The long awaited



Firstly, need to show you all the apartment that has been home for the past two weeks. It is a comfortable place to be at although there is no washing machine, microwave oven, or a toaster. But we survived somehow. With handwash laundry, freshly-cooked meals, and egg sandwiches.

Marina Court Resort Apartment


I didnt took the pics of all the food that we cooked at home... But... we did cook herbal chicken soup for dinner. And we didnt have rice for our dinners so we just eat the veggie and soup. And we went to the fish market to buy the crabs and prawns for lunch. I remember that we had a really hard time cracking the crabs' pinchers due to lack of proper equipment. Anyway... it was good fun. Hehe...
The overcooked chix drumstick and the before and after of the crabs and prawns


I realised my laziness to describe everything in an interesting way

The mood spoiler is when the laptop screen was destroyed by my fall. Looking at it makes me so depressed le.


Ohye... Another highlight of our trip is the trips to Starbucks, San Francisco Coffee and Secret Recipe. We sat down to enjoy a good cup of coffee and a piece of cake. I didnt realised I am so hooked to it that I actually went to SanFrancisco and Coffee Bean for two nights in a row as soon as I arrived in Miri.


The last few days at KK, we didnt do much cooking and instead we eat out. I just love to have McD Big Breakfast. It reminds me of the time Lynnx and I have Kiwi Big Breakfast at Auckland Airport. A little far-fetched but it is true, I really feel like that. Also got to eat Kenny Rogers's roasted chicken as seen in pic no. 1 in the collage below. But it isnt as tasty as I remember. Maybe because I have eaten so much other tastier food. :P Pic no. 2 is the weirdest kebab I ever devoured. I felt so funny after that. The middle pic in the collage is the blackpepper chicken I had in Secret Recipe. Suffering from tiredness after a day out in the islands, this plate of black pepper chicken is great though a little too spicy. The final night in KK, we treated ourselves to plates of cheap seafood at the restuarant recommended by the locals. Not bad I must say. The final pic is Secret Recipe's Tom Yam Spaghetti which I strongly recommend. Really nice... Yum~~!


Oh... I mentioned about going to Tanjung Aru on Sunday evening. We spent the whole Sunday in the apartment before going out to Tanjung Aru beach. I thought the place is going to be very big and bursting with people. Err..It is smaller than what I imagined but the amount of people is what I thought it should be. The beach view is amazing. We had a really simple but fulfilling dinner. The chicken wings are so scrumptious. I wish I had more. Not forgetting, the huge glass of Dragon Fruit Juice I ordered. It is a two-person portion but I drank it all up. Burp~~! Haha... After the meal, we walked around and had a stroll in the poorly-lit garden. It wasnt a bad Sunday evening. :P


The most expensive meal we had is the International Buffet at Promenade Hotel. RM50 pax. I am not sure why but we ate till we are full and we stopped. And I think the portion we all ate is not even worth RM50. Not worth it at all.


On the final Sunday, we went to the Sapi and Manukan Islands. Thanks to Kelvin's friend, we get free transportation to the Shangrila Resort's jetty. We went to Sapi Island first. I recalled coming to this island long ago but didnt do much thing when I was here last time.
This time, I tried snorkelling. I had a really hard time getting used to the idea 'cause I have no idea how to navigate myself in the water using life jacket. Plus I dunno how to swim and I think I panicked for a few times. After a few attempts, I finally get the trick of the trade. I didnt swim out very far because I was afraid that I might not be able to swim back later. If there is any chance of going back there, I will definitely go snorkelling again and attempt the deeper waters.
When Kelvin, Thomas and Kelvin's friends decided to play Banana Boat, Laura, Chinos and I went out to the sea with them to have a look. Regretted it so much. The sun is killing me and I was so sure that I will get sun burn if the ride last any longer. After a few hours at Sapi Island, we headed to Manukan Island. The place is beautiful and scenic. The fishes there are also much bigger than at Sapi Island.
No pics from this trip because I didnt bring my handphone but I will get the pics from Chinos

After the trip to Islands, we went to travel around Mount Kinabalu area on Monday. Monday is also a very important day because it is my birthday. I received my present before leaving for the trip o I didnt open my present till late that day. Anyway... we told the driver that we want to see strawberry garden and NZ cows apart from Mount Kinabalu.

