Around the corner...


Yes! Here it is. Halloween is just around the corner! Or another name for it, Samhain. Samhain is an annual Celtic celebration also known as the "festival of the dead". It is a celebration to celebrate the circle of life, celebrate the elements of life and death, celebrate the beginning and ending of a year. It is believed that the border between this world and the other world become thin on Samhain.

For this years Halloween celebration, I initially planned to go crazy! Dress up as a sexy vampire and go club hopping! First club Zouk KL then a few clubs next. Already had a group of friends willing to go crazy with me and enjoy the night of Halloween. But after a week of consideration, I suddenly felt like I do not want to go through the trouble. Maybe it's because I've been having fever these few days so it made me feel old and lazy. Instead, I remember that my little sister's birthday was coming and she's always wanted a costume party. So currently, Leo and I are planning a Halloween birthday for my little sis!! All her friends will be dressed up in cute little costumes and we'll be decorating the house. We want to make it as scary as possible for Shenz and her friends Ahhh... for all the time, money and trouble we go through for her party, I hope she enjoys it. Plus, one of her best friends are baking a special secret Halloween birthday cake for her. Hmmm... I wonder what it'll be?

Au Pair


Yes, I have done it! I signed up with a program which makes me an Au Pair. What is an Au Pair you ask? An Au Pair is defined as a foreign-national domestic assistant working for, and living as part of, a host family. Typically, Au Pairs take on a share of the family's responsibility for childcare as well as some housework, and receive a small monetary allowance for personal use. This is what they call work and travel. When you register, they ask you a load of questions about childcare. I thought it was suitable for me, as I absolutely love children at the age of 1 to 5 years old and I love to travel. Working as an Au Pair allows me to travel, take children under my care AND earn money! I registered USA, UK, Italy, France, and Japan as my preferred country to work in. They allow you to choose the age of the children you would like to care for and for how long you will be in service to the family. I chose from 2 months to 9 months. Being an Au Pair, the family that hosts you does not treat you like a servant or maid. Instead they treat you like apart of their family. Just that you have to take care of their child.

I just register 2 nights ago and I have already received offers from families which live in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Orlando. And that's just from the USA. I have received offers from UK and Italy as well. This is actually going really smoothly as I planned. I'm extremely excited to live with a family in a foreign country. It will expand my knowledge of lifestyles and cultures. The only problem for me is that I'll have to leave my Leo here for a huge amount of time. I'll miss him like crazy. He'll be in my mind all day, everyday. Not just him. I'll miss my family too!! Especially my adorable little sister, Shenz. She makes me smile every single day. One day without her would be torture. Well, I'll just have to make sacrifices to grab onto opportunities. There will never be success without sacrifice. I'm just worried about my future with Leo. I wonder what would happen. I guess we'll see how everything goes. See how fate brings me into the future and how strong our relationship is. I can see a very bright future for Leo and I, but I'm still afraid. I mean... who isn't?!?!

Back to Au Pair families. When Au Pairs stay and care for a family, the family gives the Au Pair an allowance. So far, I've been offered around 1,500 sterling pounds a month. That's like RM7,200 a month!! Doing what I love and getting an allowance as a bonus. I know from the start I would love this job. Getting paid for doing what you love, now THAT'S what I call a job. At least, I would wake up everyday and start work with a huge smile on my face.

Au Pair's are usually aged between 18 and 25 years old. So if you're interested, visit: Easy Au Pair at http://www.easyaupair.com/

Workout in disguise


Tonight we had it all planned. Leo and I were going out for a nice, peaceful and casual dinner. Had a great time eating. We chatted a whole lot mostly, asking each other about their day and wondering how was work. As our table was facing this huge flat screen TV mounted on the restaurant's wall, most of the time we were watching this program called "Riot Chase" or something like that. So while we ate, we watched numerous videos of people starting riots all over the world. Some of it were pretty violent and so not right for dinner time. I do not want to see a woman in a female jail get beaten up by 50 other women when I'm eating. Would you call that appetizing?

So anyway, after the extremely peaceful dinner, we made our way back. Just around 500 more meters to Leo's house, his car broke down. We tried to figure what happened as the car suddenly over heated and we couldn't start it. So I thought, "Hey! It's so near your place. Let's push!". So we started pushing with high spirits and with me controlling the wheel. After half of our journey, we collapsed. Two people with no constant exercise pushing a Honda 500 meters. Now it seemed pretty ridiculous. So in the end, a black car stopped and a malay guy got out of the car and helped us push. His wife and little daughter in the car were giving us encouragement. We did it! All 500 meters of it. I think it was a workout in disguise or maybe just someone, somewhere hinting that we have to work out more. It seems that the family that helped us were staying very near by and were on the way home when they saw us in trouble.

