Recalling the trip

Packed my stuff two days before the departure day. Dont really have much time to think and be excited about the trip due to the workload at office though. Felt as if I was trying to cramp as much work as possible so that I dont have to worry too much after the trip.

Miri Airport & LCCT

Arrived the earliest at the airport. Closely followed by Aaron and Kueh, then Laura and finally Kelvin. Didnt sleep in the plane although it was already quite late. Instead, we played 'Cho di' during the whole flight. Arrived at LCCT at 12.30am. By the time we put all our stuff down in the condominium unit, it was already 230am. The condominium is at Taman Melati, Setapak.

The bedroom and my luggage

Friday, 02.02.2007 - We drove a long way to Sunway Pyramid. At first, we went to eat brunch at Kim Gray Restaurant. I had a set meal of one bouche (i think this is how it is spelled), baked cheese rice with beef, jelly and a glass of fruit milk drink.

Kim Gray - French toast and my set meal

Celery bites - Proof that I can withstand celery in soup. Urgh~!

Thomas and Chinos came to meet us and window shopped with us after that. My first shopping items are one khaki handbag and one bracelet from Radioactive. We strolled through Sunway Pyramid then left the place for 1 Utama. We had a Secret Recipe dinner, which I devoured a spicy tomyam spaghetti. Dont really like it. I prefer the one I had at KK, which was less mild.

We then strolled around 1U then went to Ming Tien where there are variety of food available for supper.

Ipoh Hor Fun

Actually we also ate fried oysters but I forgot to take a pic of it. Hehe... Too busy eating. Yum~!

MidValley

Saturday, 03.02.2007 - Due to lack of water the day before, I think I was so dehydrated that my liver felt very warm and thus, not feeling so well. Drank a lot more water this day. We went to MidValley. I waited for Jinnwei and Lynnx for brunch. We had a Manhattan Fish huge platter and I also ordered the recommended Peanut Butter Smoothie which has another name which I cant remember now. And for dessert, we had Papa Bread (or Bread Papa)'s cream puff. The cream puff is really really yummy.

Baskin Robbins' Mango ice cream

Then, the three of us went on a shopping frenzy (more like only me on a frenzy). Poor Jinnwei 'cause he had to follow me around as Lynnx left to meet up with her friend. Well, at least he got a Billabong shirt out of it. I got myself two working shirts and one long khaki pants. At 3 sumthing pm, Jinnwei left me with my friends as he went off to do whatever he wants to. After a stroll around, we went to the next destination: Power House, Ikea and The Curve.

Ikea - Restaurant, Meatballs, Huge Gondolas, Showroom

First, we went to Ikea for dinner. I ordered the famous Swedish Meatballs. I love Ikea. I wanted to get everything there. I want to change the furniture in my house. But how to transport back le?!! Wait! What is more important is where can i get the money?!! Anyway, after that we went to have a stroll at Power House and then The Curve.

The Curve - with its beautiful CNY decoration

After that, Laura went to find her aunt while I went to find Jinnwei. Hmm... Jinnwei's place is like any other rented students house. Messy is the word to describe it. Well, after that, we went home to sleep. We got an early morning the next day.

Sunday, 04.02.2007 - We woke up early to go to Genting. After a roti canai breakfast, we drove to the cable car station and used the cable car to go up. We went into the casino first. Then, we went to the indoor theme park. Erm. I can say that the Genting trip is pretty boring as we didnt want to spend the money to go out to the outdoor theme park. So we ended up just going on the monorail to go round the outdoor theme park.

Genting

McD Lunch - Beef Prosperity Foldover at Genting McD

After coming down from Genting, we went straight to our dinner location, Saisaki Restaurant. The japanese buffet is amazing. Too much choices. I didnt manage to eat as much as I hope. Too full.

We went to Times square to look around. Kind of too tired already so I didnt really feel like shopping around. We then went out to the cafe to chit-chat. Recalling our university lives. hmmm... I miss those days.

Monday, 05.02.2007 - We parked our car at Times Square then walked all the way to Sungei Wang to have brunch at Super Noodle House.

I ordered a plate of roasted duck with HorFun but the Hor Fun turned out to be a bit too mushy. Anyway, after that, we walked to StarHill to have a look around. Er..too high-end for us. So, we moved on to KL Plaza and had a little exploring going on in there then straight to Lot 10. At Lot 10, I finally lost it. I had been trying to constraint myself from buying any makeup which I know I dont really use. Well, I bought a Red Earth foundation package. Aiyoks~! At the same time, we met up with Thomas there and then I bought mum's fur gloves. After walking around Lot 10, we crossed the road to go to Sungei Wang and BB Plaza. Dont really have anything to buy anymore. So, after we had a little pc stuff shopping at Low Yat, we headed to Petaling Street. Weird... Petaling Street is not as i remembered it. Perhaps it has been too long. Anyways, after that, we headed to SS2 to look around the pasar malam. We went to eat our dinner at this place called 'Gei Dak Sek' which serves really tasty dessert. The mango lok, which all of us ordered, is really nice.