The drive to the hot spring took around 2 hours and there isnt much to see or do there. Since we are not dressed or prepared for the hot spring, we can only look around and then eat our lunch there. After that, we went to Desa Dairy Farm only to be turned away because the visiting hour only start at 3pm and it was only 1pm. But we did saw the cows from far away. The scenery there felt like in New Zealand. I found my mind drifting to the scenes in LOTR. :P


After that, we stopped at a Botanical Garden where there are strawberries and flowers. We sort of went crazy over taking photos and photos of the flowers there. The hibiscus are unbelievable big. The roses arent so memorable to me 'cause I have seen nicer ones at the Rose Garden at NZ. We went to the National Park next and enjoyed the cool air before leaving the place to go back to KK. Our dinner for that night was Italian food at Little Italy.


During the trip in KK, our most visited shopping centre is Centrepoint or should it be Palm Square. The first time I felt the power of other people's shopping power which almost suffocated me... my mindless mutterings...


There are seven of us and there are so many pairs of shoes/slippers/sandals...I alone have four pairs...Hehee... I think I have the most pairs... :P

Finally, the most unforgettable moment...

Preview~~ Preview~~!

Hey hey

Haiya... I am back from KK... arrived in Miri at around 2.15pm yesterday.

Erm... I actually slipped and fell on my butt and also broke the laptop screen in the process. After I discovered that the laptop screen is broken, I lost the heart and eagerness to blog and go online. So, I didnt whine about going out somewhere to go online and blog as I expected that I would. Surprisingly I didnt go berserk from not having internet connection.

In fact, I enjoyed myself so much in KK that I dont want to come back. The silence and stillness at home nearly bored me to death last night. I felt so suffocated that I decided to call Lynnx to 'boil phone porridge.' Talked till both of our phones ran out of battery juice and continued talking while the phones are charging.

I thought I must have gained kilos after devouring so much food in KK but when I weighted myself yesterday, I discovered that I have actually just gained an extra kilo. Phew! But not so fast, I still need to lose some serious weight. Somemore, I seriously need to be more hardworking to make myself a mei-nu cause there is no ugly woman, just lazy woman. I hope this encouragement will last long enough for me to see some effect in my life.

Btw, right now, I am not posting any pictures cause I just came back from yam-cha with Jeng and Elsie and my pc is so slow that I want to cry. So slow that I am not in the mood to arrange the pictures to make collages for photo-posting. Anyway, I am waiting for the other pictures from other handphones and camera to choose the nicest pictures. Hehe....So, Carol, patience... Kesabaran adalah separuh dari Keimanan Hahah~~!!

I tried...

Hey hey

I am still in KK, of course...Haha! Currently at Starbucks again. Today had to go thru the drizzle to get to here. Tonight, the place is filled with customers 'cause it is Friday...

So i guess i will start describing my trip like I always do.

On the 9th, early morning, I devoured a plate of rice with meat and veggie and an egg. Mum prepared it for me as dinner but Dad was late at delivering it to me so I had it for breakfast instead. After that, Dad sent me to airport to catch my flight. I arrived at 7am to find the queue extremely long. I waited faithfully while staring longingly at the short or non-existant queue at Airasia. Oh! I forgot to mention that I was queuing at the FAX queue.... The queue was significantly shortened when another counter decided to open to service the passenger to Labuan. My happiness turned into embarassment as I reached the counter and was told by the lady that I am supposed to be at the Airasia queue. The queue that I was staring and longing to be at. Damn! So embarassing la. Just as I rushed over to the correct queue which at the moment only has one person, the lady shouted out 'Passengers to KK please proceed to the line over there.'

Aiyaks...Haha... Almost of them rushed over as well. Not that embarrassing after all.