**For now, note to self: remember to buy gift basket for family who helped us push car!!

Thank you helpful citizens of Malaysia. Now looking back, an extremely ray of hope for the possibility of 1Malaysia!

A peek of happiness

Haven't been home for awhile as I've been crazy with work. When I got home a few days ago, I saw this innocent brown envelope with the plastic-covered Pos Laju thingy on it. Like a natural online shopper, I went crazy. Remember the blog shop I mentioned in my past post? The one about MiniBites? Well my item has arrived. I opened the package with care and I was faced with more wrappers. Until I reached bubble wrap! Beneath it was the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my life! As you know, I absolutely love miniature food items. A week ago I ordered a Chocolate Pie Ring. I wore it to Leo's cousin's birthday and I got a huge response. I was the belle of the ball. Everyone was trying to get a glimpse of that pie on my ring. Naturally I embraced being in the spot light.

The genius behind all the handmade crafts is a girl named Esther. We're planning to meet up to get to know each other better. I've been dying to meet her. By the way, she updated her blog shop with a whole new product. Adorable heart-shaped waffle ear studs! There are 3 types which are:-


~Strawberry Yoghurt Waffle Studs, which are heart-shaped waffles covered in vanilla yoghurt and topped with a slice of strawberry.

~Berry Smoothie Waffle Studs, which are heart-shaped waffles covered in vanilla yoghurt and topped with a cherry and 3 blueberries.

~Maple Story Waffle Studs, which are heart-shaped waffles covered in the basic maple syrup and topped with a pat of butter.

These waffles are the most adorable items and they look good enough to eat! So I made a custom order of a waffles ring. My waffles ring would be a basic square waffle covered in maple syrup and topped with a pat of butter and 2 slices of strawberry. Now that I can't wait to get. I'd be hungry all day looking at the rings on my fingers *giggles* When I got my Chocolate Pie ring, I took a few photos to send to her to show my appreciation for her hard work and creativity. So here are the pictures of me and the delectable ring!

The finer things in life

Honestly... It's been ages. I don't understand how all the other bloggers or my friends fill they're blogs up everyday. I do respect them for that though. I simply enjoy reading about their lifes and mostly I love shopping online. I'm so busy nowadays with life that I have no time to blog anymore. I think me, myself and I, would agree to write in this blog once in awhile. Just for the sake of releasing stress. I heard it's good for the soul.

Currently, Leo's in China on business. He's so busy with visits to clients and reports that everytime we Skype we talk a little and after awhile he has to get back to his reports. Although, I have to admit that this makes us appreciate each other more. I appreciate every single time I get to see him online. Unfortunately for him, it isn't really a holiday as he has to visit clients from 8am till 12am midnight. Right now on the opposite side of the internet, I see him look so tired and he's like that close to falling asleep. He's been gone for 10 days already. 2 more days and he'll be back. I honestly miss him so much. I hope he gets lotsa prezzies for me from China though... He better!! *sniggers*

On another note, as I was just surfing the web, I found the most amazing blog shop EVER!! Since forever, I've been in love with miniatures. Miniature food stuff especially. I've adored those people doing tutorials on YouTube. For me it would be quite difficult for me as it requires the right materials and steady hands. And those are exactly my problems. I do not have any idea to find polymer clay (plus it's very expensive), and I have thyroid, which is a condition I had since 2005. My active thyroid makes me weak, breathless, weakens my muscles, and it makes my hands shiver and shake. Exactly what I don't need to make those adorable miniature things. I love mini waffles, donuts, cake slices, pies... Everything! So I found this blog shop which is heaven for me called MiniBites. The owner of this blog, Esther, does everything handmade! I'd have to say she's extremely talented. I've ordered a few of the most adorable items she has on sale. What I would like now, would be a charm bracelet full of her amazing creations. I would recommend anyone to check it out! The next time you see me, I'll be wearing one of those mini food that you would die to take a bite from.

minibites


What I'm trying to do now is advance in life. I have agreed to myself that I will not settle for one job until I truely love it. So for now I have been through 5 extremely different jobs which have no connection to each other. My goal? To experience all kinds of jobs the world has to offer. Or more specifically, ALL experience jobs which interest me! And I don't mean things like janitor... or garbage woman... You understand. So the next job I'm aiming for and will get it is to be a flight attendant. It doesn't matter what company. As long as I get to experience it. Plus I always score every interview I go to. So wish me luck!!

