MIA

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 13:38:02 GMT

All these MIA is partly due to...

...prawn picking?!!!!

Pick prawns also must look 'chio' please.

Haha. No!!! Finals are next week, sob.
And I am still blogging, sigh.

Anyway, I have been thinking of switching from Xanga to Blogspot,
because of Streamyx, The Laggy, I can't really log into my own Xanga, bleh.

So in the mean time, can anyone figure out a Blogspot add for me?!
Nothing fanciful, perhaps, portrays me.=))

Good day!

BBQ!

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:07:53 GMT

Yay! I <3 BBQs, because, I love food! Last night, Raya's first day,
we had a lil BBQ at Ah Bun Ah Yee's place.

All pictures credit to Mindy Chung!

It was a pool party cum BBQ party cum badminton session.

Children dipping in the pool.

Task of fire lighting.

My ultraman!!! Who is sadly, very afraid of water.

Haha. He begged his mum to get him out of water.
How sad, I feel he is going to be like me, afraid of waters.

Or maybe I cannot do well in waters.

Doing some pokings for the wings.
Very very dangerous task, do not try it at home.

Well, I am assigned to tasks which are risky to life.
Fire lighting, and wings poking.

Photographer whom I stole the pictures from.
Who is wearing my pyjamas to a party. HAHA!

Hell yeah, food. The rendang was GOOD stuff.

Rock out! Hehe!! And I am not an idiot.

Still assigned to the most difficult job of the night.

I still remembered, in Form One, when we had Backwood's Man Cooking,
I was laughing at Weng Fatt crying because he was cooking sausages for us,
I finally felt how it feels like. Hehe.

We had fantastis.fantastic food that night!

7 Up wings, Teriyaki Kebab, real good pork, corn, potato, rendang, Japanese salad, fruit salad, mee.
Yummaaaay!

I left with a full tummy hello! Haha.

Happy Raya to alllllll my Muslim friends!
Maaf zahir & batin!

celebrating Yee Vonn's 20th birthday and the mooncake festival as well.

Awesome night with many surprises along the way.
Though, we got kinda lost, but I was really good in finding Brandon's friend's place! Haha.

Wishing my sexy a very very happy 20th birthday!
Hope this year's birthday was a great one for you.
Many blessings in the year ahead! <3<3

Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2008

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:36:35 GMT

*Edited*
So this year, I tried taking nicer pictures, wtf. My pictures can never be clear wan lo.

However, this year I used tripod. I have very shaky hands.

I hope Malaysia won it. I am not too sure of the results.
This year's competition's theme was Colours of Malaysia.

I barely made it there due to jam. Sigh. But thank God, seriously.

Ps: If it seems as if the slideshow keeps repeating, please dun give up on me. Photobucket needs some time to load finish all 51/52 pics, I am not too sure. So give it a minute or maybe 2 depending on your internet speed! Thanks everyone!

Today is Merdeka Eve, on a quite bright morning...no, afternoon. I just woke up, so it feels as if it's morning. Remember one week ago, I did a post on 'What's cooking on a Thursday afternoon?'? This week, I made some pasta on Thursday as well!

I made Tossed Pasta, which you can quite easily get at The Apartment or Delicious @ Ms. Read for maybe RM15?

A lot of garlic, olive oil, salt, mixed herbs and chilli flakes will do just nice for me. Added with powdered cheese, yum. Or is it because I was hungry? Haha. I always liked simple pastas.

I made carbonara too, but some people destroy it. Chis.

Yesterday, the MSN chatroom gang met up at Sunway Pyramid for lunch, and we were so damn torn over what to have for lunch, we had to ask a Shemale what to have for lunch. (seriously, can't Sunway hire er, normal people)

In the end we er decided on Italiannies, where we laughed at Yee Vonn's pipe stories!

Don't forget to take some time off to camwhore. And yes! I keep shoes in my room, if not my mother will notice how many shoes I have?

Traditional Tuscan and Focaccia bread serve with Balsamic vinegar and olive oil with seven secret herbs.
Which I always like with a little salt and pepper.

Pictures of human feasting! Sorry, no pictures of Jack. The lighting doesn't like him at all.

Garlic chicken pizza and Classic Carbonara which I remember I used to have it every night when I was working back at Italiannies.

Abee and I like it when, we add onions to it, and sub the fettucine into spaghetti, yums!!! Classic carbonara ala our style. And....the GM (what's his name again?) owes us....6.5 lunches.

Bittersweet memories of everyone at Italiannies wtf, I missed Faiz and Bart, because Bart calls me Mum! And Nicol. Haha. wtf.

Anyway, I need to eat, but there is nothing to eat! Good day mates!

What's cooking on a Thursday afternoon?

