Just blogging around

I just want to wish you well.

2006-11-17T18:17:00.000+08:00

It was depressing when I walked pass the Building 205. The sunshine in the early morning didn't cheer me up, much.

After the paper, we (with another 2 girls) decided to go over. We gave her our prayers.

I softly say a small prayer for her. I hope she get to go a better place even this ending was a bit dramatic.

There were quite a number of people there as well. This was the place, where she ended her last breath.

I overheard some conversation from strangers :"It is impossible... The spot where she jumped down doesn't match where the body lied."

*deep breath* Does it really matter? She is gone. Leave her alone. *sigh*

The uni set up a temporary fence, preventing people from steeping over. I felt a sudden chill when I walked close.. I blinked my eyes couple of time just to stop my tears from falling off..Just before we left, there were more students brought their flowers in....
If you are reading this, please keep her in your prayers. I sincerely appreciate it.

*sadhu.sadhu.sadhu.*

Update: WAH LAU!

2006-11-17T00:41:00.000+08:00

It wasn't rumour. It is a truth about the suicidal thingy.

CLICK HERE

Thanks Kristine for telling me the info from my uni buletin.

So depressing.

She had the chance to study aboard; mind you, still lotsa ppl back home don't to 'get out' from where I from, k?

Hey friends, no matter what situation you are in at the moment..trust me, there are people around you who are in the same boat as well. The one once tried to kill himself, now he is a happy man. The one studying OT and Pharmacy...thinking of digging their own grave.. *I'm sure this will over once exam finished*.. The one with illness... BE STRONG! And keep smiling!!!! :)

It makes me feel like I should (and must) appreciate my life more and more and more.

*amitaba*

WAH LAU!

2006-11-16T12:54:00.000+08:00

A person I know just rang me, asking me to help *h* (don't ask me weather it is a b*tch or a bastard) with this and that.

Did you see that? I don't use the world 'friend'. On earth, people who doen't contact you for months.. they go out partying and having fun with their own kind of people (aka animal) ...They made promises with you and over the frienship.

All the sudden, *bang!!!* after 2 seasons!! [I also finished the whole season of AFL game already loh~!] *H* rang up and said: can you help me with this and that... Note: didn't even bother to insert the world *please*. So, 'boh-ka-see'. (Hokkien dialect: not educated).

Erm...so, shall I be optimistic or what? Because.. I am simply 'useable'? or 'abusebale'???? Because ppl actually think I can actually help them? Interrrrrresting things always happen in this real world, don't you rekcon? =)

Anyway, there was a student comitted suicide in my uni. Scary or not? It happend in Engineering Building. Was that student an engineering student? Nahbeh! If you wanna die, I think pharmacy students deserved to die first, ok? We are in the deepest sh*thole in the world wide sh*thole. *joke* :) I feel sorry for that student. NO ONE deserved to die like that, k? *sigh*

Back to the point, I didn't help *h*.. Because I think I am a muddy boddhi..I would easily get washed out when I cross the river. So, I can't even help myself at this point, how can I offer my help, right?

:p

Non-Buddhism Rant

2006-11-16T00:31:00.000+08:00

Part One:
Conversation between me and JO

Me: eh JO, you know ah.. so many religious ppl ah, always ask me to join them after they 'kinda' know me. But then ah, I have these close friends from my group, they never bother to ask me to go to their Chruch also one? Why ah? *scratch head*

JO: Because.. they friend you, because of who you are.. Not asking you to go to their Church lah! (sam-pat.)

Me: Eh! True also lah. But then hor...Is that because they think Jesus also cannot help me already? That's why they can't be bothered?

JO: That's right! =)

Part Two:
Conversation with SY.

SY: Hey, you come to my temple lah!

Me: what for la? (thinking: even I knew what you doing over there..you oxymoron, that's not your temple. It is everyone's temple. Duh! Buddhism doesn't use 'my', 'mine', 'you','yours'...)

SY: Our temple very nice one.. we serve free vegeterian food.. we pray.. we *bla bla bla* ..
[me pretended listening....]
: It is very nice one!

Me: REALLY AH?

SY: Of course! You see ah.. like me. I stay by myself, I don't cook well, so I go to temple during weekend, I can get free vegetarian food! Very nice! You should come with me also.

Me: [acting look like very impressed] WAH LAU!!!! I eat meat everyday.. You ask me to go temple eat Vege? what?? VEGE??? Hello???? You want me to go on DETOX issit?

SY: er..er..er... *try to think something to say* er..er..er..

Me: eh! say something la! I want to know about your temple! =)

I am Buddhist. Er.. Cross that, for time being. I prefer to say it in this way: I learn Buddhism.

I know quite abit as I started when I was quite young. But, I didn't put much into practice. Or maybe I did, but I couldn't tell what's right and what's wrong. I was a complete nerd, I knew the rules, I can memorise the prayers (still do), I read approximately 200 books in a year.. But, I know nothing. Not till I moved out from my parents, I started living by myself.. and I opened my eyes....*knock knock knock*: Welcome to the real world, babe~!

I have nothing against anyone come up and tell me, I am Buddhist, Christian or whatever. I think it is very good in what you believe in. These ppl.. I mean, Buddha la, Jesus la, Allah la.. As long as you are in the right path, I reckon that's the way to go. At ALL time, all the time.. Jesus/Buddha/Allah/Whoever-I-Missed-Out.. They cannot be wrong one, ok? They already in "heaven". The ones who always make mistake is US! WE! (and me) Nahbeh! Not true meh? If we always right, very very sin-free.. I probably writting this blog in Amitaba's world. I, me..achieve nirvana. Hahah!

Back to what I wanted to say...

The problem is, some oxymorons think religion is a BRAND or a LABEL. Like a bag.. got Prada lah, Gucci lah.. *slap forehead* They think if they are 'whatever brand'.. They are very 'expensive'. ~~tiu!~~ They like to show off, telling the whole world, what they do..how much $$$ they donote *so what?* ..on the other hand..they curse their enemy crashing the tree trunk when they driving!!! WTH? I tell you ah.. I wanna slap this mofo if I see anyone like this. =.='''

No matter what we believe in..how we learn from a person; the moment we 'label' ourselves as a religious person.. we should feel HOLY. *my personal opinion* k? ;)

Yeah! So.... I guess I better STFU, and stop talking nothing..and go back to my study .. and 'hug Buddha' legs' (see note 1).. otherwise, I damn sure I will be going to hell!!!!!!

Buddha bless me~ and you all! Cheers~!!!

note 1: "hug Buddha' legs" is an old Chinese saying, meaning, rushing at last-minute work.

Summer is just around the corner. The sun rise very very early in the morning. Maybe 4-5am.
The weather is warm and very lack of humidity, I shall say.

There is no reason to sleep in during summer time, 'cause everyday is a beautiful day. Erm..wait till the Parliament announcing Daylight saving in Perth ...meanning we have extended period of time getting more sunshine!

Yay! Bring the daylight saving to Perth! :)

又一個三毛

2006-11-11T12:15:00.000+08:00

Pre-Post:
三毛 (san mao) was a Taiwanese writter who travelled alot when she was alive. She wrote plenty of books. I was once in love with her stories, her love toward everything she did in the past. Nah! It put up a full-stop real quick when I (personally) realised she was so depressed. Today, I still think that she was killed by depression--even she wrote beautiful stories, I had the vibe she intended to create a beautiful world, and she was happily lived in her own imagination after her husband past away.

三毛 reminded my friend, Yawei, or probably the other way around. Yawei is my hometown old friend whom I knew 13 years ago. I knew her when I was in local Buddhist Youth Society. She was and she is still inspiring. We haven't spoken to each other till recently she get hold on me thru' internet. OMGB (B=Buddha) I just can't believe it.

She is working as a nurse in Saudi Arabia. This remind me of 三毛.. as in the travelling bits. And it does remind me of myself for haven't been home for 10 years. Home, is like a temporary stopping point:--meeting family, unpacking and packing up then leave (again). Most of the time, I have no clue where I would ended to be the next day morning.

It has been awhile. It is a long journey, and this is how far we go and keep going. and keep going.

For my dear family back home, for Yawei, for三毛, for me.... I Love You.

Quick Meal

2006-11-09T13:35:00.000+08:00

I've been busy. I'm finding the time to fit in my studies, swimming, tv programme *ahem*, cooking in one day. Mind you, I still have some housework to do.
Multi-task is not easy.

But then, I still enjoy cooking..looking up some new receipes. Cooking is enjoyable. It helps me to relax. Putting everything behind the mind; cutting vege, chopping garlic --the aroma of the kitchen is priceless.

Today, I'm gonna show you a simple dish--baked fish with vege and muchroom.
Preparation time: 5min. (no joke)

All you need is:
1. fish fillet
2. bean--u can use any green vegetable, but it will alter the cooking time.
3. chinese mushroom. I use the dark-umbrella mushroom ad it will give the intense aroma. =) Broth:
Simply heat up half cup of chicken stock, 2 table spoon of oyster-souce, add abit of pepper, and some ginger. Oil is not required.
If you want to add extra aroma, use sesame oil. ;)

Pour to the dish. Cook it in the oven at 200 degree celcius for 20 min.
NB: cooking temperature and time may varies from different oven.

Ta dah~!
Kian loves this fish dish. It is simple and tasty. In fact, we are going to have it again this weekend.

By the way, this dish best served with white rice. *wink*

Of Freo Fish And Chipz

2006-11-07T21:04:00.000+08:00

I had been burrying myself with words, complicated theories...loads of memorising work.
Cramp, Cramp, Cramp.
Hugging Buddha' legs..
Aw man! My got myself into these big swollen eye bags. They are way beyond conseallor can repair. *sob sob*

I needed some fresh air; called up few friends..heading to Freo.

Still surviving and
Still smiling...
The background

The usual suspects..to be more specific:
the partners in crime ;P

Kian, Robert..

Jo
Cam-Ho-ring is stress relieving.

Jo: eh, where should we looking at? the optical zoom or the screen?

Me: I don't know. =)Me: Never mind. Try another one.

Nice. ;)

Lee Suan with emo glasses. *trying hard to ignore my obsession toward camhoring* ^.^
Robert-- rising eyebrows.

He has bigger panda eyes. Don't tell me you don't know who is he. :D

*heart* Kian =)

Another one of my panda eyes..

Aw man! I give up thinking of it.

The more I inspect, I realise my skin got scarring for don't-know-what reasons.

Menthol-flavoured fresh air, Collin St, Freo, Coffee, Cakes, Friends = Priceless.

Alternative Hair Treatment

2006-11-06T00:12:00.000+08:00

Aw man! I realised in my hair has been discoloured abit lately. The end root of the hair has become brownish, and in texture wise, they are unusually rough. *sob sob* This is because I go swimming 2-3 times a week, and I swim an-hour for each session. Long term exposure my hair to chlorinated-pool ruinning my hair~! argh! Bloody chlorine! =(

I musta admit: I love my hair. :)
I can shamelessly show off my smooth and silky hair in the middle of nowhere. If I think you are kind enough and your hand is clean, I would generous enough to let you feel my hair. Yes, that's how crazy I am when I talk about my hair. =)

I have a reason for it thou. *ahem* I didn't get to keep long hair when I lived with my parents, or to be more specific, when I was in back home. My dad thinks short hair is better, and the weather back home is humid (and crazy). Long hair wasn't appropriate for me because I was a girl scout, I was constantly involved in all sort of out-door, in-jungle and in-forest activities. So, obviously short hair was a better choice back then.

Looking at my discoloured hair...Not happy! The simple solution is to chop the end bit off. But, there is always a method to resolve it before using cutting them off.

You need 2 tablets of dispersible or soluble aspirin.

And some tomatoes--approximately 2-3, depend the size. Blend them into juice.
Simply disperse the aspirin tablets in the freshly blended tomato juice.
Pre-shampoo hair then carefully wet the hair with tomato juice and aspirin mixture; leave it for 10-15 minutes.

Yeah lah! I know lah! My hair look like spaghetti bolognese. =)

Rinse off the tomato residues ;P, shampoo and conditioner hair as usual.

The result:

Erm, you probably can't see it clearly here. But I tell you, 80% of the black colour has been restored. I am soooo happy!!! The root is not rough anymore. I am soooo soooo HAPPY!

I don't know how to explain the mechanism of action of the tomato+aspirin; anyway, I was told by a hair-dresser, this is what she does. She uses this method to get rid of excessive chlorine (excessive bleaching) in the hair. It works fabulously! I highly recommend to everyone =)

Cheerio!

Little Britain Fever (?)

2006-11-03T22:32:00.000+08:00

Today is the very last day of this semester. Last lecture, last presentation.. Everything has finally come to the final. *phew*

I am so excited for this to end 'cause I can't wait till Summer.
I have so so so many things to do. I am going to work till my head off...* sniff sniff $.$ * I am flying off to East and I am going to watch Little Britain (LB) Live. I will be seeing my girlfriends, I will meet up with loads of new people. I will be cathing up with more swimming sessions, I will watch Little Britain again in Perth by the end of Summer. *huh* =)

I had very last Pharmaceutical Chemistry lecture today as well. My lecture, P* is a huge huge fan of Little Britain. He always use Andy and Lou pictures and soundclip in the background or lecture presentation.

"yeah, I know!" "I want that one!" "I don't like him"....IHow cool is that? It is sooo awesome and I rekcon he is the coolest lecture I had, ever!!

p/s: please note that I think he is great when he uses plenty of Little Britain characters, not when he hasn't being generous on my test paper mark. ;) i.e the word "awesome', 'great' are subject to different conditions. Hehehe

Till the the very last 10-15minutes, P* played this huge slide with Andy and Lou (!!!) again! =) with Little Britain's theme music for the background. Oh dear! I was soooo happy. Part of my mind was thinking:"oh my! I am so going to see Little Britain"; the other part of my brain was like.."erm, time flies quickly, I can't believe this is it!"..and between the thinking and day dreaming..I think he is really really nice. P* might look superb cool/cold on the outside, deep down, he is very different.

At the very very end, P* made a little speech, wishing we all bla bla bla...just like other lectures, But P* obviously is cooler with And and Lou at the back.

This time, he played 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol.

At the moment, I was struggling to hold my tears back. I wasn't sure why. I tried not to look into my girlfriends' with some crystal droplets in my eyes . The song remind me of the ending of the last episode of Grey's Anatomy..it was depressing. The ending of the last class certainly was the best and it definitely brought back lotsa memories at that time.

When I thought the ending could lead to better tomorrow, I just realised there are countless uncertainities after that moment. I'm not sure what's coming up next. I can't tell what's gonna happen tomorrow, day after....

But one thing for sure, I will miss Andy and Lou in lectures, and I will definitely miss P*

Thank you, P* !!

Hardcore

2006-11-02T00:08:00.000+08:00

2006-10-31T01:44:00.000+08:00

I haven't done much today. Bloody Monday.

I spend most of the time looking of Little Britain Live, Perth. I managed to put my name down in waitlist for 2 tickets. I am insane. I just bought a platinum ticket in Melbourne, and now I'm getting 2 passes for the one in Perth. And guess what? The performance date is not even confirmed yet!! After all, I just want to watch with Kian. ;) I'm sooo excited. Still, very. Sometimes I get to asked my other people: are you bipolar?
Erm..my answer is close to yes. But minus the depression bit. I have problem bringing my adrenaline level down.

Anyway, I've replied 99.99% of the comments. Sorry for being slack.

p/s: I will post my cooking post next time--I've couple of them, yet I haven't got the time to organise 'em.

Till then...have a nicer week ahead.

p/p/s: in case you miss me.. I post my picture here. =) Haha

p/p/s: I am still so happy for the tickets. Wish me luck, I need 2 more best seats for LB Live in Perth.

Ignore The Previous Post

2006-10-29T15:15:00.000+08:00

Yeah. Desperate No More.

Because I already bought a platinum ticket to Little Britain Live in Melbourne.

Nice~!

The shiok-ness, the excitement, the high-ness....no words can describe man!

I'm so going to see my men!

Ah! I am soooo coming! ;)

Desperately Need HELP!!!

2006-10-29T13:14:00.000+08:00

I need your help, please. I am begging you. *tears*

All you need to do is:
1. hook up for a partner for me ; that person has to pay for him/herself
or
2. get ONE ticket for me.

I want A ticket for Little Brittain Live in Melbourne. Please!!! I want to see "I want that one'-Andy and Lou, "I'm the only gay in the village"-Dffyd, The Lady Emily Howard.. Please!

I look thru all over Ebay, and they all sell the tickets in pairs! ~~knnccb!~~ All concert or performance must go in couple one meh? What do you rekcon?

Do you think I should just buy the TWO tickets and re-sell one of them?

