Target of the year

One of my 2011 target is to donate my first pint of blood. Hopefully in the second quarter of the year.

Feel like writing Chinese

读了敷米漿的部落格后突然有股冲劲想用华语写部落。

可是我最近都没什么新奇的东西可以部落。就忙生活嘛，每天做十到十二个小时的工，不算是最勤劳的员工但是我喜欢努力的自己。 ^^ 只要做好自己的本分就好。

马拉松的筹款反映非常热烈，现在我已经筹了RM325。还差RM175就达成目标了! =D 加油加油！

妈妈昨晚好像很担心我会被人拐掉。不用担心啦，就朋友出来吃晚餐罢了，没什么啦。我跟他已经不会擦出什么火花了，纯粹是单纯的朋友关系。我很喜欢这种感觉，这种有话就讲有屁就放的沟通方式。哈哈...


这个星期六我要开始学瑜伽了。阿姨说他们没有初学班。我只需要跟着做他们的动作就好，做不到也不用勉强。天啊！我阿姨已经学了几年了，我直接加入他们的班会不会有点高难度啊? 有一点担心身体柔软度不好会扭到腰。还真怕的说...

今天一个印度同事问我怎么不穿OL装去上班。啊其实呢，本小姐衣橱里的OL衣只有衬衫和西裤，那些比较华丽比较stylish的OL装就.... 其实本小姐的fashion sense 是几乎零的。除了T-shirt和牛仔裤我不会佩其他的衣服。所以我比较华丽的衣服都是整套的。所以如果要买穿美美出街的衣服，我都一律只买连身裙。哈哈... 这样就不用愁穿了会不会很lala,或者很aunty。最近好想买一些不同感觉的衣服。可是我一定买不下手。因为跟我的形象太格格不入了...

好像这件雪纺衣。天啊！我穿这件衣一定很奇怪耶... 这不是我的style.



还是这类型的比较适合我???



前几天我上网定购了这件（下图）。我只定购一件 (RM42 包邮寄费），因为我担心货不对版，到时捶胸揣足也没有用了。希望这件的质地不会让我失望啦...



期待着....

Super Duper Luper Zuper RANDOM!

I like this song! Heard it on radio over and over again and can't help fall in love with this song.

Fireflies by Owl City

Very fantasy-like. I can imagine millions of fireflies floating on grass lawn at night litting up the grass in the dark. And there's a dimly lit swing, a couple sitting there. Wind caressing their faces softly. And the stars above blinking with the fireflies. =) Nice right?

I'm not continuing my Korean class already. So sad.. But what to do. I have to save the money for other purposes already. Have to stop spending money on Korean language unless I hit a jackpot. lol! But if I hit jackpot the first thing I will do is not to get myself a Korean class though.

Hmm... If i hit a jackpot now I will go Korea. Second will be a Europe backpack trip. And then keep the rest. hehe..

Recently I dunno what I can write in my blog. Actually I got lots of things to blog about:

the swimming session with Christal and Luyi
the 'kidnap series' by some of the Raleigh comm.
the near-accident incident yesterday due to a reckless driver (not me! It's someone who doesn't see properly before change lane)
the newly bought Braun epilator (yeay!)
the pictures of the funny Adam and cutie Kexin I promised to post on the blog
the yoga class which I'm gonna join
the year end plan with the girls
the beach vacation plan with Zhuang
my new perfume!

And most importantly my kai-ma (kai-ma is godmother in Cantonese. But she's actually a goddess called 妈祖) say 2010 is a good year for me, although at first will have difficulties, but afterwards everything, literally everything from work, finance, health, family, relationships etc etc, will be brilliant! Hehe.. Not really kai-ma la.. just that Cheng Yee says I every year must go Tian Hou Gong see her and tilik nasib with her, she say the Goddess is like my kai-ma lo...

-

Wah.. Just read a bit about 妈祖 (or also known as 天妃、天后、天上圣母、娘妈). She was human. Her dad is a public servant (巡检官). She's a Hokkien. She's actually from a family of 5, the youngest daughter in family, very intelligent, lived by a sea, love to swim, love to do charity, love to save fishing boats, is a hero in her village, everyone ask for her advice when they got trouble. She died when she was 28 yrs old. After she died people still see her saving fishing boats in the sea. So, people started to call her 神女 or 龙女. Throughout the years people give her different names. That's why she got so many names. But I always forgot what she's called whenever I wanna talk about her and eventually will say "neh.. my kai-ma lo..."

