for making the onde onde was easy, but the part to put the gula in and roll, was quite hard coz the skin kept breaking. Sigh~!

I told my mom bout the feedback, my mom said, next time we do a thinner skn and put more sugar. Practise makes perfect! Looks like I have to face more lil green bulat stuff in a few days. =(

Elaine's 21st Birthday

2009-10-11T20:46:00.005+08:00

Elaine held her 21st birthday party yesterday. It was a luncheon but then everybody thought it was a dinner. HEHE.

I had a really occupied day yesterday. Morning i woke up early to head off to the gym. When makan mesti bersenam ma. So hence the bersenam selepas makan lo. Reached home just ngam ngam to get ready and all that.

While getting ready, i had so many calls. First asking me where is it, second asking me what time, 3rd asking me the first question, fourth asking me how am i going, fifth asking me the second question and the cycle goes on. Macam aku mia birthday ni.

All of our friends were there. IT was a close knit kinda thiing la. Family and friends. That's all we need in life. And money too. and love.

And then, i did the unexpected. All of you guys , should know or would have known that i'm such a shy person right? BUt i ended up dancing hoedown throwdown and sang infront of 45 people. Amazing right? Tasya said she was proud of me. I was proud of myself too. Because, i dont do karaoke and i dont do public singing. But i did it yesterday. HA HA HA HA

Anyway, eating session was filled with camwhoring session. As usual. After the luncheon we went back to her house for more food and ofcourse present opening session. She liked our gifts. YEAY!..

Thanks elaine for having us and being my friend for so long. HA!

I love grandma because she loves me!

2009-10-05T21:16:00.002+08:00

My grams, she's old and she cant really remembers. So most of the time she talk nonsense. In another words, she merepek alot. LoL

While cooking with my aunts, dad and grandpa today, my grannie was her usual self. She came into the kitchen watching us cook, then suddenly she ask " Eh yenn, mana gua taruk (letak) angpau?". THen, all of us were so confused because there werent anybody's birthday that is near this week or any of the week. The past birthday was my mom's. So, we thought she was as usual merepeking.Then my aunt ask " Mo angpau buat pa? Mo buat apa..kasih siapa?"

Then my grandmother replied " mo kasih yenn..." LOL LOL. I was so speechless, nothing to say. I just look at her at disbelief because my birthday was so many months ago. We share the same birthday months you see. So, yeah, she was totally merepeking.

Then i replied " mak ( that's what i call my grams), mo kasi gua angpau buat pa? Gua mia birthday dah lepas. Sama macam mak ma...". Then my aunty, ask her again.." mo angpau kasi siap ni? buat pa?" And my aunt was like pestering my grandma to say.

And then, my grandmother cried. OMG...i was like..OMG why is she crying!!!..then my grandma replie " mo kasi yenn pegi belajar kuat kuat larrr..pegi belajar tinggi tinggi...". THen, all of us were stunned again. Then my aunt replied " dia tengah belaja la ni...". Then, our confusion were made easier when my grandpa said " dia mo kasi jade yenn duit pegi makan again laa....dia merepek". HAHAHAHAHAH!!

Actually, it was my fault. Yesterday when i took home my aunt's luggage, my grandmother asked me a few times where i wanted to go. So i replied, im going vacation with my parents. Then she asked a few more times, so i decided to bluff her saying " gua mo lari .." then she replied " sama kawan lu eh?" then i said " ya..hahahaha!". I totally thought she knew i was joking. Manatau she really thought im going. Aiyo....the thing is, it is funny..but apart of me felt so bad, and felt the love of my grams towards me. Adui~ No wonder she so sedih sedih today. AIh...

Lose Weight Boot Camp

2009-10-04T20:46:00.002+08:00

I think the title says it all right? I've been whining about my weight gain since ages la. But it is getting worst lo. Like it is getting so hard for me to lose 3 kgs! I mean, how hard is it to lose 3kg? Normal human being will be able to lose 1.5 kg at least per week or in 3 days. But, to me, to lose 0.5kg also need 2 weeks of work out and eating like a tikus.

