Cheers to post-exam life!

Hurray we're finally done with our finals! It's been a long and suffering month at our apartment in Melaka! We  were back to Melaka after Raya break, which was already the 12th week and finals were around the 15th and end at 16th week.

We didnt even go back home to celebrate Mooncake festival! Together with YikXin and Chin Xiang, we bought afew mooncakes, made cups of tea and chat together, that was very warm :) and eases our homesick.

 Sorry for the huge knife, we don't have small knife or the butter knife to cut the mooncake. Heh. The mooncakes we bought were the cheap ones, and in our opinion, it is the cheap ones that taste good hahaha. Original taste. Maybe we never try delicious and expensive ones before. But my fav flavour of mooncake is Lotus + egg yolk, while sis's is the classic red bean.
During our days of staying at EP, we have no choice but to have our meals at either EP mix rice or MMU corner. Til we're kinda sick of those 2 places lol. No cars, what to do, those are the only 2 places that are reachable by foot lol. When we're tired of outside food, we will resort to this:

Maggi~!! Its Korean maggi, see the size of the mee? And there's extra meat balls and eggs inside. Yummy! But i really don't like eating maggi, it makes me thirsty for a period of time, think is because of the MSG :S

Im not used to prepare finals like 3 weeks before the final week. I usually started my studies 2 weeks before and the last week will be super stressed haha. I have friends who just started their studies mere days before the actual exams, and yet they can score! *envy* And so we stayed at EP few weeks before finals to force ourselves study. But this method doesn't suit me well, i have no mood to study and have to keep forcing myself. Did lots of tutorials but in the end i still forgot almost all of them and need to redo before the exam. Still finding my efficient way of study T_T Starting early is definitely good, have to find a way to remember what iv done.
After our first exam, Thermo and Theory of Machine, Yvonne suggested to watch Johnny English!! Umm it was not as nice and funny as we'd expected. It was kinda lame. The end part was quite funny but the beginning was super lame. I won't encourage my friends to watch it, and untill now i havent heard of anyone who thinks that show is nice lol. But if you're a huge fan of Mr Bean, well why not? :)
After my exam is done, i went out with my classmates and also Jun Jie to Celcius ^_^ love sing k so much. And after the future accountants had finished their exams, i went for another outing with them hehehe.

From left, yours truly, Chin Xiang, sis and YikXin, ready for OverTime yo hahaha. OverTime is a newly opened lounge/bar in Melaka. Love the atmosphere inside. But the featured beer there 'Starker' doesn't taste so good. Maybe the Aromatic flavour we ordered tastes weird.

Alright, now for the holiday resolution of mine hahahha. Gonna keep fit and lose all the fats i gained from "eat,sit and study,sleep and repeat" routine during the exam week! Secondly, gonna finish at least one of them i got from Frank Wong for my birthday *trilled* :DD

Anddddd lastly, have fun in HongKong. :P 

P.s: Dad and mom went out for dinner, and left me and sis at home, with a car. Whats for dinner later? Muahahahaha. :D

So far so good

Downloading msn to this netbook at last. hahaha.
Been using FB chat for the past few days. Not bad waddd lolz!

Okay, so this is what happened for the first week of ma hols.
Dunno why but it feels like iv been on hols for many weeks dy actually its just first week lol
Thursday night went pasar malam with Julian and his cute and frenly church friend, Yik Xin couldnt make it with us as she had to go back earlier to take care of her grandma.
We strolled around, bought some snacks along the way. My fav is curry fish balls!!
After the pasar malam, Jul and his fren had to ciao to their fren's surprise bday party.
So that left me and my sis. Then we went Station1 yumcha hehehe.
And chatted bout our own stuffs over the drinks and enjoy the soothing atmosphere there.
I dont really like the singers in Station1.
Cuz they sing vry loud and u practically have to shout at each other if u wanna chat!
Last time we used to sit directly infront of the singers one (cuz got cushion lol) and always ended up we have to change venue to a more peaceful place (lik mamak) to chat one.
Then later on we're more sing muk dy and opted for a far and more quiet seat.