I every year must go find her to 求签 one.. Because every time also very accurate. Hehe. And last year I was scolded by her in the 签. Really very accurate. I really did something silly. And she scolded before I did the mistake. After I did already only I understand what she mean.

Full house food and drinks cannot eat one..














I can never act sexy.. Coz I'm not..


Kexin got the potential.. Even Adam's palm faced up meaning he cannot resist Kexin's sexiness. Hehe....

화이팅!

월요일에 한국어 시험이 있어요. 저는 지금 공부해야 해요.

내일 아침 일찍 잃어나야 해요. 동료하고 같이 Putrajaya에 hot air balloon을 보러 갈 거예요. 정말 기다려요! 그래서 내일 아침에 공부하지 못해요. 그러니까 저는 이제 공부해야 해요.

화이팅!!



Note: Whoa! This is my first Korean post. *Clap clap* Next time I should push myself to write more in Korean to practice my Korean writings =) And about speaking... Hmm.. I still have to find a a Korean to practice my speaking. Nobody can practice with me~~ Sob....

Little bit of random photos


My favourite sandwich dinner which saves me from cooking and tapao trouble. =P


My cousin taking photos of the Alice in the Wonderland scene in Midvalley


My job that requires lots of patience reading the DNA bands and recording the band size one by one.


Met up with Yee Kheng last month


Nicely braised tofu and eggs in Canton-i @ S. Pyramid


Played with photoshop

Pieces of nothing

Formatted my PC. Antivirus keeps popping out boxes saying virus is detected but it could not remove the virus. That's why I'm lazy to on my PC for 2 days.

Reading a Taiwan Novel about friendship. It makes me appreciate the time with the girls more.

Still cannot accept the fact that my supervisor is leaving the company, leaving me. Maybe it is time to be independent.

Forehead a bit warm. Maybe eaten too much heaty stuff.

Very anticipated to go orphanage later.

Singing along with Eason Chan's MV "浮誇" on Youtube just because I could not pronounce the Cantonese in the karaoke with colleague yesterday.

I love the way he sing 浮誇. The emotion. And the song feels like "I write sins not tragedies" by Panic at the Disco. But Eason's 浮誇 is more explosive. =D

Love the moment spent with the girls last night at my house. It gave me the exact feeling from the friendship in "Sex and the City". I hope, like those ladies in Sex and the City, we can even bring our kids to our gathering in the future. =)

Just some pieces of me here and there. To share with all of you. =)

Shifted house

Hey folks! Sorry I haven't been updating my blog for SIX days!

Actually I was shifting house from USJ to Sunway on Sunday. I only manage to set up my PC on Tuesday. It was a dread to me not being able to go online for 2 days! Plus these few days the connection hasn't been good.

Guess what? I went nuts when I could not find the power cable linked to the CPU when I was setting up the PC. I went searching in the whole (new) room but couldn't find it. But I remember I had cleared the old room in USJ before I left the room. I was frantically telling my mum that I could not even switch my PC on without the cable! Then my clever mum told me that I actually can use the cable we use for rice cookers. I quickly ended the conversation with mum and tried it with the rice cooker cable. It worked! When the screen came alive I almost danced around my PC worshipping the rice cooker cable. lol.

Wednesday night went to a motivational talk in Damansara which was pretty enlightening. After listening to it, I feel more courageous facing problems in life. Grab some of the great lines I got from the talk:

1. We get what we ARE, not what we WANT
-meaning: what you get in your life now is actually a reflection of you character and behaviour. So you are the one who is fully responsible on the incidents around you, good or bad. Which is quite common sense isn't it?

2. The future will be the same if you dun change yourself
-So start changing today into a suitable person (more confident, cheerful, wise, determined) in life fitting into the requirements to get what you want in your life!

3. Master your mind, don't be mastered by your mind
-Control yourself from being slacking, being low confident, moody etc. because we are the one who should control our mind and deeds, not our feelings.

