Hong Kong 3.0: Best Roasted Goose and Pigeon

2012-02-16T23:29:00.001+08:00

The thought of boyfriend going to bring me to HK for food and shopping again soon makes me get all excited and all of sudden, missing the gorgeous food over there. As many of you may know, despite the fear of weight-gain (and I gained already), I can never miss having nice food particularly when I'm traveling around.

Other than hawker food, we also hunt for those restaurants with different awards in the region because of the quality assurance. This time round hong kong food hunt, I would like to introduce a superb and award winning restaurant in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Sheung Wan has always been the high end area of hong kong and hence we had really high expectations towards the restaurant there - Yung Kee Restaurant 墉记。

In term of direction, I sucks in that. I do not exactly know how to study the map. And hence I misled the boyfriend for almost an hour WALKING! The fact was I missed reading the map by a station distance and hence so much of walking.

But it was totally worth the walk. I was stumbled across the award this restaurant won at the entrance while waiting to be seated. It was a 3-storey 5 class restaurants and we were seated at the highest floor. And we were the only Asians in that freaking floor, surrounded by 100% caucasians or foreigners from other continents except Asia. Both of us were like o.0, wow?!

Flipping through the menu were different dishes with their own award-winning title throughout the years and recommendations from the chef. And if I was not mistaken, the owner of this restaurant started his career selling hawker food and became famous of his roasted pigeon/goose which he then made big earnings from his fame and opened this restaurant. Sound a bit ridiculous but seems to be true.

Since there was the 2 of us only, we decided to go for 3 dishes - the roasted goose, roasted pigeon with its specialty sauce and beef brisket noodles. And thinking that we can still go for supper if it was not enough. But it turned out that the portion was HUGE which in the end we did not finish the beef brisket noodle. :S Feeling sorry to have it wasted.

The roasted pigeons

The roasted pigeon was the last to serve among these 3 dishes. It looks like roasted chicken to us anyway but no, it was pigeon. The texture of the meat was totally different from chickens. Not to say juicy but it was very tender and went perfect with the special sauce prepared by the chef himself. Due to the fact that roasted goose served before this, this dish seems to be overshadowed by roasted goose in terms of taste.

The beef brisket noodle

Of which the boyfriend asked me why order this when we were in a restaurant. =___= Thinking back, I do not know as well. Maybe I just love beef as much as he loves pork. But ordering this was not a mistake anyway, it was super nice!! The waiter even cut the noodle for me seeing that it's quite difficult for us to split it into two bowls.

roasted goose

This is our most favorite of all in hong kong! It was the best best best food so far I have tasted in hong kong. Totally worth the price! It's not too fat nor too lean, but just nice. The sauce was kind of sweet with a little bit of sourness in it. All in all, this dish was perfect.

And our 3-dishes dining comes to a total of almost HKD500 including service tax and tidbits. What I must emphasize here is yung kee restaurant charges extraordinary high in service tax and the food are slightly pricey since it is an award winning restaurant. But like what I said, it was worth it.

Valentine

2012-02-13T20:12:00.001+08:00

Time flies.

Valentine 2011

This is no longer our first valentine, but the second. What's different from the previous year was that we will not be celebrating it together as we are a sea apart. Having a second thought, not only the distance is different, but the heart as well - Hearts grow fonder for each other. :)

In a blink of eyes, the boyfriend and I have been together for a year and counting. In this one year, he has been my best listener, best talk crap partner, best person to ever show my ugliest side, best person to laugh together with, best partner in-crime to eat kolo mee at 12 midnight, best companion for a late night movie, best person to travel together with and etc etc.

Unlike the fairy tales, our love story is very simple but extraordinary. I bumped into him in Shell, Miri, where I was placed for 8 months industrial training. I must say he did not catch my eye right away, I wont deny this. But when he did, I swear I couldn't look away. Like all other couples did, we went out for dates, to the bar, to lunch, to the beach, to movie together before we are official and I felt completely comfortable being with him.

You know you are comfortable with your date, when even if both of you are completely silent in the car, you still feel comfortable with it, no awkward moment. We do not really share common interest other than traveling. He loves car, I love fashion. He loves action/horror movie, I love animation/comedy/romance. He is not into sweet stuff, while I have a sweet tooth. But because of these difference, we have more to talk about, to share and to argue over it.

My boyfriend is not a romantic kind of guy as well. He does not know how to act romantic in fact. And he can be very stubborn.

He is quite insensible towards my temper too. There was once I was a little upset over him for the whole day but he did not know about it at all and when I told him I was upset, he threw back "Oh is it?" at me, which just made me speechless and felt silly for being upset at him the whole day when he did not know about that at all.

But I can't expect my boyfriend to be perfect because I myself is not a flawless person as well. A beautiful relationship is where I can see his perfection out of imperfections, and be able to compromise each other characteristics and interests.

In 2011, we had been through a lot which is impossible for me to summary in just an entry. The bf has brought me into his kind of world while I bring him into my kind of lifestyle. Because of him, I start to love eating to the max. Because of me, he starts to love photographing to bits. Because of him, I travel to numerous places in just a year. Because of me, he is being forced to have his hair cut short. I can go on and on with this the whole day and never get tired of it.

But one of the breakthrough that I did in 2011 due to this relationship would be composing a song for him out of nothing. I know nothing about music, nothing about notes, and not good in writing lyrics. With the help from a friend, I managed to come out with a 3.30minutes song for him as an anniversary gift. I saw him teared while listening to the song and I swear that's the best moment ever, because I know the sincerity and hard work paid!

Despite his not romantic characteristic, he would always bring me on for a trip. To island hopping and snorkeling, to experience cultures, to enjoy varsity of food from different countries. 2 pairs of eyes, 2 hearts but we are always seeing the same sky.

"If I don't bring you I can never describe how wonderful a place or how nice the food is, so better you come and experience it together with me."

So there we went, places after places, cultures after cultures. Traveling together has always been something we really enjoy together the most.

This year due to clashing schedule and very tight timetable, we are unable to celebrate our 2nd Valentine's day together. He told me it is ok, because we can still celebrate it next year, next next year, and every year since we will be growing old together. Albeit, we had our early Valentine Japanese lunch in Brunei and he said he will bring me somewhere else for nicer food when we meet in March, to create our own Valentine.

And so to the boyfriend,

There will never be a quote,

that explains how much you mean to me.

Never a song,

that truly hits the spot.

Not enough words,

to tell you how I feel.

And not enough time, never enough time,

to show you how long I want to be with you.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Respect

2012-02-12T15:56:00.000+08:00

2 years back, I was most probably the most bad temper person you could ever meet in your life. I get angry easily and just cursed back whatever that could made me feel better without taking into account other people's feelings. I admit I was a jerk back then.

But now, I'm kind of proud of myself that I can take jokes and whatever critics easy, as long as it does not cross my limit. However, people tend to take this for granted that they feel their jokes particularly something very personal are really funny and they can go on and on the whole day and even make fun of me publicly in front of people whom I do not know and I still have to let it go with a big smile on my face. Inside my head I was like keep telling myself to keep COOL and chill.

My question is how many time can you actually chill over a certain matter particularly those related to your family or body or your hair or just your physical look/appearance? Fuck there is a limit right? There are friends whom whenever they see me, we do not have a topic and in order to not having awkward moments, he/she starts making fun of my hair or eyes (because I have super small eyes equally as a thin line) or my shirts or my dress. All I can do is to keep on grinning like an idiot and he/she continues with his jokes and dude, sometime I rather you just shut your mouth and talk no shits.

One particular remark that I always get would be:

"wah wan sin your eyes so sibeh small."

"I know.. thanks. look like korean right?"

"hahahaha so don't want face. so damn small. small eyes yerrr no eyes one."

"haha"

"No eyes one hahahaha eh you see her eyes so small so funny no eyes one!!!"

".. :) with poker face"

"hahahaha how you see things de eh open bigger show me your eyes where are your eyes?"

":) ahahaha (in my head i would have kill you 10 times)"

Like THE FUCK? And this conversation repeats itself until we bid goodbye or it repeats again the next time we meet. For one or two times, I can really accept but if it happens repetitively over times, I get fed up, tired of this kind of jokes and eventually feel that he/she has no respect towards me or even my parents at all. This pair of eyes are given by my parents, by God. What right you have to comment over it.

In life all we need is constructive comment but not critics that will bring one's self-esteem down and down. If that is the way of you to communicate with your friends, clearly this type of communication for me is wrong and disrespectful. What your point of bringing someone down? To make yourself look or sound greater?

I'm not finger-pointing at anyone. Just want to have a chance to vent out my opinions. I might be wrong but this is what I think at least. I just hope that the next time you or whoever meet me, stop making fun of my eyes unless you are my bf or from my family.

Because obviously I'm bored and fed up of it.

The CNY

2012-02-01T23:33:00.001+08:00

I went back home on the 10th this year to prepare for CNY way bit earlier compared to the others. But everything ended up last minute. I was so confident on my wardrobe that whenever people asked me about my cny clothes, I always answer them I have more than enough, that I can wear till chap goh mei (15th day of cny), since I have been shopping non stop throughout the year, buying lots of clothes from whenever I went traveling.

I WAS SO BLOODY WRONG!!

I have totally forgotten that I wore some of my new clothes in Kuching, for certain occasions and etc, which left me all the super casual wears like disney t-shirt?! or those basics tee like fcuk, banana republic or the plain white or plain black tee?!?!! The F. Worst part was cny was on Monday and I realized such thing on the Friday before it itself.

It was too late for me to go to the shopping malls so last minute and needless to say, to hunt for nice clothes. So, my only available option at that moment was online shopping, which at the same time, I was worried if the postage can arrive on time or not as well. -_____-

Not like I have any other way to get clothes, so I just risk whatever shit I got with me. And kept pestering the owner of the boutique to send the parcel immediately so that I can receive it the next day. She was really efficient.

Presenting to you the last minute purchase and my wear on the first day:

It turned out fine. My mum likes it, my bf loves it and I adore the cuttings of the dress itself. Seems like last minute shopping was not that bad of an idea anyway. So on the first day of cny, the parents held an open house at home since it had been the tradition for years. And even though my friends were not as much as compared to my parents', I always turn out to be the busiest (I think). Serving drinks, doing the washings, refilling drinks and etc etc. The fact that my sister is not in Msia and my brother busy with his own visiting plans, I have to do the work of 3.

Even so, I was very happy on that day itself. I got to gather with my friends, family, relatives and it was my sweetheart first cny! :D

On the second day of cny, I decided to wear my purchase from HK.

On the third day:

The forth:

I was lazy to take picture of myself after that. I was busy with pokerssss and more pokersss, gathering and more gatheringssss, food and more fooddd, rounder and even rounderrrr!! F!!

Also, I had some mild irritation on the face on the 2nd day of cny onwards due to I don know why, most probably the foundation that I applied on my face did not suit me at all. Proven that I'm really NOT suitable for make up or anything. -___- Seriously that irritation on the face irked me like hell and thank God it is completely healed now. I was scare shit of breakouts.

Anyway, CNY this year had been pretty good for me. The bf came back earlier as well to accompany me because initially my plan was to go back on the 1st of feb, but who knows I changed my ticket to even later. ;P

This is late but happy cny everyone!

Bali 3.0

2012-01-21T15:13:00.000+08:00

One thing I learnt about blogging is there shouldn't be any procrastination. I went to so many beautiful places in Bali, but now looking back at the pictures, I sort of forgot the name of some of the places. What a waste of the tickets and everything.

After having our super filling and fattening suckling pig as brunch the other day, we headed straight to one of the many rice paddy fields in Bali, which at the first place when I heard about visiting such place, I was so uninterested and reluctant to go. Rice paddy field. =.= But the bf was those kind of person who won't want to miss any single place when traveling.

So we went, under the super hot weather.

Luckily the bf forced me to go! I was actually kind of in love with the greenery view. I felt serene being there despite the scorching hot sun. The way the farmers organize their lands for agriculture purpose definitely put me in awe.

I always thought Bali was ALL ABOUT BEACHES. Such a wrong perception from movies and series. So Bali was definitely an open eye to me - I never expect to visit paddy field, temples and etc. And their cultures and languages were so different than what I always thought.

Due to foreigners flooding into Bali, everything in Bali was so expensive.

I wanted to buy the coconut here but it was so freaking expensive. RM10 for one coconut. Why not they just robbed me straight instead? Whyyyyy?

And like what I said, Bali has always been different in cultures. I could never see a lady carrying things on her head or hundred of places selling craftings like below.

We also visited the sacred bath place in Bali which the indonesian believes that bathing in the sacred place will ensure good health, wash away the sickness and one way of receiving abundance blessings from their God. The bf thought of trying but since we did not bring extra clothes, we just shrugged off the idea of doing so.

As a matter of hygiene, since everyone is dipping in the same pool, I wonder if it is really safe doing so. They even drink the water straight from the pool . 0.o

So this make my Bali 3.0

What define Friends?

2012-01-17T00:06:00.000+08:00

I attended my cousin's violet wedding in KL during the weekend. It was really beautiful and many touching moments. What touched my heart was her vows to the husband in front of the priest and the guests.

One particular sentence which imprinted in my head was "wee loon, my friend, my love."

"My friend, my love."A simple four words phrase but contains powerful meaning. The husband for her, is her best friend whom she can share all her happiness and down moments with, with no boundaries. She can cry hard on his shoulder, hug him tight enough out of happiness, share whatever she wants be it knowledge or silly things, knowing that he will always be there for her. Because of this reliance and dependence, there comes love and then marriage.

But what brings me to deeper thought is the word "friend".

I know true friends are difficult to look for, what's more a close and sincere one? Me in particular, has been difficult in making new friends because of the first impression I always give people without fail - The "lansi" or so called ignorant look, which was out of my intention at all. I was born this way, with this look. Then because of this, people start making judgement that I'm proud, not easy to approach, and this and that, which was really UNFAIR for me.