I know you probably asking me why Kian is not going.. duh! He is working by that time.

By the way, do you think I should spend AUD250 for Little Britain? Mind you, I was nearly throwing out more than that for one seat. I know, I am insane. I already damn broke, ok? But I really want to go over and see Little Britain!!!

Only you can understand and feel my obsession toward British comedy. I love Gervais as much as Andy--ops! now you know I like chubby comedians. ;)

Please!!!

Aw man!! This is sooooo potong steam/frustrating... the feeling is exactly like you half way eating double choc ice-cream or half way enjoying ~~sex~~ watching nice comedy..and people just take off your enjoyment out of nowhere.

And I'm telling you.. I am bloody desperate, and I want that one!!!!!!

Slow and Steady

2006-10-28T22:59:00.000+08:00

My boyfriend current obsession: Utopia.
He asked me to log in his Utopia account to train his bloooooody armies when he was at work.

My reaction was cleary like this: =.='''

But think again..I think he is so cute. ;)

Thai-Corner Restaurant, Applecross

2006-10-25T00:23:00.000+08:00

We had dinner at Thai-Corner Restaurant. It was distinctly different from other Asian restaurant---Very Thai!
And I am bloody serious.
Just look at the decoration.. they place Buddha'heads everywhere. The Buddha heads..erm, they are the Thai version, not those Indian ones. Indian Buddha heads are more 'Zen'. So, this is Thai, definitely Thai. Thai Buddha heads also have a pyramidstic 'hat'. So Thai, eh?

Sometimes, it is just make me wanna laugh seeing people use Buddha heads as decoration in their house and restaurant. Poor Buddha. Have to see people (pseudo-pure Buddhist)like me eating meat on purpose, stealing my bf food when he went to bathroom. ;) Very sinful.

To be honest, I pretty much like the idea people use Buddhas everywhere. Back in many many years ago, Buddha statues were used as a sign/mark to remind people to practice His teaching. Simple as that. But then, when Buddhism penetrated China..and mixed with Taoism, Ru-ism etc etc...People starting 'praying' Buddha. Eh! so not quite right. So, if you see people praying, putting their forehead on the dirty floor...in Buddhism, the intention is to reduce ones arragont, hoping that person will show more respect to the others. However, if a person who is able to place their forehead right infront the dead statue, and he doesn't even show some respect to their own parents, and family. OK! Please go eat shit and die! It is a message from me, not Buddha. =) Ok, back to the restaurant.
The owner even puts up their King and Queen potrait at the entry of the restaurant. See! Typical Thai people. Even Aussie won't use Haword's potrait, Malaysian won't use Pak Lah's big face.. ok? ;)

By the way, even the cutleries they provided to customers have Buddha face on it.

Hello, Amitaba! How are you? You know what, Your half-closed eyes...people always think your are sleeping. Duh! They don't know you are actually looking into your Your heart. ;)

Let's the SIN begins......yeah babe!

The starter of the sin was this dumpling. The skin (wrapping) was finely cooked and done. No powderish residue. The thin edge is light and crunky. It served with their special sauce.

The deeper side of the sin--chicken breast meat, prawn, peanut, carrot and other vegetable. To my suprise, this sin is yummidelicious! And I like it.
Ok..the next sin is Tom Yum Soup with plenty of chunky seafood such as prawn and cutter fish. And one thing I hate about this sin is, they use fishball. So cheapo! The sin tasted not bad. But I cannot answer how Thai the sin is..'cos I personally never tried the real Thai food before, so I cannot judge the authenticality of this particular sin. If they use fishball in this sin, I would give them 77%--which is a high mark from me =)

The main sin, which is also their specialty--Curry Jungle.
According to the waitperson, this is the most spicy food in their menu. How sinfood is that? I need some spices at the moment to dry up my runny nose and congestant. Yes, you hear me--chilli can be use therapeutically for some sinusitis symptoms.
This is a real sin--stir fry seafood with lotsa sinful herbs, and I really love this sin. If you are a big fan of basil, mints and other sinherbs..this is highly recommended by cynth.

It is one of the best sins I've experienced so far. The serve was great too-- veru friendly waiters and waitresses. Yes, only waiter, and waitresses..No the ones in-between, "50%50%" Ooops! I have to take my word back..if there is no 'in-between' ..erm..meanning the restaurant is not so Thai anymore right? ;)

Hahahahahah!

Now...this is sinful! ;P

Pink, It's The New Black

2006-10-22T21:50:00.000+08:00

I had this the other day:
Erm... Pink(!)
Yes, it is for:
and....
Pink always associated with:
And it looks like this in the inside:

Very very sweeet. Just like me ;)

Sense Lah (!)

2006-10-18T01:34:00.000+08:00

Yep! You hear (see) it.. The restaurant is called 'Sense Lah'. The sign board doen't come with the '!'.. I had itchy hand..I just added in for fun. Mind you, the effect is somewhat abit '!'..Penang? ;) I like the creativity of the owner.. How on earth they can call their business : Sensa Lah.
Sense Lah! Eat Lah! Drink Lah! How the hell I know Lah?? ;)

Lah! Lah! Lah! Cool?

I think I Lah enough. =) Anyway, Thanks to Penang Rodney who introduced this Penang style eating place. Sense Lah is located in Malaga (not Penang). Approximately 35-40minutes from my house. It is worth it for that kind of distance and time, I guess.

Sense Lah is family based business; it is managed by a family originally from Ayer Itam (Penang Island). Yes, you hear me.. Originally from Penang. Their food, attitute, friendliness, Hokkien, ...all very Penang lah, I tell you. ;)

I stood outside the restaurant, and I took the damn picture of the signboard, the Penang boss already gave me that kind of very Penang look. Nahbeh! So what? Penang very big time lah?

Anyway, Sense Lah has very unique and Penang style of menu. The Penang origin boss uses a mobile PC, with his very Penang food pictures. walking around and showing people the food they serve to non-Penang customers. How Penang is that? ;) Two non-Penang dudes and one Penang hot chick checking out very Penang menu on Penang laptop. Very Penang right? ;)

I think I'm in love with Penang.

Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang.Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang.Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang. Penang....

The Penang boss even use Penang paper, stick his email address on his Penang laptop. How Penang that can be? senselah[at]hotmail.com.

And have a closer Penang look, it has a Penang smiley there as well. Penang... cool rite?
We orderd approximateky 5 or 6 dishes to share among 4 people-- Penang Assam Laksa, 2x Penang Char Keow Tiaw, Penang Loh mee, Penang Prawn Noodle, Penang Wonton Mee, Penang Ice Kacang...

We scared the Penang boss' Penang ass off mann! =) The Penang boss said: You all cannot finish one..

*ahem* Excuse me, Mr Penang Boss.. We all love Penang food. ;)

Like I just said, we had so many Penang dishes, but guess what? I only managed to take 2 non-Penang style food pictures. Thanks to that Penang boss, who think ALL his Penang food is his (penang) copyright. And guess what? I told him I want to blog about it, he did even ask me: What blog?

Told you!!!! The boss is damn Penang right ?=.='''

The Penang boss practically stood next to half-Penang me, and added: Oh! You can only take the pictures when you stir the Penang laksa and other Penang food.

(p/s: he didn't actually use so many Penangs, I just technically add more Penangs in 'cos I really love Penang)

Soooo..there you go~!!!

after-stirred Penang Laksa.

After-stirred Penang Char Keow Tiaw.
The rest of the Penang? I can't even be bothered.

I think the Penang CKW is very yummie, it is a must-go-and try. Penang Laksa also very nice, comparing to original Ayer Itam market one.. I would say the one next to longkang (drainage system) one is better lah!The Penang Won Ton noodle also nice, it has very unique and smooth texture. Worth to try.

Penang hawker food is very nice, seriously. I spend most of my childhood in Penang, my whole family members were born in Penang (except me from Perak), so we all are very particular and very high demanding when come to Penang food.

So, if you want to eat very yummidelicious Penang Char Keow Tiaw.. go PENANG LAH!!

Nope. I mean, go Sense Lah (if only you are in Perth).

Make sense ah? =)

Sunday Big Breakfast

2006-10-15T13:30:00.000+08:00

Yep! When I say BIG BREAKFAST.. I mean it.
This is nothing compared to my previous ones. I already taken out toasted wholemeal bread, baked beans, grilled totamoed sprinkled with rosemary. =) This is the killer. I bought this from Lenard's butcher. It is slightly expensive comapred to beef sausages. But, it is worth for the money I paid for.
Sinfully delicious bacon. Don't remove the fat bits when you grill it, 'cause the fat is the essential flavour ;) If you don't eat the fat or skin bits, remove it after you cook it. =)
Actually, the selling point for today is the boiled eggs. Eddie the cooknengr ( click here teach me how to boil this egg sometimes ago.)

Ed did add abit of vinegar to prevent the egg from breaking off. Tada! Un-break-able~!
Slightly poke the middle bit....
Fulamak!!!!!!

Nice eh? No fully-cooked bit innit. Smooth and sophisicated boiled egg I've tasted eva. ;)

p/s: It does need a bit of skill.. I was abit panic when I boiled the egg in water.. phew~! I shall do more practice. *smile*

Are you a big fan of advertisement? =) Or most of the time, instead of watching those ads, you will run to the kitchen, boiling water for coffee/tea. Or maybe commercial break turns out to be toilet break ... or ?? :P Ermm... updating blogs? Maybe? ^^

To be honest, I am a big fan of advertisement. I am so hooked sometimes. I like watching the funny ones, artistic ones. When I am not really watching telly, my focus is always on the ads. And you know what? Australia has very very great ads! Their sense of humor, and jokes ay, it makes me laugh all day. :)

I've got these ads from youtube.com. It is rated as aussie fav ad in ACA recently.
Thanks to those people who put it up, so I can share with you guys. By the way, Bigpond Broadband is Telstra's product; and Telstra is Australia biggest telecommunication company. Just in case you are wondering. =)

I love this one the best; so far, this is my all-time favorite. I've had seen this gazzilion times.. and I'm still laughing. ;)

It is bloody genius for 31 seconds ad, don't cha think? ;)

Kid: dad, why did they build the Great Wall of China? Dad:That was during the year, the time of Emperior of Nasi Goreng, and the..to keep the rabbits here...too many rabbits in China.

Because You're Worth It

2006-10-14T00:10:00.000+08:00

I have this very optimistic point of view. Erm, maybe it is quite bimbotic. I am not too sure weather I am being optimistic or bimbotic most of the time. :) But, anyway..
I have a friend of mine recently told me: "Hey! I heard you going to France next year!" Ah? What the fxxk? I'm going to France? What for?
She even kindly explained to me why the 'rumour' has been going around, and what's all about. My respond was : WOW! I'm impressed. I am worth for you people to ~~bitch~~ talk about. :) p/s:The 'rumour' is not reputution damaging, anyway. But yeah, there are people actually talking things behind me. Erm.

So, *clear the throat* my dear readers, if you are still reading this, and haven't click the 'X' on the top right corner, thanks for listening. :)

You know what.. if, if, if, if... IF there are ppl ever BITCH, TALK about you...way beyond your knowledge..spreading rumours, either good or bad..I tell you what? CONGRATULATION!!!! Because you are worth it, babe! =)

Ok, let's think of it. You musta done something extremely outstanding or something very bad..that either good/bad enough to let the others talk about you, right? If not, who cares about you? If you did nothing at all.. and even you died in the middle of no where.. and still no bloody cares.. I really feel sorry for you. ;P because you are so not worth it. *sigh*

Don't blame ppl why they flame you, not her.. because..You are damn bloody worth it, and ppl love you! =)

From my personal experience, I had came acrossed ppl b*tch about my breast. Yeah, those are asian (chinese) biatch. That biatch said: wah! look at her *ahem*..so big. And the other girl..OMG, her skirt is ugly.. and bla bla bla...
I heard that there and then..I walked to her and said: Excuse me, if my cup size is as small as yours, I would jump down from Bank West Tower! Mind you, mine are free. You probably need more tissue papers to fill up your cups.

See! I don't understand why on earth she likes to comment on others before she looked at hers? Ah! I know why? Because I am worth it. =) By the way, the girl who bitched about others ppl is still a single. Hahaha! Karma is a bitch! =)

I am a very quite person in my offline-life. *ahem*. So, I don't really come across much rumours. If I ever did.. those ppl were mainly m'sia international students who eat full nothing to do. They went to my friendster..yes, I don't use the anonymous thingy, so I know who is interested in me =) See! I am worth it for a person who doen't really like me (and spread stupid rumour) to view me.. checking out what I've done recently; or just because that son of the bitch has no fucking life? I don't know. But either way.. I just know I am worth it. =)

I take both rumour and compliment as 'nothing'. This is life. My advise is: don't give a sh*t. Frankly, I used to care so much..But now? 'Whatever' is my answer. ;) I'm so 'amitabha' eh? Haha

But again, if you know those ppl and shit-stirrers.. tell them: ~~Wank~~ Thank you very much for paying attention. :)

You know you are worth it! ;P

--End of Rant--

p/s: if you finished reading this post, a *mwah* from me. :)

Have a laugh, will ya?

2006-10-12T10:38:00.000+08:00

I know you probably seen this video clip before in youtube.com, but hey! I know I am abit slow. But anyway, if you haven't seen this.. go ahead now! And you bloody make sure you are not eating right infront your computer screen..if you puke infront your PC, not my responsibility. =)

Have a nice day! Cheers~! :)

Curtin University Pasar Malam 2006

2006-10-08T00:15:00.000+08:00

Hello everybody! Welcome to Curtin Pasar Malam~! =) I teamed up with my friends (Jon, LS, Kikilala, EC, Dave) to check out this event. I tell you what, this is how it looks like when I stood in the middle of the crowd. Turn left, see ppl. Turn right, also see ppl. Turn in 360 degree...everywhere was jampacked with people. Wah lau! Thank Buddha, when I looked up the sky, the moon was damn bright, ok?
Yes, I know I am very late..anyway, Happy Belated Mid-Autumn Festival!! =)

Pasar Malam is a fantastic event in Curtin, as long as you don't complain and b*itch about it. ;) There are plenty of asian food--laksa, Penang char keow tiaw, poh piah, kuih, murtabak, wonton mee, jelly mooncake, shushi. ... u name it,mannn!

It is not hard to tell what food is popular and what it not. Just look at the Q.. this one is damn bloody long one, meaning the food 'should be' yummie. =)

I went around and took pictures everywhere; at that time, I didn't feel like eating much 'cos of the food wasn't really tempting. And most of them are bloody overpriced. Wah lau! Anyway, maybe they are not overpriced, it is just me being 'kiam siap' (stingy) 'cos I am damn broke. I need to drake so many people with me, hopefully my friends will treat me. *ahem* ;)

Anyway, I took quite a few pictures. Let's check it out, shall we?

These 2 girls are from my school. They were selling lotsa food, including beet filling bun. They are very friendly. When I rate them 'friendly'..erm..I mean it! They were happily pose for me. On top of that, they didn't mind I don't buy their food even we know each other. I know lah, OK? I wasn't giving face to them.. but what you expect? I just wanted the meat filing, I don't want the bun.. ;(

This is one of the dude who is bbq-ing kebab meat. Seriously, damn hot! I mean..the chicken lah!! You people! =)

Another store with ~~hot~~ chicks. Erm.. They were damn scared when they see my camera. Or it was ME that scared their sh*t off? *haha* Anyway, girls.. I was just wanting to take the picture of the lanterns, not the people. *ahem* So, don't think my bf, or Jon wanted your pictures, ok? Cheers!

These are my friends too.. they were selling vegetarian food. They didn't even ask me to buy their food 'cos they know I am a meat-lover. See!!! This is what I call good friend. Hahah! What a sukka, eh? I am sure their food is yummie 'cos I do like vegetarian...like once in a blue (bright) moon? or when I feel holy? ;) *Amitabha*

Oh! There was a store which even use Malaysia flag ..very Malaysian indeed. *salute*

Nahbeh! Why don't they charge us in RM (Ringgit Malaysia) instead of Aussie dollar? ;)
Like I said before..Pasar Malam could be a very great night out, as long as I you don't complain. =)

There was another store as well.. with mini Malaysia flag. This store was ran by MASCA (Malaysia Students' Council of Australia)

What actually caught my attention was the two dudes who were frying keow teow with very very low heat. It is abit the wrong. But then again, you ppl always say : men who cook are sexy. =) so..whatever la, ok?