Anyway, after I took my flight pass, I went into the departure hall and at the same time, wondering why is my flight boarding time is 745am... My Airasia intinerary shows that my flight is at 845am so why boarding at 745 le? weird... As I scrutinised the whole hall for a place to sit, I saw someone familiar. A familiar face... A high school friend le..Haha...But is that her? I have no idea. But no harm trying to call out her name though...hehe...Is her le..Great! I actually would have a companion during the flight.
Eii..wait.... I mentioned about my weird flight time. Eii.. I actually boarded the plane at 745 le. How come? I mentioned it to my friend. She wasnt sure too. But the flight pass should be correct lo. We boarded at 755. We flew... We arrived at 845am at KK.

Adu... If I have went to the airport slower, I might have missed my flight. What is wrong with Airasia? Cheat me issit? Want me to miss my flight issit? I got proof that the intinerary is wrong. What the ****?

Anyway...I used a cab to go to Marina Court Resort Apartment. A colleague was waiting for me and then together we went to the place we are supposed to audit.

Lemme see... my workplace isnt too bad. I was a bit confused and not sure of what to do at first but a senior colleague got me going and I am still on my way to complete the job given to me.

Anyway... That night we went to Ocean Seafood Restaurant to makan...hahah... Yum yum... I have pics to show but I want to use Picasa to show it to you all so the pics will have to wait.

I suddenly realised that my days are actually all work..and then night time is play time and also work time as we need to rush the job. We are only going to be here for two weeks and so we need to rush to have everything done so that we will not have anything left over.

Ohya! After makan, we went to walk by the waterfront. The place is really nice. A lot of restaurants and they are all very friendly ( most probably so that they can do our business and feed us with food). There is also this night market and so we bought a comb of bananas before leaving the place. As we walked back to our apartment, we noticed that there is Starbucks and aimed to go there for online purposes. Ei! Something else beside it attracts our attention. Secret Recipe. Hehe..

Personally I have never been to Secret Recipe. I heard about it countless of time from Lynnx and often wonder about it. So we went in and bought a few cakes to bring back to our apartment to makan.

Work is really a very tiring thing as we have no slack time at all. Usually we can slack a bit and relax a bit before continue working but here, no play just work.

Ohya! Not wanting to fall sick, we actually cooked green bean soup and chrysathemum tea to drink for cooling down. Cool huh?

Well... tomorrow is Sunday. We will go to Tanjung Aru to have more fun... Hehe

A view from the living room of the apartment

Friday, November 10, 2006

Haha...

I am at KK now..HAHAHAH...

Online at Starbucks Coffee.... My first time at this place o...

Ermerm...

Yesterday I went to buy Secret Recipe cake to makan... erm... erm... macam under pressure le... Dunno what to write all of a sudden...So, i guess till next time... I will write more and post more pictures...

Erm...Tata!!

I think I am going to fail CPA111

After a few days of studying (...and staring into space, playing neoquest, reading blogs, watching tv, sleeping, window shopping, and dining out), it is finally THE DAY. THE EXAMINATION DAY.

The night before

I tried to do the mcqs and found myself not knowing how to answer any of it. Oh no! I panic. After days of studying (and all others), I have no idea how to answer the mcqs. How will I survive tomorrow's exam?! I actually called Mum and went to sleep after that. Woke up at 3am due to nightmare and slept till 8am

2pm, today

Only 7 people take CPA111 le...all girls. Never mind la, just try to do my best la.

The Verdict

Cant blame anyone if I dont do well. Can only blame myself. At least Mum got the warning that I might not do well.

Anyway... I went out for breakfast yesterday and decided to go to this coffee shop where i used to go very often with grandma. I miss eating their Chow Zhu Mien, Cao Cai MiFen, Tian Bian Hu and Chow Zhu MiFen. Yum Yum..the ever-so-delicious Chow Zhu Mien...


That evening, I went to office to get the laptop and watched the packing process. My intended short trip became a 2-hour trip to office. I cant even recall how many times I ran up and down the stairs.