Well, maybe i overlooked at some parts? Maybe im playing games with my own mind? Like, if i dont eat now, den i can indulge in later for dinner? Or, if i eat fruits then later i can have a meal? Maybe. But now, i really couldnt be bother because, all i need is to fit into my jeans. OMG! Serious, i need to fit into my jeans and I'm only left with 2 weeks. How is that possible? Can somebody tell me how is it possible for ME, to lose atleast, MINUMUM, 3kg? *smacks head*

Anyhoo, i will be trying out this lose weight boot camp. It is designed for me by myself ofcourse. Because, i know how to control myself temptations. Okay, here it goes. I think, like 60% it'll work, 40% it'll backfire. So, i'll just give it a go la hor...i wont lose anything.I will start tmr. And the result will be in 2 weeks time.Weigh in is on the 16th of Oct.

On alternate days, i will be visiting the gym for 3 hours max. OKay,i added 1 hour more to my normal routine which is 2 hours. 3 hours of gym , 45 mints of cardio in the evening, and 1 hour of yoga at night. Food will consist of 5 small meals a day-breakfast being the largest of them all. =) That doesnt mean i get to eat nasi lemak or kfc or mcd breakfast set!

On even days, i will( i hope i will be able to do it) wake up at the wee hours in the morning- 7am to go brisk walking with my dad. ( Dad claims he lost weight coz of the brisk walking). Mid-day i will do my Jillian Michael's " No trouble zone" work out and later in the evening wil be 45 mints of cardio. Saturday will be yoga day and Sunday is rest day.

While typing this out, i already feel that i will fail!=.=". Where in the world did my enthusiasm and my determination go? I must have left it in Seremban.

Just wish me luck ok. I need to fit into my 28 size jeans before the 17th.If not i have to spend atleast rm70 for a new jeans. *smacks head hardly*

15 Malaysia

2009-09-26T00:57:00.002+08:00

15 Malaysia is a short film portraying lifestyles, cultures and everything bout Malaysia. They even have politicians inside ( Khairy Jamalludin).I think Malaysian should definitely watch this clip because it is so related to us. Although in real life, everything is covered up by the media, because the media is controlled by the goverment, this short clips actually relate what is happening here in malaysia and to her people.

These clips are must watched clips. It's true, it's brave, it's hillarious and it is MALAYSIA.

Biggest Loser ME!

2009-09-25T16:04:00.003+08:00

Totally can't imagine im blogging bout this. I've been ashamed of my weight, since forever. Sigh~ But i have to do it to get moving!

Before i started my Industrial Training, i had a very absolutely healthy lifestyle. Twice a week to the gym, everyday 1 hour of cardio/circuit training and sometimes i alternate it with yoga.Wait, i actually went for yoga classes once a week! Hence, i looked pretty good and clothes felt pretty awesome on me. Even my jeans fitted perfectly.I'm not bragging but it is TRUE, to me.

Then, i had to attend my Industrial Training for 4 months. Which means, i can't really work out that much, life would be very sedantary, and no more visiting the gym. First month was pretty alright. I didnt feel the pounds yet.

Starting from the 2nd month, i was eating more than i ate before i started my IT. I ate breakfast ( important thing to do to start of my metabolism), then tea break at 10 am , then lunch at 1 pm, and later at night dinner. Dinner wasn't alot. But, there was always something to eat. Now, thinking back on my eating, i think i ate pretty alot comparing to what i thought i ate while i was working.

Oh, besides, i do sometimes exercise in the evening after work. Jogging, and cycling up and down the hill. Although i did it, but i think it was not enough. Sigh~..I led a pretty "healthy" lifestyle while i was workingt too. Slept at 10 pm and woke up at 6am.

But now, after i came back from my IT, i tried on my jeans. OMG~ Felt kinda tight. Still can fit, but it's really uncomfortable. Sigh~

So, Im back to my regular work out. Hopefully , my jeans will be as snuggly buggly in 3 weeks time. If not, i have to buy a new jeans for my trip. Damn~

Retail Therapy Gone Wrong

2009-09-23T21:44:00.003+08:00

Yesterday night i was all in the mood to go for retail therapy. Well, i dont have much to buy, just probably a pair of sports shoes. That's it. And maybe, some window shopping. ( Im kinda bored at home, so i'd do anything to get out of the house before i stuff edmyself with food)

Anyway, i woke up at 6.30 am today. My body have not adjusted to the no-working period. So, yeah, woke up at 6.30 am but i forced myself to sleep till around 9am. After that, had my breakfast, online, and happily dressing up to go shopping. I even took the liberty to dress nicely to go shopping! O.m.g~

While i was driving down, i was happily singing to the tunes in my car. I was feeling really really happy. No work+ no more waking up at 6 am= happy jade.

