Come a nerdish halloween

Went out with the girls on Deepavali

And took some photos. Hehe.







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


It can be considered a tragedy that up till now I haven't been to any Halloween party in my life! If I have the chance to attend one, I want my first trial to be a NERD. Keke..

Something like this:


And then I will bring along a small kid school bag. Muahaha.

Planes only symbolise separation to me...

Finally collected the photos from Wey Yiing from our previous meet up. Here they are!



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


Me, Lian Shiang and Lay Khoon had a farewell breakfast with Dr Ooi in Klang last Sunday

**Pictures below taken from Shiang's camera**


This is the famous old Bak Kut Teh Shop which is called as "The under the bridge Bak Kut Teh"



See the 'bridge' behind me? It's actually an overbridge

The herbal taste is very strong but the soup is not very thick. The pork is soft to chew on! =D

Pork intestines and stomach

Si tao poh preparing Bak Kut Teh

Her husband was taking a break. Hehe


And then we took a lot of pictures in Monash =P

Some are quite funny. I just put the nice one here la.

Salute!

(My singlet too short until my fat belly come out already. hehe.)

In the School of Engineering staff room


This is the farewell gift Shiang suggested to give Dr Ooi. From me, Shiang, Lay Khoon and Audrey.

Oh my baby blog I wont abandon you again

I didn't realized how detached I was from my blog and the internet until I read an email from 2 days ago just now (Last time I checked my Gmail at least everyday).

I'm really busy this week mainly on these:

1. Preparing for tuition stuff coz it's the last day of tuition with the Form 4 kids today and I hope I can give them my best. (15% of my free time)
2. Meeting up Steven (20% of my free time)
3. Sleep like there's no tomorrow because of headache (20% of my free time)
4. Watch Korean drama (45% of my free time)

Hehe. I hope this won't happen so frequently in the future coz jumbling and summarizing everything together in ONE post is really messy.

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

Updates updates! From last week till now! hehe. I know it's long.And this post will be really long too. =P But no worries. Coz I will cut the words and let the pictures do the talking.


CP's farewell with a fruitcake in Audrey's room

A breakfast in Old Taste

Me and Audrey just realized that both of us fancy having early breakfast outside very much. We woke ourselves earlier than normal last Saturday just for a breakfast before we go to work.


French toast, roti bakar (toast) and hazelnut coffee for me
Tuna sandwich, roti bakar and white coffee for Olie

Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival at Time square


And found that I actually have no interest in how to play with lights and contrast and the shutter speed or what not. But I love to see the photos in the exhibition. And ...my goodness ! Nowadays cameras are so cheap! RM800 for a 10 megapixel thin and sleek camera with pretty big zoom in magnitude (is it called magnitude? lol) and anti-shock function plus 2GB memory card! Oh my god! How I wish I can buy one. Sob sob.

Pardon the number of pictures in the festival. So many people are carrying their SLR cameras around I dun have the gut to take picture with my handphone camera. hehe.

Meet up Steven

We had dinner at Gasoline in Pyramid



It's really dark inside. I recommend you bring a torch if you want to read the menus there. (Oops! I forgot I have a torch in my handbag stand by)


The lamb chop I ordered is so-so la. Got a very strong frozen food taste. But the rest says their food are quite nice.

Tried Skin Food masks


So cute! Looks like ice-cream


It looks like this inside


With a ice-cream spoon too!


Mix it and ta-da! It's ready to be applied to the face. This one is rose petals and herbs facial mask


Looks like monster. lol.


As the name says it: Cocoa and honey mask


The cocoa powder smells just like those cocoa powder for baking.


After mixing with honey. It looks just like the chocolate ice-cream topping of Mc Donald's sundae. And it smells like chocolate brownies!


At that moment this chocolate mixture looks edible to me.

But I finally managed to persuade myself that it is NOT food and sadly dabbed it on my face. I felt like licking those chocolate around my mouth too. But the thought of this chocolate mixture might have some inedible stabilizing agents in it stopped me from doing so.


Do I look like African? lol

p.s. Talk about Africans I hate it when the Africans staying next door say something like "Hey! Pretty girl. How are you?" to me. As if I know them like that. Makes me feel so insecured staying here.

Never mind. I'm shifting anyways. Keke. Cant wait.

Double rainbows


Such a rare beauty having two rainbows lying parallel by each other. They brightened up my mood that day.

Cancer promoter in plastics

OK. This is a big news to me.

Not the tendency of plastic causing cancer. I knew this years ago. But all these while I don't know what type of plastic can cause cancer. Tupperware claims that their plastics won't. But I didn't buy their plastics coz it's pretty costly to me.

I'm using a plastic water bottle coded "7" at the bottom almost everyday. Basically I just drink water from this bottle everyday, even at home when glasses are available. I dun like to drink from glasses coz you have to keep refilling it whenever you want to drink water. Hehe. I'm such a lazy bum. All these while I thought the Code 7 plastic is safe to be used. I read it somewhere that it is. And I read that this kind of plastic can contain hot water and will not pose any health risks to consumers.

But, I found something contradicting just now. Last night, I went to Popular bookstore and for the very first time I feel like reading the magazine American Scientist there. And there's one article about polycarbonate made from a compound called bisphenol-A which can affect reproductory system. For example, egg defects, mammary gland cancer and prostate cancer. 40% of rodent babies staying in plastic cages washed frequently with acidic cleaning agents were found to have egg defects. I see no reason why human babies who consume bisphenol-A leached from the milk bottles made of polycarbonate due to high temperature or acidic conditions will not be affected. (Ok. Now I'm worried that my milk bottle 24 years ago is made of polycarbonate)

However no significant findings on human yet plus government keep saying the low dose of BPA in polycarbonate plasticwares will not pose any adverse effects on human (maybe because they don't want to admit this due to worry of the lost of certain benefits), I still feel that my lovely Code 7 bottle is a threat to me coz Code 7 plastics are made of chapalang compounds, one of which include polycarbonate. Somemore I always put hot water in to disinfect it. I think I've consumed enough bisphenol-A to make me a Superwoman. lol.

Sigh. But we have no choice but to use these plasticwares. Or should I start looking for Tupperware products? But in fact some Tupperware products also contains bisphenol-A according to this site. Sigh. Maybe I should chop down a bamboo and make myself an organic water bottle. lol.

Admiring Jay's creations

I found several Jay's new song in Youtube just now. I love love love Jay's new song - 稻香 - MV!

I hope this song can reduce suicide cases coz it says "Even if you've lost everything, appreciate everything left with you" "Hang on, don't give up on yourself yet!" "Give yourself a smile, fame is not everything". Of all the lines, one line makes me wanted to cry. It says "go home, go back to the perfect simplicity" Oh! How I wish I can go home now. =( Homesick already.



Other than this famous song, I got attracted to one of the songs called 乔克叔叔. Normal people will not like this song. Hehe. But I'm one weirdo who likes weird songs with outstanding tunes (I think it is outstanding la. coz normal commercial songs will not have such tunes). =P If you have time to listen to it, click on the Youtube link below. Then you will know how weird this song is. lol.


Actually I only found these two songs special. The rest are quite normal.