And yesterday Julian asked for yumcha after his church so we went to Benny's Corner (a mamak around Temiang) then we changed to Station1 again haha. Think the waiters dy can recognize me dy T_T
We chatted bout his "nasty" history HAHA kidding kidding. And played poker cards and Jingga ( Jul sucks at it =P ) Well,  it was a fun night indeed!

Alright, now im gonna show u my holiday resolution hahaha.
1) Diet
My forever never-ending resolution, since i couldnt manage to strike it off from my list yet =P
2) Guitar
Love love love guitar! Pity im not really good at it. Envy those cafe singers who can play their fav songs so easily! I do have guitar lessons, but the lessons always postponed and til now we dun even how to play a single song yet T_T pathetic huh.
3) Storybookssss
I havent quite done with my Lost Symbol yet =P Dragged vry long dy and left abit ni lol. Shall finish it and move on to the next novel! Yoshhh~
4) Blog more. and keep diary alive. hahaha
Blogging and blog hoppin! ;) And iv bought a super cool, thick diary! Hope to record down my 21 yrs old life in words so that can look back at myself in the future. The way i think, what type of problems that bugged me at this age, etc etc =)

And last but not least, big thank you for everything uv done for me! ^_^
Im seriously glad i had u b4 in my life, seriously. =)

Comin' Home

Me with my bushy hair and timmy's pouch on my journey home. *yays*

This is how my hair looks like when i wake up, kinda like lion's mane right haha.

Just the night b4, my fren asked me whether i can wake for my 10am bus.

I was like, of course!! Its not like its 8o'clock bus right? 10am was perfectly fine, and since exam time had trained me for waking up around 8am everyday!

And boy was i wrong. lol that very morning i snoozed my 10 phone alarms, when i did wake up and checked the time, its 925 for goodness sake!

I jumped off my bed and checked the ticket, yea it is 10am, not 1030!

I rushed into bathroom, changed& wash up,then begun to dump evrything into my luggage bag.

And at 1038am, i dy all set in Kuhan's car, heading towards central.

Broke my record! never pack so fast b4 in my life, 13 mins to pack everything and stuff naughty Timmy into the bonding pouch haha.

And great thx to Kuhan for waking up early and send me to central!

Im home at last!! Sleep, eat and study seems like my forever daily routine in Melaka T_T

The 2 weeks seems so damn long and yet we dreaded for 19th to come as its our final and hardest paper.

Well, the paper turns out, erm i think i should able to pass the paper hopefully haha.

Tell u waddd, when im doing part A of my paper, iv never felt so devastated in my entire life!!

Part A we hav to choose 2 out of 3. The first question was easy as sir promised,and i did pretty well. Then comes the tough part. I cant do Q2 and Q3 at all, cant even begin to solve it!!

I was feeling so disastrous and thinking whats the consequences if i failed this paper.

The supp for this paper is famous for its toughness and rumour has it that only master students are able to solve it! So sir advice us, never bother to attend the supp paper. Just retake if u failed.

Omgg but that subject only offered annually, means if retake it'll mess up with our graduation time! No way im gonna retake the subject! No hell wayyyy!!

I moved on to Part B and was really grateful that i know how to do. Sir had promised us 3 easy questions to let us pass the paper. T___T Thermo is so tough.. But at least i think i did the paper better than Fluid last sem. Fluid was a terrible nightmare!!!

Soon after the paper, we went for dinner at Taragon (not really nice and i think the price increased) then we went Jonker!! Its fun to be in crowds of people! :)

At about 11pm, we went Cj's house to play cards and umm..gamble.hahaha.

I was so kia su and gambled 20cents at first while others all gambled rm1.

But then i increased my amount to rm2 la hahaha. Cj was so lucky that night (partly bcuz hes wearing yellow) and won bout rm20+ hmph. Luckily i didnt lost any money, won rm2 or 3 hehe.