That's the Szechuan Sour Hot Hor Fun and Mango Lok

After dinner, we went to stroll at the pasar malam. Hmm.. After a fulfilling dinner, nothing in the pasar malam can attract my attention. We went home playing 'Cho Ti' while eating otak-otak and tempura tofu and mushrooms. Couldnt really finalised my luggage packing 'cause I still have a few more things that I cant packed yet. Anyways... it is the final night at KL.

Tuesday, 06.02.2007 - Because we need to give the keys back to Laura's cousin, we went to KLCC as her office is there. We ate A&W for brunch.

After brunch, we window-shopped around. Hmm... Nothing much to shop for actually. Then, we left the place to go to buy more bak kua before heading to LCCT or I thought so. Turned out that we actually detoured to Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. When we reached airport, we checked in and then went to McD to have dinner. I had Spicy Beef Foldover. Ok... I dont really enjoy this foldover. I prefer Prosperity Beef Foldover.
hmmm... that pretty much sum up my trip to KL. Oh! One thing.... I always take photos of the place we parked in shopping centres. Worried we might forget where we park the car. Hehe...

Final Escape Before Plunging Down

A final trip before plunging into the endless hole of work and study till mid of July. A trip that I sort of anticipated for a long time. For two particular reasons.
Reason one is, a reason that has been in my mind for (at least) three years, that is, I want to go to KL to shop and visit. Many people told me that KL has nothing to do at all. May I point out that these people has recently been to KL and yet they told me that KL is not a place to go to. But they dont know how envious and clueless I am whenever I hear about the places in KL, eg. Carrefour, Ikea, Sunway Pyramid, 1 Utama, etc. Simply because I have never been there!
Reason two is that this trip will be an official with-friends trip. Ignoring the fact that we went to travelling at KK and Kuching before this. This time we travelled together from Miri to KL. No travelling alone. Together fly there. Together fly back.
After this trip, it will be all work and study and no play. It will be boring and hectic months. Erm.. Ok, there are holidays to be happy about for each month from now till June. July till December schedule havent issued yet.

We actually have an intinenary made before our trip. Basically we have our five days planned out. A plan filled with shopping and culinary experiences. The culinary places we went are recommended and carefully selected to satisfy our taste buds.

This trip, I have the use of Yuanz's Samsonite cabin-size luggage bag. I was worried that I might overpacked again so I limit myself to half of the bag. It weighted at 7kgs when I checked it in. No worries then. I sort of once again over-packed as I have two clean tops and one short pants left at the end of my trip. I didnt change my clothing as often as I expected. Oh well....

Our accommodation is graciously provided by Laura's cousin. Her condominium unit. Wait~! Her NEW condominium unit. There are not much furnitures, just mattresses, dining table and chairs. But we didnt need anything else than that. Thanks to Laura's cousin for letting us use her place! I hope we dont use too much electricity and water though.

We rented a car to travel around. A Waja. Considering the fact that we didnt need to spend any money on accommodation, the amount of places we want to go, the number of participants for this trip, and also Kelvin's amazing driving skills, renting a car to use is the best alternative. Using that Waja actually made me consider asking Dad to get me a Waja to replace the old Wira. Still a thinking-in-progress now though.

On a happy note, I am glad I didnt gain any extra kilo due to all the food consumed at KL. We did drink less water. It is more like not drinking water at all during shopping time. I suffered chapped lips on the second day. More water was consumed the next day so that I wouldnt get sick. Talking about getting sick, I seems to have a weird trait during travelling. On the final two days of the trip, I had a terrible migraine (same during KK and Kuching trip). This time, I bought headache pills, Pronstan, to cure it so that I wouldnt be moodless while walking around. It worked so I was a happy girl throughout the trip except for that few hours.

My budget for this trip is actually just RM 800 but I think I blew it. I think I might have spent RM 1,000. Food, car and shopping included. Air ticket not included. Talking about my shopping this time, I spent a whole load of money on my second day at MidValley. Thinking of my shopping loot, it wasnt much. Looking at my spending list, I think I spent a lot on food. Well, actually it was within my initial food budget of RM300. Right on the spot. RM300 all on food itself. So i guess what blew my budget were the unexpected pampering of jinnwei, my mum's gloves and the foundation set.

Going to try to do as much cleaning around the house before going back to work next week. Got to give the house its spring cleaning although there will be no CNY celebration this year.

Have I enjoyed my trip? Yupe. And I am ready for the plunge.

P/s: Pics and more description coming soon.

So...

Havent been posting anything recently. Still pretty moodless. Too much things to worry about.


So, to release the moodiness, I watched a few anime on Animax.