4. This too will pass
- This is a sentence you should always tell yourself when you are in bad times. Because bad times will pass. And we must not forget that good time will pass too.


And a confident person will tell him/herself that

"The world is a better place because I'm living in it"



p/s: The new neighbour has two very very pretty dogs. I'm gonna try get closer with them slowly. Keke..

p/p/s: Not yet taken a photo of my house. Actually its' just like normal house. So I'm still thinking wanna post it up or not.. Plus, I'm worry about privacy issue.

Of Frankenstein and Van Gough

Actually when I was typing in previous post that I am trying hard to live my life. I mean I am trying really hard but didn't mean I manage to live my life. I feel lost, empty, depressed (again), useless and alone (nobody to depend on). And I dun feel like doing anything.

I started walking alone in Pyramid again before meeting up Yun Ying. First time after the break up. And the familiar lonely feelings came back to me when I saw loving couples pass by. But this time, I have no one with me. Which makes me feel even more lonely. And the pain was then gradually building up again. I think it did not start when I walked alone in Pyramid last night. I had this empty feeling few days ago especially when I'm driving coz you cant do other stuff to keep yourself occupied when you're driving. And the only thing you can do when you are driving is to think which either brighten up your mood or dampen your mood. My mindset automatically chose the second. How pessimistic. (I'm not always cheerful as some of you might think)

I suddenly found something fresh to occupy my soul when I saw the painting stall in Pyramid new wing last night. It was the Starry Starry Night by Vincent Van Gough, my favourite painting. If you read my blog very long time ago you will know, else, just see here for more detail.

It was staring at me from the ground floor when I was at the second floor going to Popular Bookstore. I got attracted to it. Headed to ground floor instead of the bookstore. RM300 per piece. Even though it's just a fake, but it's still too expensive for me. So this idea came to me. How about draw a painting for my room deco so that my room will be brightened up a bit? Cool idea right? Hehe. But I still thinking wanna draw Starry Starry Night or not. Coz if you know the story of Van Gough, you will know how lonely this painting represents. I duwan it to amplify my loneliness.

And then I walked back to Popular again. Came out with a box of Buncho crayon and a piece of thick drawing paper. Mum, if you're reading this dun nag me for buying the crayon when I can take free good quality crayon from home. Coz I cannot tahan already ma.. Wanna fast fast draw liao ma. Hehe. Cannot wait until bro passes it to me. Dun worry, it's a medium size box, not the big one. Wont be as expensive.

So this is my personal mini project. A painting for room deco. =)


---------------------

Forgot to write the review on this book I just finish reading.

Next. By Michael Crichton.


This cover is the one I have. Got it in MPH warehouse sales at lower price. RM20+ if not mistaken.

But I think this cover looks more appealing. Hmm..


I love this book!


He argues about the ethical problem that will arise from genetic engineering in a very Frankenstein manner. He tells it in short interlinked stories which is surprisingly pretty persuasive to me. I hate novels which are draggy (like Lord of the Ring). This novel has a fast pace, fast enough to keep me awake to read it. =P And it is addictive enough to keep me reading it when I was waiting for traffic lights while driving. Hehe. Ok ok. No more reading when driving now since I've already finish reading it.

He even put 7 pages of references (mostly journals) at the last few pages of the book. And he also put 8 pages of his own opinions on the gene patenting, use of human tissues, gene testing, bans on some genetic researches in some countries and the Bayh-Dole act. Very scientific feel. Makes me feel so sciencesick (derived from homesick. hehe)


-----------------


Oh. Talking about science fictions. I bought several old 1980s science fictions from the bookfair in 3K Subang Jaya long time ago before I graduated. And the first few pages already brought me plenty of cold sweat. The story is about the world in 2030. And this sentence talking about how hightech the typewriter will be in 2030... When I saw this sentence I suddenly lost my "apetite" to continue reading the book. I's like, hello? We dun use typewriter anymore now. We use PDAs if you want hightech for heaven's sake. lol. I'm bad.

And after that I swore to myself I will never ever buy old outdated science fictions again. Ever.