People start making judgement before they even know me.

Yes, I do have some really really good and close friends whom I treasure. There are also friends whom I was once so close with during high school, then because of studies we were drifted apart, then slowly become some kind of awkward friends whom we do not have topics to talk about when come to whatsapp and face-to-face. When I made an effort to reconnect back the bonds and see no mutuality, I gave up.

I vented out my problem to my close friend and the bf. They told me it is normal. Friends change with age, with environment, with interest, with location. One cannot have MANY good friends, they can only have either one or two and that's enough. =/

I need friends, whom when I talk to him/her about my problems he/she is sincere enough to be my listener. I do not need friends with masks, they are so fake.

Then again, it is never easy.

p.s: i'm good, just some thoughts.

Finally A Break!

2012-01-12T16:19:00.001+08:00

Finally a break off from studies and exams. Done with final year 1st semester which also implies that I'm one step closer to graduation. :D In my next coming 8 months, I just have to take another 4 major exams and then I will be done with my university and my study life.

Now that I'm back in Miri, I'm suppose to write and post more entries here. Then again, I'm a little bit off the mood now since I'm quite busy with my sweetheart angel, family and bf. And I will be flying off to KL tomorrow for the weekends with the family and bf for CNY shopping and to attend my cousin, Violet's wedding.

We will be staying at Boulevard's Hotel for 2 nights and definitely anticipate good food and fruitful shopping throughout the weekends. Oh, time to check what movies to catch as well.

Will be back next week. :) xx

Sweetness Overdose

2012-01-02T21:50:00.001+08:00

p.s: please pardon all pictures quality. Taken using hp

In fact, I just touched down in KL yesterday night after my super duper short 1 week break in Kuching. Days seems like hours in Kuching but now since I'm back to the university, hours seems like days. Anyway, just another 9 days that I have to bear, take the final exams and I can go back to Miri and get all ready for CNY!

And this afternoon, I changed my flight again, which means a longer break in Miri :D

Back to December. December had been really good and lovable to me. It was Christmas eve when I arrived Kuching and we settled the eve dinner at Pullman Puzzle for buffet dinner.

It was our first time celebrating the Christmas as couple. Could still vividly remember the 2010 Christmas was also spent with him, Louis and some other friends in Cherrie Berries Miri. How time flies and brought us to what we are now!

The buffet dinner itself was so-so, not a wow factor for the both of us and we agreed that Park City Buffet was still one of the best. The whole restaurant was super packed and luckily we reserved a table for two like a month ago. (so kia-su right? :P)

The next day, attended Calvin and Emm's wedding at the Banquet. It was a beautiful and warm greetings and best part was I get to catch up with my friendssss. :D

Please ignore that guy at the back, such a spoiler. :P

The girls

and the newly wedded.

And it was my first time ever to actually see such a special bride's car. Ferrari 430 as the bride's car. How else special could it be. My bf and the guys got so hyped over it, over the engine and etc etc which I don't understand at all. All I knew was it was a yellow color ferrari. Typical girl me.

And I really love it!

Other than that, the bf and I celebrated our anniversary in Hilton Steakhouse on the 27th as well! And I finally wore one of my favorite dresses which turn out to be quite big for me. :S

So much of loves. Hilton steakhouse served really nice steaks even though the whole menu had only 2 pages. No wonder the name - steakhouse. Just steaks and only steaks. Caught Sherlock Holmes 2 in the cinema after that, simple celebration. :) And many people had been asking me his anni gift.

With steven's help, I actually composed a song for him. Took me so much of courages to play that video to him because it was my first time doing such thing. And he loves it. Luckily. :P

Other than all those celebrations and stuffs, we dated casually as well. Our utmost favorite activity would be hunting for supper in kuching. I pretty much love kuching hawker's food especially their cha kueh and teh-c-peng and also ice lemon tea! These 3 are my favorites in kuching. We had supper every single night in Kuching!

And that's the reason of our weight gain in this 1 week. I gained at least, at least 2kgs! And my pants are so tight now, which make me feel like throwing away all the pants and just wear dresses. Hrmph.

Took pictures of some of the food that I savored in kuching. Was so lazy to bring the camera out, even my bag because it kept raining raining and raining non stop.

My favorite kolo mee, yummy.

The infamous kuching sio bee

and my favorite cha kueh!

On the 31st december which was the NYE, bf and I went to starbucks to chill then sidewalk restaurant to have some western. Plan to hit the club but then can't find enough partners in crime. :/ So I spent my countdown at Bing! Cafe with the bf and Richard before we moved on to 101 for supper.

Even so, I was happy enough just by thinking that I will be graduating in 9 months time. :D

I was so reluctant to leave kuching on the last day itself thinking about my uni, my small room, my small bed, the dirty and oily cafe, and everything. :'(

But now since I'm back, I will just have to bear with it and kick final exams ass before going off for my CNY breaks. Exams? Bring it on!!

loves

Recap of 2011 :)

2011-12-23T03:42:00.004+08:00

Ahhhhh Thank you God my exams, final year project and etc burdening stuffs finished just on time before Christmas, which I can definitely allow myself a deserving self-declared Christmas and New Year break like some of the friends do.

So before flying off to my christmas break, just in time for me to write an entry recapping the eventful 2011 and my 2012 resolutions!

With God's abundance blessings on me and the family, 2011 had been a really great year because everyone in the family has been doing good. Parents are healthy and happy, sister is adapting to London lifestyle, brother to Melbourne's, me to Shell and then back to uni, and my aunt blessed with a baby girl! I'm going to summarize my 2011 in numerically, from the early 2011 to the later:

1. Internship in Shell Miri

I had my internship training in Shell's Wells Department where I was given the opportunities for various trainings, attending courses for different certificates (extra credits to the resume!), meeting people from different companies and fields, traveled to Brunei quite frequently for data collection (which I dislikes), training & workshop in Labuan, BOSIET training/sea survival training, onshore and offshore experience.

For that 8 months, not only I enjoyed and learnt a lot from the internship, but the fact that I met a lot of people and expanded the social network did delight me as well. Did I forget to mention I met my Mr. Right in Shell during my internship as well? LOL

2. Visited bf's family in Kuching for the first ever time

This is nothing new for most of the people actually but it was my first time meeting boyfriend's family, the first time I actually followed someone back to his house and being introduced as the girlfriend. Man thinking back, still can remember how nervous I was that time.

3. Celebrated CNY without my sister ( >:( )

Even though my 2011 CNY was great, but the fact that my sister was not around the house cause she is pursuing medicine in London added a tinge of sadness to me during that time as well. My sister and I are really close that we can sleep together, do craps together and etc etc. So imagine my CNY without her and I have to bear with this for another 2 years. :(

4. Islands Hopping in KK

I have always love beaches, islands and water activities! Island hopping had always been in on of my to-do list and I did it with the boyfriend when we went KK together! We conquered Sapi, Manukan and Mamutik Island in KK. (:

5. Celebrated his birthday together for the first time

Haha, I still remember this vividly. Only my mum and I knew how much time I spent planning for his birthday. From the decoration to the gift to the surprise, did it with all my heart. Glad that he loved it and it was our first time celebrating birthday together since we were just together not long that time.

6. Expanding the social circle

Been hanging out a lot with my friends throughout the year as well. Movie, sing k, shopping, tea, and many more. It did not sound like an achievement in 2011 but for me it is. I have always wanted to become closer to my friends!

And I made a lot of new and great friends too! :D

7. Autumn- Winter Vacation in Perth

The bf and I also took some time off and went on a relaxing vacation in Perth - a very very laid back country, really comfortable. We went there for 1 week or more and spent some quality time there. It was approaching winter that time, really love the weather there. Also, for the first time ever, I experienced my first farm stay at Margaret's River, Perth, where in the middle of the night, I could hear the sound of ponies, kangaroos and some other animals which I don't know.

8. God blessed our big family with Angel!!

On 13rd of July, my aunt gave birth to a baby girl - Angel Lau! Such a great blessings and all of us are so so so thankful to have her around. She brings so much happiness and laughters to the family. My cutie pie.

9. Completed my internship in July

I bidded goodbye to Shell in July and fulfilled my internship requirements by UTP.

10. A food trip to Muar, Penang, Malacca with besties

Went on a 8 days eating trip with my close friends in uni right after internship around Penang, Malacca and Muar. Tasted the infamous penang fried kuey tiaw, loh mee, prawn mee, assam laksa, durian puffs, satay celup, nyonya food ... ... ... ... and many more. Great memoriessssss and road trips!

11. Conquered Beijing in early August

The bf and I went to Beijing during the summer season in August. It was unbelievable hot but still, proud to say that we conquered Beijing! It was my second visit to Beijing and since my last visit like 4-5 years ago, Beijing really did change tremendously.

12. Conquered Shanghai in mid August

Visiting Beijing alone wasn't enough for us. Hence, Shanghai during mid August. Managed to visited Hangzhou and Suzhou as well. It was scorching hot and I got tanned. What I missed in Shanghai the most would probably be the food!

13. Conquered Hong Kong in September

Hong Kong topped all the places we visited in 2011 I would say. I love the food there to the max especially their roasted goose and dim sum. And the shopping? Truly a shopping heaven not to be missed!

14. Conquered Macau and the casinos there! :P

We went to Macau and tasted the famous Macau eggtarts, beef briskets and visited majority of the historical places. And we visited almost all the casinos in Macau as well. :P

15. Shenzhen in September

Our only regrets would probably be catching the wrong show/performance in Shenzhen's windows of the world. T.T But shenzhen was kinda boring, so don't think I will go back for the third time anymore considering I been there twice already.

16. Back to uni in late Sept

Uni started on 25th of September and on the first week itself, we rocked our final year student life with a drinking and bonding session at euro house. Hanged out with Wai Boon for the first time ever as well. :D The second week, we went to KL Zouk for clubbing session and despite all the funs we had, I LOST MY PHONE THERE CRAP.

So, for the first time ever in my life, I lost my phone, a freaking iphone4 and lost it in a club and it happened in 2011! :(

17. Celebrated my 23rd birthday in Singapore

The bf and I flew to Singapore to celebrate my 23rd birthday in October! :D Super happy that time. We dined at the best fine dining restaurant in Singapore - Forlino Italino and went to Universal Studio the next day. Best birthday I ever had. :)))

18. Conquered Bali in November

The bf and I went to Bali for a short holiday in November. Bali was an open eye to different cultures to me and it was beautiful. However, everything in Bali is super expensive!!

19. Will be celebrating Christmas and new year with the bf together differently

Which I will blog about this separately after the celebration itself.

To sum it up, my 2011 had been full of traveling here and there with the bf. :) Also been able to spend quality time with family back home all thank to having internship in the hometown. No regrets for my 2011 at all. Thank you God for everything that happened as I believe things happened in your ways, with your reasons and I have no questions towards it.

As for my 2012 resolutions, I wish that:

The family will be in great health, amen
Graduate successfully in September 2012
To be able to visit my sister in London end of the year
To not skip Sunday services
Spend wiser, think wiser, be more grateful and forgiving
Consume less junks like ice-cream, chips ... (LOL?)

That's all! :) A Merry X'mas and Happy New Year in advanced to all of you.

The ME Time! :D

2011-12-20T20:33:00.000+08:00

I FINALLY have the time to sit back and relax, cooking a decent meal for the housemates and doing anything I like: nail polishing, playing with hair, staring at the wardrobe and etc etc after a really hectic week! I'm done with FYP 1 at least and 2 tests!

All left for me to do now is to pack my stuffs and start counting down to my Christmas holiday. It's going to be a really eventful week. Have a guess why. :P So super duper excited but wait, there is one more thing for me to finish up: (secret!). Will announce in facebook soon if it is successful!

Omg omg omg omg sooooo happy now! :D

The other day right after I played my hair with the hair band below, the flower came off from the band. Such a turn off! There gone my $$ of purchasing this cause I barely wear it T.T Like this so much and I have no idea how to fix it back.

Anyway, will be back tomorrow. Time for some other things at the moment. =)

missing the matcha green tea ice cream currently. :/

Uni 3.0

2011-12-14T20:24:00.000+08:00

Took me such a long time to blog about uni. :/ My university life has been all this while different from my brother's and sister's. My brother is studying in Melbourne, sister in London, while me? In Perak Shit Hole. But I have no blames.

It was my choice at the first place to accept the scholarship.

But I clearly remember when I googled UTP before coming here, it mentioned that it is an engineering school, not a religion school. Why the phrase? Because i'm so sick shit of listening to certain group of people or whoever preaching about their religion nobility all day long. I'm not being irrespecutful or trying to stir anything up. I just don't understand why can't you guys just practice your own religions quietly without interfering with other people.

You don't come and tell me what and what not to do. Just mind your own business. So freaking sick of all these shit. Even if it doesn't happen on me, by just listening to it I feel damn sick already.

A random shot taken as early as 7am in the university

Putting all else aside, I have been trying hard to make my university life as interesting as I can. Been hanging out with the guys to Ipoh for dim sum, k session, movie, shopping or just for the sake of food quite frequent this semester.

One thing I'm grateful of is my drilling lecturer whom also happened to be my fyp supervisor. He is really a nice and knowledgable guy and finally there is one lecturer in my university whom I really like. :) Previously I don't even bother who's going to teach me or what, but this guy he is really patient and passionate in teaching our class.

Then also when I was attending a short course last week, my lecturer insisted me to chat with the course instructor wife who can't speak English. Pfffftt. The husband had to practically translate all our conversations and become our translator. Funny. Anyway, one thing that I should mention here was my instructor was 33 years old while his wife, only 18. :O

And she was really pretty.