Ohya! The day before...that is Monday night, went to Pizza Hut to makan with Irene, SiawLing, Amy and Dennis. Actually asked CK also but he din turn up. Too bad...want to wish him well and meet him for the last time before he leave Miri also cannot lor.

So, I have packed my stuff and for the umpteenth time, add and remove stuff to my luggage. Gosh... I am so excited to go to KK. Thinking that I have to weigh my suitcase again just in case overweight le My second trip to KK and I am not sure if I will be able to go online there. Two weeks without any internet connection. Hmmm...How will I survive?

Well, till then, here's a collage of my face for you all to see.

Sarawak, Serawak, Sara-whack?!

How do you pronounce the name of our State? Do you do it in the proper Baku way? The proper Baku way is Sa-ra-wak and yet there are people who pronounce it as Se-ra-wak. I believe that Lynnx is the one who brought this topic up the other day. How about Sara-whack? This is the angmohs' pronounciation. Hehe.. Promise to myself that i will try to pronounce Sarawak in the proper Baku way. :P

Anyway...

I decided to show the food I consumed when I was out.... Recently i have craving to eat chicken chop. So far, I have eaten two diferent places of chicken chop (excluding the previous experience of chicken chops). Kingwood (err..no, Jing Wood) failed to produce a delicious chicken chop. It is disappointing but at least they have really nice lamb chop, mixed grill and breaded stuffed fish.


Then, i tried out Double Star's chicken chop. Urgh... It is so tasteless. Despite of a good presentation, the grilled cucumber is terrible, the sauce is not even nice and the chicken is tasteless...Euuww...


Last night, I went out to yam-cha and I had insomnia...err, insomnia is difficulty to sleep, right? hehe...All thanks to that can of green tea. Last time, it has no effect on me but nowadays...hmm..i have to reconsider my choices of drinks.


Ohye.. My house regularly has canine visitors. They made such a muddy mess of my porch whenever it rains. And recently they are more interested in digging hole to lie in. Introducing one of the canine visitors,which came to lie on my car porch yesterday.


They are my neighbor's dogs. They couldnt get into their own home so they came to my place to seek shelter.

Finally, I shall go back to studying...haha...

I am Screwed

Went to work yesterday. Thinking that it will be a relaxing day but I was so wrong.

I went to work knowing that I will be wrapping up an assignment that needed approval from my boss. What I din anticipate is how much I still need to do and how much time I will need to have it done. Not only that, apparently another client of mine has been looking for me since Monday and so the thing she want me to do is, well, urgent. Need to be done on that day.

So busy that I think I must be the busiest person in the whole office. So much of a relaxing day.

After window shopping with Joanna and Laura at night, I slumped on the sofa watching CSI. No studying yet. I promise to myself that I will try to at least read two-third of Module 5 today.

But I woke up late this morning. Feeling so sleepy o. In fact, it is already noon now and I have not really started studying.

I am SO screwed...

Sunday, October 29, 2006

Dun Panic!

it has been like this a few days. My blog posts dropped all the way to the bottom for some pc. I suspect that the sidebar has grown fatter but I have no idea how to fix it. So I will let it be like this lor...

Just bear it and hope that it will recover soon...

Talk about steamboat

Steamboat is something that is really easy to make. Just throw a few things into a boiling pot and yum! yum! I seems to lose the inspiration on steamboat talk le... :P

Had steamboat the other day and was really full. It was so much fun though. Hehe


Ohye! Went to Snowflake Drink Stall for a cool refreshing drink. A place worth going o. Erm..My pic prob dun look as ravishing as my previous refreshing drink photo but trust me when I say it is equally as good.


Last night, I went to Lynns' place to have a special dinner. Erm..took this pic with Abelle. This is what happen when you are using a camera phone and someone else is using digital camera with flash. A mixture of bright and dark... :P

Thursday, October 26, 2006

Excite me

Just now when I sort of watch tv while making preparation for sandwich-making, I heard the actress say something like 'No, I am not destroying my dreams, I am destroying yours.'

This is a very common phrase spoken by the child to the parent who has a high expectation of what the kid should do. It makes me think of my parents. What are their expectations of me?