New Job


Been such a long while since I've let it all out into this blog. Right now I'm sitting at my desk in my new office. What do we do? We're are an event company with other businesses on the side. We do events as well as organize samplings at various shopping malls for many different well known brands. As a newbie (been working for a month), it's been pretty confusing and hectic for me. Which means I gotta learn and pick up stuff real fast. One thing: thank god my boss is not from hell or an assistant of Hades. she's really nice and we have a lot in common. I understand her more than anyone else because I talk like her. She's absolutely hard working and always striving to be the best. The thing is that she's constantly busy and works 7 days a week. She needs a vacation. This company is built on all her hard work. So far I've witnessed 2 of her events and I think they're amazing. It's very nice to be able to see all your hard work paid off when the event is a success.

Anyway, the only thing I'm not a fan of in my job, are the sampling. What we have to do is compile up a long job list and then start calling tons and tons of people and ask if they're interested to work. Thank god I do not have to do it that much. I just type up random sales reports. So that is fine with me. The only problem is that sometimes I get a little bit confuse and mix stuff up. And another problem? I have the worst memory ever. So I have to carry a tiny notebook around writing everything I need to do. Sometimes the job get so crazy that I just go home, take a warm bath n go straight to sleep. I don't even remember the last time I watched TV!!!

Another I enjoy at the office is dressing up my cubicle. The office is all decked in red and white, just like our corporate logo. so went to IKEA to buy a few red stuff to put on my white table. Got a cork board, a red pillow for my chair, and a red and white pot with a pretty plant in it. In my desk drawer I have 2 boxes of Quakers Chewy Cookies & Cream granola bars and Chunky Chocolate granola bars. They taste amazing and with all my work they keep me full and happy. I'm happy with where I am now. I just have to keep improving myself so i can do perform better and get better results. My colleagues are absolutely fun people. Very eccentric and crazy. Except on guy, who's leaving. When I first joined he had this thing for me. When I say 'thing' I don't mean a crush. He hated my guts. Jealous that my boss treats me better. Oh well... office politics. I'm better off with out it.

Anyway back to work. Lots to do. Hope to write in more often.

XOXO

Pool or pool?

He leaned forward. His body against and above the pool table. He closes an eye as he aims his pool cue towards the white ball. There I was right opposite of him. All the way across the pool table. I was just standing there watching him, hoping he'll score. And then suddenly he raised his head slightly and I thought he wanted a better look. But he raised his head, looked at me with those adorable eyes and... wink! My heart melted so much I could just faint on the ground smiling *laughs* All my inside were warm and fuzzy. Best ever!

i love you, Leo! *muaks*

21 yr old mother?!?!

After 2 days and a night of taking care of my adorable little 2 year old nephew, Aidan, I'm so exhausted. It might be pretty difficult to take care of a child. It's a huge responsibility but my aunt asked me if I've had enough and given up. I said no I have not given up because everything I do and all the trouble I go through, It is all worth it when I see him happy and his cute little smile.

Now he's back with his mummy, Irene, in Sunway. When he was here at my house. I played with him and took care of him making him so attached with me till he calls me mummy LOL.. Kinda weird but it's so cute when he says that when I change his diaper. He knows if someone bullies him he'll just run to me with his arms wide open saying "pao-pao!!" and I would carry him. The night he slept over he didn't want to sleep with his Mi-ma, his grandma, but came to squeeze with me on my bed. So the whole night I was a very light sleeper. Making sure he's comfortable and won't have any nightmares. He moves alot on bed so I wasn't able to sleep. Tonight I'll make sure to sleep super early. Will add photos of Aidan as soon as I upload them.

Leo's coming back tomorrow from Johor Baharu. Miss him so much. During this CNY I haven't been spending enough time with him. i love you , Leo!! but at least I had Aidan to keep me company and busy. So the weekend went pass pretty fast for me. I hope he can come stay over again but I hope he remembers me.

I love little babies and toddlers!!

Complaints & lightning...

I'm personally a huge fan of Subway.

Most of the time I have it in Sunway Pyramid or SS15. I usually order the sub-of-the-day with my fave honey oat, extra cheese and crazy alot of olives. Today Leo and I went to the one in Leisure Mall, Cheras. I went to the counter to order what I always order. Then the guy said, "Honey Oat is sold out and for extra cheese we charge RM1.20". So yea.. kinda pissed because in any other outlet having extra cheese is free! I'm a regular Subway customer and you want to piss me off like that? So there I was ordering my vegetables and sauces. When I got to the cashier, I had to wait 10 mins to be able to pay for my food! There were 4 staff there but they were just sitting around and one guy was even sleeping!! I kept looking aroung for a complain or suggestion box but nope, there were none. Thank god having a Subway sandwich calms me down and gives me satisfaction or else I would've gone crazy... I still love Subway!