Its vry fun to just play in fren's hse and watched American Idol on tv with his mom and dad lolz.

We finally went off bout 2 when everybody started to get too exhausted, lying on the couch and just staring blankly at a boring movie haha.

Warning : Burlesque spoiler ahead.

I reached home bout 12+ yesterday and went to catch this movie with sis Denzel and Yik Xin bout 1pm.

Before this i heard many negative comments bout this show, but its trailer still so appealing to us that we chose this over Mechanics =D

And we didnt regret on our choice!! This movie is sooo amazing! Love the whole concept of Burlesque!

Well, if u google the word Burlesque, it means something like this : A theatrical entertainment of broad and earthy humor; consists of comic skits and short turns (and sometimes striptease).

So the whole movie is about Christina Anguilera as Alice aka Ali, who worked as a waitress in a normal restaurant, quit her job and went Hollywood for a dancing or singing job. There, she stumbled upon this Burlesque club and decided to work as a dancer / singer there.

Actually the whole storyline is quite simple and not much of a crisis for her, everything went too smoothly lol.

But i seriously LOVE the scene where Marcus the super super rich guy who owns "air rights" haha surprised Alice with the super beautiful pair of LV heels the day after Alice complimented a guest for the heels!!!

Omg thats super romantic!!!! Good having a rich bf eh? haha nah kidding, im not that materialistic ;)

All in all, the show was very enjoyable and entertaining. Christina was super gorgeous and talented! She can move and also sing very well! Love her!!

Natural blonde with bangs. Love her hair style!

A very interesting movie packed with sexy dance moves and awesome singing that keeps u watching!

Alright thats all for this post. Happy holidays everyone!

P.s. : I FORGOT to bring my lappie battery charger back! Gosh.

Life in MMU

Melaka is super duper cold these days! 28degrees as shown from my desktop widget.

(Even lower in my opinion. *Shivers* )

This week was kinda busy and happening!

On Monday,we went to the long-awaited Christmas play by school's Christian Society!

 A story of hope. "More Than It Seems"

It was a great musical play, but i do prefer the previous years one hehe.

Cuz previous years had superb singers! This yr's singing was so so only.

But we can see that they'd put hard work in it *applause*

I'll definitely attend each and every Christmas play while im still in MMU! ♥

On Thursday, we had a booth to sell food at 园游会 around President Square!

Woke up super early for dim sum just bcause i have 10% voucher! =P

 Then went HanKai's hse to prepare the food.

Sliced the cincau and cooked herbal eggs.

Hey herbal eggs was super hard to cook okay dun play play!haha.

We bought the Yu Yan Sang herbal ingredients,boiled the eggs,smashed their shells(we had fun doing that) and cooked for approx 6 or 7 hrs!

In the mean time we tasted the soup,add this add that cuz its too plain dy and the McD salt we stole is not working right LOL

 Heres a glimpse of our masterpiece. Actually the taste didnt go into the egg itself.

When u eat the egg, it has egg taste only dun hav herbal taste, geddit?

But still tasty lah give it a C, passed =P

(And thx my hsemates for borrowing me the rice cooker ^_^)

 Our leader Cj~ Pouring the mayo into a container.

Treasurer HanKai. He noticed me snapping pics and this is the expression he gave me LOL

 While this guy here is having fun changing his hairstyle.

Looks old and wise with this look isnt he? not forgetting, funny! HAHA

 At 630, its time to open our booth!
The crowd actually comes at 730pm.

This is our speciality, salad You Tiao! ^^

Its a new way of eating You Tiao, just add mayo on the You Tiao.Not bad!

 Mixing with mayo. We dont have oven so the You Tiao got kinda cold and not very nice dy..

Plus the lemon juice we added in the mayo didnt went well with You Tiao at all LOL

My fren even thought the mayo was spoiled or something, got sour taste one hahahah!

But still, many thx to the creative way of eating, many ppl wanted to try it!

And it was selling like hot cakes!