LOOK!!! Who is this!? It's Kristine!!!! From "gazooie.wordpress.com" ! Wah lau! Finally I gotta see her in Pasar Malam. Thank to the Full Moon.. ;)

Those are pictures I took with friends that I bumped into that night. Seriously, I see so many people that I think I am kinda know. I wish I could stop by for 1 minute or so.. to say HELLO, to give a hug. But seriously, I had to follow the rest of the people. If I lost in the middle of no where.. it is not goingto be easy to find me.. cos I am damn short, not easily spotted. =)

I wanted to take pictures with alot of them too.. but, damn it! My camera battries were running low. :( But, to be honest, I did bump into people I know, but I can't be bothered to take picture with them. And for some people.. I even pretend I did not see them at all. I know, I am a bitch! =)

Eh! Life is damn f**king short OK!? You don't want to waste your time hanging around with them.. do what they are doing--wearing a fake mask, fake smile, fake sincerity, fake chit-chat, fake boobs..ops. Yeah..they are FAKE!!! So, my advise is: don't be farking bothered. =) *hehe*

This is my friend, Dav and his mum and aunty. Dav's mum is very very very funny.

I asked her to take a picture with me. See! She immediately look at my camera screen..and smile~! How cool is that? :)
This is my school friend. We don't speak much in the class 'cos she is very quite or maybe she doesn't really get the chance to talk when I am around (?) because I am very keh-poh(talkactive). But you can tell she has that absolute 'sincerity' that make ppl around her comfy. This is like a piece of gold in my school, ok? =)
"Jon! Hurry up lah! Take picture for us..I am eating"

"Honey! Look! Look at the camera please! Eh! Dun forget to smile ah!"

I could feel the whole Pasar Malam appeared to be more hectic, crowded when I was there. =) This is my group mate from my school. She was voluntering at Pasar Malam.

Me and bbq baby octopus.
It is yummie. But I think it is abit overpriced. =) Erm, why I am complaining? I didn't pay for that, did I? Haha!
Ah! last but not least.. I have 2 video clips here.

The first one is an ang moh chick doing belly dancing. It might be a bit dark. But still hawt.

This is 2nd video clip. That singer eh, duno make how many girls screamed like ghost. So bloody scary and 'geli'. Hang on! Erm, I am not so sure weather they scream because of full moon or because of him? anyway, I am not one of them. I swear to Buddha I didn't scream, OK! I am not those 'beh hiao pai seh' (duno how to shy)-type of girl. I have a bf one, ok? =) If he is Ricky Gervais.. yeah, I will cheer and shout my lungs out. Too bad, he is not.

Anyway, I reckon the guitarist is ~~hotter~~ more watch-able. He plays the guitar with his full emotion..he is so into it. That kind of 'look' makes a musician look even sexier.

Ok dokie.. this is a long post for me. abit like marathon. 1-hour non-stop swimming also easier than this.

Hope you all will like the pictures and video clips. I wanna watch dvd with Kian now. Tee hee hee. :)

*sweet dream*

Kian and Queen's birthday

2006-10-02T18:45:00.000+08:00

I just found out today is Queen's birthday as well. Ha! Luckily I didn't completely take my boyfriend's word for it, 'cos he told me the public holiday is for him, and I nearly trusted him. Nearly. Pffft.

I didn't finish till 1, by the time I got home, it was already 2 or so. I asked Kian to pick a place for lunch/hightea.. so, we ended up in Dome located at Mends St, Mill Point.

We picked a small table closes to the window. And enjoyed a little bit of afternoon sunshine.Choosing an item from menu never seem to be any easy. I don't know why. I did most of the talking, as usual. I tell Kian everything. What had happened in the morning when I was out. I tell him I am thinking going to Perth tomorrow 'cos I want to see Ben Cousins in the parade. I want to shout his name out loud so he can see me and wave at me :) Nah! That's just a joke.
I am not that talkactive one, you know? ;) it is just Kian. He is down with the cold. Anyway, he is a man with very very few words. My aunty said to me before: Wah! If your young man open mouth and talk more ah, it's like I can see gold nuggets dropping of from his mouth one leh!
Yes, I know. Man with few words, yet he has the brain that function superbly well. =)O, these two pictures are my favorite of the day. Interesting. When the teaspoon was served with the Latte, it reflects Kian. When I flipped it to other way, it has me in there! Genius. ;)Kian had tandori chicken bread roll. He said it is nice. Of course! It was my suggestion, ok? =) I am not sure how he defines 'nice'. Or maybe he was too hungry? or maybe he couldn't taste it well? or maybe... Bah, I just marking around. It IS nice ;p I ordered a bowl of chunky soup, I think it is called minestraine or something. I had only a few mouthfull. Not very into the mood. It is not the soup fault. It IS me.
Kian's drink. Believe it or not, I didn't pinch his yummie drink either. No, I lied. I did pinch. But only very very little. I normally steal his food completely from him especially the yummie ones. I seriously think it IS my problem for not eating the chunky chocolate flakes.

We spent the rest of an hour or so reading magazine. And I still do the talking, as usual.

Bits and pieces. Here and there. With abit leftover of the sunshine.

Love Letter

2006-10-02T01:12:00.000+08:00

Dear my boyfriend:

FYI, I don't normally make a special post for people, unless it is a tribute for someone I like past away, *touch wood* Anyway, today is exception, because it is your b'day. Don't say I never give you face, Ok? :)

I am so sorry I didn't wish you at 12am sharp because you were on the phone with your mum. See! It is ALL your mum's fault! She shouldn't call you one minute earlier. It just makes my 'wish' less special or not that loving. ~~nahbeh~~

Hey boyfriend, since it is YOUR birthday, can you please say something? Like what you want for present? I can buy you a lunch. But, please consider my financial status, can? I already spend AUD700 last week.. plus today is public holiday, all the restaurants surcharge here and there. So, please don't choose expensive eating place, if you really love me, ok? :) I really appreciate if you can suggest a place rather than me and Jo thinking for 30min over the phone, and we ended up go nowhere.

I was thinking of buying a Nintendo gameboy thingy for your b'day, since you collect them since you were little. But you were saying the Nintendo thingy is getting out of date or something..nahbeh! This is so annoying OK? I am the one don't get to play. sien!

Anyway, I just wanna wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and all the best..as usual! ;)

Your caring, loving, seriously-sweetheart girlfriend
ME
=)

AFL Grand Final WInner: West Coast Eagles

2006-09-30T23:59:00.000+08:00

WOOHOO!!!!! I am so happy! Not just so happy.. is SO DAMN HAPPY!!! OK? ;)

J. Woosha (coach) and C. Juddy (Captain) with the Cup. *sweet*

After all, my prediction was right: Last year, Ben Cousins won the Brownlow Medal, and Sydeny Swan won the Grand Final; This year, Adam Goddes wins the Brownlow Medal, and West Coast Eagles wins the Grand Final!!
Awwwwwesome!!! How perfect my prediction can be. =) Damn it! I didn't put my money in the TAB, otherwise I might win some money for next week lunch. =.='''

I didn't go down to the pub like I did last year, 'cos I had to work. Therefore, no fancy dress up, no fancy food for the game. But, I did tie up two small pony tails, with one yellow and one blue lucky bands. Ha! My moral support for Eagles. :) The colours of WCE: Yellow and Blue

This is Ben Cousins, the ex captain. Even most of the people think Chris Judd plays better than him. For me? Whatever! I like Coussie more 'cos he is better looking and he has sexier ass, too! :)

Wah Sai~! The spirit of Eagles mania.

Not too bad for me, actually. I get to watch the game at work..Thanks to the duty manager who brough the tv to work. We screamed like hell. And guess what? I have sorethroat now. *sigh*

I cried few times thru'out the game: when Coussie kicked a goal, when the Eagles scored one point higher than Swan..and of course, when the siren went on! Yes! The siren indicates the end of the game, as well as the winner~! *nice*

Thank God my tears didn't run over my mascara..so I won't look like a crazy fella at work. =)

30th September 2006. AFL Grand Final. MCG.

Winner: West Coast Eagles.

BEST. GAME. EVER!!

p/s: I wanted to give away my collection card which got 2 Eagles players autographs click here ..Oooops! Sorry, I take my word back. Ekekek.. I just realised I am one of their big fans too, indeed. B*atch~! =)

FEMALE Magazine October Edition

2006-09-29T11:13:00.000+08:00

Why suddenly talk about FEMALE lah? Der~~!!! What else? it is ME!!! IN THERE~! Hello!? :)

Yeah, I know. Unbelieveable. This is my very very first feature in media as a BLOGGER. Hey, I am a BLOGGIE :) Yeah, John-The-Crazy-Pharmacist calls blogger as 'bloggie'. How cool is that? So Aussie eh? Picture=Pixxie, Susan=Suzzie, pants=panzzie, volunteer=vollie, etc etc.. soo Aussie!
Thanking Jon at very very first, 'cos he was the one told me about it. His hardwork (boringness) of continuously F5 PPS. After a minute later, Rojaks Wingz taikor also said: You should do it.

Shortly enough, I leave my detail over there. And guess what? I didn't even know what is FEMALE magazine. Haha! I AM serious! Eh! What do you expect? I am from Bagan Serai, Ok? They don't even sell FEMALE there. I called home already, mum said she can't get it. I asked my godparents, my godfather said: I think I have buy it in KL. SEE~! Bagan Serai is so lau-yiah (out-dated). =)

I keep in touch with Audrey from FEMALE; Robert helped me to take few pictures around Perth (click here). Sent the pictures in, answered some questions. Done. Thanking Robert for taking pictures with me, cracking joke as usual, and and and..he takes good picture, he knows how to hide my fat tummy yet to show off my 'longkang' (cleavage) Ooops ;)

I did ask around among friends especially those from KL: What is FEMALE? Their answer: Wah! You don't know what is FEMALE? It is a BIG thing OK? BIG!
So, to be honest still.. I still cannot imagine how BIG it is...or maybe I could. Wait till I go back Malaysia next next year, then I will figure it out. Bagan Serai is so out-dated, so DO I. *sigh*

There are other four female bloggies featured in FEMALE: Suanie, Bunny Wunny, Jenn Tai and Oliviasy.

Thanking Suanie for sending me the scan images. I sincerely appreciate it. *mwah* :) I did mention this interview to Marcus (mooiness.com), he sorta said something like this: WOW! You are famous! Eh! FEMALE is a monthly magazine, so it is gonna be one-month circulation. Not like the one in local paper, people throw it away after a week or so.

Yeah, I was featured in Perth local paper before as WA AIDS Council vollie (click here) That was 2-weeks thingy. =)

Erm...what a trick question. I am famous? Am I? Maybe from where I from, 'cos they have FEMALE. Not here in Perth. Perth doesn't sell FEMALE. Therefore I shall say the out-dated-ness and lousy-ness is equivalent to my Bagan Serai, eh? :)

Anyway, my point is, I might be 'famous' for 5 minutes or one-month in the magazine, but I still can happily walk down to Murray St, 'cos no one will recognise me. Even I 'pok-kai' also, no one cares. So Perth! =) Today is Friday. Another ordinary Friday. Outdoor temperature is 29 degree celcius.

I've seen these scanned images from FEMALE, now I have extra-unordinary itchy anal, wanting to feel the hard copy of FEMALE, the more the better, and stack them under my pillow, hug them into my dream. Wah lau! How cool is that?

So..can someone mail me a copy of FEMALE please? :)

Thank you.

Weekday Nightout

2006-09-28T12:08:00.000+08:00

I went out last night. Wednesday night. I haven't been out on Wed night for long long time because..erm, I always get tired from studies(?), I always have to study(??), and I am lazy(!!!)

No la! Wednesday night is MY tv night, OK?
Think of it, 6pm onward, Channel NINE news and A Current Affair (ACA)--> Yea lah yea lah! How on earth you don't feed your brain with the updated news and gossips in order to be in the society? Or I just born '8'? :) 7pm onward, switch to Channel TEN, watching Futurama and then my big time favorite stand-up comedy "Thank God You're Here!!". I tell you, I hardly miss that show. 830pm onward, HOUSE MD. Then... switch to Channel SEVEN, whichever crap CSI-wannabe show 'Bone'. Boring...just wanna bring my adrenaline level down and hypnosis myself with 'Bone' =)

So, last night, I missed all the shows, including Terri Irwin special interview with Ray Martin! Hello!!! It is RAY MARTIN!! Hey, I already seen abit of footage of Terri Irwin's interview, I knew she was going to cry, she miss Steve Irwin.. tsk tsk..so DO I. I can't afford to cry no more. Not nice to cry all the time, making the tears look cheap! But, but, but! The interviewer was Ray Martin! aH! He is my favorite aussie journalist :)

OK, whatever it is. The dinner was at Reflections, South Perth. It was not any blogger meet or birthday or whatsoever.Just a dinner. And I didn't even expected sooo many ppl coming. There were 9 in total. Scary number, eh? ;P

The entree was.. taking poctures around the table with the people. Bah! It was Wednesday night, I don't normally stuff myself with so much food, if I could. =)

The one on the right is Kian, my man. The one on the left is Robert, my gf Jo's man. =)

Kiki (nickname) and Jon. Hello!!! How are you? (again) ;)

Nice one, eh?

FYI, I use Canon PowerShot A80 which has a flip-able screen that make selfcam way easier. =) and thru'out these times..I have establish a good skill taking picture with me and my friends in it. Don't believe me huh? Scroll down!!! See for yourself, dude.

Started off with me and Kian. Ah! As usual. Kian's respond: We have ALOT this type of pictures.. but in my defend: WHERE GOT?? THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT ONE LAH! :)

Me and mel. Ta dah! Ok! You know what? I don't like Reflections, that stupid restaurant. They don't use round table like those at home. Cos... in a round dinning table, everybody can see to everybody. And everybody can talk to everybody. In such a long, lengthy, rectangular dinning table.. BAH!!!You think what? I can talk my tongue to another end ah? so anti-social!! Yeah, anti-social is the word for the dinning table. Not the ppl lah! They are nice ppl. Ok! Let's see more nice ppl taking picture with me. =)

This is me and Charmaine. She is willingly possing for me. Hehe, what you expect, blogger knows what a whats. p/s: even she didn't want too, also 'boo huat' i.e : no choice, because I wanted to. *wink wink* This is EC. I know, not everyone can get use to the way I take picture, or he is just being terrified looking himself in the screen? I duno. =)

ah!!! me and Robert. :)
Jon and me. Jon is 17++, he says he wants a 16++ gf. Not a joke.

I took lotsa lotsa pictures with me and Jon, I shall post it next time. :)
Me and kikilala (nickname). I know him thru Robin. Which Robin? DER~!! That blogger Robin lah! Hello~!?
and this is Maybelline. The last one..erm. Not quite.
Back to the starter...me and Kian again. sweet. and as usual. :)

Reflections is a stupid restaurant. Erm, I did use that 'stupid' word before, didn't I? Ok. I rephrase, Reflections is a ^#*&T#&Y#!Y7!y*0+% restaurant. Ah!! Much better. =)

This is what I had. City&Surf. Small portion of steak on chips, with few plastic texture king prawns, side with poor serving of vegetable and un-dressing salad. How ^#*&T#&Y#!Y7!y*0+% is that? and you know what? it cost AUD32.60! Wah lau!! They think what? I use *ahem* print money one ah? My blood, sweat money..I have to stand so long at work, giving people advise..hoping they don't die....*ahem*

I wanna appoogize to the others for mistakenly read that stupid dockets. The buy-one-get-one-free thing is only apply for lunch. Bloody small printings. They cheat ppl, eh! I am soo sorry. When I think back again..ah!! it is a ^#*&T#&Y#!Y7!y*0+% restaurant. And I mean it! =(

After dinner, we switched to Utopia for Bubble Tea. Me and Jon had ice kacang. I show you next time. In the meantime, I steal my Kian's drink--> green-tea smoothie with red bean and coffee-flavored bubble. Bubble..as in bigger size sago. Duh! sago mah sago lah? why need to say Bubble? Bubble is empty..to be more specific: one layer of molecue forming a sphere with NOTHING in there. My theory. Stupid.

Hey! Look! another picture. Up-side-down! Nice? I post it on how I took the picture. What can I say? Superb!!!=)
That's all for (only this) morning. I talk alot. And I have been emo for days. I think my PMS is just around the corner. No joke. =)

Roller Coaster Monday

2006-09-25T23:18:00.000+08:00

Today has been a roller coaster day for me. For Buddha's sake, it is just a MONDAY.

I had an appointment with a GP in my uni clinic. I suggested a medication I want; I did plenty of research about it and I KNOW myself well. Turn out, my GP said: I SEE YOU FAIL IN THIS TREATMENT!
How judgemental and how NEGATIVE it is!!! Ermmm... How am I suppose to trust her again? and work with her? You tell me. Doctor eh? So, when the pharmacists say the doctors are stupid ( Not loktor Chen :) ).. Hmm.. You BETTA BELIEVE IT! =)
So....I turn all my annoyance, piss-off-ness and evil-ness into positive energy and happy spirit!