------------------


And talking about typewriter. Ah~~ Sweet memories. I miss the 'keching' sound when it got to the next line. Hehe. And I miss how I hate stucking my fingers into the holes in between the buttons. It peeled my skin. And the tapping sounds of the sticks (dunno how to call it). And how I always liked to touch the ink strips when I was wondering where the printed words came from. I was 9... I was just playing around with the typewriter =)

p/s: For those of you who are too young to know how a typewriter looks like. =P It looks like this:

I am sitting in front of the PC typing...

I'm very down today. I had my heart torn for him last night. I guess I hurt him. I didn't meant to hurt him. I was hoping that it could be a negative motivation for him after so many unsuccessful positive motivations I've made. I guess it did not motivate him from his response last night. It hurt him instead. So, I was torn coz I feel useless, being really useless in encouraging him. And at the same time am angry with him giving up himself.

Sigh. Sometimes, some negative emotions deep down, you need to fix it yourself. Nobody can mend it. Because it needs your determinations. I hope you can slowly fix it.

----------------------

Am at my aunt's house for mooncake festival coz I heard my brother will be coming to her house too. But, when I'm already here to stay for the weekend only he told me he is only coming for Sunday dinner. I was like..

Plus, Zhuang is out to a friend's birthday party. Left Mei who is supposed to study for her PMR. Sigh, should have stayed at home and accompany Audrey and go shopping with her. Feel sorry for her, just like I felt sorry for CP two weekends ago.

Anyway, I'm really glad that me and bro is getting closer compared with last time when we were like total strangers ever since I came here to further my studies. I'm appreciating every bit of the moments. =)

-----------------------

Received an email from Nuffnang two weeks ago for a confirmation for a CPM advertisement (the Guiness ad which is showing now). Yeay! Finally! After waiting for so long. =P CPM means the pay is depending on the number of visitor per day I have in my blog.

Sigh. Too bad, my blog visitor count is not high enough to get me fruitful earnings.

But nevermind. I was surprised when a second email from Nuffnang asking for a confirmation for another CPM advertisement (this time Tiger. Another alcohol pula?). Am so excited coz at least the advertisement in my blog won't sometimes appear sometimes disappear already. The advertisement campaign will be held until 12th October! =D

Hmm.. Not so down already. Hehe. Very easy to be pleased am I? =)

P/S: What time is it now? 10.20pm? But I'm hungry already.. =(

I miss the bubble tea in Sunway College. =( It's very different from those sold outside. The tea flavour is very strong thus counteracting the milky taste. I like!

Every time going back from work I have the urge to drive to Sunway to get one. But too bad, there are 3 reasons I can't go Sunway College:

(1) I'm no longer a Sunway student since 2003
(2) Monash has shifted and separated from Sunway. So I cannot use the name of a Monash alumni to get in Sunway campus
(3) By the time I reach there the stall is already close




--------------------------------


Sometimes when driving, I cannot tahan those motorcyclist who ride at the middle of the road.

I thought they are supposed to ride near the lines of the road?

They are like blocking car's way when they are riding at the middle of the road. If they ride fast it's ok la. Problem is most of the motor ride very slow, summore wanna block the way. Ish! Geram....


-------------------------------


Dunno is it my tilam problem or my sitting position when using the PC at home, I have frequent back pain recently since before Gunung Irau, then after Irau the pain disappeared a while and it came back again now.

Sigh. What's the problem le? Why last time dun have such problem one? Only these few months started to have this back pain. But when I cut down the time sitting in front of the computer I feel better the next day. But why last time I have no problem even if I sit long hours in front of the computer?

No idea. It's either I get a proper desk and chair for me to sit (currently doing Japanese style, sitting on the floor while using my computer) or get a better bed.

Food Food Food!

Very long time never update already. Paiseh. Hehe.

Last last Friday went to Pyramid just wanna get some dinner with Audrey. While waiting for Audrey in Pyramid I heard loud musics outside. So I just follow the music and saw this:

Hop2daBeat competition


The environment was well heated up. Good job Inti College!

I enjoyed the cool dance moves, cool beats, cool MCs, cool judges.

The famous handsome Jien was there!! This was the first time I saw his real person!! But only saw the side of his face.



Then after that went to meet up Aud. And we bumped into CP and her boyfriend. lol. So we makan together lo. On CP's request, we went to Zanmai Sushi.