After Subway, Leo and I went to the arcade to vent some anger by playing.... the Photo Hunt game! Haven't played that in ages and realized I sucked at it. When we finished that, he still had 2 more tokens with him so he went to punch the sh*t outta some punching machine. That machine is to see how hard is the impact of the punch. When we got there, there were a few young boys playing with it and hell... they were not doing well. So after that, Leo went up to it and slid the tokens into the token slot. He got three punches. Didn't do as well as last time first one was 103, then 109 then the last punch he got 119!! So his total points were 331 points which got the number one spot of the week *laughs* So proud of my baby! Muaks!

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief
That's what we watched in GSC today. Leo found it very un-interesting and dull. Yet I found it amazing. Maybe it's because of my knowledge and interest in Greek myths and legends. For me, the storyline is very amazing and they did a good job in casting. Fresh new actors and actresses which did their job well in portraying their character. There was one part which disappointed me. That part is the part where Percy first gets introduced to the demi-god camp. Evertyhing about that part seemed... how should I say this? Messy, cheap and amateur. Love how greek gods and goddesses are placed in this story. 8.5/10 is what I would give. Watch it and see if you agree with me.


Now Leo's at home. With some friends over for CNY. They're there doing minor gambles by playing blackjack or poker or that 3 card thingy... *laughs* Don't know what it's called. Leo's been winning quite alot but I left early. Hope you're winning more now baby!! Muaks! Love you!

Cheerleading tomorrow. Finally. Miss them so much!!

Gong Xi Fa Cai & Happy Valentine's Day

Yeap! It is the 14th of February 2010. Sadly 2 events or celebrations fall on today. Valentine's day and Chinese New Year. Which means chinese couples don't get to be together as Chinese New Year is going back to one's family. So I would like to wish everyone:


GONG XI FA CAI

&

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY


Sadly, I might not be able to celebrate either one with my Leo as he will be busy with his family as well. These few days I've been missing him more than ever.

Anyway, for new year's eve, I cleaned up my room and some other parts of the house. Got dressed and head on to my relative's place for a new year's eve reunion dinner. It was fun as I got to spend so much time with little Aidan, my nephew. I could enjoy as many cans of Anglia Shandy as I want *giggle* What do I love about Chinese New Year?? I love Yee Sang, which is a dish we eat every year for CNY and who wouldn't love a reason to collect red packets with money in them? *laughs* It's like Christmas, but instead of exchanging presents, we give or collect red packets called 'ang pau' in Chinese.
I hope I get lots of red packets this year! *wink*

Yell green, gold, white!!

So angry, pissed but proud today... Weird feeling huh? Well yeah. Really angry and pissed today because I turned up at cheer practice today and realized that only the girls were there and 2 guys. Where were the others? So pissed that I called them and I couldn't get them. i know by now you're asking, "So where does the 'proud' come in?". Well, Chun Yang, a triple threat, he managed to do a single-base partner stunt!!

They're just high school level cheerleaders and wow... I'm so proud. Why Chun Yang is a triple threat? He can tumble, he has great strength and amazing jumping skills. He can do 10 toe-touches in a row non-stop! Love all my cheerleaders so much. Sarah an amazing flyer and Sherine, made her so touch till she cried when I gave her a nation-wide birthday present! Kai Ern's another great flyer. I really hope for once, green house will win the cheerleading competition during their sports day.

Kris Allen in KL

Yes yes yes!! Was at the Kris Allen concert at The Gardens Hotel KL!! My baby, Leo, was working there. So I got to go into the VVIP section where they served drinks and food. Loved it when Kris Allen started it with his rendition of 'Heartless' fr Kanye West. Awesome. Love his amazing voice control. At one point I was practically just mezmerized. I stood there and stared him like some idiot that I forgot to take videos *laughs* I bet he thinks I'm some psycho freak girl smiling to herself. I guess it was the light behind him and his guitar playing. Awe-freakin'-some. Got goody bags from the concert. An American Idol shirt and a Kris Allen Live in KL tag!!

I love Kris Allen but I gotta mention, in his band there was this really really hot guy. He plays the keyboard, guitar and bass. I Love Cale Mills!!! Look at that picture below! He's so so hot and much taller than Kris Allen. During the concert I just kept watching him. He has a nice voice too. Marry me Cale!! *laughs* He is just so fiiiineee!


I fell for Cale Mills...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well before all that excitement, I was at cheerleading practice. Had to coach the high school team. They're doing good but one fall brought their spirit down. I forced them to keep doing it till they made it perfect and they nailed it. Spirits were lifted again. The feeling you get when you nail a stunt... mmhmm... feels like "Hell yeah I'm the king of the world!!". You have to actually feel it yourself to understand. Everyday i spend with the cheerleaders I get closer and closer to them. I want them to succeed. I love you guys!