Some did think that its nice lah kay like my sis =P thx for the support!

 Soya bean and Cincau also got really really good response!

Mainly due to the super cheap price! Each cup cost rm1 only.

Many ppl had little coupon left and they happily spent them at our booth hehehe!

Not to mention herbal eggs! 60 of them were all sold off already bout 8+pm! O_O''

 Couting our profits!

We'd earned much more than the maximum profit we expected!! ♥

 Our stall mascot haha.

Its actually a McD mini fan.

 Take pics of everybody!

Wenwen Tan did our banner. Cute isnt it hee.

Thats all for our selling experience! It was very time consuming and really tough.. From planing everything to making them work, from brainwashing on what to sell to negotiating with the suppliers, from setting out booth to handling crowd's demands lol. Our demand was really more than supply..
Making herbal eggs was a tough process lol cuz the soup was kinda plain and the taste didnt really go into the eggs. Plus we had to cook for so long. Selling things are really tough i'll definitely appreciate them next time! =P
But in the end we were happy that we can sell everything so fast and closed the booth(Im expecting worst comes to worst we had to finish the remaining eggs and You Tiao ourselves phew). Altho by the time we were free to roam around,theres not much things to buy dy. Next time i rather be customer haha. But no doubt, that was a pleasant experience (and we had earned enough for a nice meal HOHOHO~)

Friday night. Sis was randomly ranting about friday nights in melaka is boring in Twitter.
Winson replied her Twitter and suggested to go yumcha.
At 10pm later, me, sis, Kuhan and Winson were heading to town dy LOL
 At first we wanted to go MG cafe, the vegetarian cafe. But then its closed.
So we chose this!

 Heard alot of students like us singing there.

But then the cafe was kinda empty despite its Friday night O_o

 Lovely cup. We played cards there.

The singers were so so only and the cafe was not really fun.
Now we know why the cafe is empty. yikes

Frog spotted. Haha

We were chatting there and suddenly thought of sing k.

Then we exited the cafe and headed to Gogo at 11pm LOL super random sial

We sang bout 2 hours and its really fun. We never came out in this combination before hahaha and it was a fun night.
Twitter > Frog cafe > Gogo sing k LOL

On Saturday, me and my sis went cny shopping! We're getting nervous as we havent buy our cny clothes!
Well its not like we gonna really celebrate cny since our damn final is right after it, but new cloths for new year is a must!! =D
So the 2 of us rent car and off to DP!
Luckily still got some sales, we managed to hunt for what we want!
This was our tea time + Dinner ♥

 Nadeje's Monotone cake and long black tea.

The cake was very nice! It kinda reminds us of Chocolate Indulgence of Secret Recipe.

 Sis's katsu don set. Niceeee.

I love the chicken cooked in japanese way!

Like Nadeje, Sushi King, Sushiya etc etc.

Toriniku no ajitsuke karaage wa oishii desu neh~ =D

My noodles. They cook tasty noodles too!

This set was kinda cheap and most importantly, its very delicious!

At night, Lance asked me wanna go try out squash anot.

So i went to c if squash was fun =D pity my fren(who is kinda pro) couldnt make it to teach us.

When we reached the court bout 8pm, afew malay girls were playing.

So we waited and waited til like 9:15pm only they let us play =(

 Thats Lance and Wan Fen.

 We simply played. Lance had tennis base so he can play really well haha

And taught us the basic (He searched YouTube on how to play squash beforehand haha)

 My shoes and the squash rackets.

Messy hair.

Squash was quite fun but its abit tiring cuz u have to swing the racket hard.

Kinda like tennis but i think tennis harder as u hav to run the whole court for the ball lol

But its totally diff from badminton since u cant bend ur wrist if not u'll get hurt easily.

All the sport courts are free to play on weekends. 

Next will be tennis, shall we? ^_^

Pictures

Evening sun blazing through Melaka's cloudless sky.

This is the view from my apartment :)

MMU, and its ragged field. They wanted to sort of rebuild our field and running track,

but it had been a couple of months botak like this dy lol.