Saw AhYam with his girlfriend again for the 'N'th time in Pyramid already. It's not that I care or mind but I think he and his girlfriend is really a good match la. One handsome one pretty. hehe.


Ordered and shared salmon sashimi with Audrey. My favourite! Especially when it is dipped with salty shoyu. =) And the radish dipped with sweet shoyu is also nice!


-------------------------------------


I talked about the mysterious present for someone right? Hehe.

It's for New

Cute right? The package. Cheap but classy. From Living Cabin. Only RM4.50. No need to get expensive box from Memory Lanes. Hehe.

------------------------------------


Oh. And last Sunday I had my Part B Life Saving exam at Bangsar swimming pool in the sports centre. It was 4m deep. Luckily the syllabus says we only need to dive in 1.8m to pass the exam. My eardrum still restricts me from diving to 4m depth. I managed to dive 3m though. Enough for the exam already. hehe. And we learned a lot of bandaging techniques for wounds and bone dislocation, from palm, to hand, shoulder, chest, head, knee and foot. Hope I will remember every bandage la. Hehe. Coz it was quite a crash course.

One girl didn't make it for the towing part. She couldn't finish the swim 50m tow 50m within 3 mins 15 secs. She din pass the exam. Dunno whether she will try again next time or not. Hmm..

After we came back from Bangsar, we passed by this stall beside the road in Sri Petaling, selling cendol and rojak. Cendol! My favourite!


I never say no to roadside stall cendols. hehe.

But too bad my tastebud was affected by my flu and couldn't really taste the cendol. Next time I'll go try the cendol pulut. I think it will taste nice.

Ahhh~~ Childhood nostalgia. Brings back my childhood memories of my dad bringing me to this small Indian stall and ordered cendol pulut, each of us took a small bowl. Yum! My dad had a big influence on my eating habit. First, cendol. Second, Teh-O-ice. =P I can't live without these.


-------------------------------------

Last Friday was Wan Chin's last day. We went to Nando's at Subang Parade as a farewell celebration for her.


Nando's icon. The peri-peri chili.


I always order this combo whenever I come to Nandos. The fresco salad is a must. It blends well with the garlic sauce. Yum! Then I either choose corn or chips. Corns can blend well with the garlic sauce too! =D But sometimes when I'm lazy to cut the corn then I will order chips. =P

I dun have the group photos with me. It's all in Wan Chin's camera.

-------------------------------------

Yesterday went to PC fair with CY and her boyfriend. I bought a LiteOn DVD writer for desktop which only cost RM78 (IDE type is RM78, Sata type is RM86). And help Audrey to buy LiteOn external DVD writer for laptop which cost RM199.

After the PC fair CY and her boyfriend brought me to Petaling Street to have a taste on the good food there. I chose asam laksa. hehe. Coz when I passed by the stall the asam smell already lurked my tastebud. Saliva almost dripped out. Hehe.


Asam laksa served with fish. The soup very tasty. It has sufficient sour and spicy taste. Not too over not too diluted. Ngam ngam the sour and spiciness. This can be considered the top 3 asam laksa I tasted so far. Another 2 more are from my aunt (vegetarian asam laksa. Taste nice with the help of magic of serai) and another from the one in Penang Gurney Drive.


The stall. I dunno the name of the stall. Hehe. It's in Petaling Street itself.


The tables and stools.


This shop is posted here on CY's request. Hehe. It's CY's bf's parents shop in a building near the Petaling Street.


------------------------------------

I know this post is really random la. But sometimes no time to write blog ma. Hehe. So jumble up all together lo.


I have a curtain crisis right now!!


The hole is getting bigger and bigger coz the cloth is already fragile. Everytime I open it it got teared up a bit. Sigh. Close curtain also no use.

I desperately need a curtain. =P

Maybe will try to stitch it back first before I get a new one. lol. But am very sure it will get teared up somewhere else. Haha.


-----------------------------------

Yesterday downloaded an online game called HighStreet5.



It's pretty new I think. Tried the game last night. Was pretty tough for me coz I have clumsy fingers. Bad with pianos, keyboard, guitar and the list goes on. Haha.


You can customize your own character. Name, zodiac, height, length of arm and leg, and head, chest, hips and shoulder size.

I go play now lo. Ciao! =P