One, God(?) Save Our King which is about a boy, Yuri Shibuya, who is actually the Demon King for the Demon World which exist on a different dimension than earth aka the real world. Anyways, the anime is sort of gayish 'cause the fiance of the King is actually a guy. Otherwise, it is a good anime. Just that one disturbing point. I wonder how it made it thru the Malaysian Censorship Board. Could it be because the anime itself never mention about it being gay?

Two, Dr. Black Jack. This cool genius doctor is always asking for ridiculous amount of money if someone seeks for his help, regardless of the fact that he doesnt have a medical license. But, he is actually very kind. Just that, he doesnt want to benefit those with lots of money and no sense of respect for others. Love this. A little suprised to know that Jeng also watch this. Haha~

Received my CPA 104 Strategic Management Accounting materials already. Which signifies another round of studying. Anxiety. I dont want to panic and do last minute studying anymore.

Asked Dancing Queen about how much will it cost to join the health club at Marriott. Not surprisingly, it costs RM2500 for the registration plus one year membership, if pay at one go. This equals to RM208 a month. Hmm...it is even more expensive than jinnwei's initial gym plan of RM200. Still contemplating whether to go for it or not. Give it time till after peak period at the office lah.

A chilling reminder of how short life can be when I saw the live news of the death of Xu Wei Lun. The news reminded me of the accident Decembers ago. Got to be careful when driving on the road. So, got to be careful driving at the roundabout at Boulevard. That is one dangerous place, especially at night, due to the construction of the fly-over.

Hmmm... this post turns out longer than I expected. I will be leaving for KL tomorrow night. I hope to be able to have lots of fun and relax enough to start working like a mad robot. Expect lots of pictures 'cause I have my v3i in good condition this time.

I dont know

Life seems to be back to normal recently. Nothing interesting...Sigh..

Promised Lynnwei that I will show her my new hair...However, the pic doesnt really show the full glory of my hair..hehe...But anyway, here is a preview first.



Do you the moment when you feel like dont want to blog at all? Thetime you have no idea what to write. I am experiencing that now. This post has actually been in the draft for the past week. It will still be in draft if i havent feel obliged to get on with it. No idea why I suddenly lose the writing power.

Finally.... Happy Birthday to Aaron...

WGTG Fashion Blog

One day, Lynnx gmail-ed her sister and her cousins about a blog project. It is about doing a fashion blog that features our fashion sense. We are not copying the other fashion magazines. We are showing our own things. For more info, you can refer to lynnx. Do support our effort to make this new blog a success.

I am not hoping for just one initial visit but repetitive visits from you all. So you know what to do... Hehe!

Please understand also that it is not possible to update it every day 'cause we are not rich and free enough to shop for new things to show off. So, it depends on what we think it is good enough to be shown to the world. But, we will update the blog as often as possible.

Please do support our fashion blog.

Finally moved to New Blogger~!

After a long wait, I finally able to switch over to the new blogger. This is so exciting~~!! Now I can label my posts... Ohye~~!!

~silence~

Ok, I admit it. I am not that excited about it. Dont really feel anything except perhaps feeling relieved that it has combined with the new project blog I am also currently working on with my cousins. This way I dont have to login into two different blogger to write my post.

But I wouldnt be labelling my posts yet. I need a time when I can plan it all out and do everything one go. Hey! I have like two years of posts to label le.

Anyways...

I think I have survived one week spending only, and possible less than, RM20.00. I think I will continue my effort to spend less. But I dont think my weight has dropped at all. I havent started any exercise regime due to some unforeseen circumstances. Hopefully by the start of a new week, I will do some easy do-it-at-home exercise help me to lose some fats. :P

On a happier note, my car is out of the workshop already. The back of the car looks ok to me. I am still pissed about the inefficiency of the workshop. The front of the car has little damages which are minor and my dad will fix it for me soon. Otherwise, I am perfectly ok with the car for now.

Outburst

Was talking to Yuanz on the phone just now and realised how pissed off I still am about how the people handled my car. I think I want to write about it here and forget all about it.

First of all, I will apologize for the language that I am going to use but it really reflect how I felt at that time.