Shit happens...

Don't you agree? Sometimes life is so smooth sailing and everything is right where you want it to be, you're satisfied... happy. Then one day, something happens that hurts you emotionally and physically. It's like suddenly someone decides, "Hey, her life seems boring. Let's mess with her!". Then shit happens. It bites you on the butt.

Well, for me, today was the day it happened. Someone who I knew was the perfect one for me. Everything just had to start going wrong. We argued. I drank too much vodka. Puked then fell asleep. And the most surprising thing was that when I woke up. Everything seemed to have gone back to where it was. There I was, lying in his oh-so-comfortable bed, with him looking down on me with the most adorable smile I've ever seen. Then I realized, sometimes shit happens to make you better. When it happened to me, it worked out alright. I realized that what we both went through was to help us bond and to help us know how much we love each other. That's exactly what I love about him. He can be really stubborn at times but he knows how to make it better. I love you Leo!

Now that I've let that out in the blog and making me feel better. I found out that I was in love with something else as well. No not a 'someone'. More of a 'something'. It's the brown Miu Miu leather stripe patchwork handbag! A totally to-die-for! I don't care. I have to have it no matter how much it costs! The colour is exactly like shown in the picture below but the one I want is much smaller in size. The one in the picture below is just way too big. What do you think about it?


Miu Miu is a brand by Prada for younger generation clothes and accessories. Miu Miu is the nickname of the oh-so-famous Miuccia Prada and the line was started in 1992. Absolutely love it!

To coach or not to coach?

To coach or not to coach? That is the question. It does not mean I do not want to coach. It means my job is getting more and more difficult. Currently coaching cheerleading to a school's green house sport's team. It is living hell. No not the cheerleaders or students, it's the damn school and it's mountain high rules. They finally allowed competing cheerleading teams to be co-ed but there are consequences. What are the consequences you ask?

Guys are not allowed to touch the girls. Even if one hair is touched during the performance the team wil be disqualified. WTF?!?!?! The only reason why we want guys in the team, is so that we can get the guys to lift the girls during the stunts. This would make their routines look much more interesting and impressive. But noooo...! Would you rather see guys lift girls? Or guys lifting guys? No offense to the single sex male teams out there as they have no choice.

Did you know that when I first went to the school to meet them, the students involved in cheerleading told my that there was this rule where, when it is school time, they guy and girl students can't be seen walking with each other or just walking side by side or else they would get detention. I just had to laugh at that. I'm sorry. I just have to. That was the first... ever! Have you heard of that? Not even walking side by side. That would be darn easy to get your friends into detention *laughs*

Anyway, tomorrow I have to go to their school to figure out how to toughen up the girls for stunts or they won't be able to lift each other. That would be sad as it is a must. If their stunts aren't amazing, I'm gonna make sure their dance and routine is. I already have feeling that their uniforms would be so amazing.

So girls, we gotta beat this! We can do it! Green, gold, white! GO, WIN, FIGHT! Love you gurls. No matter how much we suck. I still lurve u LOL..

2 months...

It has been 2 months that I haven't been back to Sunway Pyramid. Been 2 months since the last time I ice skated. So today I went to the ice rink in Pyramid. Got there and started skating around 11am. Thank god there weren't much people there yet. Because I put my skates on, got onto the ice, started skating then brake and.... I fell down hard on my arse *ouch* Then I realized I couldn't do the things I could 2 months ago. I panicked *laughs* I'm so weird. My balance is totally gone. My hockey skates felt so foreign to me. I can't do things and I got very tired easily when skated. Well there I was, just keep trying while the rink guard watches and laughs. I'm glad I'm entertaining someone.

After 2 hours of going at it. Finally! I could do it. I was much more stable and I could skate like I used to 2 months ago. Been so long since I've seen any of my friends at the ice rink. First person I saw... Dion then Jordi. The Uncle Wong's son, Vincent, Edmund, and Mel Mel. So I felt at home. The ice is my second home. After a full day of skating, my feet really hurt but it was all worth it. Every part of it. Every fall I took.

Leo came to join me for dinner at Pyramid. We walked to Sushi Zanmai for a pretty awesome dinner. I had the Kakiage Don which was Japanese fried prawn fritters with a serving of rice. t was so satisfying but I couldn't finish it and had to let Leo eat it all. Surprisingly, when I skate, I don't get hungry. I could handle a whole day without meals, as long as I'm on the ice.

I <3 ice skating!