I did spring cleaning!!! I spent whole 5 hours cleaning the backyard, the front yard!! :) Clean, and clean and clean!!! All by myself while Kian at work.

I've got this Karcher water pressure cleaner from my neighbour. It is a fantastic machine! The water is sprayed in high pressure, and it sprays off the dirt and algae between the bricks, pathway...

Aw.. 5 hours. My hands are numb, ache.. but I am so happy. Mind you, this is just 60% of the spring cleaning. I still have couple of things in my mind. ;D I am a cleanning maniac or what, eh?

This is a picture before cleanning. I will show ya the ones after cleaning sometimes this week.
I enjoy the moment when the water splased everywhere.. and sand, glass, alage..the whole afternoon was so 'organic'. The smell of the root of glass was so yummy. It was awesome. It reminds me of my daddy who works as chinese herbalist.

Look! This is my sunny yellow flip-flop! :) Kian got it for me, from Sarawak. He knows I love sunny yellow.

Hmm.. another emo moment: Chris Judd didn't win Brownlow Medal. Aw man!!! Adam Goddes wins. Damn it!! If this is the case, I want WEST COAST EAGLES to win the grand final!!!

Oh yeah~!! Charmaine told me my interview with FEMALE magazine (Malaysia) is out already! I think it is October edition. HEY!! Can someone send me a copy please!?? Or scan a copy for me first. :) Me and my friends here are so exciting for dunno what? Hahahah!!! Happy Happy!..lalalalala (Target 100% theme)

OK!! I told you it is a roller coaster monday. Dun believe me eh? :)

Pancakes For Breakfast

2006-09-23T05:31:00.000+08:00

Taaa Daa~! I made some pancakes on last Sunday morning for our breakfast. Hm..to be specific, it was kinda for lunch :) It was great!

These are the ingredients I used for 2 people:
1. organic self-raising flour --1 cup
2.full cream milk-- 1 cup
3.baking power--1/2 teaspoon
4.egg--1
5.butter--1 table spoon, melted.
Sieve the flour, baking powder and a small pint of salt through a siever. This increases the porosity of the flour, and ot gives better texture at the end as well. Beat an egg, lightly. Add the melted butter, beaten egg and milk together. Mix tehm well in a bowl.

Add the mixture to the sieved flour.
Mix all of 'em up!! Yeah~! Let's party!! You are getting there once they are mixed well. Heat up the non-stick frying pan with medium heat. Melt butter. Add the mixture.
These are the pancakes:

They look like Roti Canai from the picture.

The texture was absolutely faboulous!! They taste so much different from the one in bottle. I high recommend you do your own pancake. :)

Me and Kian used several different topping.. Jam, honey, very very little maple syrup. I dun really fancy maple syrup, too runny. I prefer the high visocity and sweetness (=goodness) from honey. Oh, you can add strawberries, banana...anything to pancake.

Have fun!!!

p/s: Im thinking of baking muffins or scones with the rest of flour. Will see eh? :)

Acah + Prawn Cracker

2006-09-20T21:44:00.000+08:00

OK!!!This is a combination West Malaysian won't really understand or get it in someway provided they know someone from there, they had that before, or they read blogs like Chen's one. She posted this before. =) Oh! Another reason I know this because KIAN is a Sarawakian himself. He introduced me this delicacy. :)

So, for West Malaysian, just while you are still thinking they East M'sians live on top of the tree, mind you, they know quite abit of good food before you do. Sarawakians/Sabahans are everywhere around the world. Only stuck up, snobbish people from W. Msia big city think they live in cave or tree top. How lame, right? ^_*

(Sarawakians, u betta agree with me, otherwise I look so lame here, OK? Gimme face..10Q)

Ok. Back to food.
The acah we've got from oriental shop is s'porean style. This is sweeter type. It has lesser cucumer which annoyes Kian 'cause he likes cucumber.

I fried some prawn crackers to go with too.
See! Acah + Prawn Cracker = YUM YUM! =)And a glass of midori+lemonande..

Summer has came abit early.

Cheers~!! :)

Money, Money, Money..

2006-09-18T23:00:00.000+08:00

Must Be Funny...In a rich man's world...
EH! This is my favorite ABBA's song. Not particularly. Fact, I like most of the ABBA songs. I even been to the musical performance.

Anyhoo, this post is nothingto do with ABBA..yet it is somewhat related to MONEY.

Sometime I think some money (or fine) is necessary, some are not.

Take a look at this! If you are NORMAL ppl.. you park your bloody car in disabled parking lot.. Then I think you deserved the fine.

AUD120.00 is 'sup sup soi' (nothing) lah! OK! AUD1000.00 also hmmm.. what ever it is..if you are immoral, and do the wrong thing, I think the g-man should fine your arse off! If not..wait till KARMA comes..hahaha!! and you don't complain Karma is a biatch when u kena. :)
If I were one of the politician or so..no matter where I will be; this is how I am going to make money from the people. *cough cough*. Instead or increasing the toll, the petrol price, or selling bloody expensive local cars to my people..I will FINE those morons who do the wrong thing. I think it would be darn easy to make money in this way. Ekekkeek. *tell me I am not dreaming*

Still, some uni sucks their students blood to the max!! Take a look at this:

Haha!! SEE!!! Dare you ask for a reprint of invoice!!! It cost AUD5 bucks for that piece of paper!!! pffttt

Yet, Ruambutans cost AUD19.90 per kilo. ...*sigh*

No Joke, myte.

No way I will spend my money for the rambutans..This is insane.

Oh MY. I started getting cranky on Monday, and it is just a beginning. Oh B!! :)

Horny or What?

2006-09-17T12:27:00.000+08:00

Saw this on way to class

A snail humping a ciggarette butt in the middle of the street. 'beh hiaw pai seh' one eh? Der..Animal! :) I musta appologize for the poor quality of the pictures, ermm..I used my mobile phone. I even waited there for 10 minutes just to get a closer look.

Snail humping a cigarette butt....

Hmmm... So, it is because of the weather? or the snail itself? or the person who throw the cigarette butt?

Bah.. I don't know. I just think it is interesting, in a wacky way. :)

Snail humping a cigarette butt...

Colours In My Kitchen

2006-09-15T22:22:00.000+08:00

Short Talk: YAY for the Dockers!!! They won! 102-74. Bye bye Demons! Tomorrow will be even more exciting-- West Coast Eagles playing against Western Bulldogs. Aiyah! I close eyes also can tell my all-lengchais-team Eagles gonna win lah~! *fingers crossed* :) One more thing, just hope my boss will be bringing a TV to work, so I can watch the game at work too. ;P

Here are couple of fruit pictures that I took from last week.
How fascinating is that.

I bought some fruits the other day. I arranged them nicely on the kitchen bench, and I cut them slowly. OH MY GOD!! Once I inserted the knife into the fruit, I can smell the aroma of the fruits. It is absolutely heaven! I was really excited. Very.

I know this sounds very animated, but I am still very excited. I love the smell, colors and of course the sweetness. It is so yummie. *mind you, I have problem getting my adrenaline level down once it is triggered. *

aH!! Splendid. :)

Have you done your 2 fruits and 5 vege today?

Feeling Cheeeeena

2006-09-13T21:24:00.000+08:00

Yes, I am. Traditionally, in fashion term.
I have been wearing plan t-shirt, jeans, t-shirt, shirt, jeans.. and really, I want something very springish.I went for high tea at Atrium in this CheongSam top. It was great. Not fancy, but a nice afternoon day out with my friends. Ops, I did self-cam as well--my hair. :)
I just can't believe my hair getting longer and longer.
Dark, long and silky.

'tungsten' mode was used to compromise the sunlight.

so narcissis right? I know. :) Come one la.. This is my first time having such a lengthy of hair, so don't laugh at me. I even have a wild imagination where my hair is long enough (waist length), so I can wrap myself with them.

How? I also not quite sure, really. Use your imagination lah!

Notting Hill

2006-09-12T00:26:00.000+08:00

Hey! Do you still remember 'Notting Hill' the movie starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant? Yes? Yes? Do you still remember the scence where Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant jumping over the fence at night, and getting into the park. After a few moment, they discovered a bench??

Oh..maybe for those karaoke die-hard fan who always sing "when you say nothing at all" (by Ronan Keating) ?? Keating sitting on a bench..??

Eh! Come on lah..don't tell me you don't know. *wink*

Yes, I keep mentioning the "bench", don't I? 'cause the bench is in Perth CBD :) Actually, I was told my friend, Basil long long time ago.. but I didn't get to take any pictures until 2 months ago. =) And , and , and.. I only get to post it up another 2-months later. How cool is that? ^_*
"To June who Loved this garden... from Joseph, who always sat beside her"

Classic!
So, this is how long ago when I took the picture. Yes, when Tze was in town.
Ooooops! Kian and me.
The park is called Queens Gardens, located in Perth. Just right behind WACA.. Causeway.. Behind Perth Police Departmet.. Ring a bell??

I am big fan of Julia Roberts, I think she is gorgeous. I like Hugh Grant too.. Blue eyes + English accent is my weakness. :)

Ahhh... I am so wanting to re-watch this movie. Heheh.. what a sukka. :P

Araleun Botanic Park

2006-09-10T13:15:00.000+08:00

I promised some of you I will put up more pictures, yet I also promised myself this will be the last post of Araluen. :) I have been sneezing quite abit recently.

Me and Kian went there last week; it was Aussie Father's day, so as you can see here, there are plenty of people. What a shame tomorrow it's going to be raining, therefore I doubt the park is going to be crowded like previous week.
This is Kian =) I choosed the shirt last year from Myer.

Kian took this picture of mine. My hair is getting longer and longer. Yay!
Another view from the park.Viewing from the top of the waterfall.
I took plenty of pictures from here. Step by step. I got so close to the water surface, and it was great.

Rob helped me to choose some of the pictures. Oh, tell me what you think? Thanks. =) I have few similiar ones. This one took by Kian. He took the picture from slight different angle, which allowing him to include a small bit of sunshine in this photo; whereas mine wasn't.
Heaven. And
paradise. =)
This is one of my favorite tulip picture. The only white amongst the red ones. Kinda remind me Dyyffd, the character from Little Britain, 'the only gay in the village'.

Oh! If you look carefully, you can see there are few water droplets suspending on the leave, just like crystals.
I am so happy! I couldn't really tell how well the pictures will turn out until I get home. So, everytime after taking pictures, there is always a (or many many) surprise(s)! Pinky tulip.

This is my favorite too. =)
Sunny yellow daffodil, yay! My weakness. =)

This is cherry blossom. It reminds me of those fake plastic cheery blossom my mum used during CNY.

Another sunny yellow flower. I am not sure what's it called. But again, sunny yellow color is my weakness :) Kian took this picture for me.
This is quite special as well, blue flower eh?

Finally, daisies!!!!! Not yellow or gold, but very sunny!!! *_^ woohoo

By the way, I just realised I have been blogging for one year. Eh, and I am still here. Miracle does happen. :)

Araleun Botanic Park

2006-09-05T22:31:00.000+08:00

Short Talk: Hmm, lotsa things going on these few days. My mind was pretty stuffed. I think too much, sometimes. When I am anxious, panic, I stop walking for abit. Breath in, breath out. And when my head is cleared, and I start walking again. Sh*t does happen..but life goes on. :)

Ok, more tulips!! Just like I promised from my previous post.

*ahem* I mustta admit, I still like to do some tourist thing even I know it is very cheesy. Hello!! What you expect? Girl, flower, sunshine,smile, camera.... all come in a lot. Right? Haha! I just bulled it up.

OH! I took few pictures which have me and Kian's shadow.
Nice. And Classic! =)
Oooops! Another picture of mine. More sunshine, please.
Those pictures are individual ones. They come in different colours. Purple, yellow, red, orange...pretty awesome.

Breathtaking. Not?

Hope you like the tulips. Cheers!

We Remember Steve Irwin

2006-09-04T19:39:00.000+08:00

Aussie Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin killed this morning.
What a sock when Jo told me. I thought she was referring to another person.

We remember Steve Irwin.
His sense of humour, friendly manner, REAL Australia Idol, model citizen.

May he rest in peace.

Amitaba.

Araleun Botanic Park

2006-09-03T20:46:00.000+08:00

*Warning: Tulips overloaded*

Beautiful Sunday.

Me and Kian decided to drive down to Araleun to see some nice tulips. It was approximately 40min drive. It wasn't that bad after all even with the traffic on the hill. I enjoy Kian's company. I love his sense of humour, his jokes. I giggled. More cuddles. I am so spoiled. :) I decided to keep the Sunday for just two of us. We are needing a quiet getaway. I kept telling myself : Yep! This is not a gathering, blogger meet, catching up or whatsoever. And I tried not to carry my mobile phone with me either. Just in case, I 'accidentally' called this person, that person..so on and so forth.
It was a beautiful day. We love the sun and the brightness. It was quite warm too. Woah! It was like the first day we feel the nice weather after Winter. How cool is that?

I on-off wearing my sunny 'cause I wanted to see the'real' color of the tulips, the tress, and the people. When I felt my eyes started getting teary, I wore my sunny for abit; and then again, I took it off.... see the real colours. ;) I know, I am abit naughty. But, we only come here once a year!
We took loads of pictures. Yes, loads of them. =) It was awesome.
Here are some pictures of the tulips.
I know... very nice.
Very spring, ay?
*blekz* Heheh...see who is sitting behind the tulips? Cool ey? It was my idea. Off-focus of human being is necessary in tulip farm.
More tulips...

OK! It IS tulips overloaded, I have had warned you before, didn't I? Go get some antihistamine before you get Hay Fever.

And stay tunned for more tulips.

Yay~! ^_^

For West Coast Eagles Fan Only

2006-09-02T01:41:00.000+08:00

Hey, guess what? I went to a loal community talk; it was hosted my a cosmetic company...and I meet TWO Eagles.

For the locals, you folks know WCE is all-good-looking-blokes team. Tee hee hee. Yes, even the coach, John Worsfold is handsome. OK!! I met Mark Nicoski and Brett Jones.

And seriouly, who the heck are these people? I am not quite sure. I only know Ben Cousins and Chris Judd from the team. =) Anyway, like I said, they all are lengchais.

It was somekind of motivation talk, I guess. I was running late, so I didn't quite manange to listen the beginning part. But, I must say these people are so funny and they have the sense of humour. Everyone was laughing, especially with the girls/ladies/women. They were giggling.. OMG! They are so cute! I mean the laughing audiences. As soon as the talk finished, the footy players started doing the 'celeb' thing- giving autographs away and taking pictures with their fans.

At first, I was quite reluctant to ask for it because like I said, I don't even know them well.
Anyway... Turn out, a lady asked me: You need a card for the autographs?
YeaHH!! Why not? Might as well...since I was standing there like a 'tua pek kong'.

I managed to get their autographs; I kindly asked them don't write my name down, as I am thinking to give it away to a REAL WCE fan who will appreciate more than I do. How's that sound? If you are big fan of Eagles, and you love to keep this, send me an email. This is Brett Jones. Lengchai leh? I don't know how to define lengchai.. as long as they are not ugly..oh well, everyone is lengchai. =)

Smile~!!! *yay*

OK! This is gay. I had to self-took the picture with my digicam. I don't really trust other ppl using my camera. If the pictures turn out not clear.. I would get very very annoyed. If I myself screwed the picture .. It is OK. >.< Haih..typical. typical.
Another picture with Mark Nicoski.

Anyway.. after looking up and down, down and up..Hmmm I still thinking that Kian is better looking. Way way better looking. Kian is number 2 handsome person in my list.

Number 1?? My Daddy!!!!! :)

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan Malaysia Ke-49!!

2006-08-31T02:18:00.000+08:00

*mixed language post*

"Saya dah janji Hijackqueen maka saya akan 'blog' dalam Bahasa Melayu. Duh! Sakit kepala saya sebab saya tidak mengguna BM (tulisan) sejak saya meninggal sekolah menengah. Saya ingin berpantun, malah saya dah lupa bahasa lawa-lawa yang saya belajar dari cikgu saya. *suay*

Walaubagaimana pun, saya masih fasih dalam BM, biarlah saya anak kampung, di mana populasi orang Banjar adalah tertinggi di Malaysia. (Jika hang/kamu mengetahui saya dari sekolah menengah, biarlah SM Alang Iskandar ataupun SM Hua Lian ke, anda tahu saya memang fasih bagai kaum Melayu. =) )"

Ok!! I think I did quite alright. It took me awhile to practice in writting, just to bring back my basic BM. Thank Buddha, I am still able to speak BM well, with the heavy Malay accent somemore! =) I still know how to sing Negaraku, I nearly wanted to self-cam/record myself to show to the whole world!!!!