On Friday when the car was hit, around 1pm, the towshop/workshop guy called JWei but JWei passed the phone to me. The guy asked me to go over to the Traffic Police Station with the car to have pictures taken and to make police report at 3pm. Ok, no problem with that but shouldnt the pics be taken at the time of the accident. Maybe it is just a really damaged bumper so no biggie. Never mind. As I almost arriving at the police station at 3.05pm, the guy's colleague, who happens to be my cousin, called and told me that I dont have to be at the station anymore as the aunty decided not to claim insurance to pay for the damages. But I will need to either bring the car to the workshop tomorrow or Monday to have it fixed. Ok, why didnt call earlier to tell me that I dont have to be at the police station. Made me drive all the way there with that horrible looking bumper to tell me to drive back home again. Do you think I love to drive around with that horrible bumper and huge dent?! What with the wait-till-Monday-to-fix? I want it fixed asap. So Saturday, it is. I waited till 10am to call and made sure that it is ok for me to send the car. My cousin gave me the green light so off I went. When i arrived there, my cousin wasnt there to assist but instead I am left to get someone to notice and assist me. Why the hell do you ask me to go there and pretending that you will be there to help me when you arent going to be there? Then, finally the lady got informed of my situation so she arranged for a guy to take pics of the damages. No one told me that the car cannot be fixed on that day till I asked. The boss told me that it can only be fixed on Monday. So I should drive over on Monday to have it fixed. Ok, having me driving this car all the way to Piasau to have pics taken and to drive it all the way to Piasau again to have it fixed. What the hell?! At 11.45am, I received a phone call from a guy from this workshop telling that he accidentally deleted all the pics he took and so I have to drive all the way to Piasau to have the pics retaken. What do you mean by accidentally delete it? You mean you intentionally delete it, dont you? 'Cause it sounds more like you are intentional. Fine, I will drive it there for you to take those f***ing pictures again. I specifically told the guy that I will be there at 230pm which I did arrive at 230pm precisely (according to the clock in my car). Guess what? I have to wait again. Another person is assigned to take the pictures this time. Then she told me that they need to quote the price of the repair to the aunt who hit my car on Monday morning and then, then I can have my car fixed on Monday afternoon. What the hell again? Why the hell do we, no, I have to go through so much trouble and waste so much time? Ok, I dont want to argue, no energy to do that. Fine, Monday it is.

Monday, I waited and waited and waited till 5pm. Where is that call to tell me that I can send the car over to fix? Where is that promised phone call? Forget all about me, is it? I called my cousin and he told me that he will call and ask for me. The guy, who is supposed to be the one in charge of this whole situation and whom till now, I have not seen, called me and told me that the aunty dont agree with the price and want to have a look at the car before agreeing to paying. So I will need to bring the car over to the workshop at 830 tomorrow, which is Tuesday. Not willing to pay? Then why dont want to claim insurance? Why want to be so troublesome?

Tuesday, I had to apply for leave so that I can be there at the workshop. I cant understand why she refused to pay the quoted price till she sees the car. I arrived (on time again) at precisely 830 am. Calling the guy to tell him that I am at the workshop. He told me to wait and then after 15 minutes, I called him again just to be told that the aunty is on her way now from Pujut. Ok, Pujut is fairly near from Piasau. Shouldnt take long now. Waited for another 15 minutes. What the hell? Where the hell is this lady driving from? Need to take such a long time? If already made an appointment at 830, then be there on time! Again, the aunty and I (actually, I think it is more like me is the only one who is waiting again) waited for the person who is supposed to be the middle guy to come. The girl who took the pics came to talk things out. She was persistant about the RM1650 but later agreed to the RM1600. The aunty sounded apologetical but the guy she was with wasnt happy with the quotation. Excuse me. I thought the pics they took are clear enough to show the damages on my car. Why the hesistance? Unless they didnt show the pics, or have they unintentionally delete the pics again? I dont know. What I know is that this is wasting a lot of my time.

The girl actually said that I will need to bring the car back another day because the workshop cant seems to accomodate me yet. I think the look on my face showed that I am not happy and I want it done asap. My car might not be very damaged but it is still damaged. I have driven to this workshop for so many f***ing times and you want me to drive it back here again at some other f***ing day. Do you want to do my business? If dont want, then dont waste my time in the first place. The girl called the boss and confirmed that they can repair my car today so I can leave my car at the workshop. Four days to do.

I am so sick of this. The next time if such thing happen, I want to claim the insurance company, it should be much much faster and less hassle. Claim whatever that I can claim for. The car actually also suffered some damages at the front but I cant have it fixed because they want to charge me for it and Dad doesnt want that. This is just so frustrating!

F*** the aunty for knocking into my car. F*** the workshop for being so unprofessional. Bullshit to that whatever approved workshop by whatever insurance companies. This workshop sucks for mistreating me.

No longer hospitalised

Hehe... My handphone is finally out of the hospital. It costs me RM138 and dont ask me what was wrong with it because I didnt ask. Too happy to ask.

But so far, I havent found something or whatever that I think worth taking pics of. One thing for sure, I will be taking a lot of pics in KL.

Call me a hillbilly or whatever. I want to go to KL despite people telling me that there is not much to do there. But I havent been to KL for more than five years, i guess. So, going to KL is fun to me.

Anyways... went out with Jeng and Elsie last night. We went to a cafe nearby Petronas Station at somewhere near Pujut 7. Then to Siamese Secrets. It was nice to sit together and talk about everything. Which reminds me to say this "Happy Belated Birthday, Elsie!"

Oh... I finally got a good pic of my grey eyes..hehe....