Chick flicks with a twist

Had a pretty frightening day. Woke up wih my whole body feeling so weak. Damned thyroid and bloody hormones. Too much of something is definitely bad enough. So it took me around 3 hours to recover and in that time what did I do? Waited for Leo to finish his class and watched a movie called Legacy. It's a show about some girls in a sorority called Omega Kappa (O.K). It is a typical chick flick with overly-perky characters and everything in pink. Stars Haylie Duff and Madeline Zima, the girl from Californication and The Nanny, which was aired years ago.

The girl's from the Omega Kappa sorority house gets themselves into a murder they can't solve. A movie about a rush party and a legacy which didn't fit in or as they would put it "better suited elsewhere". It's a pretty good storyline but the acting were not impessive. I'd give it 4.5/10 for sex, greek life, murder and investigation. Watch it! It might be your cup of tea.


Another movie I re-watched again was Confessions of a Shopaholic. As I remember? An amazing movie. Love the cast, the storyline, and everything else about it. This movie, as many of you have already watched it, I give it a rating of 9.5/10. Pretty high right? Well... It's worth that much. Very interesting as it is a story about a girl who is a shopaholic coming down with debts and financial problems. Watch and enjoy as she tries to climb out from mounting debt and meet the love of her live.


Chinese New Year is around the corner! I would like to wish everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai and may your dreams and wishes come true. Also wishing you prosperity and happiness in your life! ^^

Can food fly? Or will it get lost?

Have you ever had a feeling like you were lost in the forest all by yourself? It's like you feel empty, numb, lonely and frustrated. You don't know what to think or what to do next. That's exactly how I feel...

Sometimes I even wonder why I bother complaining. I keep telling myself I have to leave negative things behind and move forward with the positive. There are so many things in my mind right now that I dont know what to think. Sometimes I feel confident. Sometimes I feel stupid. Sometimes I feel happy. Sometimes i feel confused. I really have to figure myself out. If I can't do it, no one else can. So for Leo's sake I will.

Ok... Moving on to the not-so-depressing stuff. Leo, Shenz, Lynn and I went to Taylor's Thyme and Terragon Restaurant to be served by Adrian, Lynn's boyfriend. It was quite tensed at first, but the tension died down after a few dishes and we started going crazy like a bunch of hyper laughing hyenas. Really enjoyed it as the food was nice although the Black forest cake in the end was kinda "jelak". Made filling me up way too much that I started having the feeling of throwing up.


At the end of the dinner. We were laughing all the way back to the car. Shenz and I laughed till our stomach hurt. The crazy laughing fit started when we were in the ladies washroom and Lynn was halfway into a sentence then a random watery fart sound came from an occupied cubicle. We tried so hard not to burst out laugh or at least tried to laugh silently... But we just couldn't hold it in, especially after the laughing session we had in the restaurant. When we left it was raining slightly and we looked around the campus.


The new Taylor's campus looked really beautiful from afar. I was very disappointed in the finishing though. Discolored cement stairs?? Horrible wall plastering and paint?? Exposed pipping, holes and cables at the ceiling?? Did we really pay them this much for this to happen. Oh well, we're just students. I have to admit though. The facilities are impressing. For example, the library, when I went there I was very impressed that they manage to create an environment which students would feel comfortable studying in. Another impressing feature was the landscaping around the buildings. very nicely done grass and outdoor stair area to the boardwalk. Loved the board walk and the miniature waterfall in front of Thymes.


Quite discouraged by the fact they mentioned "Lake-Side Campus" when it was more of a "Mine-Side Campus". I can tell you, that thing is freakin' deep. I would caution ladies wearing heels in the campus. Might be a little difficult to walk around due to amazing landscaping and different surfaces.

Movies and worries

Starting friom where I left off. that night when I went to tidy his room, he came to my house to tell me how surprised he was and he was so adorable! Really appreciated it. Anyway, last night I finally met Leo's brother's wife. She's really sweet and cute. She has a great personality. Great couple. So we all had dinner with Leo's family at his dad's company dinner. After that we went to Pavilion with Leo's brothers Ian and Zen with Ian's wife, Daphne, and Yikee, Zen's girlfriend. Wim, Zhen Zing and one more cousin came with us. We watched Legion. I found it.... ummm... not relly awesome. Like some parts of it but I would only give it a 4/10. Sorry... Nice wings though and guys with nice bodies *giggle*


So right now, here I am, bored to my guts. Was angry with Leo this morning. I don't know if I should make up a reason for myself to not be angry. He himself doesn't know what he's done wrong. If I get angry at him he'll just hate me and think I'm the most annoying person in the world. I don't know what his reason is. Is he not used to having a girlfriend? Or he just doesn't know what to do? I'm not sure. Everytime I'm angry with him, I blame it on myself. So I will never have to show my anger to him. I love him too much to lose him.