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:12:43 GMT

I usually have Thursdays off. Which can be such a delightful treat.
But often enough, one day is not enough!

Usually I spend my Thursdays sleeping, lazing around and maybe study.
But today, I woke up quite early to the beeping of my phone, regarding how some guy was sitting in front of her and many other messages, which I still slept through because of the fantastic magnificient weather.
<3 rainy mornings!

I sleep rather very lightly in the morning, so I wake up to beepings of my phone, vibrating movements and what nots.
Quite annoying at times.

This morning was GREAT! I slept through though heard beepings regarding WK. Sigh.

I woke up around noon to eat....and lazed around watching the Olympics! I <3 laid back, lazy days!
How stress free. <3<3<3

Anyways, I made dumplings today! To just test my pathetic skills.

Ingredients for dumplings *water dog* not wantans!

Some filling onto the pastry which you can find at markets.
My mother said you can put pork *nyum*, fish paste, chicken, some waterchest nuts, chung(the green stuff, I don't know what you call them) or carrots.

However, today was fish paste with chicken!

I put too little filling and sigh, thus, not very nice today.

Fold them and press it flat, so it gets cooked faster,
which made the thing even worse, because I put too little filling. Sigh.

Raw finished product!

You can choose to fry them or make the soupy ones.
I volunteered for the soupy ones, because I wanted to practise making soup, wtf.
But my mum made a few of fried ones too.

Giving flavour to the soup using anchovies. Ajinomoto free soup!!

Once anchovies removed, soup will be like this, however, don't forget the salt!

Some vege and putting the dumplings in,
wallllaaaa, end results!
Scrumptious dumplings which aren't so scrumptious.

I promise I will practise harder! People say practice makes perfect!

Before I go, camwhore pictures of myself.

I tried to curl my hair this noon, but why is my hair so stubbornly straight.
And I think my sisters finished up my styling gel, sigh.

Still too short to curl, give me a few months!

Good day people!!!

Wishing you a happy happy Friday and a wholesome weekend!

Making minutes to remember a day.

Monday blues, sudden urge to blog. But nothing much about how I feel, more on how I've been.
So if you don't care, you can don't read.

However, please note that, my blog, is a personal blog. Recordings of my daily life for future reference.

Today I feel, depressed. wtf. Monday blues.

These are DIY-ed notes for myself. Which consists of deadlines to be met over the next few weeks, which I find is ridiculous!!!!

Orange notes!

Sometimes, I feel this is a bit too much to handle. On the other hand, sometimes I really like working under pressure like this. Keeping myself busy keeps me on my feet.

I have three big events every week for two weeks straight.
Week 9 : Two visiting lecturers in town(that makes 16 fucking hours of classes), Law deadline and a mid semester test for Financial Markets.
Week 10: Mid semester testS for Empirical Studies and Price Theory, IN CONJUNCTION with second Law assignment deadline. wtf.
I mean, seriously, wtf. Haha. Why so many deadlines to meet?

Anyhows, Kelly asked me to do the tag some days before this and doing it in a hurry(was trying to finish my Financial Markets assignment up), now, for I am proud to announce I have finally finished my god-damn assignment, 3 days before deadline, which is quite an achievement, ....back to square one, I want to continue the tag.

Thinking of things which I like really makes me happy!

Wat u like?

I like, myself. Shopping. Having some quality time alone. Reading. Jap food, Italian food, Chinese food, basically, well, food. I like to daydream, thus wasting my own time. I like to LAUGH!! Love talking. wtf. I really like making people laugh/smile. I really like my new deodorent. I love, big fluffy pillows with thick quilts! I like anything in white! White roses, white dresses. Occassionally, I like studying, keeps me on my feet. Love people who dares to dress and people in colourful clothing <3 I like kiwi fruit... Love salty food. Loves people who expresses themselves! Money, ka-ching. Sappy, sad, movies which makes me cry a bucketful. Emotional music which makes me drown in my own tears. Fetish for white shoes. I heart CHEESE! Love to people-watch. Camwhoring! Like my family, nephews, close friends and relatives. Kingston, Winnie, Bee Bee. I like yellow colour too. Gossiping <3!!! Fluffy thick towels from Ikea! Love their Swedish meatballs and curry puffs too! Like dancing! Not the clubbing kind. Sometimes I like driving, sometimes I like to be driven around. At times I like nature, but I am a city girl. I love Thailand! Pork noodles, pan mee, sanma fish@ Zanmai. I <3 Penang and its food! I love or chien, char kuey teow, lor bak, the Air Itam asam laksa, its cendol. I love the Curry Chicken bread in Ipoh too! <3<3 Kampachi, best Jap food in town. I <3<3<3 Zara to the max, and all its other partners, like Pull&Bear! Sometimes I like Forever 21 but most of the time, they're overpriced! And I recently found Springfield, which can bring such good buys! I like the salty chicken at the pasar malam near my house, nyums! Sometimes like hot, heaty Takoyaki. I <3 flea markets as well, but the Curve one is so commercialized. I like the Cheese naan in Steven's corner! I love singing in the shower. wtf. Popcorn @ GSC 1u haha. Like reading jokes, and telling jokes. I like fireworks! Post-it notes are cute. I like sitting down and do nothing. I like collecting jackets and sweaters, like you know already. I like tidy Barbecues! Hate messy ones though, so I am meticulous when it comes to this. I like being organized. I like being hugged!! Best feeling in the world. I like uni life! Because people I know there are not that pretentious!