And also... I have actually also went to straighten and highlight my hair last Thursday. Jwei had his hair highlighted as well. I actually wanted to just highlight my hair but ended doing both. Was at Kelvin Hair Studio for 7 ½ hours. Hair done by the students. They really took a great care to make sure that they are doing everything correctly. In the end, my hair looks great. No pics yet cause I cant seems to find an angle of my hair that I like to show. Costs me RM160 this time. :P

Been eating less this past two days. Hopefully I can feed my purse till fat fat and myself till thin thin...

My car finally got hospitalised after been hit on Friday. Found out that it will actually cost RM1600 to fix it. Poor lady. She doesnt want to claim insurance because the car she was driving is not hers. Sigh...Dont care as long as I have my car fixed and she is paying for it. Should have my car back by Saturday if everything goes well.

What?! Hit Again?!

i have been so worried to let JWei use my Wira. i dont want anything to happen to it after it has gotten a new beautiful bumper due to this.

Jwei has been very careful that I am already getting used to the fact that he can drive. Abuthen...today...just when he is going to fly at 7pm later... the car got bumped because a stupid lady pressed the accelerator instead of the brake... JWei is ok, just the car nia lor....

My poor, poor bumper~~


The culprit to the destruction of my bumper. It has also suffer some damages. But i dun care~~!!

Bond...James Bond...007....2007

Another year.

I actually wanted to recall back what i did every month but I stopped at February feeling like wanting to cry already.

So.... i end this post with a pic of my new contact lenses which are not very clear here but it is supposed to be grey colour....

Year End Trip

Day Before The Trip (28/12/2006, Thursday) - Bought the ticket to Kuching and paid RM292. Since there is nothing much to do in the office, I got to clear my overtime leave earlier than expected (actually thought that I have to delay till 2007 to clear it). Cherished and spent the final afternoon and night with the Tings cousins. Not forgetting that we also went to welcome Lynthia who just came back from the Land of The Rising Sun, Japan. Mum and Dad actually came to Miri that night so that i can bring some stuff over to Aunt MeiYan. I only started packing my stuff at night and I wasnt sure of how much stuff should I bring for a 6-day trip. Really nervous and worried le. Adui~! I seldom travel, k? I get nervous easily, k? My parents thought that I dun want to help to carry the stuff to Aunt MeiYan pula. misunderstanding le...i really honestly think that I have overpacked le~~ Also did last minute laundry so that I can bring my good clothes to Kuching. Otherwise, i will be wearing not-so-comfy clothes.

The Start of the Trip (29/12/2006, Friday) - Mum and Dad were pissed off at me for the overpacking problem but later we sort of forget about it over breakfast. Phew~! I dont want to go to Kuching with the knowledge that my parents are mad at me le. I removed a few clothings from my suitcase at Lynns' place and finally feel much better about my overpacking problem. Bid farewell to Tings before leaving for the airport to catch the Airasia flight to Kuching. Thanks to Fiona for the ride. Aunt MeiYan was there at the airport waiting for me when I arrived at Kuching so it saved me the trouble to find her to give her the stuff and as usual, another package was given to me to give to Mum. Laura's parents were there as well and we (Laura, her parents and I) went to have lunch at Yew Fook or Hang Fook Cafe (I cant confirm the name anymore...). I didnt want to trouble Aunt MeiYan and instead trouble Laura's relatives because I dont want to have to go thru the trouble of meeting up when the rest of the people arrive in Kuching, knowing that Aunt MeiYan's knowledge of places in Kuching is quite limited and more to chinese names. Anyways, after lunch, we went to Aunt Doris's house where we proceeded to devour lots durians and rambutans. After a short rest, we (Laura, her cousin - SioBee(?), and I) went to another cousin's house to pick up a cousin - AhWan(?) and then to McD to pick up AhWan's sister - AhTeng(?) and her friend. We went to shop at Sarawak Plaza and Tun Jugah. Lea Centre had 50% sale on its Nike products and I bought a short pants for Jinnwei which I am thinking not to give him anymore (Hehe) which costs RM 42.50 after discount. At Tun Jugah, I bought a pale pink shawl which costs RM21 after a 70% discount and two earrings which costs RM4 each. We had dinner at See Good Restaurant... I was the only stranger among Laura's relatives. Paise~ So paise~ After the dinner, we wanted to go for a walk at Waterfront but it was interrupted by the rain so we went home instead. After playing cards and more durians and rambutans, the day finally ended.