I am Malaysian, truely. In some way. I bought loads of stuffs in Perth which are made in Malaysia.

Made-in-Malaysia shoes from Nova.

Made-in-Malaysia T-shirts (5 years old t-shirt) Made-in-Malaysia roti canai
Made-in-Malaysia Kopi O
Finally, Made-in-Malaysia couple.
I am from Bagan Serai, Perak while Kian is made in Sarawak. :)

Happy Birthday Malaysia~!!!! *mwah*

Tag:Six Random Facts About Me

2006-08-29T23:07:00.000+08:00

By Chen . Why? She loves me. :)
Picture taken back in March 2006

6 random facts.. easy lah! Haha

As far as I love to go on serious diet just like what I planned on the 1st January 2006, hmm.. it doesn't seem like working. Simple as that: I love my food.
Beside sitting infront my laptop, nerding thru' internet, I enjoy housework, gardening, and cooking as much as I like go for a swim in late afternoon.
I am slight westernised conservative Asian. Learning the new culture whilst keeping Oriental values.
I love David Brent (Ricky Gervais). However, my obsession pause at The Office soon I realised he is a depressed man in the Extras. I sometimes suspect a happy cheerful man can suffer from depression too. And I wonder myself, if I am one of them? Anyway, depression leads the sexyness of a person,in some way. That's why I still love Brent.

5. I know nothing about Footy (AFL), however I love watching the games, chasing the scores and eyeing on the footy players musculin body ~~and arses~~. I even appreciate it if you don't watch the game with me, but to some extent, you may acknowldege my obsession and don't just ignore me completely.
6. I have problem saying NO. In some ways, I am a soft-hearted biatch; I carry loads of burden myself. There is some scientist said that person who has problem saying NO, will suffer from anxiety, depression...and later die from cancer. Bullshit one lah. =) I love this tag anyway, 'cause I feel the love. ^_^

By the way, Happy Belated Daffodail Day!

Taiwan Orchestra Performance: Timeless Melody

2006-08-26T23:34:00.000+08:00

I went to an orchestra performance on Friday night. It was a great performance. Splendid, is the word. =)

I actually saw the ad in town, but I didn't manage to get the tickets. Lucky enough, David managed to get me and Kian 2 tickets.

This gentleman with glasses, is my old friend, David.

David, this is everybody. Everybody, this is David! :)

David is a Taiwaness himself. He is single and freely available. He never *really* had a gf before. So, if you kind enough, please help me and his mom to get rid off him from the house. He is typical 'failure to launch' type. Ok, bullshit enough. =) This is me. I realised I wear the same color of seating in the performance hall, I decided to take a picture and see how well I 'blended' in. Enough, I crazy enough. The performance started with few speeches. Thank God, it wasn't lengthy.

Oh! Another thing! The near-to-pseudo-cute English-Chinese translator, he did quite an alright job which brought plenty of entertainments. Haha! I wouldn't wanna imagine if I were in his shoes. ^_*
Anyhoo.. I think this is the first time I see soooo sooo many people gather around in the same place. It is just unbelieveable. In fact, there are still so many people who are still appreciate traditional music. Especially for those who come from Asian background, living in a Western-Oriental cultural melting pot, I am impressed. I nearly let my tears drop.

The performers are aged from 9 to 15. They are fabulous. I am impressed which they are not only good at the skill at using the musical instruments, but they all played with the real spirit. How cool is that!

The first few musics were played in a small group. It was abit slow. I tried not to doze off. *ahem* I wanted to give them my full moral support. FYI, I am Oriental culture lover myself, I love traditional music; shame, my senior high school didn't accept transfer student when I was studying there, otherwise I would be a damn good one. Bah! Not really, I pefer acting. =) Standing infront of the public, talk and talk and talk.... pseudo-PM style. Hahah! Jokking.

Back to the performance, the young girl on the left showed an outstanding performance. She plays well, and REAL. Full of spirit, the love and the hate. You will truely love it.

Ok, I have a video clip here. Finally! My retarded brain know how to figure to put the video clip up. Woohoo! I am not that retard, after all. Thank Buddha!! Phew. *grin*

Till then.. Have a nice week ahead~!

Love,

Cynthia

Happy Carpenter

2006-08-25T01:03:00.000+08:00

My bookshelf nearly collapse yesterday. IKEA bookshelf ey! That's what we call? =)
I was sooo frustrated and I did even call Kian, I told him my plan: I want to call Cash Converter.. sell the bloody bookshelf off!! I want to get a non-IKEA bookshelf!! That is how frustrated I was. =)
Nah! I didn't get rid of the bookshelf. I planned to fix that mofo. Nails and hammer. And the noise. It is kinda cool, I guess.
As far as I remember, this is not the first time I fix my own bookshelf. I have one at home, approximately 40 years old antique (probably older) from my grandpa, I used to fix that before my dad wanted to throw it away!! Gosh!
I took some books off the shelf. Reduce its burden. =)

I even moved the bookshelf close to my study table.

It is all good.

I am a happy carpenter =)

Spa Day

2006-08-20T23:38:00.000+08:00

I took Kian to Nutrimetric Spa Day with me. Yes, very girlish day out. Just thought that he took me to Mazda Performance Day (see previous post), the boyish activity, I love to drag him to do some laydeeeeee-ish spa. =)
I've received the invitation from Julie, a lady who works there.When I told the receptionist and other staff members, Kian is my partner, they ALL were very excited. Very. Everyone kept saying: OMG! He is our only boy!!!.

Hmm. =_='' My boyfriend is gold. Again, he is so desirable-in any kind of female's market--young and old. ^_*

The staff members gave us exclusive spa treatment--french style, japanese style etc etc. Whatever they call. I can't remember a thing. The massage lady also did a 'facial-movement' which meant to improve colon movement. Believe or not? I have been diarroea-ing since then. For Buddha sake.. my bowel movement is abit compulsive. pfft.
This is the relaxation louge. Champagne, fruits were served.
This is some kind of their marketing skill. I am more than happy (and not afraid) to be there because me and Kian have nice skin. =) No way they can 'make' use to buy those products. Tee hee hee.

Just when we were doing the spa, the lady said: oh.. this is good for your skin, bla bla bla..
Turn out, our skin in perfectly nice, we even felt excessive sticky when we applied the water-based lotion. Eeeee!!

Secret?? Just daily facial wash, toners and moisturiser... most importantly we share all the house chores!! :)

Short Birthday Talk With Dad

2006-08-20T23:30:00.000+08:00

Me: Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

Dad: Wah!! So 'early' ah?

(I called him at 1120pm. Hehehe)

Me: No lah! I've been ill.. diarrhoea, nausea, period sumore leh!
Have you reveived my present?

Dad: What present?
(Nahbeh! My brother is so damn useless.)

Me: we decided to get you a BIG FAN. Sh*t.. My tauke/boss (young brother, Meng Shuoh) said he will buy one. Now you can get one from him.

Dad: Ok. I will ask. Thank you.

Me: By the way, how old are you ah, daddy?

Dad: 53.

Me: Wah!! FIFTY THREE ONLY ??? So young!! *feel bad in my heart*

Dad: smiling happily on the other side.

Me: daddy.. Happy 53th birthday. I love you.

Dad: Thanks. Ok. Daddy hang the phone now ah..

Me: OK. call you next time. Bye

ToooooooooT.

Damn it! I haven't finished yet. My next 3 months allowance. Haih. Forget about it. Happy to my-dad birthday.

=)

p/s: The picture was taken back in 2001, in our old house that we all grew up with. The house was recently sold to someone. Guess that "3 generation" thingy I wish all the time would never come true. But at least, we stayed with mum and dad, and grandma under a same roof years ago!! No regret huh? ;)

Mazda Performance Day, Perth

2006-08-16T12:51:00.000+08:00

ZOOM ZOOM !!

Kian won some sort of competition few nights ago, and he was invited by Mazda for Mazda Performance Day in Perth. Mazda also allowed him to bring a friend along. Haha!! Who else get to go? ME!!! Of course!! Hahahah!!

Ok, brotha and sista, saudara saudari, kawan kawan sekalian.. I know nothing much about cars, so just bear with my superficial bimbotic opinions. I do watch quite a bit of TopGear (British Car Reviews series), still I love the British accent, jokes and looking at nice cars, That's all. And the rest of information that car lovers paying attention at....? I don't and I never care. :)

The Driving was taken place in AHG Driving Center, located near to Perth International Airport. Despite several episodes of pouring rain, it didn't stop our adrenaline level from jumping up.

We all. YES, WE ALL get to drive ALL these Mazdas--MX5, MPS (newest car), RX8 and Maxda 6. *drooool* The event started with a briefing session with Jon Waterhouse (ex-Australia Rally Champion). He is such a cool dude. He told us alot more about MPS. Sitting in the presentation room, listening to the car thoeries.. It was an awesome experience. It was so scientific, factual--I am amazed by myself 'cause this is kinda the first time I understand 'automobile' language. The session also conducted by few trainers from Motor School.

Ok, let's take a closer look of those babies.
This is Kian and MX5.
I've driven MX5..sucks! Not the car, it is ME!!! =) I am lousy driver. It was so weird for driving an auto-Mazda. I always feel there is something missing without needing pushing clutch while changing the gear. I even push the break while I attempted to change the gear. Damn it!! It was so bloody embarassing!!!!! I am dumb enough.. But, still!! Not that I need extra funny jokes on me. pfft! :) I tell you what, MX5 is yummie-- the feeling of driving it just like having a big jug of watermelon juice in hot summer days--smooth and powerful.

This is RX8. Drove that as well. Damn it! The interior design is sooo gorgeous! It was very powerful Mazda--2nd gear for 2 labs and it was still strong to race. Love the seat controller--good for short ppl like me. Not much space thou.. I don't think this Mazda baby is suitable for grocery shopping at Coles. :) Eh, I told you already, I don't much about cars. For me, if I am buying the car, I choose the look, and other feminine characteristics rather than the horse power.Again, MX5. MPS--the latest Mazda Performance Series.

I have so much to say about this baby after I've driven it. It was HOT! The wheel grabbing the road sooo sooo well. It was soo ZOOOOM(ed). No matter how fast and crazy I drove, it won't lost control. Damn it! I had no chance at all to do the 'Initial-D' thingy! I have other people I meet on this event told me the same thing as well. Geee.. driving a MPS is like drinking hot pipping tom yum soup with lotsa seafood--that lemonish hot and spicy flavor never failed to give diners the ultimate orgasmic feel. *shiok*Hehehe.. Me, Kian and MPS baby. :)

Mazda 6 is a sophisicated bitch!!! I tell you. I never expect an 'ordinary' looking Mazda has such an awesome performance. Beside, it is very spacious--shopping bags, vege, fruits from market .... =) It handles well on the road. Very feminine. Very smooth. Exactly like those carefully cooked steak melting in the mouth---Heaven!!!
I think I bimbo enough for the Mazdas. I have some pictures for the car lovers as well. Boys, there you go!

Those are teh interior designs of the car. Not much taken as I was busy driving here and there =)

MPS.

RX8 baby.

Mazda 6, the sophisicated biatch =)

MX5.

Oh, this is Kian in MX5 =)

By the way, if any of you know who is Dick Johnson??? CLICK HERE

He was Aussie racing champ..like a aussie legend thingy or something. I swear to God I didn't really know who he was.. I thought he was just like other cool dude instructors.. Not till EVERYONE, yes, EVERYONE was kept mentioning his name, taking pictures, getting autograph........those idol thingy. Oh well, you know.

Yeah, what did DICK JOHNSON doing there??

He drove us in MPS!!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!!!! Lucky us!!! ^_^

Dick Johnson with Kian.

Swear to God, I still really don't know much about cars, V8 racing thingy. I personally think is a friendly cute gentleman. He has that sense of humor. He is humble. He shares everything and patiently answered my bimbotic and blonde questions. Unlike other famous ppl, he didn't even get annoyed or upset even I didn't know anything about him!! *respect* Jon Waterhouse, I need to mention again. He is another respectful gentleman. He is funny, and humble. So much to learn from older people. =) Grrrrr.. I didn't get to take pictures with Waterhouse, damn it!

and ME! :) and there of us. Pfft. I am so short! =(
Autographed pictures to show off, in case you bloody don't believe me I get to go with Kian for this exclusive invitation from Mazda. haha!!

To sum up, it was a fantastic experience. It was a total driving experience. Enjoying and loving the cars. The extra bonus of the whole experience was: NO, not a bloody pushy saleperson asking anyone of us buying the Mazda!! How cool is that?

Anyway.. I am so wanting that Mazda THREE MPS!!! I can imagine myself sitting in that sexy baby now.. Eh, you guys pray for me, hope I can get it soon. Real soon. =)

Elaine is one of my girl friend whom I really close with. By the way, QGT means Quality Girls Time =)

Elaine is working for Singapore Airline at the moment. Bah, looking at her gorgeous face and body, u know her occupation at SIA lah. =) She is very tall. Tall as in.. Hmm.. I kinda half-folded my body while taking this picture to hide my 'body length'. Tee hee hee
I have plenty of friends who visiting Perth on many occasions, most of the time, I will try to make sometimes off to see them because our precious friendship. Elaine is definitely one of them.

(Note: friend means.. those that are really appreciate you, and cheerish the friendship; Not like those who only call you when they were dumbed by their boyfriend. And won't even bother to call you when she (or they) find a new boyfriend. That is sooo NOT a friend. I don't call that friend. Just a PIK!!! PIK=Person-I-Know. That's all. )

Elaine knew my busy schedule on Saturday, therefore she invited me to spend the night in Sheraton Hotel once she touched down to Perth. WoooHooo!! I got the first cuddle! :)

We both tucked our feet in the thick blanket...chit chatting till 5AM in the morning for heaven sake!!! GIRLS QUALITY TIME myte! Only girls know this well. ^_^

We share plenty of experience since she left. She told me about her travelling experiences.. Gosh! It was sooo sooo exciting! It is so real and way better than just looking at the pictures itself. I told her about my blogging thingy, my work, my crazy moment in the night club where some Japanese cute chicks trying to flirt with Kian yet I was still very excited about it because this means MY bf is gold and desireable *bling*.. It was so so so cool.

Elaine is a genuine girl friend. It was 1001 time I could actually burst into tears seeing her leaving Perth again. Nahbeh! I don't normally being so emotional one, I tell you. Although we didn't spend much time, but all wonderful moment are well kept in my memory.

I sound kinda G. I know. But.... whatever. At this stage, I have more than a quality girl friend, so cheerish for me =)

Peter Tan asked me to take some Transperth bus pictures the other day. Me and Kian, without hesitation, we went out the next day and took quite a bit of pictures to help him so he could blog about the public transportation system for people with disabilities.

This is the link, CLICK HERE

Think about it, how lucky for those people who live in barrier-free environment, and how unfortunate for those who are not. Therefore, my personal opinion is, if you have the ability, please help those people, especially those who keep a blog, who can write, who can voice out.. Do something. It won't harm. Do nothing, it hurts, seriously.

Non-Hungry-Ghost Festival Talk

2006-08-08T00:30:00.000+08:00

Hm. Hm. Hm.

There is REHAB centres for alcoholic dude like Mel Gibson after his 'crazy' act in public.. I am wondering if there is a REHAB for sweet-tooth people like me??

You know what? Sugar and saccarine are addictive! Sinfully.

Evil donut topped with chocolate and blue snow flakes.. Double choc topping.... Danishes and pastries...
Cookie and cream cheesecakes...
Another one..
and.. one more (!)
See! I lost count the calories already.

Chocolate is the worst deliyummieliciou addiction on earth, I tell you.
If those people can be de-sensitised from bee stings, what about chocoholism??

Triple muddy chocolate pudding from Coles... Oh! and florentine cookies as well~!

Muffins.. banana and date, blueberry, chocolate, apple and cinnamon.........

Custard tart--from dim sum therapy.

What else? That's right! C-O-F-F-E-E! OK!!

I feel really *really* *really* bad at this moment.

Now, I seriously need to consider for REHAB. *_^

StyleAID '06: Heaven

2006-08-06T11:01:00.000+08:00

StyleAID is one of the biggest even of WAAC (Western Australia AIDS Council).

It is not just about fund raising..it is also all about the fashion, the style, the glamour.. Very fastinating, I must say. =) Went there for voluntering. Gawd! I've been running and talking to people for 4 hours straight, selling tombolas. Raising ~1000 bucks with my voly partner =) Not to mention the total amunt raised from that night itself.
Lotsa models, people, clothes, laughters, screaming at hot models =) ; catwalk was awesome..