Once upon a time, alot of IS used to play football there under the beautiful evening sun, and their cheers and claps can be heard from my apartment. ^_^

And now, =_=

And this is the view right outside Ixora.

The whitish cover is the route where we always take to go to MMU one.

Hey and btw, anyone interested in investing??

Ixora is going to build another 2 blocks behind to cater for the students and they're opened for investors hahaha.

Woke up early today as i had a morning paper.

Had to burn midnight oil yesterday cuz im too distracted at home for weekends,

didnt really did some study..

But luckily, besides the theory part which i missed, all else were easy!

Now im finally done with my super long midterm tests! Yayyy!

And its assignments turn now..sigh

Cant believe this Friday is the last day of year 2010!

Time flies indeed!

It feels like 2010 just arrived and now 2011 is around the corner already!

And...so fast,im 21 years old already..

I dont look like 21 at all lor, 18, more like.haha.

Btw, heres how we count down-ed Christmas!

We went Kenshington for a Christmas feast.

 Champayne for the night. Cheers =D

 Amazing starter, Cheese baked prawns and fry squids.

Definitely as nice as they look!

 The main course!! Delicious macaroni and....

 TURKEY!!! Turkey was damn damn nice hehe!

Appetizers for a happy ending!3 layered pudding!

Steph, Amelia, ah Hann, still got ah Fu and me ^_^

First time eating a proper Christmas dinner outside with friends. Turkey was super delicious!!

But guess how much it cost?? That set was meant for 2 person.

And it cost rm45 per person!! Omg which dishes cost that much T_T

Turkey? The turkey was so small portion..The champayne also wont so expensive wad T_T

Ahh nvm, that wont dampen our Christmas mood also weee~

As for Christmas, we only gather at our fren's house and spent the night catching up on each other :)

#To like a person its easier to be said than done.

If u like a person, u tend to wanna know more about the person as much as possible, possibly every single thing about that person.

AND i dont see that in you. So you dont have the right to say that.

You're just being superficial. Just like 3 years ago.

My blog is becoming food blog

The next day

7-10-10 ( Wednesday)

Good morning! :D

Time for us to check out!

Playing in the lobby while waiting jeremy

Love this shot! My fingers seem very long haha.

Lance behind promoting again hahaha..

Wheres my fooddd...hungry lar..

Poem on how to eat ur siew long pau haha..

This restaurant actually is major in selling siew long pau, 

but Jeremy says its siew long pau not very nice, other stuffs nicer haha.

How contradicting :P

Fatty bird with tau sah inside!

"You really wanna eat us...? Have mercy sir!"

Ham sap pau~ its chinese name is 流砂咸湿包!
See, im not making it up!catchy name huh haha

But ham sap pau is really yummy!

We shared this. Not bad :)

Girls with one Ji Mui haha

And the boys.

Then we went to try alot more of foodddd!

O Jian~!!! I think Melaka's taste better hehe. This was not bad too.

I love u big oyster! yum yum!

Ong Kok Chien came up with the idea of snapping our pics.

ICs, IDs and Driving license.

I present, AhChien's male models!

Boys over flowers. hahahaha

cute version!

Finally our food! Hoho.. Aaaaaah~

Shot pics with Penang's signature building,Komtar but didnt go inside hehe

Red bean one so so only. I prefer the one with peanut butter hehe.

Big headed

We went to try a famous roadside stall selling Teo Chew Cendol!

not much difference from normal cendol actually.

So so for me ^_^

After that they took us to a roadside coconut stall.

Do not be deceived by his look! This indian guy here posses excellent kung fu!

He can cut the coconut within seconds!

We all looked on in awe.  :O

Why...cant...i...open...it...need...help..

Thx.. X)

Then we went to Botanical Garden!

Alottt of monkeys! :O

Hahaha i rmb this tunnel.

We wanted to pass thru this tunnel but then turned back and came out running!