Food wise, I had quit eating cafe food, again due to the fact that I had diarrhea or stomachache almost every time after that and they charged us student at very unreasonable price, serving vege soaked in oil, needless to say about the chickens. So, I had been eating real lots of dairy products nowadays and it was wayyyyyyy 10000 times wayyyyy better than cafe food.

My most favorite and the perfect combination would be: super cold low fat milk with kokocrunch as breakfast; bread with tuna and cheese + half boiled eggs + crackers & jams + grape as dinner.

Though it could be fattening at times since I do not exercise in UTP but who cares. Super love these two combinations.

Back to work now. Can't wait for Christmas to come.

Though I may not be celebrating it in a Church, but I will never forget the real meaning behind it. A mighty savior was born because He loves us and died for us on a cross for our sins. <3

Bali 2.0

2011-12-12T21:43:00.001+08:00

I'm actually very blardy busy all thanks to my final year project which is such a !$^@^$%^Q#@ pain in my ass! Decided to take a break off it for a while and suppressing my urge to curse my final year. On the bright side, accomplishing fyp means i'm one step towards graduation, even though it is 9 months away.

:S God knows how much how desperate I want to leave this shit place.

Continue with Bali 2.0, it will be all about one of the must-trys in Bali as advised by trip advisor - Babi guling also known as suckling pig. Which means piglet being roasted and serve to you on table with their special sauce. Reading so much about suckling pig from the internet, I had so much expectations towards it especially how people exaggerated how nice how extremely delicious the suckling pigs in Bali served in Ibu Oka Warung are.

Ibu Oka Warung Suckling Pig was so famous that they have branches all over the places in Ubud, Bali. Being a ~~pig~~ pork lovers, the bf of course insisted the driver to bring us there despite the jam in town. Omg one thing I must about is the traffic in Bali, really OMG, I will go insane if I'm to stay there for long.

We reached Ibu Oka Warung at around 1030a.m. I expected to see people queueing up for it like how people queue for nice food in China, Hong Kong, Perth and etc but to my "dismay", we were the first customers. The whole shop, minus out the workers, was empty. Were we too early or what?

(.______.)

The driver stopped us at the road side and showed us the direction to walk to the restaurant as there's no way the car can drive in such a congested path. The Ibu Oka Warung branch we went was right beside some sort of jungle and hence the mosquitoes.. =__=

I super duper hate mosquitoes.

So, since it was a shop that sells pork, everything there, the design had something to do with pigs, even the basins. Pardon me it was my first time seeing such thing. :P So NOT adorable at all. It was like our own shop that we just left our bags on the seats and walked around snapping pictures and did a wee bit of exploring to the kitchen to see how they roast the pigs but unfortunately, no. :( They roasted the pigs elsewhere, brought to the shop and sold there.

In just 10 minutes, there came our food. It was like pork rice to me. Ibu Oka did roast their suckling pigs to their own specialities and their sauce just went perfectly well with the rice. It was worth the 1 hour drive in search for suckling pigs in Ubud. I gave it a 8/10 as the plate of suckling pigs actually made me super duper fat and full after that. I had mine at RP20,000.

The bf opted for no rice but more porks and pork skins instead. Price around RP27,000. Serve him right when he told me he felt so bloated with porks half way eating. (Troll face). We were so full that we even skip whatever snacks that we planned to have initially. :S He gave his a 9/10 ratings with a "nothing special" comment. He just loves porks.

My bf told me that kenny sia rated Bali as his #1 trip in 2011 and USA as #2. Well Kenny Sia, are you for real?

AlexChen's Birthday!

2011-12-07T19:01:00.001+08:00

I particularly love birthday party/bash cause it's damn of a sign of nice food and catching up session. Celebrated one of the close friends - Chen Ming Hui's ~~22nd~~ birthday with the gang at Daorae Korean Bbq last night. It was my n times dining in daorae, be it KL/Penang/Ipoh, and it is still the best korean restaurant ever for me. At least the taste is authentic and genuine enough.

The boss birthday. We celebrated on the 6th of December which was yesterday, coincidentally, it was the beginning of the close friendship which took place exactly a year ago when both of us were offered internships placement together at the same place and spending the next 8 months together. Throughout these 8 months, what can I say. We basically know each other flaws pretty well.

Since there were 8 of us last night, we ordered 4 bbq sets: 80% porks, 20% chickens. The porks we ordered were the marinated pork belly, pork ribs and pork specials. While the chickens were just marinated chickens with sweet sauce. Price range for one set of bbq was between RM28-RM35, which was reasonable enough as it was quite a big portion.

Serving with 8-10 main appetizers (for free and refillable), it was really good. I myself truly love the kimchi, steam egg and coleslaw. I think we refilled like 3-4 or more times yesterday. Part of the reasons why some of us feeling so bloated before eating some of other main courses.

The highlight and my personal pick in Daorae would be the bbq pork belly marinated in specially made sauce. Upon bbq-ed, dipping it in two different sauces and wrapping it with super fresh vege was just beyond words. For people who know me well, I do not eat pork belly. But when it came to Daorae, I couldn't help but putting slices of bbq-ed pork belly into my mouth and chew to satisfaction!

We ordered one set of bibimbap as well since it was one of the recommended dishes by the restaurant itself. Serving at RM20 for one, it was definitely worth the price. With the serving size, it definitely can't be finished by just one person. Mixing it with the prepared chili sauce, stirred it with the spoon, and ready to be consumed.

Not missing the Korean pancakes which was omelette-like. I'm gonna try making this when I'm back in Miri as it seems pretty easy, except for the sauce which was their sort of secret-recipe.

And the most appetizing of all and best served in cold weather/room would none other than the kimchi steamboat. Inside the steamboat were: korean rice cake, korean noodles, porks and kimchi. For a large set, just enough for portion of 8.

Our last main course was the fried glass noodles which was Alex's most favorite of all. Do not look down on such a small plate of fried glass noodles, it may look normal but it absolutely do not just taste normal.

It was definitely one hell of a nice gathering and celebrations.

And the 5 of us called a night off by spending 4 hours in kbox, singing to the heart contentment.

Happy belated birthday, Alex Chen!

Hong Kong 2.0

2011-12-06T16:48:00.001+08:00

The bf and I had covered 12 places/2 continents in 2010 all in all. And we came to the conclusion that Hong Kong definitely served the best food be it fast food, franchisee, local delicacies, snacks and etc. Hong Kong would never be completed without tasting their dim sum. This was my second time visiting Hong Kong, and their dim sum has definitely improved much since 2004. 6 years gap, the quality did not deteriorate at all.

After doing much research, we decided to give 添好运点心专卖店. Tourists from various continents been giving almost full rating out of 5 on this shop. So, waking up as early as 9am, (do bear in mind that almost all the shops in HK open at 10am or after 10am only), went to the nearest outlet of 添好运 based on the place we stayed, we still had to queue for 1.5 hours for seats.

With people queueing up way earlier than us already, we knew that we did not make the wrong choice choosing this dim sum restaurant. The chef himself was a former 4 season chef, specializing in dim sum, where he decided to quit 4 season hotel and started running a restaurant himself. Within 1 or 2 years, he has opened at least 3 branches in Hong Kong.

The choices of dim sum offered weren't that much. But, they were all really FANTASTIC. From the look to the taste, the bf and I gave 11/10. So good that we agreed that it was the best we ever came across. And so we ordered everything that was recommended on the poster even though there were only the two of us.

Another thing worth mentioning would be this restaurant been awarded the OpenRice Best Restaurant Award 2011, best Guangdong Restaurant, and best restaurant in Mongkok.

So, our utmost favorite in this restaurant would be the 波罗叉烧包. All this while the 波罗叉烧包 that I have tasted in other places if not too dry, then it was too hard or not crunchy at all. But this one, omg it was so good. I had the urge of bringing some back for my family but too bad, there's no such thing. This is a must try! The bf and I even re-visited this restaurant the next day just for this but too bad the queue was like 2 hours so we shrugged the thoughts of it.

Highly recommended!

Then we also had the 猪肠粉, but an extraordinary one. We decided to try the 猪肝粉 which we never come across of in Malaysia. It was more to acquire taste I would say. Another worth trying.

There come my favorite 虾佼 as well. The skin wasn't thick at all. It was just right. I hate eating 虾佼 which the skin was too thick that I can't see the prawns at all. This was real good, no kidding.

The bf ordered this as well which actually seem to be the less attractive for me in terms of appearance. But then again, it really taste yummy. Oh no I'm definitely missing hong kong dim sum for now. I hope my mum will eat all these for me again when she is going there somewhere in April 2012.

These are the 烧卖 that we always heard of in the TVB series/movies. What I must say is, no wonder hong kong people love ordering this so much. The pork together with the prawns are just perfect. I was wondering what sauce they used to marinate the porks and prawns while eating, totally clueless how awesome it can be.

As for our desserts after such a heavy breakfast, I ordered the 桂花糕 which the bf dislikes by just looking at the pictures. It was actually some kind of jelly alike thing with chrysanthemum tea leaves in it. The moment I stuffed it into his mouth, he fell in love with it. My favorite!

And since we been waiting for the seats for like 1.5 hours, we decided to order another plate of dim sum before leaving. Our choice for the last plate went to 箩卜糕. Was feeling so full after the breakfast, so happy!

I was not exaggerating how good the dim sum was at all do take note. And I'm not writing as an advertorial post for them, in fact i quit writing for the sake of pocket money for quite a long time already. Now, it's purely interest. So, when I said it's good, I mean it. A total honest opinions.

So for those we will be paying Hong Kong a visit soon, do visit this restaurant if there is a chance! Or I must say it should be in one of your to-do list in hong kong!

The bill came to around hundred something. Price range for a plate of dim sum is HKD16-23. Despite the long queue, it was worth it.

Very Ill-Mannered Person!

2011-11-30T13:02:00.001+08:00

Yesterday when I was so totally engrossed in the korean series - dream high, which I must mention was a damn good series that literally took all my attention. I had quitted watching series since mid 2010 cause I figured out that once I started watching, I had a difficult time to stop myself from it.

So dream high, a must watch. The actors, all the main actors are so so so handsome.

Back to story, when I was all alone watching this series in my room with the damn door closed, one of my very very fucked up ill-mannered housemates can just opened the door, MY ROOM'S DOOR, without even knocking, came in put something on my absent roommate's table, and walked out like no one effing business.

She was so screwed up that she did not even bother to say a HI or BYE or even look at me?! What the F is wrong with you seriously? What the hell happened to your upbringings? Did you parents not teach you all these basic manners in LIFE which even my primary school niece/nephew know about it or you are just plain ignorant?

You know I have been controlling my temper really well recently that I rarely get angry at people. But people who have no manners at all, I really hate it, from the bottom of my heart. I hate ill-mannered people so much that I feel like reaping their skins off their face. SERIOUSLY.

I'm so sick of people like this. F

Some said that I should lock my door at the first place. Hello are you out of your mind or what? Door open or close, lock or unlock, the ULTIMATE MANNER, BASIC MANNER, before entering anyone's room,

KNOCK THE DAMN DOOR!

Bali 1.0

2011-11-29T18:46:00.000+08:00

The bf and my oversea trips together for 2011 came to a full stop in November, and we decided to do it in Bali. In the movie Eat, Pray, Love, it mentioned Eat in Italy, Pray in India, Love in Bali. We have yet to go Italy together but I believe it won't be long anyway. :P India is out of our list currenly so we chose Bali first.

I have never set foot in Indonesia in my past 23 years. Been watching Bali in all sort of korean series, American movies and etc, beaches and temples it seems so amazingly beautiful to me especially those pre-wedding/wedding videos shot in Bali. And hence, my high expectations towards Bali.

Beautiful beaches, attractive temples, cheap.

Oh God I was wrong for the cheap part. Bali was freaking expensive in an unbelievable way. Never though for an island one kg of crabs would cost around RM60++. Never thought one plate of suckling pig with rice for one would cost almost RM30++.

The question that was being raised constantly by me to the bf was

WHY DON'T THEY JUST ROB ME INSTEAD?

We arrived Bali around noon time, picked up by our driver, checked in into hotel and off we went touring around Bali, looking for food and deciding the first destination we should head to. We did lots of research on the food and places to go before our arrival but unfortunately the information was not up to date at all. Many restaurants or stalls as strongly suggested in the website were either being closed down or had moved.

It did turn me off a little but albeit, we managed to find a decent place to settle for our lunch.

I ordered the Alpukat juice which was blended Alvocado with chocolate favor. It was not really refreshing in such hot weather but it does taste unique. Something which I never thought of blending together and making it a drink. Worth trying anyway for whoever is going to Bali.

The famous Alpukat Juice

Then as my main course I order the ringa jingu or something like that as it sounds new to me. It was so-so. It was certainly more to appetizer than main course as I feel really bloated after just taking 5 mouth of it. :/

Then we went to the GWK cultural park which I forgotten the full name. It was one of the sacred places in Bali.

To my amusement, 90% of the Bali-nese practice Hinduism. All this while I thought they are Muslim. Definitely an open eye.

Then we went to the Uluwatu temple which was situated on a cliff to watch the sunset and kecak dance. I can say that Uluwate is the most beautiful place for me in Bali and is a must go, but beware of the monkeys! The view was definitely breathtaking and one will be amazed how great God's creation are. The kecak dance started at 6pm and hence both of us missed part of the sunset as we were in the midst of the show.

Uluwatu top and below. BEAUTIFUL!

I went to Bali for several nights and this post is just purely day 1. Will be back with more. :)

Shen Zhen, Windows of the World

2011-11-05T16:04:00.002+08:00

2 months ago, boyfriend and I made it to Shenzhen before we flew off to Hong Kong for our next destination. It was crap when we reached Shenzhen because it was raining. I hate to travel in rainy day. Such a mess because I got wet all over.