Second Day of the Trip (30/12/2006, Saturday) - Woken up by Aunt Hilda at 8 something am to go have breakfast. We had the kolo green noodles at someplace in Kuching. After breakfast, five of us (Laura, her parents, her cousin - SioBee, and I) went for sightseeing. We went to Damai Lagoon Resort, Damai Resort and Santubong Resort. After that, we went to eat Fried Butter Crabs at Lee Hock Ann Seafood Restaurant for lunch. Then, to the industrial area and then I fell asleep so I have no idea where. Hehe... Basically we had a 5-hour sightseeing before returning home to have more durians and rambutans. After some rest, Laura, SioBee and I went to Sarawak Plaza again. I purchased a Nike basketball pants for Jinnwei which costs RM44.50 after discount. We went home to get our stuff and went to Merdeka Palace to meet up with the guys. We went to Junk Restaurant to have dinner. The surroundings of the restaurant is too dark and the air ventilation system is not that good at our big table. I ordered Lamb Shank and Triple Sour Drink under the recommendation of Christopher and enjoyed it very much despite knowing that there are celery in the tasty sauce.

Verdict for Junk Restaurant: Food is great. Drink is great. Deco is great. Just give more light, please!
Money spent on food & drink: RM30, I think...

After our dinner, we went to Oregano to have a drink. We only sat for a while before retreating to our suite for the night. Laura and I had the smaller room while the guys (Kelvin, Kueh and ChienChin(?)) had the bigger room.

Merdeka Palace Hotel, our apartment suite - There are two rooms. One is a bigger room with a double bed, a television, attached bathroom with bathtub and all the usual furniture. Room 2 is a smaller room with also a double bed, attached bathroom with shower room and usual furniture. There is another toilet in the common area which is strictly not for showering purpose. There is a kitchen where no cooking can be done unless you have the cutleries and cooking materials. Then finally a dining area and a living room. We stayed at Room 1001, by the way.


Third Day of the Trip (31/12/2006, Sunday) - We went out to Thompson Corner to have our breakfast and then proceeded to Sarawak Plaza, Tun Jugah and Parkson to do some shopping. I bought another shawl, which is a more pink one and costs RM24. After shopping, we went to Sunny Hill to have Sunny Hill ice cream and then went to hunt for the place to buy Sau Pau and BeePang. We went back to our suite apartment to rest and made reservation for the Sau Paus we wanted to bring back. Alvin and Christopher came over and we finally decided to have new Year Eve's dinner at Casa Davide. I ordered the New Year Eve's set which consists of a asparagus cream soup, a chargrilled beef steak in red wine sauce with veggie and potatoes cubes, and grapes crepe with ice cream plus one cup of coffee.

Verdict for Casa Davide: Asparagus soup is somewhat runny. The beef steak is a bit chewy. The red wine sauce is great, i like it. The veggie is capsicums and fortunately I like it too...The coffee is a little weird. Overall, this meal is just an ok ok nia.
Money spent on food & drink: RM50, I think...

After the dinner, we wanted to go to Link but we didnt went up 'cause the entrance fee is RM65 which is too expensive. So, we went to Soho instead. Luckily we went there a little earlier 'cause there wasnt any other table anymore after that. Most of the tables had been reserved. As the night went on, more and more people arrived and it got more and more crowded. I met ThingSoon who was there with his cousins. After the countdown, we went back to our apartment. After shower, Christopher brought his colleagues to continue partying. I was too exhausted to join in so I went to sleep. Actually also felt paise to join in....

Fourth Day of the Trip (01.01.2007, Monday) - Had a dimsum breakfast at Siaw Pa Wang. After breakfast, we went back to the suite apartment to relax. At 3 pm, we went to Hartz Chicken to have an all-you-can-eat meal. I have no idea why but i was having my one-side headache again and felt very unwell. Somehow, i managed to eat three pieces of chicken. Din feel like eating anymore after that. After that, we went to Kenyalang to window shop. My headache was not getting any better so I only look around at the stuff. After a short rest at our suite apartment, we went to Aunt Vero's house (Laura's aunt) where we were treated with lots of food. New Year celebration. The whole big family was there. After we ate and a bit of interviewing, the aunties shooed us out so that we dont feel obliged to stay till late and can do what we want to. As we still havent have any plan, we sent Alvin back home and went back to the suite apartment to relax. Then, we went out to a shop selling taiwanese dessert called Grapeberry Cafe or Dong Guan Xi Guan in chinese. I ordered a mango and sago dessert which was nice but I was too ill to enjoy it. I felt a little better when I was back in the apartment watching television.

Fifth Day of the Trip (02.01.2007, Tuesday) - I actually woke up earlier but still suffer of the headache so I went back to sleep a little longer.When I woke up, the three guys and Laura went out to get the Sau Paus and have breakfast so I went to explore the hotel grounds. Actually it was more like have a look at the swimming pool, hotel cafe and hotel restaurant. After the guys left Kuching, Laura's four cousins came to the suite apartment to bring us around and also to check out of the apartment. We first went to Wai Po to eat Bak Kut Teh and then to Aunt Vero's house where we played cards and then took a nap. A short nap became a long two hour nap and after the nap, we went out to have Sweet Fried Cha Kueh and Belacan Bihun. At night, we had
Pork Satay at aunt Doris's place and then went out to have a walk at Waterfront. Back at Aunt Doris's place, we had some more durians before going to sleep.
The guys actually had two flat tyres near Bekenu due to hole in the road. Fortunately it wasnt too far from Miri so help was sent to them.