When happy Jade reached dataran carpark, then everything when from smooth as tauhu to rough as the surface of the moon. After taking the parking coupon, I placed it at my speedo-meter. Alright. Just put there coz normally i will hand the ticket to elaine or put it in my wallet. But today, i was just....out of my mind.

After parking , i started looking for my parking ticket. I search, high and low, up and down, in and out. I even lifted up my carpet, move my seats, check the back seats, check the dashboard. BUT NOTHING!!

Then i started panicking. When i panic, i start to sweat terribly. And lucky thing, at that time, there weren't many people in the parking area. So, i decided to sms my besty to let out my panic emotion. LOl! I even called my another guy bestie. Omg...see..i was totally in a panic mode!

Since i was sweating like mad, i decided to go shopping first. But my first destination had to be CIMB bank which is in MP. Damnnit. So i had to walk to MP to bank in my money, think of a solution to my lost parking ticket and also to cool down my sweat.

I didnt even have the mood to go shopping after knowning i had to pay RM30 for the blardy "lost" parking ticket. Sigh~...

So, back to the parking lot to find my ticket. And then..pom pom pom..there was a car waiting for my parking slot. I told the driver ( 2 young boys..nasib can speak english and they're very friendly which is a good thing) that i was not going out but still they waited for my lot. Fine, i walked over to them, told them i lost my parking ticket and if they want the lot, they have to wait! Okay..apparently, they were very nice, they waited patiently.The driver even said " nvm, it is okay. Take your time". They had to wait like 45 mints... MUhahaha..I even got the security guard to help me find. How embarassing is that? I almost gave up searching until, i decided to check behind my stereng wheel. There! The card was there all along. Sigh!

Imagine me, panicking looking for a card, sweating terribly and having 2 boys witnessed this scene. Aih~ THere goes my market.

After that, i drove to MP, to continue my window shopping...with a happy heart! HA HA HA!

The Ugly Truth

2009-09-21T22:53:00.004+08:00

Disclaimer! Okay, for those of you who haven't seen The Ugly Truth, please do get your butt out there and watch it! It is a hillarious movie to watch. It is a chick flick but heck, i think my guy friend was laughing his heart out.

Anyway, the movie stars Katherine Heigl( 27 dresses, Grey's Anatomy, etc) and Gerard Butler ( 300, Ps I love you, The Gamer). Katherine acts as Abby , a movie producer who dreams of a perfect man but everyone knows, the perfect man is never out there. Meanwhile, Gerard acts as Mike Chadway who is a host on a local talk show called " The Ugly Truth".

Abby thinks Mike is crass and disgusting while Mike finds Abby to be a control freak-She is a control freak btw. She actually did a background check on her date! Nevertheless, when she met the man of her dreams, a doctor named Colin (the doctor is one hot of a man. He is totally sculptured. Reminds me so much of Ken (Barbie & Ken) living next to her, Mike persuaded her to follow his lead. She agreed to his helpful advice and if he can get her the man she wants, proving his theories on relationships, she will work happily with him, but if Mike fails, he agrees to quit- Which we know, in this type of movie, obviously his theory will work. =)

So his theory worked, long story short ( i dont wanna give all away), he fell in love with her! And denn..the rest they say is history

The doctor however, is so hot. Actually, his role in the movie was...quite minor but when he took of his shirt...ooo la la. =)

And, there was this scene, where Abby was wearing a "vibrating underwear"..i laughed till i almost peed. It was really really funny.She had a major orgasm while having dinner with the board of directors. IMAGINE THAT!! Probably i should get a vibrating briefs for somebody's upcoming birthday! lol!

So please watch this movie. It's worth it. But probably, not as funny as the proposal!