Anyway, we managed to get ourselves to the hotel, put our luggages and went to windows of the world without further a-do because we wanted to catch the show at night. I watched the show few years back when I was in shenzhen but I couldn't recall whether it was at windows of the world or the cultural village so we tried our luck here.

Crap, wrong choice. No luck.

So we reached there at around 3pm after our lunch. Snapped a few pictures, bought the tickets and went in. Compared to Beijing and Shanghai, the crowds in Shenzhen were like 90% lesser. Most probably because of the end of their summer holiday. Big hooray for the bf and I cause we really dislike crowds.

Windows of the world - where you can see the mini building/structures representing each country here. So, we took picture of the fake eiffel tower.

the ancient egypt

this, don know where. cause i'm not interested in fake one

japan =.=

my fake rio de janeiro

and etc etc. The bf said he does not have to bring me to other countries anymore since I had basically BEEN THERE.

Bf, you kidding me?

Gloomy day 03/11

2011-11-03T12:42:00.001+08:00

I woke up to a gloomy day this morning. Thinking of how to go to my 2pm class later as it seems like it's going to rain.

Can't skip. If I skip I will be doomed.

Been a long night for me last night. Rushed for the bloody fyp which my lecturer changed my topic 2 days before the proposal submission deadline. GREAT. Managed to finish ahead of schedule though. Problem, fyp?

Then talked to the bf as usual before I slept. I wonder when this sucky long distance relationship gonna come to an end. I definitely don't want it LDR after I graduate again.

Eff distance. Just can't wait to get over with this. I see many couples in this ldr thing. Not all survive. Some are betrayed by their partner, causing the other half to have wasted their years of youth on this guy/woman. Some break up because they cannot compromise to each other needs.

One thing I realize, the one who has to compromise with thing such as work, place to settle down, and etc very often is the female.

While the guy thinks that it is nothing wrong with the girl to compromise because well, that's the norm, have those guys ever think of those sacrifices a woman has to make just to be with you? She has to leave everything behind and follow you everywhere you go.

While sometime all the gf needs are extra care, understandings, extra attentions from you, you find it bothersome.

I can go on and on whole day. But that's not the case. Just some thoughts since I got nothing to do waiting for the rain to cease.
For those who are waiting for some good show between me and my bf, screw you, we are good. This is just some random thoughts after few friendly chats with friends.

But still, relationship is a matter of give and take. Just that who is willing to be the giver, who be the taker.

23rd Birthday

2011-10-25T16:05:00.017+08:00

Hi bloggie, :)

My birthday this year was celebrated in an extraordinary way. No drinking, no alcohol, no big group of friends but in a different country, with loved and a super nice fine dining experience in Singapore best fine dining restaurant - Forlino Italian Restaurant.

I was super excited flying to Singapore on 14th morning despite the fact that I hate flying, but what made thing better was I was going to meet the bf after 3 hell of weeks in the university. Upon his arrival, we quickly went to the hotel, checked in, hunted for the infamous katung laksa (will blog about it soon) and went back hotel again to get ourselves ready for the night.

Forlino restaurant is situated at the heart of singapore, which is just right next to Fullerton hotel. Considering it is singapore's best restaurants, we had really high expectations on the food and service.

The view from Forlino was amazing. The waiters arranged us a window side seat which enabled us to overlook the fantabulous Singapore night view while enjoying our dinner. We had their degustation menu as suggested each. It was a 6 course dinner.

yours truly

As for the drinks, I had champagne myself and the boyfriend has margarita which was really niceeee! We were first served with apertura and their complimentary bread as starter. What was inside the apertura was actually super fine tuna with homemade sauce by the chef. It was really nice but too bad, such a small piece of it.

Next, for our second course, we were served with pan roasted goose liver with lambrusco wine and morello cherry which was definitely highlight of the night! Never thought goose liver could be this nice and now I understand why was it so expensive!

For our third course, we were served with black cod cappelletti with spicy broccoli and confit garlic which I never tasted something like this before. It was definitely nice and filling.

Our forth course was boston lobster with silican eggplant "caponata" which was really nice. The caponata itself was nicely made by the chef.

Our fifth course was wagyu beef check with 100% chocolate sauce and red wine sauce. This was the boyfriend most favorite I guess. I was feeling really full since the 4th course already. But oh my, how could I ever resist this?

After that, tadaaaaaaaaa :) my birthday cake with super nice decorations. AAAAWWWW. Super love the decorations on the cake and that guy beside me as well. :P

We were served with desserts as our last course together with one small piece of my birthday cake. It was superb! Our desserts consisted of small slice of my birthday cake, molten lava chocolate cake, mascarpone ice-cream and persimmon coulis!

Bf ordered this as well to go with his coffee, which I didn't really fancy.

It was a really great night with super good food. The total bill for our dinner came to SGD$420, which after conversion, lol, is quite pricey, but IT WAS WORTH IT. Looking forward to another fine dining experience in other lands again. :) :)

Thanks for the present, universal studio and everything, I'm officially 23rd!

Family and bf are always the best! :P

Celebration with friends

2011-10-12T01:20:00.001+08:00

With a little drama in between, all ends well. :)

I'm turning 23 in 2 days time. How's that? Time flies.

In the same time, thanks mum for bearing the pain and gave birth to me 23 years ago. Thanks dad for everything as well. Love you both.

And I have been count-downing to the day I really looking forward to since the day I came back Utp and it's gonna be really soon! Can't wait :D

Good night!

Margaret's Cafe e Nata, Macau

2011-10-07T11:23:00.011+08:00

MACAU WILL NEVER BE COMPLETED WITHOUT TASTING ITS FAMOUS EGGTARTS.

And the best place for it would be at Margaret's Cafe e Nata, Macau which you can find it easily by asking the locals there or just freaking use your google map! Initially when we were at macau, we did not know about this place at all. But then, the smell of this eggtarts permitting the place where we stayed every morning (yes, it was that near to where we stayed.)

The first morning we went there around 10.30am and ohemgee the long queue. Nevertheless, since we were there already we would be so losers to not even try it. And it was totally worth the queue except for the milk tea which I found out they just use lipton tea bag with creamer and tada milk tea wtf. HKD$10 for one milk tea ok and I bought two?

Hhmm. But then the eggtarts omgggg I should have bought more but I bought 4 as our brunch only. How stupid. The eggtart costs HKD$8 for one. Not really expensive and it was really nice. The outer layer was super crunchy like pastries and the inner part, heavenly delicious. I am not exaggerating but they really are delicious!

The people serving you might be slightly ruder than you expected but pardon them, they are really busy since the minute the open the shop and they have no time to really entertain you otherwise the queue gonna be a disaster.

A picture of us in front of the cafe. :P It's our breakfast for two days continuously and now, I'm missing it OH NO!

Uni 2.0

2011-09-26T17:56:00.006+08:00

I think I have by far accepted the bloody fact that I'm in this hellhole/shithole or whatever else you called it. Yea, I'm back in my university. >;(

No one loves being here except freaks. No one gets excited over it. I'm really getting annoyed being here - the sun, the heat, the food, the cafe and etc. I don't know why. I wanted to fill in details for my current room, but that fat fellow is never in her office! I even went to her room, knocked on the door for soooo long and there's no one at all.

WHY THE HECK ARE YOU SO LAZY?! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO GET TO YOUR OFFICE AND GO BACK WITH NOTHING AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!?

Pfff. See, that's why I'm pissed.

That is my side of the bed. Looks comfy but still my bed at home is the best. I miss home so much. Can you imagine being away from university for 9 freaking months and back to where you started again? Oh noooossss!

And this is my favorite corner. Mannnnn I'm counting down to the days ahahaha so happy to receive a good news from him today even though part of it is bad for him. (It's all your fault Aimran, if you are reading this! >:P)

And this was my tea break earlier. Prune cakes baked by my mum, all the way from Miri. So delicious. And I almost finish it already. Damn. what am I gonna eat after that? Cereals with biscuits, oats with milk ..... (sien)

Anyway, as the saying goes, learn to dance in the rain. Perhaps I should quit complaining and start enjoying uni life to bits? Wonder when can I do that. Crap.

>:(

Will blog about my hongkong, macau, shenzhen trip soon hopefully.

Uni

2011-09-26T13:27:00.002+08:00

Physically here, mentally and emotionally NOT.

I just dislike being here. Nuff said.

Family

2011-09-14T01:39:00.003+08:00

I really do feel blessed and couldn't thank God enough for blessing me with such wonderful and amazing family.

Always pray that every single of them will be healthy, happy and showered by God abundant blessings all the time.

Islands Hopping

2011-09-14T01:29:00.007+08:00

The first outdoor activities we ever have together in the other state would none other but island hopping which was fantastic!

We explored Sapi, Manukan and Manutik islands in Sabah. Few things worth remembering would be in the beach suits for the first time together with the bf ;) , first time holding hand exploring the underwater, first time being amazed by the power of nature created by the almighty God, first time this and that..

Will be flying to KK tomorrow for 2 nights before our flight to the shopping & food heaven - HongKong.

No islands hopping tomorrow since we did it not long ago but definitely miss it so muchhhh!

Kuching

2011-09-12T23:05:00.001+08:00

This is such an outdated post on my first ever Kuching trip with the sole purpose of meeting the bf family which he planned to surprise his family as well. Mannnn first time being introduced to the bf family, butterflies in stomach. :S God knows for how long I stood outside the gate with him and almost chickened out of going in because I was so nervous.

I flew alone to Kuching on that day. Bf was back few days earlier since he was having his off days.

Upon my arrival to Kuching, he quickly brought me to savor one of the best "cha kueh" in town which turned out to be really good be it the taste, the spiciness or simply because of my hunger. Kuching was not like Miri. When I was there, the road was so congested that a 5 minute driving distance journey could turn out to be near to an hour. Crappp! =.="

Speaking here, I do not understand why KL people so damn proud of their traffic jam in the city as if other cities do not experience jam like that. Annoying.

Back to topic, so this was the cha kueh which we had as brunch. ;)

yummmmm!

Since I was in Kuching, I did not miss the chance to try out their infamous kuching laksa as well. Too bad the most famous stall selling it was close that day. The laksa, which I must admit, was really good, anytime better than Miri overpriced Mdm Wee laksa.

Other than food, of course we went dating/shopping/movie or whatever as well. :P

Harloooo :3

I seized the chance to try out the belacan meehoon and abc one Sunday as well. I did not quite like the belacan meehoon for no reason. The taste was some sort of acquired taste which was just not my taste anyway. As for the abc, was not really a big fan of kuching abc though. Maybe because we went to the wrong place for the wrong things.

The fried yam, sweet potato and shrimps cake was really cheap in kuching selling at 60cent to 80 cent for one piece.

And my most favorite throughout this kuching trip would definitely be their kueh chap!!! Must try k anywhere in kuching because I forgottten where I had this in Kuching already haha.

p.s: I'm so distracted by Mayday songs currently. Keeps singing along.

Pangkor

2011-09-08T14:20:00.001+08:00

Last year, I went to Pangkor Island with a few close friends of mine before we all parted for the 9 months internship training.

In terms of companies, it was amazing. Cost wise, it was super cheap as I only spent RM100 for the whole Pangkor trip inclusive of transportation, accomodation, water activities and food.

However speaking of the island itself, oh gosh, please don't go there if you have any other option. The beach there, was so super dirty that basically you are soaked in the polluted, coffee-alike color water for hours just for the sake of water activities, which were ridiculously lame and dull as well. Sorry for all those who stay in Pangkor island but no offence, it's the truth.

There weren't any/very little caucasians when we were there. We went from one beach to another by foot and it was burning hot that time. I did not mind walking under the scorching hot sun for another beach but please let me feel the sunburnt and the walking is worthy at least? I felt being sunburnt unnecessary anyway. Am I complaining too much? No. Cause I'm seriously effing sick of bloggers who did not pen down the truth and kept saying every single shit nice. Enough of those nonsense.

Like what I said, companies wise was great. My friend who was residing in Pangkor managed to book us an apartment at a relatively cheap cost and hence the RM100 spent only. Spent the night drinking like mad which I swore to myself to quit drinking like a stupid biatch after that.

The hangover was just an excruciating pain in my ass. It was like someone been using a hammer to knock on my head zillion times. Oh crap!

the gang that I went with

So, I'm not gonna write down/intro any apartment there or how you should even get there because

PLEASE DON'T GO THERE!

why am i up at 2am?

2011-09-08T02:05:00.001+08:00

The reason for late night sleep: GAME!

FML and the sims social.

The LDR, will WE survive?

2011-09-06T01:31:00.003+08:00

For we are couples in Christ,

and hence We will!

Love could be this simple when you surrender everything to God.

Isn't God amazing?

Hello!

2011-09-06T01:11:00.007+08:00

I had been slacking a lot since I came back from KL last week, sending my sister off to London. Thanks to education! My siblings and I are being separated into 3 different continents in this world! While goodbye was always hard, we did enjoy ourselves in KL with all the good food, CROWDS and those no discount/sales shopping!

harrlllloooo :P

I have been flying to and fro KL this year so many times that I lost count. I have no problems with flying but what pissed me off every single time was those annoying kids who cried non-stop in the flight or aunties who talked like no tomorrow? Hello. I understand that kids were out of control but tony or whoever it is, you guys are so smart, why not a baby section in the flight?! And aunties, oh well.. what can I say. :S

Other than flying/traveling/whatever, most of the time I would be babysitting my aunt's precious daughter at home. She is sooooooooo adorable that I can just look and carry her whole day despite her current weighs now. And often, I get those maternity kicks into me even though I'm merely 22 years old. Why oh why do I love baby that much? All thanks to this cute little angel.

aaawww the adorable angel <3

And the best friend who is finally back from Kuching. One thing I learnt about friendship is friends come and go, only real one stay.

Those who go, I wish you all the worst for being a goner. And yea, I'm this mean.

btw, hello nv ren hehe.