Cuz a big boss-like super fierce monkey wanted to attack us!
He must think the tunnel is his territory i guess. So scary ¬_¬"

Then we terpaksa to use another route. Monkeys aren't cute at all! Geez :(

Discovered a pwetty waterfall!

Weeee~ ^_^

Oh got fish got fish!!

Gotcha little fish! kekekeke
(Freed it back into water later, no fish was harmed hehe)

After playing at the waterfall, we all chose our weapons(sticks) and planned to attack the monkey boss and conquer the tunnel! We humans ain't that easy to bully yo!

All equipped for the attack!

But then in the end only Kuhan had the guts to go thru the tunnel hahaha.

And i even saw some monkeys on the trees near the tunnel trying to throw some tree brunches down to hurt us!! Omg why monkeys so evillll

I love Botanikal Garden. Its very green, an ideal place for jogging. (except for the monkeys heh)

Ice cream in bread! But I still prefer the ice cream alone hehe.

Behold, our dinner at New Lane!
A night food street in penang,great place to taste Penang local food!

Pork intestine porridge.
White porridge with delicious smell of pork intestine.

Curry mee with chili paste, which adds a much welcomed kick to the noodles!

The blackish blocks are pork blood. Taste like taufu to me.

New Lane fried oyster and egg. This is much oily and still,melaka wins haha.

But i still believe Muar has the most delicious o jian!

Our normal Chu Cheong Fan! still nice lol.

Jeremy went tapao this from a shop, Yuen Yong.
Tapao is nicer than having there according to him cuz the banana leaf will absorb the sticky gravy and gives the Yuen Yong a faint scent. banana leaf smell haha.

Any problem with the mee guys?haha

Later at 930pm, we went to Queensbay to kill the time and then boarded our bus at 1130pm.

My phone was really low battery that day and died in the mall! So unlucky of me!

I was like OMG how am i gonna contact mom and dad??

Luckily the bus to sban is same with the one to melaka so im able to sit with Deanna, Ym and Cj :D

We went up the bus and straight away sleep,exhausted from the outing.

Then its like iv only slept few mins, the driver called out "Seremban!" then afew passengers bustled around to get off the bus.

I was super blur and felt impossible it had reached sban, which is bout 5 hours journey away.

Then we asked a passenger to confirm and we really reached sban. O_O *panicked

I quickly take all my things,borrowed Ym's phone to call mom while Deanna went to stop the driver (the bus begun to move)

I finally got off the bus and realized the bus dropped me at a junction, which leads to Terminal and Acs(my high sch) and another way to the terminal bus stop.

We always wait for mom and dad infront of terminal so i straight away rushed into the junction automatically and stood infront of ACS (terminal was so spooky and pitch dark at night!)

I dunno where are the other guys who got off the bus earlier, maybe they went to wait at the bus stop behind terminal.

Maybe the bus stop do have people there, but i feel i should wait for mom and dad here.

At least ACS had a night guard altho i saw him slping at the bench la,but his presence kinda calmed me down abit lor :(

And all high schs sure have their own scary stories, and they happen to have the common history of being hospital or the place where the japanese faught and died last time right?

So im full of goosebumps while waiting for my parents. And i heard some distinct eerie music too -_- (serious, not my imagination :( but it seems too far away to freak me out.)

Terminal opposite was very dark. The road infront barely hav cars and motors passby.

Its 4am in the morning and im all alone infront of my sch, standing there with loads of luggages with me. If someone wanna kidnap me will be super easy lor.
Then my phone dy died i cant call mom and dad to chat also.. T___T

I kept praying til finally a too familiar waja turned into the junction. PHEW!

I got into the car, mom and dad asked me how long did i waited and demanded why didnt call them when im reaching. T__T i slpt like a pig how i know im reaching wor T_T 

I really hate sitting long distance buses..Its tiring even if u slpt thru the whole journey + highly dangerous!

Thank God,everyone was blessed to reach their hometowns safe and sound. ^_^
Thanks alot for blessing the whole trip too~!