Have I ever let them down? Destroy their dreams of me?

I remember Mum telling me that she gave me the education I pursued in Curtin just to see me stand on the stage receiving my degree recognition. I remember her being so proud of me and taking photos of me during the graduation ceremony. How embarassed I was to stand still for three seconds for her to take my pic while I was on my way to my seating place. Her dismay to discover that the camera is not working well and she couldnt take more photos. Despite of saying that she will not give me any financial support to pursue CPA, she still give me her support, spiritually and financially. I will never stop remembering that she is there for me all the time.

I love you, Mum.

I remember being very surprised at my dad's cuteness when he wanted to use the car but I also wanted to use it as well. How he gleefully grab the keys when he knew that I got my friend to fetch me. I remember how enthusiastic he is when he found his childhood photo and proudly hang it in the extended living room. I sensed his worries when he found that I have not returned home and it is already late. Nevertheless, he gives me his full support all the time and provide me with my home.

I love you, Dad.

Nah, I am still fulfilling my parents' expectation for me. To live my life to the fullest.

Anyway...

I will be on leave after work tomorrow. It is time for me to sit down and study Financial Accounting CPA 111. Exam is on the 8th Nov and I still have plenty more to read. I think Mum is giving me pressure when I found a photo of me graduating from kindergarten. So weird to see myself in the photo. Erk!

Not only am I facing exam, i will be flying straight away after the exam to KK. So I will need to pack my stuff for the trip which I am not sure how will I do it.

Aiyaks...btw, today, Joanna and I are the only ones in the office. So quiet... Tomorrow it will be a little better, I hope... :P

Selamat Hari Raya

Yesterday I went house-visiting with my aunt and cousins. And, actually managed to get two green packets. Hehe...

Erm... I should be studying now. But I cant concentrate so instead I am blogging now. But I guess even blogging is not helping me cheer up.

When u see how I posted the following pics... you should know that I am using yuanz laptop to post this blog...



Last night I helped Lynthia and Lynna to make some earrings. I was just giving technical support while teaching them how to start off. The creativity flow is totally from them... I think the red and black beads earrings is really ethnic..

Change of direction...

Had a chat with Lynnx just now and got inspired to write this...

Sometime ago, I had a more-than friend feeling with a guy. I wasnt really sure if I really like him or not. Ok, should not say 'like'...cause friend can also like another friend as friend..So, it should be more than like but not till love yet....

Which brings me to say this...

I think love is a feeling that need to be developed over time. I dont think a couple can immediately love each other or miss each other terribly when they just started their relationship. Or even develop nickname of endearment for each other after a short time together. This is an after-effect of my first relationship...

Sometimes I feel as if i am being cynical about love. Dont think it will ever happen to me. Maybe i will just be a spinster for the rest of my life.

Anyway... i surpressed my feeling and told myself that I just want to be a normal friend with him...

Diversion from the topic again... Lynnx has once told me that it is good to actually have feelings for a guy cause this can help to encourage me to slim down or at least to be more beautiful. not very sure if it will work though. I am a person with such low determination especially when it comes to slimming down.. Only know how to day-dream..hehe...Right now, I am trying to use travelling to save money and thus cannot spend too much on food so hopefully can also slim down...hehe...

I think I managed to supressed my feeling till recently.... Well, actually, all these time, I think I have been subconsciously thinking of him... Little things remind me of his existence but I refused to acknowledge it.

I tried not to hang out with him thinking that it will help reduce my feeling for him. But I guess the phrase 'absence make the heart fonder' is true. Drowning myself in my work didnt seems to help either.

Recently, after the futile attempts of not hanging out with him, i decided "what the hell?! Dont care la" (pardon me) . I will just hang with him and see what happen.

It doesnt matter if he likes someone else and tells me all about it. It doesnt matter if he asks me how to court other girl and gets her (ok, dun think anyone will ask me how to court other ppl. Who am I to give advice le?!). What matters is that he is happy. Gosh! Sounds so 'wei da' le. So self-sacrifice...