又回到最初的起点
记忆中你青涩的脸
我们终於来到了这一天
桌垫下的老照片
无数回忆连结
今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约
又回到最初的起点
呆呆地站在镜子前
笨拙系上红色领带的结
将头发梳成大人模样
穿上一身帅气西装
等会儿见你一定比想像美
好想再回到那些年的时光
回到教室座位前后故意讨你温柔的骂
黑板上排列组合你舍得解开吗
谁与谁坐他又爱著她
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想拥抱你拥抱错过的勇气
曾经想征服全世界
到最后回首才发现
这世界滴滴点点全部都是你
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想告诉你告诉你我没有忘记
那天晚上满天星星
平行时空下的约定
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱著你
紧紧抱著你
又回到最初的起点
呆呆地站在镜子前
笨拙系上红色领带的结
将头发梳成大人模样
穿上一身帅气西装
等会儿见你一定比想像美
好想再回到那些年的时光

好想告诉你告诉你我没有忘记
那天晚上满天星星
平行时空下的约定
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱著你
紧紧抱著你

This reminded me of my secondary school life which when I gave a thought back, it was kind of interesting. With so much dramas revolving around me during the high school life, I actually felt lucky to have all of it. What I meant was the stage from friendship to be in a relationship and back to friendship and then relationship then eventually strangers or just internet friends. It was when youth started.

With this, i felt thankful for those who added colors to my dull high school life. I wish you good luck and will find your right one soon.

Shanghai

2011-08-25T18:29:00.003+08:00

Shanghai was all about food, food, food and foodddd! The historical sites are not as much as compared to Beijing, but the crowd, damnnnn, it was even more packed!

Other than Shanghai, Bf and I managed to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou as well. I personally preferred Shanghai much more than Beijing because it was more civilized, food was definitely better but in the same time everything also doubled the price in Beijing. Crappp! Not only food, the metro, the taxi fare and etc.

Took the domestic flight from Beijing to Shanghai. What can I say? Even though it was a mere 2 hours flight, the service was gooddd! I never expect them to serve us food as well even though it was just congee with a meat bun, preserved vege and yogurt. Ok, I mad love the yogurt anyway.

We stayed at lao xi men international youth hostel in shanghai which was fantastic and rocks my socks. It was my first time to ever stay in a hostel and it was totally different than what I imagine. There are computers provided for us to use downstairs, a TV, place to eat and almost all the guests there are youth. Feeling so cozy at least.

Went to ChengHuangMiao for our lunch after checking in. It was a 20 mins walking distance from our hostel but it was fun, maybe depends on who you walk there with. Kept snapping pictures all the way there and I just love how the buildings were being structured in Shanghai.

ChengHuangMiao was so packed with people where everything you have to queue to get it. The xiao long bao, the custard bun, the smelly tofu, starbucks, mcd, dairy queens etc. =.= Really queue till sien. Sometime just wish that the people can disappear all of sudden.

We tried the infamous nan xiang xiao long bao where they served the normal size and the big size one (drank with straw) which was overratedddddddd despite the super long queue and ratings from internet! Hereby, I would like to SCREW YOU FOOD BLOGGERS FOR SAYING EVERY SINGLE FOOD NICE WHEN THEY ARE NOT. SCREW YOUUUU! Bf and I were so scare that the straw will melt due to the heat and this bao was actually so thick-skinned that you wont feel like eating it.

Then we visited the bund shanghai which I personally think that it was the highlight of the trip. The bund was so amazingly beautiful and sophisticated especially at night. It was my second time there and I still love it. We paid RMB100 each to enjoy the ferry ride and overlooking the night view of shanghai.

And like what many others do, we did not miss out the yu garden as well.

And the shanghai expo even though what's left was china pavilion. It was soooo scorching hot that day I could literally get killed by the heat. We queue for half an hour to get in there and PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. It was great though, at least I could say "been there, done that."

We went to the Oriental Pearl Tower that night too and again overlooking the majestic shanghai night view.

Amazing, isn't it?

Then we went to Hangzhou to visit the xi hu, jiu xi and long jing chun. We strolled along jiu xi for almost 1 hour and it was niceee. The water was crystal clear and you can just fill your bottle with it and drink it!

@ xihu (:

Then that night, we took the high speed train back to shanghai and settled our dinner at wu jiang road where we savored the best shui jian bao we ever had! It was xiao yang jian bao and it was worth the wait!

@wu jiang road

xiao yang shui jian bao. yummmmm!

mushroom and chicken soup ramen @ noodle bar

Went to Suzhou as well. I'm so lazy to describe everything already so let the captions do.

@shi zhi ling

yours truly

suzhou's water village

Dinner time was always my favorite. We settled at lisboa restaurant this time and since it was our last time in Shanghai, we just ordered everything we felt nice. :P And these two were my favorites:

the grilled ge zi

and fried fish with noodles

We left nothing at lao xi men hostel but scribbles on the wall to remind them/us that we were there before. OMG I am missing that particular hostel. Kidding, my bed is still more comfortable.

And my lovely bf

credit to bf for this :P @ shanghai pudong airport

So couples went to shanghai happily and back to malaysia fatter, rounder, darker. But it was worth the trip. (:

Beijing

2011-08-21T16:52:00.002+08:00

in summer, is crappppp! It's so freaking hot that bf and I literally sweat like pigs every single day without fail. We spent 1 week in Beijing and another week in Shanghai, which every morning we woke up, feeling cold in the room thanks to air cond and the next minute when we were outside the room, we started to sweattttt! And my long hair just kind of stick to my neck everytime I sweat making me so utterly uncomfortable that I have to tie it up almost everyday even though I don't quite like it.

Albeit that crap weather, beijing was fun because:

I went there with my bf
Everything was cheap there (imagine divide it by 2.5)
The restaurants there served awesome food
The room we stayed in was comfortable to max
I watched Hell's kitchen & America Next Top Model on TV every night before I slept
Worth exploring

Few years ago I went to China during Winter. That time (2003) China was seriously the dirtiest city I ever encountered in my life. People just pooed at the drain visible to you and the public, toilet without doors and etc. But this time, the toilets improved hell lots but Beijing is still dirty in terms of air quality. They tops the world most polluted city and hence you can hardly see any cloud be it during day time, night time, sunny day, rainy day and etc.

So, bf and I conquered great wall of China the next day of our arrival in Beijing. We thought we could at least spent 2-3 hours walking there but NOOOOSSSSS, we were so wrong. The whole great wall of China was so packed with people because our trip coincided with china's school holiday and it's summer, caucasians love it during summer. We had to squeezed ourselves through just one slope and it took us almost 45 mins. Overlooking the crowd from the peak just made you feeling like giving up walking and just wanted to get back to the bus or wherever badly.

This was what I anticipated the most every time I went outdoor: the bed, the tv and the aircond. Sounds much like a loser I know but seriously Beijing is freaking hot. T___T

And this is what we could see from outside of our hotel, the cctv building which its architecture of it amazed me till now.

So the next day we headed off to the forbidden city which was as usual, sardined packed with tourists againnnnn and the heat wave. Pfffttttt! Anyway, it was a great place to actually experience the emperor's life in the past. What I can conclude from his life would be the eunuch around him definitely developed strong legs muscles considering the size of the forbidden city.

And being in Beijing, there was this food where everyone should not miss it - the infamous beijing kao ya (beijing roasted duck) which was awesome possum. We had it at trader's hotel instead of other place because it was nearer. Looking at this picture actually making me drooling for another bits of it.

After dinner, we headed off to wang fu jin food street by metro and walking. There were all sort of snacks selling there but bf and I had none cause we were scare shyt that those food will be sort of unhygienic after reading so much about it from the media. The stuffs there were really cheap though and were all at bargained price.

@ wang fu jin food street

taro pie at mcd!!!

Seriously this is my most favorite pie ever!!! The taro pie :P I had this for 3 days continuously and never feel sick of it. Too bad Msia mcd offers only apple pie. So lame. =.=

We also went to maozhetong's museum and became a modern emperor and empress there.

And not missing the olympic stadium out.

We had our dinner at ting tai fong again on our last night in beijing which this restaurants for us served the best xiao long bao you can ever find! Since I was a bit sick that night, bf ordered this chicken soup for me as well awwww how sweet of him :P

slurppppp

and the china's hutong

So much experience for this tripppp and love the guy to bits. I wonder if I will blog about my shanghai trip anyway considering my laziness. That's all for today. Byeeeee. For those who has yet been to china before, you MUST go but NOT during SUMMERRRRRRR!

Will be back tonight/tomorrow

2011-08-18T16:36:00.003+08:00

I just came back from a 2 weeks vacation with the bf and still have yet to get over the fatigue body, mind and soul. Will be back tonight or tomorrow once I sorted things out.

head-up: it was a super hotttt yet pleasant vacation!

I hope my bf never read this :P

2011-08-06T02:31:00.001+08:00

It happens all the time, without fail! :P

Penang

2011-08-05T02:35:00.002+08:00

You know you are in penang when you experienced malaysia top class reckless drivers here, and in the same time the best food you can ever find in malaysia! You call that penang, to the hail of food and i mad love penang hawkers' food!

penang baby!

The food hunting continued right here in penang after malacca where considering the amount of good food we gonna savor and several temples that we should visit to, we decided to stay here for 3 nights! Despite the fact that I travelled to penang almost every weekend without fail last year, sad to say that I did not really try on the hawker food much as my beloved cousin raymond knows the way to shopping malls, best restaurants in town but now hawker center.

=________________=

My number 1 most favorite would be the LO MEE in penang which is also ChuangHwee's favorite. We both love it to bits and I can seriously down 2 bowls or more but considering the amount of pork oil or whatever in this bowl of heavenly tasty sumptious mee, I have to give up the thoughts. Selling between RM4-RM5. A must try! For a head-up, the taste is more to acquired taste.

The FU JIAN MEE which is not as nice as loo mee but is still considered nice. LOL ok it doesn't rhythm. My roommate ordered this almost everywhere we went (I NOTICED) and well, it was good but LOO MEE is better.

The assam laksa. The downside of this trip would be I did not get to try the best assam laksa in penang which is somewhere near kek lok si temple. Do you know how sad it is? Not really very sad. (:P) The government actually forked out quite a sum for the owner to renovate his stalls/shop/or whatever considering its popularity among tourists! How G.E.N.E.R.O.U.S!

*breakfast at pulau tikus

Drum rolls to the Penang fried kueh tiaw! I personally do not really like fried stuffs a lot but this is YUMMMYYYYY! Price: RM3.50 for one. I'm not gonna tell you where you can get the best, please search for it yourself.

The infamous kueh chap stall in penang where you can find duck meat other than pork in the kueh chap. How unique?! And the taste, definitely thumbs up!

Kueh Chap

This picture is here specially for alex because he says he looks thin in this picture and I uploaded it here to make him happy. We went to hard rock hotel for a "tour" around and was greatly disappointed with penang beach. Never in my life I ever see beach in "kopi-o" color. Despite the color, I can still see people enjoying the water activities pretty much. Imagine them swallowing few mouth of sea water accidentally, OMG YUCKS!

Thats all, bye!

Ready to go?

2011-08-04T02:02:00.007+08:00

The night was spent with the bf in his office, with him doing his final touch-up on his work for the handover since he will be off from rotation for weeks and me figuring out the maps that we will need to use for our coming 2 weeks vacation.

The whole google mapping process may sound tedious but it is freaking fun I tell you. Be part of it and you will find the whole excitement and fun behind it. Since small I had been traveling around to different countries and places with my family and it had been joining tour most of the time except for Melbourne as my brother is practically staying there. I have never really experience the needs of searching the maps to go anywhere. I thought my first map searching experience will be when I tour around Europe with the family, but I am wrong! :P

So I foresee the coming vacation to be an exciting one despite the scotching hot weather as warned by the bf. I'm all ready with sunblock, umbrella I guess. The only consideration would be, should I get a lomo camera before going or no?

I may not be a good photographer, but a camera maniac, I definitely am one.

Dessert time!

2011-08-03T17:24:00.001+08:00

lalalalala if that makes me a loser, let me be.

Malacca

2011-08-02T18:47:00.009+08:00

I just came back from a food trip with uni friends yesterday. It was a hot yet satisfying, fat yet contented trip after all considering all the good food we savored from Muar to Malacca, Penang and KL. Before I went, I had this high expectations towards Malacca with turn out to be slightly disappointing from my first experience because:

the weather is killing me
jonker street is not as happening as compared to the weekends.
this sign "no photography" is annoying me to bits in every shop, even in the museum!

I was wondering, since malacca is one of malaysia most visited tourist state, why the no photography sign everywhere in the shops or museums? How am I gonna promote it/describe how nice to it to my friends and entice them to visit there?

So, in some of the shop, I can only take pictures quietly like a thief. When I was in the baba and nyonya museum, the lady even warned me and another caucasian lady to stop snapping pictures and reminded us there were cctv(s) around. What the hell?

Anyway, this is malacca, picture taken around noon time 12.30pm which at that moment, it was freaking hot and I was feeling so sticky that I almost ripped off all the clothes I was wearing.

The infamous overrated chicken rice balls which we had for lunch that day. I not quite understand the long queue and hoo haa over it anyway. Maybe like what most bloggers did, I should write it this way:

OMG IT WAS SO SUPER DELICIOUS I'M GONNA DIE!!!

No, this was overrated, seriously. Maybe I was being too fussy at that time. :P

The durian puff. This is absolutely nice except that the durian paste inside was not as concentrated as you thought it should be but whatever it is, this is awesome and anyone visiting malacca really has to try this!

Not forgetting the durian cendol which was so yummy. I was dreaded the smell and taste of durian but now, durian is like one of my most favorite all thanks to bf for keep saying/describing how nice it is. Oh well, doesn't matter the bad breath for a while.

slurp!