I had no intention at all to take any pictures, oh! that was a last minute thingy, happened that a model wanted a favor. Argh~ There you go, mobile quality pixxie. Opps! =)
The music, dancing, performance.. AMAZING! ah, looking at male models arses !! Me, simply speechless.
There were quite a number of pictures on displayed. I personally like one of the picture with Chinese writting: The heaven of ghosty spirit,evil devil. It was very breathtaking.

This is the blog of StyleAID, in case you are bored, like me, have nothing better to do on Sunday morning. ^_*

Cheers!! ^_*

Yummy Chicken Feet

2006-07-31T17:01:00.000+08:00

My favorite dish at dim sum shop, I mustta admit. Shamelessly =)

Kian always say, eh! This 'thing' is so dirty, and it is fulla sh*t.

Me: So... ney, you think when I eat chicken feet, meanning I eat sh*t?

Kian:(give me weird look )
:yeeeeaaH! sorta. The feet running everywhere, stepping on the ground. *frown*

Me: But, they are yummy! don't your mum teach you how to enjoy nice food?

Kian: My mum don't teach me how to eat sh*t.

Celaka!!I don't know how to respond to that question, so when I finish all the chicken feet...

Me: Honey!!!! Can I kiss you please?? ^_^

NOOO!! Not on the forehead! I want to kiss your lips!!!!!

Leftover chicken feet bones

Kian: =_='''

AHHHH!!! HEAVENLY shiok~!!!

I mean the chicken feet. =)

Little Caesars Pizzeria, Mundaring

2006-07-29T02:17:00.000+08:00

Warning: Pictures overloaded =)

Me and Kian went up to Mundaring, an eastern suburb of WA, 18km from Perth CBD. It took us about 35-45 minutes to reach there. Mundaring is located in Perth Hill; Hill as in xx kms from sea level(?). I guess. :)

Anyway, our purpose driving all the way up there was trying a pizza place called Little Caesars (click here) . I was told by many many people including Nadia, in which the pizzas in Little Caesars had won plenty of International awards, and they taste very good, and Nadia did mention about the New York Pecan Pie pizza for several times when we catch up. So, in that case, I think I really really want to check it out myself while Kian is having short break from work. :)Just before showing all the typical blogger food pictures, I think I would love to show off the entire pizza place, for my own memory sake. Mind you, dude =)

We were welcomed my the friendly waitperson. *smile* OK, I must say 99.999% of waitresses are HOT. I mean, they are pretty. That's what Kian said as well. Hmm.. I guess this is something to do with the location they are living. Think of Ipoh, Perak (Malaysia), wherever you see a 'lenglui' (pretty girls), you think of Ipoh and sometimes you tend to ask the girl: Hey, are you from Ipoh? Yeah, that sort of question. Oh well, you know what I mean. =)~~But, don't ask me if I am from Ipoh, even I am pretty, it doens't mean I am from Ipoh. *gosh*, I hafta thickned my skin few inches and hold my bull-size gut to say this mann. =P~~

Little Caesars is a small restaurant. How small? Very small!!--only 4 tables available for dinning inside the restaurant. And I kid you not.

(one of the left end corner, and three tables on the right. That's it)

This is the general view of the kitchen area, where world best pizzas produced. The kitchen is not big either, compared to commercialised pizza places, this is really tiny. Now, these are the food pictures. As usual, the TBS. TBS=Typical-Blogger-Syndrome(TM)

We ordered 4 small pizzas in total, including a dessert pizza. The prices are very very reasonable comparing to Domino, Broadway etc etc.

This is Oyster Kilpatrick. It was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant! (say it with a little bit of British accent) The ingredients used was fresh; from the onion, bacon, herbs... you name it. Once place it on the mouth, the aroma of the pizza was like dissolving. This is White Rock's Roast. Again, the texture of the potato, the freshness of ingredients used. Another best thing I love about the pizza over here is the bread base. It was PERFECT. It's like the first time I finish the crust! Holy Moly~!I must say that. I am a bit particular when I come to pizza. Maybe this is very personal thingy, but, really, I think a good pizza should taking consideration of the base. Not sure? Ask Eddie, Cooknengr =)
This is my favorite amongst the savory pizzas, Chicken Fettucine. Yes, they use F.E.T.T.U.C.IN.E. (!). How? Use your imagination or go to Mundaring!! =) 2 thumbs up for the creativity of the chef. *_^ Well done!
Award winning dessert pizza: New York Pecan Pie. Quote from the menu: Butterscotch pudding mix, pecans, icing sugar, golden syrup, caramel sauce, pecan toffee.

Eh? Complicated? Heheh

Nah! The taste is simply yummy~!!!!!

ALL pizza I had, I must say there were carefully crafted, beautifully baked. It wasn't firewood baked, but, to be honest, I can't ask for more than that. They were very tasty. ALL of them!

Oh, I thought I love this picture of Kian looking at the pizza, so I put it up. =)

So, when I was told they won plenty of awards.. and Kian did mention: Award winning restaurant might not be as good as it got rated. This time, it proves him wrong. It is NO BULL at all.

Great service, great pizzas, great dinning place, great coffee (AUD$2.50 per medium-to-large size expresso coffee, no extra charge for double shots expresso)

What can I say? Go Mundaring! Eat pizzas at Little Caesars!! ^_^

Hmm... maybe next blogger meet over there? *smile*

A drop of blood and a smile

2006-07-25T03:17:00.000+08:00

I had my second blood donation of this year. It is my 9th donation, and it is still counting. *fingers crossed*

I usually go to Carousel 'cause some of the nurses know me quite well. Hmm, apparently Sally (a middle age Asian nice lady, originally from where I come from) wasn't there. She is the one know my vein very well. *this sentense sounds so not-right*. Anyway, I would worried less having her poking needle into arm, oh well, this time, I got a hot nurse did for me. Mind you, she is not bad.
Actually, different people might have slight different way to do their job. I am happy as long as at the end of the donation, I manage to bleed out 470mL in less than 6.5minutes, faster than Forrest Gump running across the nation. Woohoo~! ^_*

Australia Red Cross Blood Service, Westfield Carousel.

I always encourage my friends or anyone of you to donate their blood as long as they are eligible. Mind you, not everyone can do that. You must be perfectly healthy. Hmm.. still, you must have sufficient level of iron, haemoglobin etc etc. To find out more, click here.

To think about it, from a beginning of a donation till sending them to a receiver, and saving a person life, there are lotsa bits and pieces, reasons and factors have involved. Therefore, it is, indeed an unique donation.

I try to make blood donation as part of routine in my life, not that I scared of I am going to hell ;) simply because I want to give back what I've been taken from the society, and to other ppl who give. I don't really have extra money or old unused items to donate, but I certainly have blood to give. :)
Have a quick peep inside of the blood donation center. =)

Ok, if you stingy with your money, I understand. If you scared of needle, I understand. But trust me! It is PAINLESS!!! =)

Ok? Still chicken out? I suggest you 'donate' your smile to people around you, cheer them up everyday when they see you, it is a 'donation' as well. If not, I see you in hell.
Hahah!*touch wood*

=)

TA DAH~!!!! (new blog skin)

2006-07-24T02:28:00.000+08:00

Yes!!! Yes!!! You come to the right place. I just changed my blog skin.

Oh yeah! If you reading this from bloglines.com, Hey!! click on my blog =)

uH!! Happy!!! =)

p/s: I know it is nice, Thank You before you commenting first. I will let Robin know he does a great job. *thick-skinned-me* ^_*

Point Form Entry: Food Overloaded

2006-07-19T01:47:00.000+08:00

What's on?
Dinner at Robert and Jo's place. ^_*

Mood/feeling:
Very exciting! Very happy. Need to say more meh? It is all about food =) Tee hee hee hee...

Who did the cooking?
Robert and Jo. Who else? Need I name the lovely couple? =)

Theme:

Korean. Hot pot steamboat. Winter food. The diners:obviousy... =)
and Kian.

Rate the dinner:
99.99999% almost perfect dinner.

What's my favorite?

The soup!!!!! hot and spicy enough! Alternative therapy for my sinusitis =) Korean style beansprouts!!! The seafood!!! The meat!!!! The tofu!!! Everything!!!

Ok..let's warm up *rubbing both hands againts each other, take off my scarft* and serve.

Self note:

Make sure we have enough batteries next time. We meant to take human pictures as well, but at end of taking pictures of the dining table and food..camera ran out of battery. darn! how not cool is that? -_-''

"When are you gettng married?"

2006-07-17T11:07:00.000+08:00

OK, I am sooo ~~fucking~~ NOT!! yet.

I was being asked this question on my Saturday night out. I was soooo annoyed and I am still annoyed.

Great!! I haven't been seeing these people for awhile.. and this was the first time I am out there and, I tell you, it was like a nuclear bomb.. and I don't understand why.

still *annoyed*. Er.. menstrual suX too.

Is not that people don't understand me or what? I am still in uni, I am still asking money from my parents, and I am still young!!! I am not ready for parenting yet...I haven't go to Tibet, Nepal and India yet!!

So, people assume that we both going out for years.. and it is the time tight the knot. So, what kind of 'logic' is that? It sounds pathethic to me, seriously.

Nabeh!! What happen to those people who don't even have a partner yet? Is this an insult to them?? We don't need to attached to be happy! Certainly, we don't need to get married even we go out for years. What kind of bullshit is that?? pffft.

I must admit I love to have a my own home and family in the future. Of course me and Kian spoken on this before, but nothing will happen until the time comes.

Hmm.. to be honest, I never ever wanted a kid. I think the whole process of pregancy, breast feeding, kids growing up thingy can be quite 'scary'. I am not sure when I will be ready for it. But I will certainly do it for at least once in my life time. and I am not kidding. But, this whole thing will only be happening after years. So, don't ask me when I am getting married.

The question annoyed me.

No!! No!! No!! What annoyed me the most was..for having rushing all the way right after diner and work for a pre-appointed catching up, pre-inform my friend that I would be tagging another person with me... yet, seeing everyone squeezing in a table and NO SEATS for any of us!!!

Right!! Catching up? Coffee? Long time no see??? f!

This is Karma or what? or simply my PMS-suay (unlucky) luck?

amitaba-chilll cynth..amitaba.. f! ..amitaba..pms..amitaba...amitaba..f!..amitaba....menstrul..amitaba...

Swan Valley: Wineries, Vineyards and chocolate factory

2006-07-15T01:28:00.000+08:00

We took Tze to Swan Valley.
I voluntered to drive the car(!). But I didn't drive home after few sips of wine.

Firstly, we stopped at Sandalford Winery.
It got nice view there. A bit commercialised, to my personal oppinion. Oh well, this is what tourist looking for, innit? =)

Blue sky, chilly breeze, winter sun.

This is the out door dinning area. Shamely, grapes don't grow during winter. so all we could possibly spot was leaveless plant. =) Not so bad.

This is the retail area of Sandalford. Wine tasting is NOT FREE here. :( They even mention how much they are going to charge per head. Hehehe.. Oh well, it is not so good for those people who are trying to take advantages..

Me, Kian and Tze had a bit of wine tasting, and bought two bottles of Rose.*regret. It is slighly expensive compared to local bottle shops* Guess what? We didn't get charged for it. Hmmm.. I guess we didn't go overboard and we are good customer. =)

Ok, this is a tip. Don't bother to try too much wines in a single winery as there are plenty of genuine wineries where you can go and 'taste' (not drink) the wines for FREE.

Another tip: If you are thinking of getting more than 6 bottles of wine, I personally think don't purchase them in Swan Valley, 'cause it is quite expensive; you can always buy local wine in local bottle shops for greater deal. Look up Entertainment Book if Woolworth or Liquorland doesn't have them on special. =) [ARgh! My heart is still aching for spending extra dollars! nb!]

By the way, always know your limit (refer here) and don't drink and drive. It is dangerous =)

Note: some generous wineries do offer FREE cheese tasting! Look up the signboard as you drive. Ah!! I had quite abit of cheese, and I was wanting to buy them. Guess what? The cheese wasn't on sale. OOpps. :)

Next stop: The Margaret Rover Chocolate Factory.

Yes, again, FREE chocolate tasting. =)

During my previous trip, there wasn't any staff members standing next to the chocolate, and eyeing on the customers. But apparently, there are staff members acting like 'Tua Pek Kong" (Tao 'God' statue) yielling at the kid: ENOUGH! You have enough chocolate, love!!!

Oh well, I guess there must be too many people helping themselves too freely with those yummy chocolate. But really, if they want to stop people from taking too much, why they give out such a big piles of chocolate? I wonder.....

I helped myself with a bit of chocolate. Moderate amount of cocoa and sugar is nice, if it is too much, it kills. =)

Those are the traffles.......
and traffles......

and traffles... and more chocolates!!!!

YES!!!!
Baby~!!!!

Feeling Inspired.

2006-07-12T12:19:00.000+08:00

I had made a storage from shoe box and old calender, thank you and birthday cards; and most recently recycle papers. This time, I made EARRINGS. Not just one pair, but freaking 24 pairs(!) :) *I left one pair out* Oooops ^_^

They all are different designs and colours. Ok, some bead shapes maybe the same, but different colours. They are all unique. =)

Love the blue... feel like crystal blue ocean.

Violet crystal looks classy, in my personal opinion. If not, at least they look like Winter Lavender. =)

Sea green or emerald is my favorite. The look rather refreshing--goes well with the sun. How cool is that? ^_*
The length of the earrings are between 6-8cm. Some are even longer. =) I made couple of 5.5cm ones for people who have short neck like me. Tee hee hee~!! These are emerald bracelets. I made few of them in different designs, yet mainly in limey jade green in colour, so that a person can either wear all of them in one time, or individually.

This is the only necklace I have made so far. It took me ages to get the measurement right. Phew! Seeing my own art work is a world best satisfaction, indeed. =)
Have a closer look of the necklace. I made a matching set which contains of earring, bracelet and necklace based on these colors. =)

Hmm.. what do you think?

p/s: Oh yeah! I cam teach you how to make one if you want. But, if you are interested in buying them, you are more than welcomed. :) Earrings cost between AUD6-AUD8, depend on the design. Not too expensive, right? *_^ Bracelet and necklace? Hmm.. let me know, if you want them =) Heehee. Any questions??

Pictures

2006-07-11T12:32:00.000+08:00

Ok, I have some pictures specially taken for a "good reason". Ekekeke... What's the reason? Hmm.. I let you know when everything is confirmed, ok? If thing doesn't worked out, at least I am not that 'lau phui'. =)

Robert helped me out with the pictures. Lotsa hard work and sweats for cold winter afternoon. =) Tze helped me to carry things around. Worst thing for me was: I have to smile and laugh at the camera. A bit weird when I was thinking for the whole lot.

This pictures is taken from City .

I personally like this one. This is more 'me'. Naturally. =) *ahem*

This is taken from South Perth. Very Cheesie. Bah! Forr that 'good reason'. .. That's what Robert say. And, don't look at my cleavage. I know I have one =)

This is taken in City as well. Behind one of the building of St George Terrace. We randomly walked in, and took some pictures before we were chased out.

Hey, what do you think? Which one you like the most? Any opinion? =)

有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎.

2006-07-09T19:40:00.000+08:00

This is an old Chinese saying of Confucius, simple means: Has the friend to come from the distant place, delight.
This is the prefect description of my situation at the moment: 不亦乐乎 delight.

Hello everybody , this is Tze Tze; Tze Tze, this is everybody. =)
Tze is Kian's sister, who is currently studying in South Australia.

I took Tze around in Perth thesedays, acting visitor.
I took her to Swan Bell Tower. This is one of the must-visit tourist location in WA. Mind you, if you come to Perth, and you don't go to the Bell Tower, oh please! Don't tell people you 've been here before. LOL. The background of this picture is part of the City View. Clean and neat. This is a smaller version of Melbourne City, except Pert hasn't got tramThis is the view of Bell Tower.
*ahem* This is me, just in case, you have no idea. =)
I was trying to upload more pictures...hmm..I think blogspot.com really hates me, it doesnt allow me to do so, kns!

There are plenty of old bells were displyed in the towel, mainly imported from Europe since long time ago. According to Robert, those bells are 'unwanted items' from other countries because they were/are haunted. Heheheh..

Oh!! Robin was joining us as well.
We are standing between the bells.... Hmmmmm....
Me and Tze. Photo taken at Horseshoe Bridge bus stand.

View from City train station.

OK. That's all for tonight.

For more information of Swan Bell Twer, click here.

p/s: France or Italy to win? I don't have any preference. I don't mind with the spagetti or French cheese, I am happy to see both win. =) God luck!