Ok la... Someone advised me to confess to him but I cant do it because of two reasons.

Reason number one is because deep down inside I am still a traditional girl. I cant be so straight forward and brave to confess my love (or liking) for a guy.

Reason number two is because I dont want to be in an awkward position after confessing to him and get rejected. Then the relationship will never be the same. There will always be something that will cause embarassment. Then can say goodbye to a friendship lo...

Whoa... Lynnx, I told you I can write a lot about this though there are still so much more I want to write but I wish to retain some privacy and secrecy. I also dont want him to know that I am referring to him.

Dear colleagues, doesnt this create suspense? Bet you guys want to know who so I tell straight away that he is someone you dont know. Dont ask me though. DONT ASK!!!!

Setelah sekian lama

Sudah beberapa hari saya tidak menulis apa-apa post. baru-baru ini berasa begitu letih sekali.

Kerja saya berlambak-lambak dan perlu disiapkan sebelum saya mengambil cuti yang panjang untuk menelaah. Saya berasa begitu tertekan kerana masa semakin memaksa.

Namun begitu, minggu ini, saya telah keluar untuk berjumpa dengan kawan-kawan lama dan baru. Tidak dapat saya mengambil gambar-gambar yang jelas kerana telefon bimbit saya tidak ada 'flash.' Di samping itu, saya juga segan nak ambil gambil di tempat awam.

Malam Selasa, saya telah pergi ke Golden Pot untuk makan steamboat. Kali ini, saya makan dengan perlahan dan peliknya tidak berasa begitu kenyang seperti kali-kali yang sebelumnya. Selepas Golden Pot, kami telah pergi ke Siamese Secrets untuk berbual. Suasana di Siamese Secrets amat sesuai untuk berbual-bual.

Malam Rabu, saya keluar lagi untuk makan malam. Kali ini, saya keluar dengan Jeng and Elsie ke Seahorse. Stik ayam yang saya makan...tidak sesedap Kingswood. Tapi, yang lebih penting ialah kami berbual tentang kehidupan kami sekarang dan kenangan silam kami yang begitu indah dan bebas dari kerisauan.

Malam Jumaat, saya keluar dengan Irene ke Bintang Plaza. Selepas berjalan-jalan, kami balik ke tempat saya untuk menonton televisyen dan berbual-bual kosong.

Hari Sabtu, saya telah pergi bermain badminton seperti minggu-minggu yang sebelumnya. Berasa begitu letih kerana tidak cukup tidur. Tetapi hari ini merupakan hari yang begitu sibuk sekali...


Petang itu, saya telah pergi menonton perlawanan futsal sambil memberi sokongan kepada Lynthia. Saya, Lynnx dan Lynna memakai baju merah jambu untuk menyokong pasukan perempuan StCo. Keputusannya ialah St Co telah menewaskan Curtin. Dengan itu, StCo telah menang tempat pertama. Yea, cuma ada dua pasukan untuk perempuan. Haha...

Selepas itu, kami semua pergi ke rumah
Abelle untuk hari jadinya. Saya berasa begitu kenyang sekali selepas melahap makanan yang begitu sedap sekali.

Kalian semua, adik sepupu saya, Abelle, telah berumur sebelas tahun. Tahniah!


Abelle adalah adik sepupu saya yang umurnya berbeza dari saya sebanyak dua belas tahun. Sejak kecil, dia telah dijaga oleh nenek saya dan selalu tidur di rumah saya.

Saya menamatkan post saya kali ini dengan perkembangan pokok semalu di pejabat saya. Hehe... Dah ada duri la...

Monday, October 16, 2006

i cant believe it!

Today, I had lunch with Jeng at Double Star. Hmm...The Spaghetti Bolognese is a disappointment because it is not so tasty.



Anyway... My car got kissed... My bumper once again suffer the impact. I dont understand why is my luck so low....Sigh...