Final Day of the Trip (03.01.2006, Wednesday) - Woke up early and had Kueh Chap before going to the airport. Reluctant to go back to Miri. But it was time to go back to reality. The flight was delayed for about half an hour and we arrived at Miri at about 11am.

This trip is a food trip because really seems to eat non-stop. However, i didnt gain any extra kilo. Hehe...Now I am suffering of slight headache and a little coughing which may get worse if i dont eat anything to cure it.

Not in the mood

Christmas is really busy this year. Thinking about it, almost every year i spend Christmas wandering around in the shopping centres. This year Christmas Eve is a little special becase i had a Kazens' Christmas Party at my place. No adults supervision. The speed of all of us consuming the food was amazing. Super fast and the amount of food was just right.

Merry Christmas~~!

"Recycled" pic from the previous two years. Refer here (2004) and here (2005).

A few days before, my phone was barred due to no money to pay the phone bill. After more than half year of faithful monthly payments to Celcom, I finally ran out of cash to pay the bill and thus, the stoppage of services to my phone. Nevertheless, I became unattached to my phone despite of feeling forlorn.

Christmas eve, I accidentally dropped my bag on the hot jalanraya and due to my unattachness to my phone, I totally forgotten that my phone was in the bag. My phone went into a coma state and didnt respond to the electrical treatment. After a short rest, it finally regained consciousness and I rejoiced.

Christmas Day, dread came over me when I discovered that my phone will not allow any electricity feeding.

I fell into the hole of desperation and forlornness

I tried to cheer myself with a purchase of a new fragrance. I have always wanted to get a new fragrance for myself 'cause the ones I have arent my own choice. Thus, I bought Calvin Klein Eternity Summer. Special edition somemore le. Managed to get an extra freebie from the saleslady - using my super-cute persuasion power...(vomit)


Still feel forlorn le. Yuanz told me that his friend told him that there is a possibility that my phone might never be usable ever again. Shit la!

I wonder when will I ever recover le...

As promised

I apologized for the time I told you that I have forgotten your age. Hehe~!

Anyway, Thomas reminded me that we have known each other for one year since 15th December 2005. Gosh! Has it really been that long?

Remember the time you told me that I am not so friendly and not approachable when you first saw me? Hehe... I didn't know I was that unapproachable. Anyway, I am glad we get to know each other better lor.

Hmmm... I dont know what to say liaw. Hehe...

Ok la... Show you off to all of my readers lor...Haha

I Declare War Against Ants! Die Ants Die!

I have always dislike ants. I dislike looking at the ants going about with their businesses. Forget the diligence of the ants. They are a nuisance to me.

But now I hate them so much. I DECLARE WAR AGAINST THEM!

Last night, I decided to ignore the fact that there are a few ants roaming around the coffee table while I was using the laptop. Then, as I ignorantly, out of habit, rubbed my eye and something stinged my eye. I quickly got up and went to the kitchen sink to get my eye cleaned. In my rush to get whatever it is (i think it is most probably an ant), I rubbed my eye which is a mistake. I shouldnt have. Nevertheless, my eye got red and swollen after that.

After three hours and a scare from Lynnwei, I called Laura to ask her to send me to consult doctor. Super worried that I might get blind le~!

We went to MCMC first. There wasnt any other patient around.
After a short wait, the doctor examined my eye. The doc couldnt find any ant in my eye and washed my eye with saline (which was really refreshing). He then suggested that I consult an eye specialist at the GH and prescribed me an eye drop.

So, Laura and I went to GH and waited for quite some time for my turn. The medical assistant (since I am not so sure if he is a doctor) put anaesthetic into my eye so that I couldnt feel any pain when he checked my eye. Then he arranged for me to meet with the eye specialist the next day. It was raining very heavily when we left the hospital. Thank you so much, Laura!



This morning, I went to see the specialist. I waited for one hour and a half for my turn. He checked my eye and then prescribed me an additional eye drop. He explained to me that my eye is due to irritation from allergy to the ant.

I HATE ANTS!

Busy Day?

I was the chaffeur, unofficial photographer, makeup artist, and a runner. Talk about multi-tasking.

I chauffered the Tings to the hair saloon to have their hair styled. Jas went for the straight hair look while Selene and Ivy got the curly hair look. After the hair styling, we went to Lynn's place to get the makeup done. The foundation, the eye shadow, the mascara, the blush, the eye-liner, the lip stick and the lip gloss. After the make-up, everyone got into their nice clothing and have a bit of cam-whoring.