Art: Recycle Paper

2006-07-06T18:38:00.000+08:00

I've made several cards in the past. There were some difficulties which I came across were looking for the right paper, colors and texture of paper is quite hard. Oh, maybe I am fussy. I want things close to perfect in my way. =)
As a consequence, I decided to make my own paper for art purpose.
I have no problem looking for recycle papers as we got quite a bit of junkz mails, brochers, even egg cartons are good ones too! I prefer ordinary paper, without waxing or plastic material.
Firstly, soak the paper/cardboard you want to recycle for few hours in order to soften the texture. If the paper is over waxed, the water won't be able to penetrate the paper, and the process is no way to continue. ^_* (speak from personal experience)Once it is completely soaked, blend them. Yes, until they look like this:Traditionally, porous wired frame was used. However, I don't have one here, and I want to make a thicker card, therefore I go with an old old chopping board.The reason I use this particular chopping board is it has fine lining which will give a nice lining on the paper. You will see what I mean by the end of this post.Once got the chopping board and blended paper, spread them across the surface of the chopping board evenly. Use old news paper to absorb excessive water. It helps alot!
I dry them behind the house backyard. Best to do it when the sun is strong, so they dry quickly.
You can try in hot-air oven, but from personal experience it did not dry them up completely. And it was quite difficult to take them off from the chopping board. It is not a good idea at all.
TA DAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are the re-cycle papers I've been making. I did most of them during Autumn when the sun was still warm. =)
Have a closer look, this is the fine lining and surface I was refering to.

Recycle papers don't normally smell great like those commercialised paper. Here's another tip for you, you can slip some perfumed-cards in between your recycle papers, so you will get nice aroma. I picked some perfmed cards up when I walked pass Myer. I know, call me 'cheap-skate' =POh yeah, to finish of your recycle papers and for storage, use heavy thick books like those... put one or two of these books on top of the papers, plus slipping the perfumed cards. You will bet a nice recycle papers.Have fun making your own recycle papers. For those in ozzie..oh yeah, you gotta wait till Summer. *_^

Flanimals !!!

2006-06-28T01:12:00.000+08:00

I have been looking at those Flanimals for sometimes. I mustta admit I have been droooling over those little creatures for sometimes too. FLANIMALS--what a cool name, eh? What you expect? They are from Ricky Gervais. =)
I wanted to buy one, at least, the cheapest one. 8 bucks. But, as in British Pound, not Aussie Ringgit. Haih! ~~Use back-side print money meh?~~ I still have bills to pay. So, from now on, I would just watch. Abit annoyed but still happy. Better than nothing, right?

Let me introduce:
Puddloflaj
"Cowardly wobbler that spends its days avoiding the Grundit. The Puddloflaj looks like a useless fat blob. It actually doesn't have an ounce of fat on it - it's water retention. In fact it's nearly 100% water, sort of like filling a balloon from a tap. Baby Puddloflaj can be used as water bombs. "
Water bomb? Can use that as Water bomb? How cool is that?

Clunge Ambler

"This sweaty little waddle-gimp shuffles around trying to cuddle things. He is weird and smells, so is constantly being beaten up and buried. He never learns his lesson and always tries to find and cuddle the Flanimal that buried him. The Flanimal usually buries him again. "

What can I say? Dumb thing can be cute thing, eh? It is Ricky Gervais style. Gotta love it, mannn. I know, I am very der obsessed. *wink*

Munty Flumple

"This little dough-brained chump mijlet likes everything. It wanders around and stares at things, instantly falling in love. It will stand staring for days until the Flanimal it is staring at moves away. If it falls in love with a Glonk, it is there forever."

By chance, 'Munty" is inspired from Monty (Python) by John Cleese. I know Gervais is a big fan of John Cleese. If I was born in Connie Booth, I see no reasons why she wouldn't fall in love with Cleese. Haha!

Honk.

"Moley squit that sleeps all day, until for no reason it makes the loudest noise on the planet, causing its nose to trumpet up to fifty times normal size. It then falls to the floor exhausted and fast asleep."

I reckon Honk is a cute one, in animated version.

Grundit.

"Staggers around half-witted and grumpy, trying to start trouble. Its favourite hobby is using the Puddloflaj as a form of transport, but it always falls off, causing the bumps on its head. Luckily the brain is too small to be affected."

I think this is one hella brilliant design!!! The brain is too small to be affected. Haha! Seriously comedy, mannn! =D

Adult Mernimbler

"Eats everything it sees and dies of chronic indigestion. "

I like the greenish dripping saliva! Hahah

Can someone tell me some tips of the FIFA Game, please? I really want to buy those Flanimals ...They come with Ricky Gervais autograph! Issin't yummier?

*droooooool*

Adrenaline and Serotonin

2006-06-27T11:12:00.000+08:00

1. A quick reminder of Perth Blogger Meet Up this coming Sunday. *happy*
I will double confirm with you all again on Thursday or so. If you wanna know more, please send me an email. The 'rules' was set few weeks ago. I check the weather this morning, hopefully it won't change. I will let you all know the exact location by tomorrow. Ok?

2. You watched the WC last night? I cried. This is second time.
Fulamak! Last minute thingy. I don't think Luis Medina Cantalejo did a good job at all. He sucks! Perhaps the footballers should sue him. Is OK, it is just a game after all. Like ~~uncle~~ Wingz said: Make Love, No War. LOL
Oh! The first time I cried was when I watch Japan vs Croatia. The game was alright, but the friendship, harmonisation.. shaking hands, helping each other.. Those scenarios made me cried abit. In the heart. Lovely.

3. I was very upset when I read this article. I feel disgusted. The article was mainly undirectly hinting Malaysian are rude. But, when I read the blog entry from Wingz again... *pause*
Clear my throat.
I think that's very individual thing to say. We have nice and rude people everywhere. My theory is:

If you are a nice person, well behaved, don't throw durian seed out from the window, then you will get nice treatment wherever you go. Simple as that.
If you think you are nice person (as if), but you get rudeness from other people in return. Hmm.. Karma, I would say. Karma as in.. you born there, live there. You are surrounded by rude ppl. You don't have the ability to move to the 'nicer' place to met 'nicer' ppl. Hahah..Karma is a biatch, don't you know that? =D
If you are a rude person, but you got treated nice. Also Karma. You must be done something good somehow, so you got treated well. Just like the beast in 'Beauty and the Beast'.. see! Even he wasn't good looking, he won the heart of a hot chick. How cool is that?
If you are a *really* rude person, and you complain you never being treated well and nice. DER!! KARMA lah!, Obviously!

So, politeness and rudeness happens everywhere. =) Amitaba.

4. Kian messaged me from work. He told me about a young girl was being murdered in toilet. And it happend in a shopping center around my work place. News from ABC.net" How sad is that??

That's all for this morning. *wink*

Hungry Jack's Brekky

2006-06-26T09:19:00.000+08:00

I love to have big breakfast. Aussie breakfast is awesome--sausages, baked bean, ham, toasted bread, and bacon.(!) But, I must admit that I skip breakfast in lotsa occasions--running late to uni, running late to work, running late to training.. bla bla bla.. So, at the end of the day, my breakfast is a glass of water. If I have 30 sec to spare, I will had Benefiber (soluble fiber) in my drink. How sad is that?

I had Hungry Jack's Brekky sometimes ago. We just wanted to try a new menu out. I was abit excited about it 'cause consumer like me have another option beside headng to McD all the time.
Brekky Wrap--sausage, egg, bacon topped with BBQ sauce wrapped in kebab wrap. This is some 'special'. *big sigh* ~~nahbeh! Special my arse, ok! My dad is having charm-peng and nasi lemak for breakfast, my brother had chicken rice, mum had kuih! and I have no choice; and I have to call this 'special'?? nahbeh!~~
There you go, this is the big brekky, come with hashbrown.
I am a big fan of hashbrown and I will never get enough. I oftenly ask Kian to get extra, then I would say: Ney, can I have one bite, please. Just one bite. =)
So, at the end, the one bite become one hasbrown. Gone! ^_*
His hashbrown=my hashbrown. Simple as that.

Their big brekky is that fancy. Darn, I would prefer to make one myself.
Something like this =)

I am very der excited for tonigh WC game... Aussie vs Italy.
Go spagetti! Go!! By the way, I think Harry Kewell is hot. ^_*

Oh yeah, good luck for those of you who put some money in.

Cheers~!

Superstitious?

2006-06-21T18:21:00.000+08:00

I was once told, if there was an insect, any kind of insect appeared in the house, meanning there was someone from the past whom I know is visiting me.
Have you hear this 'fairy tale' before?

I saw one in my house. It was resting peacefully on my summer pink heel the other night. Tiger-skinned like, pretty fancy. It is absolutely a beautiful creature. If you were asking me, if I believed there was 'someone' whom I actually came across in my life is temporarily stopping by at my house, visiting me? My answer is: 50/50.
I choose to believed as I think this is somewhat a beautiful myth. 'Someone' who visited me must be someone who loved me in the past. Probably he just wanted to stop by and to see how am I doing...Sweet? Innit?

Not to believe..simply because it is just a myth after all. =)

Weird, not? =)

Old cards

2006-06-20T15:15:00.000+08:00

I found some old cards in Kian's storage while we were cleanning up the room the sometimes ago. Wow! That's like.. five years ago. To be honest, I can't even remember I did those cards before. Tee hee hee.

This is the First month anniversary card.. How cute is that? *think facial skin*
This is inside the card. 32 small notes indicating the days we ve' been thru.
This is Second Month.
I used couple of short cotton rope and sew them on the card.
Those cards were kept well. And it seem like I just made them yesterday--just like how we got started few days ago. =)

I have very limited creativity here mainly because I don't have my whole set of colour painting equipment here. Damn! I want to do more paintings. =)

Till then. Have a good day~!!

Winter Warmer

2006-06-18T18:23:00.000+08:00

I know,my Paul Frank socks are damn cute =) I am a semi big fan of Paul Frank. The monkey face is cute, cute enough to make me smile in the middle of no where. I have Paul Frank beannie, scarf, flip flop, bags, pencil case (for my cousin), t-shirt and that's all.

When I say I am a semi big fan, meanning I am not those type of woman who blindly buy everything of Paul Frank Industries items. Hmm.. I will get sick of it if I suffer from "Paul Frank Overdose" Syndrome. I will wear the beannie out, but I won't wear the scaf. One is enough.

Ever seen those cute Asian chicks who wear pink top and pink skirt, carry Hello Kitty handbag, have a big Hello Kitty face sticker on their mobile phone... Two big pinky Hello Kitty pillows in their BMW, and plus a BIG Hello Kitty face in their front car?? ^_* Paul Frank does not work this way. Hahah!

Oh! I bought 2 paird of socks for Winter. They were on special. Happy me!
One for myself and one for Kian (obviously).

Oh yeah, you can check this out. More Paul Frank =)

Keep warm. Good luck with your money for tonight games.. whichever your money goes, don't forget to buy me a coffee if you win! Yay~!!

The moon in the cup.

2006-06-14T01:50:00.000+08:00

I tried to capture the moon in the cup. I mean, the reflection of the table lamp. =)
Hm, this is half moon. Awesome. =P Oh well, it has been freezing cold recently, especially at night. Double up the clothings, blankets... I always needing hot milo, or tea or coffee at night, something to keep me warm. The thing is, I don't need caffeine, I don't need extra calories.. So, at the end, I drink plenty of hot water. Just plain hot water. Hot water is soothing, hot cup keeps my hands warm. It is yum, I tell you.

Few years ago, while I was working in a restaurant, there was this fussy angmoh customer asked me: "Hmm.. I love spring rolls.. but can you also recommend some chinese food.. No fat, No deep dry, no MSG, no extra salt, not too much stir fry...no this , no that..."

"WATER!!!!" I answered. =)

Wah liew.. no this and no that.. She stepped in the wrong restaurant.. and she was definitely stepped on wrong tail. Haha!!!

Aww maann!!!

2006-06-12T23:55:00.000+08:00

I want to vomit blood, mannnn!!!

Aussie won Japan ..3 -1.

Sh*t man!!!

I didn't want Aussie to win. They are so rough, so rude, so BTC!!! They hurt other soccer players everywhere mann!! Holand, Japan... Damn!

They play physically!!! Aww maannn!!! I really feel sorry for those cute Nippon dudes..

Oh well!!! Is alright, I guess. Aussie will be playing with Brazil this Sunday. And this time, I bet they will go home and eat kangaroo sh*t, real soon.

I am over it now. You, Encik LOO!!! You don't call me and scream : Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

I will kick your arse in lunch break this week. I promise. =D

None World Cup Talk

2006-06-11T19:19:00.000+08:00

Since I was 10 years old, my dad told me how he wanted his funeral organised.
His style: No coffin, No burning papers, No lengthy prayers, No burials.
He said all these things are wasting money and land.
No crying and No pictures for sure. He didn't want to be remembered. He said "What's the point?"
Oh yeah, he wanted to be cremated, and throw the ashes to Penang (bridge), where he born. Simple as that. How cool my dad is, ay? =)
So, dad kinda repeat this conversation from year to year.

We are very open-minded. And to be honest, I prefer my relatives inform family members how they like their remaining(s) done once they gone. Don't leave so many sh*t behind.

Dead body is not like World Cup soccer ball, you know. You can't simply kick here and there. You have to be responsible for your own, I think.

I personally like my dad's style. But, I am Buddhist. I believe a little bit more than him. Oh well, simple as that: I eat more seafood and meat, I am obviously create more sins for myself, therefore I need to do preventative preparation, so I won't be sent to 18th level of hell. =D
If possible, I prefer to pre-pay my funeral by 55years old; cause I really don't like the idea of spending people money on me. All the money will go for Dharma activities.

Ah!!! This is my gorgeous aunty (dad's sister). She is at her 40s ++. She is one real funny, bimbo and blondy for her age.
Me: So.. That's me and your brother's funeral plan lah! Simple right?
Aunty: Ha? Like that only meh? Don't you want us to remember you or something?
Me: Cheh!! No need one lah! What's the point?
Aunty: hmm.. I am different. I want to be remembered. I want my children send me nice flower.. visit me..
Me: EH!!! Gu!! So ah, you can take your portrait picture now.
Aunty: HA? What? You ask me to 'die' now? CHOOOOY!!!
(Her face looked rather annoyed at that time)
Me: NO LAHHHH!!! I mean you look prettiest now!!!!! Don't you want us to remember your beauty?
Aunty: Oh yeah!! That's true oh!
(She smiled so happily.)
Aunty: Eh!! I am so shiok (excited) now.. Tonight.. I cannot sleep already lah!! ^_^
Me: -_-'''

*faint* mannn

Yeah. Happy Family. ekekek.....

Alternative Therapy

2006-06-07T13:37:00.000+08:00

I love shopping!
Not clothes, shoes, nor handbags. Tee hee hee.
Fact: I love grocery shopping!! It is an absolutely relaxing therapy after a long day or busy morning.

Walking through the fresh fruit and veg, carefully select my favourite green vege, potato, avocado...

I love buying wholemeal fresh bread. Sometimes, if I am lucky enough, I can get them on 'special' too. 'Special' as in at reduced rate. =)

Reading food information in a quite lane, comparing calories from one to another product.. sometime I stop at magazine section, have a browse thru' what is the latest gossips..

Get a tub of yogurt for me, a full cream double choc ice cream for Kian...

Hmm, I am wondering who else enjoy grocery shopping like I do? Or.. I am the only freak? =D

Girl Post

2006-06-05T01:40:00.000+08:00

Max Factor invited retails who stocked their product for one day training at Mercure Hotel. I join Max Factor and some girls from my work place for this interesting training session.

The main purpose of the training was to help people like me , whom know nothing about coloring on the face, to understand more about their product, so we are able to sale more. Secondary, to educate myself how to put nice color(?) on my face. Frankly, I went for training is mainly for myself, because I am 100% hopeless in cosmetic. I was so excited and fascinated by those pretty colors. OH MY GOD!! They are absolutely gorgeous~! I always think that wearing make-up is a total waste of time, and some cosmetic may cause skin problem(s)...bla bla bla. Yet, I don't have problem getting attention from bar tenders in clubs/pubs when I wanna buy drinks.... I believe 'smiling' is better than painting on our face...

But, but, but....Really, make-up in fact is an ART. It is so beautiful!! ah! *heart melts* I love the brushes.. I think they are yum!! I am not a big fan of pink color, but pink brushes are absolutely fantastic color. Big, small, long, and short.. How cool is that? =)
Oh, you see Cover Girl brand in Max Factor, right? Max owns Cover Girl =)

Nail.. I picked up a sample of nail colors... I am amazed. Oh well, Me myself, don't think I will be able to pain any bloody color on my nails 'cause I have very very short nails. And there is a fat chance I will quit chewing nails. I know, not very girlish thing. But, who cares? I already have a superb nice boyfriend who loves me. Hahah!! What an excuse, what a loser, what a bullsh*t!!! *blekz* HaHa!Earth Spirit Eye shadows.. Interesting enough, Max Factor puts all sort of colors in a small painting board. It simply reminds me how I did my painting when I was little. I had lotsa colors, yet I was still trying to find the perfect colors to paint the most beautiful rainbow ever, even though there are only seven colors in rainbow. =)Me, sitting infront the small mirror, before getting myself painted.This is me, after coloring effect. Frankly, it probably will take me ages to get use of wearing make-up. I think it is weird, but not as weird as geisha.