Sunday, October 15, 2006

I cant think of a heading

Was in the mood to make things to eat on Thursday night. And so I made sandwiches and jellies. This is the first time I make jellies using the plastic molds. My first attempt was a blooper. It wouldnt come out of the mold and when I forced it out with a spoon, it fell apart. Total frustration.


My first attempt of jellies


At 9 sumthing am on Friday morning, I started my second batch of jellies after consulting Aunt Cecilia about my disasterous first attempt. My second attempt was an ok. It didnt come apart although it was difficult to get it out of the mold.


My second attempt of jellies



Food at annual dinner


It is time of the year again for company annual dinner. Joanna, Huiling and Chai came over to my place to get ready for the dinner. At Cafe Rosita, two long tables were reserved for us. The food is served in buffet style and it is actually specially for Ramaddan. We (referring to Chai, Joanna, Laura, Kelvin and I) arrived among the earliest and left as the last few ones. We went to Al Fresco to have a drink before going home. Chai and Joanna overnight at my place. We chatted till 3am before falling asleep. We actually planned to sleep in bedrooms but we ended sleeping in the living room. :p

On Saturday, we woke up when Jong came over. Gosh... so sleepy le. But still went to eat breakfast and play badminton. After badminton, we went to eat/drink cold drinks at the rojak shop near Petronas.



I slept like a dead log the rest of the afternoon. I think I still float around feeling half dead till this Sunday afternoon.

Btw, ever wonder if I look good with curly hair. Here is a pic of me with curly hair..hehe...

Alas...

Like I said in my very recent previous post, I was really busy and tired. But at the same time, I got addicted to watch a Korean series called 'My Girl'. So addicted that I went to get the DVD of it. Note that I dont have a DVD player at home. Which reminds me of something...

Some time not long ago, when I was hanging out with friends, a friend laughed about not having DVD player or VCD player at home as if everyone should have one. I kept quiet. I dont have any of those at home. So not funny. I have an ancient video tape player which I dont think still works and an Astro decoder which I depends on for entertainment.



Anyway, I dig the skinny guy in black in the pic. Needless to say, I find him cute and magnetic... Haha...The girl and the other guy are the main characters in the series. It was shown on 8tv and prior to the final episode, I bought the DVD because I just cant stand the suspense anymore. Somemore, 8tv censored all the kissing scenes which I think is totally unnecessary. Oh! Just in case you are wondering why I bought the DVD even though I dont have a DVD player, I used yuanz's laptop...


Anyway, I have also spent a lot of time playing Neoquest a lot since Yuanz left his laptop in Miri. So basically I have a quick connection and a good laptop to feel comfortable surfing the net without feeling frustrated of the speed of the pc. Then when he took the laptop back to Brunei, I just dont feel like using this old pc. It is SO slow!

I am going to sign off this time with another update on that Mimosa.

Thursday, October 12, 2006

Apologies

Have not been updating...Because...I was tired. I pushed myself to finish my assignments at work. Pretty new stuff for me so I am still learning. Anyway..right now, i am on leave for Friday and Monday so I will be blogging. Unfortunately, I cant seems to upload pics. So I will try to do it later or tomorrow.

Tomorrow night is company annual dinner. Another big makan.

Ohya! I better go and take some pics of the konniyakus i did just now before i forget. Hehe... :P

I am going Malay-ish...

Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian, hari ini saya akan menulis 'post' saya dalam bahasa melayu.
Tak tahu dari mana datangnya pemikiran ini tapi saya berharap anda semua akan terhibur dengan 'post' kali ini.

Hari Jumaat ialah Hari Kuih Bulan. Sepatutnya bulan pada malam perayaan ini adalah yang paling cantik. Pagi itu, Miri telah dibasahi dengan hujan lebat. Sudah berhari-hari Miri diselimuti dengan jerebu. Apabila saya menghayati bulan yang begitu jelas sekali pada waktu malam itu, saya rasa Tuhan telah menghantar hujan pada waktu pagi untuk menghapuskan jerebu. Saya telah pergi ke Luak Esplanade untuk bermain tanglung dengan kawan-kawan saya. Ini adalah sesuatu yang melucukan kerana kami bukan kanak-kanak kecil lagi. Namun begitu, yang lebih memeranjatkan saya ialah jumlah orang yang pergi ke Esplanade untuk membuat perkara yang sama, bermain tanglung.