There are more pictures taken in malacca anyway which I have uploaded it in facebook. For those who has yet to visit malacca, please do go there soon especially during weekends! Jonker street is not as happening as it is during weekends I repeat.

Still here

2011-08-02T13:20:00.002+08:00

I just came back from 1 week of traveling in the west malaysia with few crazy people. Till I settle down, I will talk more about it. It was definitely an amazing one!

Mum!

2011-07-23T01:15:00.000+08:00

I was rampaging my wardrobe just now trying to figure out what to wear for my upcoming 1 week vacation with my crazy friends and another 2 week vacations with my lovely boyfriend. In fact, it was a 3 minute heat - I suddenly felt like taking out my clothes and played mix and match again at this hour (12.30a.m) until my mum opened the door and yelled at me,

MUST YOU PACK NOW? MUST YOU TRY YOUR CLOTHES NOW?! WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT IN THE AFTERNOON? WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT DURING DAYTIME SINCE YOU ARE SO FREE? SURE YOU SLEPT VERY LATE AGAIN LAST NIGHT, WHAT TIME DID YOU SLEEP?! I TOLD YOU TO SLEEP EARLYYYY (and yada yada yada..)...........

Oh my mama, why are you so cute?

有一种幸福叫成全

2011-07-23T01:11:00.002+08:00

那年，她十六岁，第一次喜欢上一个男生。他不算很高，斯斯文文的，但很喜欢踢足球，有着一把低沉的好嗓音，成绩很好，常是班上的第一名。虽然在当时，早恋已经不是什么大问题，女生追男生也不再是新闻，她更不是那种内向的女孩。但是她从来没有想过要向他表白，只是觉得，能一直这样远远地欣赏他，就很好了。那时，她常常为在路上碰到他，打声招呼高兴个半天，常常放学也不回去，而是上运动场一圈又一圈地慢跑，只为了看他踢球。她还学着叠幸运星，每天在那小纸条上写一句想对他说的话，叠成小幸运星，快乐地放在大瓶子里。

她常常看着他想，象他那样的男生，应该是会喜欢那种温柔体贴的吧，那种有着一把乌黑的长长直直的头发，有着一双水汪汪的大眼睛，开心的时候会抿嘴一笑的女孩。她的头发很乌黑，但只短短的到耳际边，她有一双大眼睛，但常常因为大笑而眯成一条缝。她常常照着镜子想. 如果有一天她成了那种女孩，他会不会喜欢上她。但想归想，她还是每个月都跑去发店把稍微长长一点的头发剪短到耳际边，还是一遇到好笑的事情就哈哈大笑起来，笑得眼睛眯成一条缝。

她十九岁，考上一所不算很好但也不差的大学。他正常发挥，考去了另外一所城市的重点大学。她坐着火车离开这个生她养她的小城时，浮上心头的是她点点滴滴与他的回忆。大学生活是以二十几天艰苦的军训生活拉开序幕的。晚上临睡前，其他女生都躲在被窝里偷偷打电话跟男友互诉相思之情，她好多次按完那几个熟悉的数字键，始终没有按下那个呼叫键。十九年来，第一次知道什么叫思念，原来，思念就一种可以让人莫名其妙地掉下眼泪的力量。

四年的大学生活不算太长，活泼可爱的她身边从来不缺乏追求者，但她却选择单身。好事者问起原因时，她总淡淡一笑，说∶"学业为重嘛。"她也确实在很努力地学习，只为了考他那所大学的研究生。四年来她的头发不断变长，她没有再剪短。一次旧同学聚会时，大家看到她时都眼前一亮，一把乌黑的长长直直的头发，水汪汪的大眼睛因恰到好处的眼影而更显光彩，白里透红的皮肤，时不时抿嘴一笑，都忍不出这是昔日的小活宝。他见到她时也不禁心神一动，但当时他的手正挽着另一个女子的纤纤细腰。她看着他身边那个比自己更温柔妩媚的女子，很好地掩饰了心里的一丝失落，只淡淡对他一笑，说，"好久不见了。"

她二十二岁，以第一名的成绩考上了他那所大学的研究生。他没有继续考研，进了一间外资企业，工作出色，年薪很快就达到了六位数。她继续过着单调甚至枯燥的学生生活，并且坚持单身。一次放假回家，一进门母亲就把她拉过一边，语重心长，"女儿啊，读书是好事。但女人始终是要嫁人生子的，这才是归宿啊。"她点了点头，进房间整理带回来的行李。先从箱子里拿出来的是一瓶满满的幸运星，摆在书架上。书架上一排幸运星的瓶子，都是满满的，刚好六瓶。

她二十五岁，凭着重点大学的硕士学历和优秀的成绩，很快就找到一份很好的工作，月薪上万。他这时已自己开公司，生意越做越大。第三间分公司开业的时候，他跟一个副市长的千金结婚了，双喜临门。她出席了那场盛大的婚礼，听到旁边的人说起新郎年青有为，一表人才，新娘家世显赫，留洋归来，貌美如花，真是一对璧人。她看着他春风得意的笑脸，心里竟也荡起一种幸福的感觉，莫名的感觉，仿佛他身边那个笑容如花的女子就是自己一样。

她二十六岁，嫁给了公司的一个同事，两个人从相识到结婚不到半年的时间，短到她都不知道两人是否恋爱过。他们的婚礼在她的极力要求下搞得很简单，只邀请了几个至亲好友。当晚她喝了很多酒，第一次喝那么多酒，没有醉，却吐得一塌糊涂。她在洗手间看着镜子里那张在水汽蒸，第一次有种想痛哭一场的冲动。但终于，她还是把妆补好后走出去继续扮演幸福新娘的角色。她的外套的衣袋里，有她早上仓促叠好的一颗幸运星，里面写着，"今天，我嫁作他人妇了。可是我知道，我爱的是你。"

她三十六岁，过着平静的小康生活。

一日在街上巧遇一旧同学，闲聊起他，竟得知他生意失败，沉重打击后终日流连酒吧，妻离子散。她在找了好几天后终于在一间小酒吧找到他。她没有骂他，只是递给他一本存折，那里面是她所有的积蓄，然后对他说，"我相信你可以重头再来的。"他打开存折，巨额的数字让他不可置信，那些所谓的亲朋好友在听到他说了"借钱"两个字就冷眼相向避而不见，她不过是一个快让他淡忘名字的老同学，却如此慷慨大方？她依旧淡淡一笑，说，"朋友不是应该互相帮助的吗。"当晚她的丈夫知道了后，一个重重的巴掌立刻甩了过来，大吼道∶"上百万一声不吭就全给了他，你是不是看上人家了！"她被那巴掌击倒在地，没流泪也没说话，更没有回答她丈夫的质问。虽然她从来没有向别人承认过她爱他，但她也决不会向别人否认她爱他。

她四十岁，那年他的公司已经成为同行业里最具竞争力的几间大公司之一。那晚他带着两百万和他的公司的百分之十股份转让书到她家。她的丈夫一边乐呵呵地说，"不必这么客气嘛，朋友之间互相帮助是应该的，"一边在股份转让书上签下名字。她没说什么，只说了句，"不如留下来吃顿饭。"他没有不答应的理由。饭菜端上来时，他惊讶地发现自己最爱吃的几样菜都有。但他抬头看到她一脸恬静地为丈夫儿子夹菜时，心里一下释然，觉得是自己想多了。临走的时候他从口袋里拿出一张请贴，笑笑说∶"希望你们到时都可以来。"她以为是他又有分公司开业，不以为意，接过随手放在沙发上。送走他转身回厨房洗碗的时候，突然听到她丈夫大声说，"人一有钱就风流这句话果然没错啊。看你这个旧同学，这么快又娶第二个了。"她的手一颤，被一个破碗的缺口划了一下，血一下子涌了出来，一滴接一滴不停往下滴。她看着那片泛着微红的水，突然想起十五年前那个笑容如花的女子那身婚纱，似乎就是这个颜色。

她五十五岁，一天突然在家里昏倒，被送去医院。一番检查后，医生脸色沉重，要把她丈夫叫到一边说话。她毕竟是个聪明的女人。叫住医生，她很认真地问，"我还可以活几天？"三个月，电影里的桥段用得多了，没想到真应了人生如戏这句话。执意不肯住院，她回到家里开始为自己准备后事。一个人活了大半辈子，要交代的事多着。收到消息的亲朋好友纷纷赶来见最后一面。他是最后一个。她躺在床上，已经开始神智不清，但一看到他手上那刻幸运星，立刻清醒了过来，似是回光返照。"这是给我的吗？"她指了指那颗幸运星，脸上竟露出一丝笑容。他连忙回答，"啊，是。是啊。这是我带来给你的。"真是无心插柳，这不过是他刚出机场时碰到那个为红十字筹款的小女孩送的，他当时急着来见她，接过来时都没看清是什么东西就赶着上车了，一路握着也不知觉。她接过那颗幸运星，紧握着放在胸前好一会不放。终于，她指了指旁边的桌子，那上面也放了一颗幸运星，那时她昨晚花了一个多小时才叠好的，缓缓对他说道∶"在我以前住的房子里，还有三十九罐幸运星。等我火化的时候，你把那些连同这两颗和我放在一起，好吗？"他还没来得及回答，她已经合上眼睛，一脸安详。

她火化那天，他按照她的遗愿把那些幸运星撒在她身上，三十九罐，不小心滚落一两颗在地也没人发现。他转身要走的时候，忽然发现地上还有两颗。拣起来，他想，算了，就当是留个纪念吧。

他七十岁。一天，他戴着老花眼镜在花园里看书时。四岁的小孙子突然拿着两张小纸条，兴冲冲地跑到他面前，嚷道，"爷爷，爷爷，教我识字。"他扶了扶眼镜，看清第一张小纸条上的字，"杰，你今天穿的那身蓝色球服很好看哦。还有，6这个号码我也很喜欢，呵呵。"他皱了皱眉，问孙子，"这两张小纸条你从哪里找来的？""这不是纸条啊，这是你放在书桌上那两颗小星星啊。我拆开它，就发现里面有字了哦！"他一愣，再去看那第二张小纸条，"杰，有一种幸福是有一个能让你不顾一切去爱他一辈子的人。"

"有一种幸福是有一个能让你不顾一切去爱他一辈子的人。"

他念着，念着，泪流满面。

Lazy Thursday

2011-07-22T00:58:00.003+08:00

This is what I do every single life after bidding goodbye to my working life as an internee! Lazing on the bed, surfing the net on the bed without bothering how scorching hot the laptop becomes judging from the duration I spent youtubing, online shopping and etc.

I even vow to myself that I'm gonna exercise regularly everyday, learn one dish at least each day, sharpen my photographing skill, but now? I'm giving all in to the internet.

This cycle just repeats everyday!

The day I went to Brunei

2011-07-11T19:09:00.002+08:00

Just for transformer 3 and sashimi.

Transformer 3 for me, definitely much better than transformer 1 and transformer 2. I like this story line better, I like the effect better and most importantly I freaking like the main actress in this movie- Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Rosie definitely looks better, dress better, speak better, acts better, way more elegant, sexier, hotter and whatever compared to Megan Fox. Not many people who second what I said about Rosie including my bf. But, she is definitely my idol from today onwards.

The first few second she appeared in the screen, I was so stunned by her beauty that all I did was keep shaking the bf and said: "she is so hot so pretty!!!!" My god. Believe it, I mad love all the clothes she wore in the movie even. I'm perfectly straight if some of you are wondering just I never see any woman as pretty as Rosie.

Anyway, screw you all who said megan fox is better.

How can anyone not falling in love with this girl?!! OMG. Don't come telling me Angelina Jolie is still hotter compare to her. One of the greatest thing victoria secret ever did other than making gorgeous lingerie would be choosing Rosie as one of the victoria secret's angels.

Putting that aside, finally bf and I caught a movie and went for nice sashimi in Brunei after planning for it for so long simply because whenever he is off from offshore or whatever rotation, I will either be occupied or not in Miri. When I'm free, he has to work on weekends and bla bla bla. So really thank God for this that we finally had a chance to ditch Miri lousy cinema and went all the way to Brunei just for that.

Roaming around Empire Hotel after movie since it is just beside. Brunei is an extremely boring place if you guys are wondering. It is probably the most boring country I ever know because there's no nice scenery around except for this hotel because it is freaking 6 stars. So, the attractions in brunei would most probably be: to catch a movie in Brunei - nice, the sashimi here - cheap and fresh, supa save - where you get to buy important junk food/stuffs. Other than that, boring.

Till then. I just wanted to express how much I admire/adore Rosie Hunington in this post. :P Bye.

美國 FBI 招工題目

2011-07-06T21:06:00.001+08:00

According to the article, less than 4 people can give more than 3 correct answers. I managed to guess correctly for Q1, Q4 and Q6 only. What about you?