My girl friends said I look great. Hmmm... You know what? Maybe they are right, I look great. And I think there will be only THREE time in my life I will look extraordinary pretty.

First time was after the training session, second one will be my wedding day, and the third time will be the time I sleep in the coffin. =D

Hahahahahahah!!!!

So...How's life?

2006-06-02T07:44:00.000+08:00

I called home the other day.

Dad asked me "..So..How's life?"
"Oh!! Great!! " That's how I answered him.
Dad asked "How 'great' is great?"
Me : "Hmmmm..." " You know what Daddy, I have exams, assignments, uni, studies, memorizings, work, training, house work, cooking and washing, gardening, changing my car tyres, nerly-dead social life, swimming...and guess what? I haven't been going out for 4 Saturday nights!... and.. and... and..."

"AH!! I SEE!! So, you have emough money?" ~~This is the question I was wanting him to ask, actually~~ =D

"er...er...kinda yes, kinda no... er..." ^_^

So, if you ask me: "So, how's life?"

My answer is: Fantastic and Great!!!

Just like those colourful paper-clips are all over the tables. A bit messy, but still great!! =)

Pre-meet warm up lunch

2006-05-30T16:37:00.000+08:00

The initial plan was like that, casual lunch with Marcus. This time without Rodney.

I asked Jon. Since I never seen him before, neither do others. So, I was thinking to drag him, meet up with Marcus, so he won't be so shy when the day comes. I mean, during the upcoming 3rd blogger meet. =)

Then, I asked Charmaine, and then I asked Robin too ~~to skip lecture and come and see me~~ .. Robin is single. He is a sweeheart. Hmm.. number 9th or 10th in my list. Dad is #1, Kian is #2, Brothers, Uncles, .... Marcus, Rodney... OK! I rephrase what I just said.

Robin, Marcus and Rodney are also sweetheart, and they are single too. =) Better??

There you go, 5 bloggers plus one handosome Jay (Jon's friend). =) Yay! Can you imagine, 6 ppl non stop talking in Hong Kong style restaurant.. the background was noisy, our laughters.. one pot of chinese tea kept us going till around 230pm. I swear to Buddha, the lady boss hated a bunch of cheap-arses like us. =)

*cheh* nvm... is not that we do it all the time, right?

From left: Marcus, me, Jon, Charmaine and Robin. Jay taking picture.

Me and Charmaine started our chit-chat session way before lunch. Damn! I tell you, if this lunch doesn't happen during exam time, we will chat from dawn to dust.... She is fabulous!
Ah! This is Jon. Finally. He is funny. Funny. Really funny.
The guy who stand next to Jon, Jay.
Before I picked Jon up from Uni, Jon sent me few msg.

**Jon: hey cyn. can i bring a friend along?
Me: Yeah. is he handome?
Jon:very handsome! he'll make ur leg feel wobly.
Me: *smile in the heart==you better do!!!* ekekek **

Took some random pictures too.

I love random pictures. Is like everytime when we busy taking pictures for other ppl, I will never can tell how I look like when I am in that position. =)

The one at the back is Robin. He has a post about the meet up. click here Hmm... when I read Robin write up.. I think he realises I suffer from an uncommon disease--acute verbal diarrhoea. Incureable. So, please sorry for this poor soul like me. =D

Charmaine does have a animated version of the lunch meet.. click here.

Cool! Yeah, what's next??

Actually, I have few more pictures to post, but strange enough blogger.com is not allowing me to do that. I think he hates me. =(

Argh~~!!!! ~~Blarrrrdy hell~~

Drown....ing

2006-05-29T23:55:00.000+08:00

Half-way thru.

In deep sh*t. Deep deep sh*t.
"忙是为了自己的理想?
还是为了不让别人失望??"--Slyvia Chang.

"You try so hard and keep yourself busy because you want to achieve your dreams, or simply because you don't want to disappoint other people??"

I wundah...

Wish me luck. Wish Robin luck. Wish Charmaine luck. Wish Jon and Jay luck...

Wish we all luck.

After all, I want to see myself survived. Alive.

Victoria Station, Burswood

2006-05-29T02:26:00.000+08:00

I haven't been out for fancy dinner for awhile. Today, I decided wanna do some food post. Without reviewing much. With some pictures. Keep it as a very ordinary night out.

Welcome to Victoria Station, everybody.

There were 4 of us.

This is Jo.

Yes, Perth bloggers will see this pretty and friendly chick at the meet up on July. Sorry, she is taken. Her bf knows martial art well.

This is Robert, who knows martial art well. =D
Me ...
and my man, with crystal clear wine glass.Entree to start with. I had mushroom soup. Kian had linguni with seafood mix.

Main:

Reef and Beef. Nothing fancy =) I was rather disappointed with the rubberish texture of the clayfish. I wanted to bitch to the manager, but thinking of everybody seem having fun, and I think I better shut up..don't make noises. Create world peace, ay?

I asked for medium cooked beef. Turn out.. eh. But I still enjoy the beef with half-cooked pinky blood. I swear to Buddha, it was yummie. =D

Kian had fish steak. The greenish thing on top is ~~spanish~~ spinach.
Dessert:

Lemon with some funcky mix, served with ice-cream.

Pecan Pie. Jo loves it alot. I tried a bit. It was really yummie.

I am a dessert person. Most of the time, I like to complete my meal with sweet dessert. Chocolate tart served with ice cream. VS doesnt serve cheappy vanila ice cream. Most of their ice creams are quite unique. Not Gelare or Gelato type. I was amazed.

It was just a usual catch up session with Jo and Rob. Quite, yet hearty and fully contented.

Simple pleasure...

2006-05-27T20:51:00.000+08:00

I got tagged by Chen, as usual.

Simple pleasures ay? Plenty! I am very easy to please. Not fussy in some way =D

Can eat, can sleep, can shit.
Manage to dug out a big piece of nose poo from notril.
People smile to me =) *I smile all the time*
Long hot shower after long day and sipping hot milo as soon as I jump out from the tub.
Got blanketed and good night kiss at forehead from Kian before I go to sleep.
Watching comedies. Gervais or Brent. Any types =)
Finish a piece of art work.
Cooking turn out well.
I haven't gone broke.. still got few bucks in my wallet.
I am still alive =)

Simple. enough.

Double Shots Grande Latte

2006-05-26T17:14:00.000+08:00

Equally 4 shots of coffee from the expresso machine.

Yes. I needed that much caffeine so badly 'cause I knew I am going to have long *long* day. Started at 8pm, finished at 430pm. No lunch break.

The thing is... The lady at Vega Path Cafe didn't make a very good coffee. She overboiled the milk. It had tongue-burning temperature. Good for warming up my fingers thou.
So, guess what happend next?

I had to wait for approximately 30 minutes before I could get the caffeined effect:--stop falling asleep in the class.

And, by the time I started sipping the coffee... the lectures were almost half way thru'; my eyes were half way closed.

And..and.. I only started feeling awake, excited, fulled of adrenaline at the last 10 minutes of class.

Yay!!!

So, you tell me. Is was the coffee or is was just me?

What happen to the potluck?

I appreciate you send me an email, tell me your :
1) NAME (yeah, some of you got cute nick name)

Why so 'mah huan' / susah / complicated??
For futher use la. Think! Don't you all these information for blog update? Unless you don't love us.. We have new faces, and this is a big group. In case someone can't remember someone else name. So, the information will be useful. p/s: I won't post out your contact numbers in my blog one =) Unless you request for it. Still.. I don't do match-making thingy. =)
Yes, I know I am very organised.

Can I bring my friend(s)?
Yes, you certainly do. The handsomer/cuter the better. But, you still need to email me to tell me their name(s) before hand.

Eh.. I don't have a blog, I just read blogs, can I join you all?
I have a weblog, but I never update for ages? Can I join?
YES!!! YES!!!! You are very welcomed! But still, you need to email me your detail =)

It has been raining since this morning. According to the weather report, it should be cleared up by noon. Oh well, you can't blame the weather reporters for not telling the truth, sometimes the weather changes faster than anyone else can predict.

The sky has been greyish. Sunlight-less. It has been cold as well. *yawn* In such a demotivating weather, I am so wanting to hide my feet under the warm blanket, sipping hot coffee, and day-dreaming till sunset. =)

Oh well, I really wish!!!!

Midnight Blue-ish Crisis

2006-05-22T03:22:00.000+08:00

I am blued. I can't sleep. I am so tired, mentally. Couple of things happend over the weekend, and I have been thinking quite abit about that. My friend's dad past away; and I refused to admit that is a 'big thing'. Flame me! And call me biatch. After all, I just wanna live in denial--I seriously don't want to know what will happen if I am in this situation. Mind you, I haven't seen my dad for 2 years. I miss him. I seriously don't want anything to happen.

Hey! Slap me! or more appropriately: Hello!!! *knock*

Add a smiley icon... this is my all time favorite. It reflects me well--*smile*
If you looking at it at different angle, what would you think??
Milking a cow milk????? Or?? Use your imagination! =D
My cousin like to do this all the time--V. I see her pictures in friendster, and I swear to ~~God~~ Buddha, a 19-years old teen like this V thing alot!!! =) Blue + Middle finger=?? Use your brain. =DCan you do this finger movement ....and this movement quickly??Oh well.. after all, they are just a pair of blue gloves I've got from the lab. (excluding my Paul Frank)Blue gloves.. nothing really fancy and interesting.

So blue, so blurred... perfectly describe my mood and brain activity at the moment. Argh...Having mention, today is Monday. Bloody Monday!!

p/s: Finally I manage to 'drag' Kian to join me in my blog! WooHoo!! He is part-time blogger! Hahahahahah!!! Wah lau! If I really wanna count ah, I seriously don't know how many people were 'infected' by this blogging disease from me. Shiok! =)

Chunky Porridge

2006-05-20T23:35:00.000+08:00

To be honest with you, I am addicted to porridge. Any kind of porridge. Oriental or Western. You name it. Not much work or energy required to chew; I think mostly is temperature related issue --I need warm (close to hot) food =)

I haven't posting food post for awhile, so I am thinking of doing it today =) Yay!!!
I have chuncky fish, carrot and mushroom. Boil the rice with excessive water.
Then, add the mushroom and carrot. Stir constantly to prevent the rice 'stick' on the bottom of the pot.
On the other hand, lightly boil the fish in hot water. Don't use excessive heating, 'cause my instinct told me extra boiling may break the fish apart easily. Right? Not sure myself. Ask Cooknengr =P Nice and smooth chuncky fish cuts. ;)
Then add the fish to the porridge, stir lightly. Use low heating at this point.
You may add flavoring as well, such as chicken stock, soya source, salt or pepper.
For myself, I use few drops of soya source and a little bit of white pepper from Sarawak =)

Ta Dah!! Final product:--

The whole cooking process took less than 25mins. It is a simple and quick meal.

I use mug for porridge, soup, cereal..... Don't ask me why. =P

Have a nice Saturday! Keep warm everybody~!!!

^_*

Go with the wind.

2006-05-17T21:27:00.000+08:00

Hurray~! We completed the dinghy sailing course! It was all good. All good.

From the nearly-dead first lesson , our boat capsized, till we are able to sail with the wind. It is a great transformation. =) All those pictures below were taken by Encik Loo. Tee hee hee.. I dragged him with us.. Thanks dude!

The lady between us is Sal, she is our instructor. *leng lui* =) Ask Encik Loo.. he went on the same boat while we were having the training.

Sunny and beautiful day~! But, not always like that. When I first started, I always wish the wind is not strong, so I won't capsized. However, when we kinda able to handle it, we wish the wind is stronger.. how weird is that, human being! ;D

Me, as the crew.. not much fun cause most of the time I just sit back and relax. ekeke
Kian as skipper.. he controls the direction of the boat according to the shifts of the wind.

Oh! My man! =)
We do swap responsibilities as well.. I like to become the skipper when I can handle the wind. It is absolutely awesome!
There you go... Yay!

I am glad I never gave up on the first day.... *phew*

^_*

p/s: there was once, we had dolphins swam pass the boat.. it was absolutely fantastic!!!

Shiok~!!!!!!

Today is Mother's day.

2006-05-15T09:36:00.000+08:00

In case, you don't know. Or probably you were already over-informed by those commercials.

For me, is time to call home. Not only my mum, but my aunties (dad's two younger sisters and mum's only sister), my grandaunty (my dad's aunty (his mum's younger sister) ).

Sound like I have very busybody day, what you expect? I'm from a small happy family... everybody loves everybody. =)

I wish there is an extension phone in the heaven, 'cause I want to call my grandma. Today is her 3rd year leaving us. I still feel terrible for the whole thing.

My grandma suffered from brain and lung cancer (2003), which was re-occuring medical condition from 1998. Back then, she had kidney tumour.

Three years ago, she complaints about headache; I didn't know much that time. (even now, I also don't know much =P) So, with the encouragments from whole family, I took her to hospital. Yeah, why encouragement from whole family? 'cause they are too soft-hearted.(?) Grandma respected me the most among all the grandchildren as I am the eldest.

In the hospital, I informed the doctors must not tell her what-so-ever. All the information must went to my dad, uncles, aunties or me. Shamefully, there was this doctor with itchy anal and itchy mouth, told my grandma: 你的腦壞了! (Your brain is damaged) ~~Tiuniaseng that doctor~~

Grandma panic. Of course, she did. She told me off in the wad, right infront of my family: 卜你媽(F your mother),你不要以為你會講英文 (don't think you know how to speak English), 我不會聽 ( I don't understand).因為你帶我來看醫生('case you bring me to hospital) ; 醫生說我的腦壞了 (Doctor said my brain is damaged),我要死了(I am dying).

There you go. The first word, "F ur M" craked the ice in the whole ward, but the rest of the words haunted me for the rest of my life. Grandma was born in small town Teluk Intan, she wasn't really educated. She didn't swear, but the F thing, I could understand how depressed she was at that time.

I couldn't do much. I was upset. Damn! Why me? I was the youngest adult she could blame at that time..so, it was OK?(.)

I flew back to Perth after 3 days. The whole thing was hauting me, still... brain damaged..dying... my fault?

Few months later, she passed away. Dad didn't want me to know. But I have close aunty who informed me. I flew home. Didn't really dare to see her 'sleeping' in the coffin.

I bitched about my feeling to everyone at home. Yes, every single one. From dad to my cousin, my mum's highschool best friend--if I didn't get it out, I would probably die. Is like..er..you had gas in your stomach, and if you don't fart, it stinks!!!!!!!!

Oh well, it has been years now. What can I say.. Life is abit like that--Things come, things gone; people come, people gone.

Anyway, wish you all a Happy Mother's Day and feel happy to get your blood sucked by those expensive restaurants and florist!! Woohoo~!!!!!

=)

Distracted

2006-05-13T12:10:00.000+08:00

I went to Garden City, wanting to buy bean bags and shopping for a new mobile phone contract.
Shamelessly to say, I bought none of the bean bags nor phone... cause I was distracted by several very artistic boxes. Hmm, what's that? So, I bought one. ^_*

Oh! Didn't know it is a box of cigarette. *cough cough* PEEL Menthol Orange. How yum is that?
I like the packaging. FYI, I am a big sukker of fine art, you see. =)
I opened up the box, realising the alumnium foil used to protect the cigarette is somewhat very artistic too. No regret. Silver background with orange 'PEEL' wordings. How beautiful is that! Even the cigarette itself is so colorful. Darn those tobacco company!! They are indeed very creative and artistic. Like that idea of beautiful packaging.
Anyhoo.. I have no intention to encourage you ppl to smoke, you see. This is a message from Government::

Yeah, Smoking causes lung cancer. Scary right? =P

But, if you like to experience menthol orange flavor, I suggest this is what you can do.
You need 3 ingredients:
- a bubble tea jumbo size drinking straw
-an orange
- menthol chewing gum.

Chew the chewing gum. Meantime, smash the orange on the floor, or bang on the wall or hit it on your forehead, unpeeled. Poke the straw hard into the orange. Spit the gum, and suck the orange juice straight from the orange.

Yeah, I kid you not.

Try it! It is cool--exactly like the flavor of PEEL Orange Menthol. Just without nicotine.

Trust me! ^_*