Oh well, now watching Departures with my family. Awesome Japanese movie about a cellist taking up a job as an undertaker. Dressing the dead and preparing the dead for their departure. Very good movie. I would give it a 9/10. Amazing storyline. Amazing cast. Amazing music. Extremely respectable movie. I would recommend everyone to watch it.

Anyway, gotta go get ready. Having dinner with Leo's family.

Pssst...

Well it's not really a secret. More like a surprise. Leo have always wanted to tidy up his oh-so-comfortable room and he mentioned getting nice looking boxes to chuck all his stuff out of sight. So yeap, that's what I did. I bought him nice black & white boxes which suits his room. He hasnt been able to spend time with me today because of classes and the parentals... So I called him to confirm that they were all still out then sneaked into the house, went to his room and started to tidy everything up.

Anyway I hope he's surpised and I hope he likes it. You should know how guys are. The messier the better. I'm starting to miss him alot. So used to being able to see him everyday, then one day he's too busy and I start missing him like crazy!

Come to think about it, I haven't been clubbing in quite awhile. Especially after Laura's birthday celebration. I love Zouk. I always have fun there. Music's great and the guys there are easy on the eyes *wink* Have to go there to collect my membership card. I have to go dance and get my groove on soon before I start dancing in pulic... scary *laughs* Definitely something no one wants to see.

So... gotta head to the showers then get dressed and go see my babies at the pet shop. At the same time, to pick Lynn up from work. She must be exhausted. I miss her. Been getting along really well with her the past holiday.

I Love My Sisters <3 !!!

The living dead...

I feel like a zombie right now. It's officially been 28 hours of not sleeping. I couldn't sleep last night which resulted in my parents forcing me to stay awake the whole day until it's time to sleep tonight. It's very important I get my sleep tonight as I'll be having an interview tomorrow. So sleepless nights and nerves... don't go well together. Right now, I could fall asleep anywhere as I'm absolutely in a sleepy daze. People say things, I answer and I don't remember it happening.

So the only way to stay awake? Is to help my mum make pineapple tarts. Yummy! So far I have time to write in my blog is because we're preheating the oven. A serving of extra buttery pineapple tarts coming up! I've made pineapple tarts with my mum before and I'm looking forward to popping one into my mouth as soon as it's done. Then let the magic happen!

Anyway, parents going out for a company dinner later at night so I have to pick Lynn up from work. She's currently working at PetsMore. A pet shop in Queen's Park near Jalan Peel. I love going there to visit her. Today when I dropped her off I saw my favourite! Little 1 month old Shih Tzu, with the most adorable face anyone can ever find. Spent an hour there just bonding with the dog and loving it. Adorable Shih Tzu like those get sold really fast and I don't want to lose him *tear* I just cant afford him. He sells for Rm1,180, not including cage, leash, food or accesories. Oh well, I'll have to wait and pray no one takes him.


I have to get back to making pineapple tarts... Have a secret to tell later *wink*

Movie, Shopping... Starbucks-ing...

Went to Times Square to0 get my precious back after 4 long months. No not talking bout a human. My phone! My Prada! My precious! Sent it for repairs 4 months ago and yes it's a Malaysian tradition to take as long as they can to fix something. And it freaking cost me RM85!!! But oh well, at least I got my precious back. Miss it so darn much!

Anyway moving on... Today after picking the phone up, I went shopping for CNY clothes. Walked all floors of Times Square and I could not find a decent, elegant yet sexy dress. All I found we're dresses that are so "la-la" and that make me look way too young for my age. Then I remembered I saw a dress that I liked but didnt have the time to try in Sungei Wang. I walked all the way there just to try the dress and guess what? Makes my boobs look flat... Sad right? So I keep walking. Starting to lose my interest and excitement.
Then I saw it...

A tiny little shop right in the corner. I forgot what it was called as all I saw was that dress. And it's not plain red. It's in my ever favourite maroon colour. There it was hanging on that rack. A sexy yet elegant dress, a halter top design and the skirt is pleated silk. It glimmered and shined in the spotlight as its material was silky and it flowed smoothly like a river of maroon water as the wind blowed. The dress is just like the pic below. Just in maroon colour instead of black.
What did I do? I grabbed it from the rack and put it against my body. The colour was beautiful and it looked perfect. I tried it on and without a second thought I bought it! Only cost me RM25. Was I happy? Hell yeah! *cheer*