Malam Sabtu, saya telah pergi ke Curtin Sunset Carnival. Tujuan utama saya adalah untuk bertemu dengan Irene. Suasana di karnival ini adalah sama seperti tahun sebelumnya dengan bezanya di kekurangan cahaya. Karnival saya pergi sebelum ini dianjurkan pada waktu pagi dan karnival ini adalah dari petang ke malam. Tak ada beli apa-apa kerana barang-barang di karnival biasanya lebih mahal. Berjumpa dengan kawan-kawan lama di karnival juga.


Berasa sangat letih pada malam Sabtu. Mungkin kerana telah bermain badminton pada waktu pagi.

Baiklah, begitulah sahaja degan 'post' saya kali ini. Sekiranya terdapat apa-apa kesalahan, sila beritahu saya di ruangan komen, yea?

Losing more blood

Contrary to Lynnx, I didnt attend any class to study blood... I am referring to my purse. My expensive Braun Buffel long purse. Losing a lot of blood and will lose even more blood in the future. This month is a harsh month. I need to pay a whole lots of stuff this month. A lot of cash outflow...argh...


Recently, there is a lot of talk about me getting more and more horizontal. How I wish I can get more vertical because I am sort of vertically-challenged. Lynnx wish that she can become cuter when she eats more, I wish that I can grow taller if I eat more.

I discovered that I actually wrote a lot of blog posts about food. Always make my readers hungry. So this post is no difference. Here is a pic of my lunch today at Fratini's. Err... Linguine Ai something something...hehe...forgot the name la. Basically pasta with seafood.

Talking about the America Next Top Model 5 that just finished broadcasting in Channel V this week... The winner is Nicole and the runner-up is Nik.

Honestly, I think Nicole do not deserve to be the winner. Nik is more worthy to win because of her overall performance. This is the first time I disagree with the choice of winner. Perhaps I dont get what these professionals people are thinking.

Nicole, the winner


Nik, the runner-up

Each time...

Each time I want to try dieting, I will eat more stuff.

Yuan is here and so we had breakfast...Then I thought of not eating till dinner but then I got a sms and so my plan was changed. I went out to have prawn fritters. Then, as if it is not enough, I went to the Ramaddan stalls at Morsjaya and bought more food.

Oh no! I am so bloated now...Damn

Subconsciously Berpuasa

Should be going to play badminton this morning but I dont feel like going out at all when I woke up at 900am this morning. When I want to find something to eat, I dont want to eat instant noodle so I didnt eat. Instead I just drink the white grape juice with aloe vera and went online to play neoquest. Then, I drank another cup of grape juice for lunch... Fell alsleep on the sofa at 3pm till 6pm...


Usually I cannot stand not eating anything so not eating anything is a total amazement... Perhaps I should try again tomorrow and then see if I can lose some fats. Hehe... I know it is unhealthy though...But let's treat this as de-toxifying my body.... Only drink liquid....



Went out to a Mooncake Festival stalls at Boulevard with Karen, Laura and Kelvin. Then I 'berbuka puasa'...which reminds me that I have not been to the Ramaddan stalls since it started. Hmm...I want to eat sambal stingrays...Anyway, Thomas came much later and we all went to Bintang Plaza to watch Rob-B-Hood, Jackie Chan latest movie.



In the movie, Jackie Chan is a ever-losing gambler and Louis Koo is a playboy. Together, they teamed up with their landlord to steal from the rich. They are commissioned to kidnap a baby boy and when they (Jackie and Louis) failed to give the baby to the people who commissioned them, they have to take care of the baby. In the end, they saved the baby from near-death (the bad guy tried to kill the baby) and went to jail due to kidnapping. The family of the baby then employ them and it was a happy ending.

The movie has a few of guest celebraties. A lot of funny scenes as well as 'scary' moments. The baby is so cute. So so cute!!