Questions:

1ˋ企鵝肉

3ˋ水草
有個男孩跟他女友去河邊散步。突然他的女友掉進河裡了，那個男孩就急忙跳到水裡去找，可沒找到他的女友，他傷心的離開了這裡。過了幾年後，他故地重遊，這時看到有個老人在釣魚，可那老人釣上來的魚身上沒有水草，他就問那老人為什麼魚身上沒有沾到一點水草，那老人說：這河從沒有長過水草。說到這時，那男孩突然跳到水裡自殺了。為什麼？

4ˋ葬禮的故事
有母女三人，母親死了，姐妹倆去參加葬禮。妹妹在葬禮上遇見了一個很有型的男子，並對他一見傾心。但是葬禮後那個男子就不見了，妹妹怎麼找也找不到他。後來過了一個月，妹妹把姐姐殺了。為什麼？

5ˋ半根火柴
有一個人在沙漠中，頭朝下死了，身邊散落著幾個行李箱子，而這個人手裡緊抓著半個火柴。推理這個人是怎麼死的？

6）滿地木屑
馬戲團裡有兩個侏儒，瞎子侏儒比另一個侏儒矮。馬戲團只需要一個侏儒，馬戲團的侏儒當然是越矮越好了。兩個侏儒決定比誰的個子矮，個子高的就去自殺。可是，在約定比個子的前一天，瞎子侏儒，也就是那個矮的侏儒已經在家裡自殺死了。在他的家裡只發現木頭做的家具和滿地的木屑。他為什麼自殺？

7ˋ夜半敲門

Answers:

1）企鵝肉
答：男孩以前曾和女友一起去北極考察，因為沒東西吃，女孩把自己的肉一片片割給男孩吃，騙他說是企鵝肉，結果男孩活下來了，女孩就餓死了。多年後男孩吃到了真正的企鵝肉，終於明白當時女孩的苦心，傷心之下，自殺殉情。

答：男孩曾抓著女孩的頭髮，以為是水草，錯失了救女孩的機會，後悔莫及。

4）葬禮的故事
答：妹妹一直找不到那個型男子，想了很久，猜想或許只有在葬禮上才能看見他，於是殺死自己的姐姐，以期在姐姐的葬禮上能重遇該男子。

5）半根火柴

Kolo Mee

2011-07-06T18:54:00.005+08:00

I bet everyone knows I never down one bowl or even half a bowl of mee because I'm mad afraid of getting the fat contains. I have no idea who gives me the mindset that MEE is so fattening that I will just roll on the floor like a ball after eating it and mee hoon on the other hand, is not fattening.

In short, I can only watch people enjoying a bowl of kolo mee while me myself drooling all alone in the heart and act like I hate mee.

Out of frustration yesterday, the bf brought me to a cafe house nearby for supper. Ordered a bowl of kolo mee and a bowl of kueh chap. I can tell you, it's heaven!

Why on earth I been resisting myself from eating kolo mee when it is so freaking nice? Later my dad told me mee and mee hoon are equally fattening.

Damn. I will trade my bowl of mee hoon next time for mee.

kolo mee

kueh chap

AND NOW I'M CRAVING FOR PEANUT BUTTER, CRAP.

*very long yet touching article. sob*

as usual someone please get limyewchen to sit in front of his pc and read it,thanks!

一對小夫妻離婚後的三十天生活 (看到最後竟然哭)
她是我大學同學，我們談了三年戀愛，在一起又過了三年。
只是有一個問題，離婚之後，在她還沒找到新住所之前，我們還得住一起。
自己想想都覺得搞笑，談戀愛的時候，我們特純潔，雖然彼此之間不止於牽手擁抱，但是同居這樣的事情，壓根沒敢嘗試過。沒想到現在離婚了，倒趕了趟新潮。
一室一廳的房子，兩個不再是夫妻的男女住在一起，特別別扭。

第一個晚上，我拿了一套臥具鋪在沙發上。
第一夜，睡得真舒坦！沒有人在耳邊嘮叨的夜晚，真美！只是，如果我們家的沙發是布沙發就好了，這個木頭沙發讓我在清晨醒來的時候，脖子有點酸。
到了洗手間的門口，聽見里面有嘩啦啦的水聲。這個臭女人，不知道從什麽時候養成的壞習慣，晚上睡覺前洗澡，早上起床後還要洗澡。算了算了，反正也已經習慣了。我順手拉門就進去。我剛掀起馬桶準備方便，沒想到她竟然“哇”地一聲狂叫了起來。
大清早的，也不至於見鬼了啊，叫什麽叫？嚇得我尿都憋了回去。“你沒見我在洗澡嗎？你是不是男人啊？有男人在女人洗澡的時候進來解手的嗎？”她掀開浴簾，一只手用浴巾裹著身體，一只手指著我的鼻子就開始訓斥。
“你叫什麽叫啊？咱們之間不是還隔著浴簾嗎？我能看到你什麽啊？又不是第一次你洗澡的時候我進來解手，至於這麽誇張嗎？再說了，就你那身體，我都看了三年了，閉上眼睛都知道是什麽樣子了，值得我偷窺嗎？”
“你……”她氣得說不出話來。裹著浴巾就跑出浴室，就聽到臥室的門“砰”的一聲。
潑婦！就你這臭脾氣，看以後還有誰敢要你！
解完手，我去臥室，我今天上班要穿的衣服還掛在櫥子里呢。這死女人，竟然將臥室的門給鎖上了。我敲了半天門，里面總算回了一句，我在穿衣服！
算了，反正離婚了，讓讓她吧。
半小時後她才出來，倒是衣著光鮮唇紅膚白。可惜，她臨出門時狠狠瞪了我一眼，破壞了她的形象。因為這半小時，我上班第一次遲到。

下班後，我在大街上胡亂溜達著消磨時間，雖然無聊，但是總比看她那張臉要好。就這樣呆到九點，我在街角吃了碗面，回家。
我進家門，她老人家竟然在客廳里坐著。看見我進來，臉上竟然還帶著微笑。我遲疑地在她面前坐下，天！她竟然給我沏了一杯茶。
她葫蘆里賣什麽藥？我想到了一個詞：笑里藏刀。
“今天呢，我仔細想了一下，咱們現在不是夫妻了，雖然我現在是借你的房子住一個月，但是我想，為了避免這一個月出現不必要的尷尬和誤會，我們還是約法三章比較好。”
說著，她溫柔地拿起一張紙在我面前晃了晃。“你看看，要是沒什麽意見，那麽就簽一個字，咱們一人一份。”
我拿起紙看了看。

第一條：………

在一方使用洗手間的時候，另一方不得以任何借口進入；
第二條，一方不得以任何借口接觸對方的身體；
……
我數了數，大小竟然有二十六條之多。
“沒意見，那麽就請簽字。”她竟然連鋼筆都準備好了。

我本來想沖她發火的，但是想想也沒必要。反正最多也就一個月的時間，忍忍也就過去了。我冷眼看了看她，拿起鋼筆就揮下我的大名。
“對了，作為你簽字的回報，在我們共同生活的期間，我還繼續給你做飯吃。”
有了這個條約，這日子可就真拘束。剛開始那幾天，感覺做什麽都被束縛著。並且，我還繼續在外面晃悠著找地方吃飯。哼，以為做飯給我吃，我就會感恩？美去吧你！
我一個月不吃你的飯，看我會不會餓死！唉，話是這麽說，只是每次晃悠著的時候，聞到別人家的飯菜香，心里也還是十分羨慕。

一個星期相安無事。

一天我進門的時候，她剛好準備出去。
“出去？”我裝著隨口問了聲，其實我不喜歡她這麽晚出去還噴了香水。“是啊，阿鈴說今晚介紹一個朋友給我認識。你看看我今天剛買的衣服，還不錯吧？”她站在鏡子前仔細端詳著自己。
“是啊，是不錯，釣傻帽最適合了。”傻子都聽出我說的不是好話。
“你！”她的臉上又開始浮現厭惡我的表情了。只是，轉而她又假惺惺地淺笑盈盈。
“是啊，反正我現在是單身了，就算是釣傻帽，我也有這個權利啊，總會有珍惜我的人出現的。你也老大不小了，也該考慮考慮自己的幸福了。”她怒目瞪了我一眼。
“那我祝你今晚吊到一個大傻子！要是人家送你一個別墅，也借咱住兩天。”“喲，說話怎麽這麽酸啊？你不會是看我出去吃醋吧？”她哈哈笑了起來。
“走吧走吧，別站那礙我的眼！”我隨手就給她拉開了門。她斜著眼睛瞧著我，走了出去。出門的時候，還對我“哼”了一下。我“砰”地關上了門。
沒有礙眼的人在了，我開始上網找妹妹聊天。前天我從購買了一套媲西伊遮斯，那個東東專門防止屏幕監控、鍵盤鼠標記錄，防止聊天記錄被偷看等，有了那個東東安心多了。上網總算沒有人管了，呵呵。
只是心里怎麽這麽煩呢？難道我真吃醋了嗎？哈哈，我開始笑我自己，怎麽這麽胡想？可是我主動提出離婚的啊！

大概過了兩個小時，她就回來了。而且，在我面前走過的時候，我看到了她臉色很差。她直接回臥室睡覺了，竟然連澡都沒出來洗。
她心情不好地回來，我竟然心情好了。嘿嘿，活該你出去，我也樂顛顛地睡下來。
半夜，我被她的一聲尖叫嚇醒。剛想起來看看什麽情況，就見她穿著睡衣沖了出來，跳到沙發上摟著我的脖子直發抖。“怎麽了？”我拍拍她的背問。“蟑螂……”她一說這兩個字我就明白了。
這個女人雖然對我很兇悍，但是天生害怕小動物，什麽蟑螂、老鼠、貓、狗等等，每出現一次她都尖叫半天，害我一直想弄一個小狗回來養養都不成。
“乖，別怕。”我像往常一樣安慰她，進房間給她消滅去。房間里四下找了半天，沒發現蟑螂的影子，只得回來。
我一坐上沙發，她又將我的脖子摟住。“打死了嗎？”她臉上被嚇出眼淚，不過在夜晚黯淡的光線下，卻有梨花帶雨一枝春的感覺。“好了，被我打死了。別怕，你回去睡覺吧，明天大家都上班呢。”
我騙了她。因為我知道我不說打死而說沒找到的話，肯定會被她逼著再找下去。那麽我的覺也算是不要指望睡了。“我害怕，我不回去睡。”
“你忘記我們離婚了。而且，你也破壞了我們的約法三章中的第二條。你首先接觸我的身體了。”我語氣冷淡，哼，叫你晚上出去釣傻子，看到蟑螂才想起我。
她聽到我這話，呆了一下，咬著嘴唇說了聲“對不起”後，跑回了房間。又是“砰”地一聲關門聲。

我呆坐半晌，突然給自己一個大嘴巴。
我睡在沙發上，但是一點困意都沒有。隱約中，房間里傳來她哭泣的聲音。進去還是不進去？我有點猶豫，我又給自己一個大嘴巴，是男人就進去！
我打開房間的門，看到她伏在被子里哭。我坐到床邊，拉開被子，輕聲地問她怎麽了？說實話，我看到她滿臉的淚水，心里真是好心疼。
“你進來做什麽？我們不是離婚了嗎？我不希罕你來關心我！給我出去，出去！”她沖我歇斯底里地叫，拿起枕頭砸我。“對不起，剛才是我說錯話了，原諒我好嗎？”
我不管她到底是因為什麽，我還是堅持將她抱在懷里，輕輕吻她臉上的淚。她不再對我咆哮了，用力抱著我的脖子，開始沒完沒了地哭。
終於，她一邊哭一邊說今晚因為什麽而不開心了。原來，她那個破姐妹阿鈴給她介紹的人竟然是一個臺灣老頭子，坐下來沒多久就開始動手動腳。阿鈴竟然還勸她，反正你是離過婚的人了，將就著跟了這個老頭子算了。
“我離婚了，是不是就比別人矮一截？我們為什麽要離婚？”她一邊哭著問我，一邊掐著我的脖子。
我沒有辦法回答她的問題，因為我自己也不知道答案。雖然脖子被她掐得好痛，但是掐就掐吧，反正又掐不死我，以後不住一起了，想被她掐都沒機會了。
終於我們都累了，彼此沈沈睡去。

醒來的時候，太陽已經出來了。我還抱著她，她還摟著我的脖子。
我不敢動，怕自己驚了她的夢，好像已經很多年沒有這樣的感覺了。兩個人在一起時間越久，清晨醒來就越沒有感覺。
想想從前的日子，我們幾乎都是在匆忙中醒來，一邊彼此抱怨著對方，一邊收拾東西趕著上班。我們之間，為什麽會走到今天這一步？到底因為什麽？
她也醒了。
醒來後，她忽然意識到什麽，松開了抱我脖子的手，臉上有一抹羞澀，“早！”
我也慌忙松開抱她的手，趕忙下床。
“昨夜……”
“昨夜沒什麽，快起來洗漱吧，要不上班快遲到了。”
有了這一晚之後，我感覺我們的關系也發生了微妙的變化。下班的時候，我在路邊看到有賣海棠糕的，想起這是她家鄉的特產，隨手就買了點。只是買完之後，我不知道自己是現在就回家，還是像從前一樣晃悠著消磨時間。
“先生啊，這個東西新鮮的時候最好吃，時間長了，就不好吃了。”找錢時，小販特地關照我。

我硬著頭皮回到了家，她在做飯。
“嗯……嗯，我給你買了海棠糕。下班時候，剛好看到的。”我對著在廚房里忙碌的她支支吾吾地解釋著。
她很開心地走了出來，拿起一塊就吃了起來。“去洗手吧，飯菜都好了。”
面對桌子上的飯菜，我心里酸酸的。
數數日子，我在外面混飯吃已經有二十多天了。她做的菜，真香。
“吃吧。”
我拿起了碗筷。
……
“慢慢吃，別噎著。來，喝碗湯。”她給我盛了一碗湯。
“這個菜挺新鮮的，吃一塊。”她給我夾了一筷子。
“你最近瘦得很厲害，以後別在外面吃了，又貴又沒營養，還是回家來吃吧。”
……
吃完了飯，我搶著收拾。
“算了，結婚這麽久了，也沒見你收拾過，還是我來吧。”
“我……”
“沒事，我也收拾習慣了。你去看電視吧，我一會就收拾好了。”
我給自己沏了一杯茶，又給她沏了一杯。
她洗刷完畢，在我身邊坐了下來。我趕緊將沏好的水端了過去。
“你想看什麽節目？”我拿著遙控器問她。
“你今天怎麽這麽客氣啊？客氣得我都不習慣了。”她咯咯地笑了起來。
我不好意思地摸摸我的頭。“我以前，很壞嗎？”
“壞？沒人說你壞啊，只是你比較懶罷了。現在咱們都離婚了，你卻忘了自己的衣服要自己洗。你也不想想，每天的幹凈衣服，是誰給你洗的？以後，自己要學會照顧自己啊！”
“離婚……是的，我們離婚了。”我默然不再言語。
她也陷入沈默。