Walked back to Times Square to meet Leo as I left him to study for his exam at OldTown. Met up with him and went to buy movie tickets for The Toothfairy which stared Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Funny how I can recall his full name now when all I could remember 5 mins ago was "The Rock". For me, I'd give that movie a 7.5/10. Why?
~ It was very entertaining
~ Dwayne Johnson fits the role well
~ Julie Andrews is in it
~ Has great morals: No matter how old you are, never stop dreaming and expecting the best
~ It has ice hockey and amazing skating!! Woo-hoo!!
After the movie, went to this beauty shop called Nature Republic on the 1st floors that sold beauty products imported from Korea. Amazing products. Love the 'Alaska Ice' series. You can put the products in the fridge and when you use it... Pure relaxation! A little bit pricey but hell yeah it's damn amazing. At that time... no more cash to buy *tear* So sad. But don't worry, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's favourite quote, I'll be back! LOL.

So I'm back home. Ready to go to bed. Hoping Leo isn't studying too hard and forgetting to sleep. His OS exam is today and I'm worried for his health. My poor baby...

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR OS EXAM BABY!!!

And me.. I'm signing off for now, and gonna jump into my comfy bed *yawn*

For the first time in my life,
I realize he loves me so much.


*~*~*~*~*

Pancake Lunch...

Yes, you've guessed it!! We're having pancakes for lunch! Who is we? My baby, Leo, my lil princess, Shenz and myself. Made those pancakes up from scratch. I love to cook and bake.
I love the satisfaction I see on the faces of the people when they enjoy and savour my creations!! So here I am, watching Leo drown his pancakes in maple syrup and watching Shenz stuff pancakes into her already full mouth.

I know it's only January, but I wanna start planning my baby's birthday. Make it the best birthday ever for him. He deserves the best after everything he's been through. I guess I just got to keep my mind wide and open for new ideas.

Everyone has special dates in their lives. Coming to think of it, I have a few of my own. For example, the 13th of November or the 1st of August. There are so many. And we all have that little space in our mind to keep store those dates, hoping we'd remember when the day comes.

Now watching Shenz playing with Leo, I just can't hold my giggles in. Anyway, I'm glad to finally have someone that gets along really well with my family. And he never fails to make me laugh. Oh well, I hope one day he will know that I appreciate him so much.
I have to go wash dishes now. LOL. Random.

<3 Love you...

Memorable Transition

Happy 21st Birthday Tzouh How!!!


This is a birthday poem for you:

Childhood like a distant boat,
Course taken, others wrote.
Rebelled from your chosen way,
Winds and waves aided, youth astray.

Swan-like elegance, grew up brisk,
Memories remain on a disk.
Unique and random, cannot deny,
With each passing day - glorify.

Now at the age of twenty one,
Life has truly just begun.
Hope and wish your dreams come true,
Along the way... A gorgeous view.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~


I would like to thank Tzouh How for inviting Leo and I to his party. It was fun. Great food, great company, great time!

Happy birthday to you!! <3

Awesome Quote: Imperfect is the new perfect

"Imperfect is the new perfect"

I heard this quote when I was watching Shane Dawson on YouTube. A video about self image and what ladies think bout body image. As in, do you have to be model-skinny to be perfect?

My answer: HELL NO!

So if you think you're imperfect?? Don't worry... you're now perfect :D


***The video: The Perfect Body by Shane Dawson and Caitlin Crosby

***Another video: Embracing Your Flawz by Caitlin Crosby


And yes, I'm not asleep yet muahahaha.. Now I'll sleep LOL..
I <3 ShaneD

Imperfect is the new perfect!

Wake up in the morning feelin' like P.Diddy...

Hmmm... how does P.Diddy feel?? Anyway, it's 3.16am... n it's been 2 nights and counting that I am not able to actually fall asleep in my room of 20yrs. But the minute i get to Leo's room and just plops down on his bed. I go into this deep sleep where nothing could wake me up. So, the solution for my 2nd un-sleep-able night was to make my self a shot, as in alcohol. Got a big shot glass, salt rim the glass, mixed martini and blackberry concentrate, shake with ice then... drink! And I think it's working pretty good. Yes I'm still awake but i can feel the drowsiness kick in.

Lynn, my sis, currently working in a pet shop. Advantages for me! I get to check out the cutest puppies ever!! My fave??? The pure white with a gray streak down its back and beautiful bright blue eyes... the Siberian Husky!! Absolute beauty... I would buy it if it doesn't cost RM2.6k. Although there is another puppy that my sister simply adores, the schnauzer.. Did I spell it right?

So it's been 10 minutes, and yes alcohol kicking in... and bored.. so I'm freakin' off to bed.. Final-effing-ly!! ZzzzZZZzZZzzzz!!!

Puck me hard (as in ice hockey) :p