Disney movies <3! Watching movies in cinemas. Sitting on grass.

Phew! There's a long list of I likes...Haha.

Anyway, this is how I look like now, just so you know, or in case you forgot me.

Still looking good after all the RMIT shit.

Tonight is the first night in three weeks, which I didn't touch any books, or do any assignments or read any journals. Congratulations, Marianne Chung!

I didn't do the I hate.... part because, thinking about what I hate makes my day bad!

However, I hate people without their own opinion.

And, I hate people who quote this 'You changed'. Rubbish. Everyone changes, physically, mentally and in attitude whether better or not. So if you have said that, wouldn't it be you contradicting yourself? Anyway, I only feel people change when how you look at one person changes. Maybe before saying someone changes, you should ask yourself, have you changed?

Anyway!! Last night, when I was about to sleep, I was packing my notes, and *poof*, no electricity!! God damn it right, and before that I didn't on any air-cond, thus no cold air lingering. Shit. But eventually, I fell asleep, and you won't want to know how I fell asleep. Hehe!

I got to go and copy notes. Wtf. =)) Good day!

Dear diary...

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:02:20 GMT

I thought last semester was the challenging time of my university life, but not it seems. From seniors and seniors' seniors, and lecturer, any combinations with Company Law or Corporate Accounting (not like I take it) was suffocating because apparently, it's the most bulky component of university life.

At the beginning of first few semester (this semester), it was a breeze. Things were a bit tougher, but not suffocating. Thinking I've managed to hop on to the next semester by passing Company Law, I always had a mindset that, well, this semester was not going to be a problem.

Behold. No. This semester is a step above the rest. With the first few steps int my Year 2 Semester 2 subjects, it looked easy. Financial Markets (Forex, loans, bonds, equities etc) seem to be a read-from-book subject, but soon we realize how they made us incorporate it into life. With an assignment, now it requires me (argh) to look in foreign exchange rates of countries, commodity prices, inflation rates, growth rates, interest rates to study the forex, which is not of my own country.

The worse thing I was foreseeing was, the paper asks us to predict future foreign exchange for the next 0.5 year. For one moment, I seriously hoped I was doing Accounting instead of this, because I was so damn sure I really can't tell the future, can I? All I wanted to do was work with past numbers and poking the calculator. I had no vision of myself predicting the future of the global economy. I can't even tell my own future!

But taking it step by step, I realize, I really kinda like doing this. It's hard work, confusing much (yes, Jin?), but it gets kinda interesting when u read the graphs and start interpreting them, they'd tell you a story of their own.

Why am I ranting here then?

The main issue is, not one subject alone. Imagine if I have four just as stressful subjects? Not to say Price Theory (where we are a step above normal Microeconomics) is very stressful, but, Empirical Studies is 'stress x 2'= STRESS! So it's Stress x 4!

This is how RMIT raised me. This is how I am kept on my feet.

As much as people tend to hate stress and pressure and responsibilities, I am very much....loving it. I keeps me on my feet, reminds me what's important, and tells me not to worry about unworthy things. Especially for Empirical Studies and Financial Markets, you both, did a great job keeping me on my feet.

Now officially, my day consists of classes, lunch time, gossip time during breaks, discussion time after classes, nap, dinner, journal reading, more journal reading, more literature review, Googling facts for the foreign exchanges, (in between, telling myself, I can't go to sleep now because I still have more to go and deadline is around the corner) pushing myself an hour further, more Googling for me and then sleep. Occasionally, visiting lecturer from Melbourne visits...sometimes coincidentally SIMULTANEOUSLY.

This is my life, who I chose to be.

And this is the real world. I have walked into my fourth semester for seven weeks. This is just the beginning.

In within maybe say approximately 3 months, I will be in pencil skirts and formal blouses and stockings, interviewed by Kingston, how time flies.

This is REALITY. Time for us to realize this is the real world.

Ps: Journals are research papers which Doctors do when they try to get their PHDs, get the dig? So it's not interesting reading them, but sometimes I find them much interesting. =))

Penning my life down,
the growing up me.