那晚，我們坐在一起看了三個小時的電視，沒有說話，沒有換臺，只是我不記得自己看了什麽。
三十天的時間很快就到了。這天，她吃完飯告訴我，她已經找好房子，等星期天就可以搬家了。我的心立即變得很空很空。
星期六很快就來了，我坐在沙發上看她來來去去地收拾東西。
屋內顯得很亂，但感覺空氣是靜止的。我們都沒有說話。她會留下什麽？我心里突然很想知道。但是，我沒問。
“你慢慢收拾，我出去走走。”沒等她回答，我就走出了門。

屋外的天空很藍，多像三年前放風箏的那天啊。屋外的陽光很輕，三年前是否同樣溫暖過我們呢？屋外的情侶很多，我們也這樣甜蜜地走過三年……
“媽媽，叔叔在哭。”身邊的一個小孩子叫了起來。
我擦了擦眼睛，勉強一個笑容出來，“叔叔是被沙子迷進眼了。”
我對自己笑了笑，找了一個方向隨便走了下去。
一直到傍晚，我還在外面閑逛。
手機響了，是她的短信：“飯菜已做好，我們最後吃一次飯吧。”
我馬上跑回家里。

房間里沒有開燈。她在餐桌上點了蠟燭，菜很豐盛，還有一瓶紅酒。
她穿的是結婚時我給她買的一條黑色蕾絲裙子。
“我們結婚三年了，都沒在一起喝過酒。過了今晚我就走了，我們喝一次好嗎？”她一邊給我倒酒一邊說。“幹。”我舉起了杯子。
我們沒有再多說什麽，還能說什麽呢？再多的話都改變不了明天的結局。算了，不要去想了，喝酒吃菜。最好是喝醉了，等我醒來的時候，她已經離開了。她離開，不是我一直期望的嗎？我不是一直討厭這個啰嗦的臭女人嗎？我應該高興啊！
以後看球賽不管多晚都不會有人在我身邊訓斥我，叫我去睡覺了，多爽啊！我不洗腳就上床也沒有人嫌我臟了，多美啊！我沒有理由不開心啊！只是，為什麽這酒喝在嘴里是苦澀的？

“你的衣服我都整理好放在櫥子里了，內衣和襪子在床下面抽屜里，你的胃不好，以後要是一定要熬夜，記得給自己搞點東西吃。冰箱里我買了一些食品，你自己要慢慢學會做飯，不要總在外面吃。吃飯也要註意營養，別總是湊合。咱們的存折我放在床頭櫃里了，上面還有三萬多塊錢。咱們家每個月的電話費、煤氣、水電費都在街角的銀行交，就是這個卡，你收好，別到時候找不到。

這個月給你父母匯的錢我也已經匯出去了，以後你要記得按時給他們匯錢，沒事多打電話回家，爸媽都挺惦記你的。我今天給他們打了電話了，爸說手機壞了，我在還特好商城幫他買了新的手機快遞回去了。爸爸最近腿上的風濕有點厲害，上次我們給他買的藥恐怕快吃完了，這個是藥名和地址，你明天記得買一些也快遞回去。
我沒告訴他們我們已經離婚了，你以後有機會想好了再和他們說。不管你爸爸說你什麽，記得不要讓他生氣。這是我給爸媽買的毛衣，你明天一起遞回去吧。”
她在一樣一樣地交待著，我希望我自己每件都能記得，但是又希望我什麽都不要記得。我突然感覺自己很白癡。我在這個家里生活了三年，但是現在我卻感到非常陌生。我開始害怕，我不知道我一個人是否有能力生活下去。

“這是咱們結婚的時候，媽給我的戒指。這個是你們傳家的東西，我不帶走了，請向媽媽說句對不起。”一枚碧綠色的翡翠戒指放在我的面前，它的光好強，讓我的眼睛開始刺痛。“我帶走的東西是按照我們離婚時候協商好的。”
她站了起來，四下看了看，笑了笑說，“你有什麽不明白的要問嗎？”
我還有什麽不明白的要問呢？我什麽都不知道，我只知道在我最想她留下來的時候，她卻要走了。她一直說我不像個男人，我一直覺得這是她對我的侮辱。我現在終於明白，我的確不是一個男人，我像一個孩子一樣肆意揮霍著她給我的幸福和安定。
“要是你沒有事情要問的話，我們休息吧。今晚你睡房間我睡沙發。明天一早搬家公司的人就來搬家了，我在這多住了一個月，夠麻煩你了，明早你在房間里睡，可以少打攪點。”

我不知道自己到底該怎麽做，只是木然地對她點了點頭，走進了房間，關上了門。
我看了一夜的天花板。
清晨的陽光照了進來。
我聽到敲門聲，我聽到搬東西聲，我聽到她叫工人“輕點”。只是，我聽不到自己的心跳聲。
她敲了敲門，我沒動。
“我走了，以後自己照顧自己。”她沒有進來，隔著門聲音低低地說。

我聽到了關門聲。
我沒有再聽到任何聲音。
為什麽我們要離婚？為什麽我們要離婚？
“有空記得回來玩啊！”我聽到鄰居的聲音

你還是不是男人？一個聲音在我心里對我吼。

你是男人，你現在去追她回來，還來得及！
我翻身下床，跑到窗邊對著下面喊道：“等一下，先別走！”
我沖下了樓，我要做一個男人！
她站在車邊，微笑地看著我，半晌輕輕地說：“謝謝你下來送我。”她的眼角有淚。
“你走了，我怎麽辦？”我抓住她的胳膊問她。
“我們已經離婚了。”
“我現在不要你走，我不能沒有你。”我對著自己吼，對著她苦苦哀求。
“離婚是你提的。”
“我知道自己錯了，求你原諒我一次，好不好？我求你了！”
“你是男人，怎麽可以在這麽多人面前哭？”她用手給我擦眼淚，她的手指好冷。
“只要你回來，我不要做男人！”
“我們在一起前後六年了，結婚後你就沒再關心過我，沒問過我要什麽，沒問過我想什麽。我對你說話，你覺得嘮叨；我要你安心家庭，你說我生活沒有情趣。你知道嗎？我和你生活三年，我也很累。我是愛你，但是你知道嗎，這份愛我維持得好辛苦！”
“對不起，再給我一次機會，讓我們重新來過，好不好？我錯過了很多，我不想再繼續錯下去。你是愛我的，愛我就不要走，好不好？”我心里好痛，為什麽到最後我才說出這樣的話？

“我們離婚了。你要我回來，除非你現在再次向我求婚。”她的臉上有一種奇異的神情。
“好，我求婚。我求你再次嫁給我！”我單腿跪下，向她第二次求婚。
“求婚要有玫瑰，要有戒指，你有嗎？”
玫瑰！戒指！天啊，我現在到哪里找？
“我們家二丫頭昨晚剛收到一束玫瑰，傻小子你快去拿。”鄰居大爺沖我直叫。我又想起那個家傳的翡翠戒指！
我沖上了樓，闖進鄰居家，拿了那束玫瑰就出來。我回到自己的家，可是我卻怎麽也找不到那枚翡翠戒指！
為什麽？為什麽上天要如此刁難我？戒指，你到底在哪里？
我在慌忙地四處翻找，她上了樓。在她的身後，跟著一大幫看熱鬧的鄰居。
我一把抓住了她，將玫瑰塞進她的懷里，“我找不到戒指，求你先答應我好不好？”
她噗哧一聲笑了出來，從包里拿出一個黑色的絲絨盒子。慢慢打開，一枚閃爍溫潤光亮的翡翠戒指端立在那里。
“對不起，我好像多拿走一樣東西。”她撲到我的懷抱里笑了起來。

得不到的永遠是最美好的
可是,
親愛的,
如果得到,擁有
會知足嗎?
做好手中事
珍惜眼前人!

Workout!!

2011-06-20T22:08:00.004+08:00

It's either the toned, fabulous body or those with flabby arms and spare tyre! Many days ago fter staring at SNSD's yuri's abs for a continuous 3 days, I decided that it is time for me to start building some abs muscles which among my friends, none are targeting that so far. Abs muscles on girls are so sexy for me that, I can't help it but to exercise everyday after work hoping to get the perfect abs (which is difficult and near to impossible to me i think :( )

this body is like so perfect!!

However, seeing all those pictures of fit girls in different attire is so motivating that whenever I feel like giving up, I look back at those pictures and often question myself: what is the reason of you started all this at the first place? And then, pushing myself to the extreme and the muscle pains after that was so satisfying. Nonetheless, the first step is always the most difficult.

The were times when I just felt like sleeping the minute I got back home after work. Hence, determination is important. But there is one thing which I fail to resist every time I pass by.

Thank you Starbucks. You are the reason of my failed abs. Nevertheless, I still love you.

S or No S?

I DON'T GIVE AN EFF ANYMORE! SO F IT!

Can't Help NOT To Worry

2011-06-19T10:49:00.003+08:00

This is meant for me to vent out my anxiety towards my soon-to-be final presentation to the HR staffs in shell. Well, it's a matter of employment or not for me; something which I can't help not to worry for since the first day I entered Shell.

My supervisor and colleagues are undeniably great people who will lend you a hand when you are tangled in difficulties, helpless situations and some crap moments you might have with other people. But, what's driving me crazy is they expect me to know something clearly which at some time, I might not know.

And working with caucasians, there's always the risk that they will compare you with the Europeans/American back in their country, forgetting that we are those typical Asians. For Asians, we are shy and we don't talk much crap when on the phone. On fine example I came across would be when I visited BSP with Andy from the state.

Usually, when the Asians make a phone call, we always start with a simple hello and straight into the point without beating around the bush. But, for the caucasians, they will go like "hey, how have you been doing? How's your wife Marie?......" and they go on with some spice of their life for like 5 mins then only they go into the purpose of their calls and stuffs. In this case, they will either said the Asians have no manner or shy or not proactive.

Or in some other case, when you are at work, the best thing would be do not let your bosses catch you chit-chatting with friends at the corridor. This is one common thing where all Asians avoid pretty hard. Let the boss see that they are digging into their works passionately and not letting them having the chance of catch them bullshiting at the corridor. But, if your boss is caucasian, you might have to do it the other way round. Need I say more? Because for them it is like "wow, you are having some serious discussion with the engineers..." and etc etc.

To sum it up, I might be too general or stereotype in this. But what I want to say is, it is difficult to please everyone in the same cubicle. Some expect you to be like this, some expect you to be different than that.

My message to whom it may concern would be: You have secured a job in Shell. Now, it's my turn to get my best shoot. If I fail this time, I will be hindered from applying shell for the next 2 years which is a big thing I tell you. So, please. You know seeking for employment nowadays is difficult and please don't screw with me. Be a good Samaritan, let me pass otherwise I will just hope that Karma will hit you back soon.

Yes I know this sounds desperate but who won't be at this point? Go die if you are not.

Around Malaysia, Well, Mid Valley to be exact

2011-06-17T23:16:00.012+08:00

Before I start with this long-winded entry that I foresee, I would have to state that my boyfriend maybe been to so many places eg. holland, switzerland, amsterdam, paris, vatican city, dublin, taiwan and so forth, he is definitely a loser when it comes to KL. Ironic isn't it? KL is my place, my shopping heaven, food heaven just that too bad I don't stay there. What a turn off.

We stayed in KL for a mere 2 days 1 night at cititel, midvalley for the sake of nice food and my shoppings. Shopping! I'm kinda sick of online shopping for no reason. Catching an early morning flight has always been a pain in my ass, what's more it was pouring heavily in Miri that morning when we were leaving to the airport. The check-in was unpleasant as usual. To make things better, we bought some sandwiches from starbucks so that we could just shut up and eat and not whining over the long queue.

This trip was all about eating. Before we departed to KL, I had sandwiches. Upon arrival to the hotel for check-in, we already finished one big pack of lays potato chips because it was too yummy. Once we checked in, I grabbed his hands and raced to Sushi Zanmai for sashimi and my sukiyaki which I had been craving for ages. Man, I felt so alive the minute I stepped into Zanmai.

cheese baked oyster which I fancied much!

sashimiiiii

oh my sukiyaki

We then walked around mid valley endlessly, ended up with two big bags of clothes from topshop and one from nichii, which made me pretty happy because I used to be a shopaholic and am still is. Since it was our month-sary or whatever you called it that day, we decided to dine at italiannies which served best pasta, and pizza ever. Instead of pizza, we opted for lamb shank which was really delicious and alluring.

lamb shank

My greatest achievement throughout this trip would be managed to drag him to the cinema for kungfu panda2 which I have been dying to watch. The story of the success behind was simply i bought and printed the tickets 2 days earlier and left him no choice unless he didn't mind RM31 to be in drain. The downside would be he actually fell asleep half way the movie. =_=

To sum it up, this is an unorganized entry which I just wanted to write something while waiting for that guy to get his shower done so that he can whatsapp me good night and i can sleep after that. Now that he is done, I'm gonna end this entry with a picture of us and good night! More proper updates tomorrow. Bye!

aaawwwww :)

7a.m.

2011-06-14T08:16:00.004+08:00

I dreaded waking up as early as 7a.m. every of my weekdays for the work (internship). I checked in onto my bed at 11p.m. sometime but the fact that I only fall asleep after 12 midnight remains there.

My seniors who are employed and working their asses off been telling me that it's time to face the reality. But mind you, I have another year to go before I face this wake-up-at-7am-and-go-to-work reality.

I hope you enjoy yours now because the only reason I'm looking forward to the end of internship is I do not have to wake up early every single morning anymore! I am not an early person.