At 2.30pm, we headed out to Typhoon Studio Krokop Branch. The appointment was at 3pm and we arrived earlier than planned. The whole photo-taking session took less than an hour to complete. They took one whole family poses, Hubby and wifey pose, three-kids poses, and individual poses. This session costs RM100.

The developing of the chosen photos costs around RM1000+ which kills off whatever desire in me to have a family portrait taken as well.

After the photo-taking, we all squeezed in my Nilam Blue Wira and headed to the bus station to enquire about the departure time for Bintulu.

Sob~! Tings go to Bintulu which means I will be alone at home. Actually, Yuanz and Dad are here in Miri for the weekends and then JinnWei will be in Miri on Monday so not so lonely la.

Ohye! I promised to bring the Tings to go crabbing when they are in Miri but I havent fulfilled this promise yet. Put a pic here as a reminder la...

I remembered saying that I cant remember what I did. Well, we did go to play badminton twice. They seems to be addicted to badminton.

Apart from that, we also go out to shop as well. Arcade is a must place to visit lor...hehe...

Christmas is just around the corner. I wonder what is there to do during Christmas...



p/s: I passed my CPA 111 Financial Accounting. Phew~! Relief~!

No update?!!

The Tings finally arrived in Miri and although I only saw them the morning after their arrival, I think it made no difference.

Anyway... been hanging with them for so many days and so didnt have time to post any blog... If I want to recall what happen, I am too lazy to..hahah

Okla... lemme think... we went to bowling...haha... The three eldest cousins come over to sleep with me. erm erm....

Gosh... I cant seems to recall le...ohya! I was sick for two days...

Anyway....I try to write more next post...cause right now have to go out again...

Two Days of Leave

Back to work on Tuesday, had lunch at Nine2Five... The place is something like Secret Recipe. It has a nice and comfortable surrounding. I had Mongolian Chicken Boxing Rice, Cangkuk Manis and Spicy Sour Thick Soup.


Had two days off from work... No relaxing time though... Aunt Nora brought her maid over to help me to clean the garden and the backyard. In two days time, we (more like them) cleaned the whole compound and even created an extra orchid area.


Sadly, it was also discovered that the plants are suffering of some kind of fungus disease. I will have to go and find a cure for it before all the plants wither away. It is sort of disgusting-looking.

Brunei Trip

Went to Brunei yesterday...

Decided to show what I bought at Brunei. Actually showing just one of the things I bought. A B$3 charm bracelet. I think I will remove the rubber rose thingy 'cause I dont think it match with the whole bracelet. It has a rustic feel to it and I prefer this more than a clean silver type. I think B$3 is a good deal cause it is only like RM7 and usually stuff like this can cost up to RM20 plus.

Oh! Lunch at Brunei is japanese food at Escapade Sushi ( I hope I remember the name correctly). Not bad. I discovered how much I actually like to eat unagi - the eel.

Death Note... I watched it with Joanna and was really confused when it ended abruptly. After searching it, I found out that it is actually in two parts and so I have to watch the second instalment which should be out this December.

I must be very tired because I slept till 1.30pm today.

Been Busy (kind of)

I told you guys that I got hooked to drinking coffees at night. And so I did... But I didnt went out on the third night and so I am not really completely addicted though I was completely bored to skull. I really enjoyed San Francisco Coffee's quiche. And I miss that cup of Hazelnut Latte I had at Starbucks...

As I am living alone (seems to be dangerous to announce that I am living alone...hehe), I have held a few dinner at my place. Pic one is of a Chinese dinner but it is without any pork. I think I havent have much pork lately including the time in KK. Anyway, the second pic is yet another steamboat and this time the amount of food is controlled.
Apart from that, I watched Death Note with Joanna on Thursday night and she slept over. Which also means that I am not always alone at home. Phew!
I woke up early on Friday morning and went to have breakfast with Joanna. I had the Claypot Porridge and it is really good. Then at night, I went out to hang with Jeng. A promise to hang out at least twice a month. We hang at Siamese Secret which is really nice and we ordered a Tiramisu to share. It was interupted when Jeng discovered that the lamp actually dropped white powder and it dropped into our Tiramisu. Totally freaked us out so it was left half-eaten.
Oh! Want to thank Davis and Irene for the fabulous dinner at Nikko. A complete delicacies torture.
I think I am once again having shopping impulses. Terrible as I am supposed to save my money for play time with cousins.
Impulse One: I bought a RM79 Adidas slippers at KK and I havent regretted it yet.
Impulse Two: I bought a RM18 Nicole top at KK and I havent regretted it too. :P
Impulse Three: I bought a RM35 Vincci wedges at Miri and it will be my working shoes. Shoes are as pic below. What do you think?

Impulse Four: I bought a RM28 Giordano top at Brunei and I am not so sure about it now. :P
Impulse Three: I bought a B$3 charm bracelet at Brunei and I love it. Haha...!

So stop me before it is too late~~!!
