four days in one

Right. I swear I just spent fifteen minutes trying to get here and update. Grrr. Is blogger doing maintainence or something?

Bah! Anyway. I'm sorry I haven't been updating! I was just rushing to finish up my presentation for Malaysian Studies class, which I did today. Which also means I'm going to skip my class tomorrow cause I've seriously had enough of Malaysian Studies. The lecturer asked us to switch off laptops off today! Luckily we needed to use it again five minutes later, or I'd have died from boredom. No joke.

Back to life, last week around... Thursday or Friday? I was feeling generous, so I did a bento lunch box for my mom. :p Yes, I'm a Japan lover, sort of, and I love preparing cute bento boxes!


Not that mine ended up looking anything resembling cute, that is. I just had fun doing it. But the original japanese bento sets are really cute! Some look way too cute to eat in fact.

Like these, which will probably take hours to make. heck, there are chicks, ducklings, cats, bears, dogs, raccoons! It'll seriously take hours.

This, which is sold in a Japan Shinkansen (Bullet train) station. Its a grab-and-go lunch set! And its filled with all necessary nutrients too! Fish, meat, rice, dessert, and veg. Heck its so much easier to eat on the go in Japan, and it still keeps you healthy too!
And this is adorable! Little piggie rice balls, with a colorful upper layer.<33Saw this huge huge single croc shoe there, same material and everything. Just quadruple the size. Smaller shoes there are the normal ones, for comparison. :p

Found the baseball cap-ish cap at Kitschen. Loved it! The golden design on top made it look so intricate. But mom said I was impractical if I wanted to spend so much money on a cap, so I didn't get it. ;_;



My lovely new Mizzies! The last pair of sport shoes I had was a pair of blue Nike's, which spoilt like.. three years ago, and I never bothered getting a new pair. Now I got one though, just cause I can exercise and jog every evening. I've started getting fatter lately. :p Wana exercise, just so I don't end up being an unhealthy, obese lil girl. Rawr. Yes I'm extremely obsessed over my weight, even if I love eating. I gave up eating my lovely fatty pork meat because of it. T_T

Then later that night, after buying my stuff, we headed over to uncle's brothers place, where Uncle Siew Pan cooked lamb stew! Absolutely delicious I tell you.

Pot of lamb stew not around, but on the table was salad, pasta, saute mushrooms and pumpkins. The highlight had to be the lamb stew though! I got so indulged in eating it the moment it went on the table, I forgot to take a picture of it. Was so delicious, I think I took like.. four huge chunks of it, forget the diet. :p

And then for dessert, I made caramel pudding!
Turned out perfect. The first time I tried making it a few weeks ago, I think I added too much milk and cream, came out too soft, ended up looking like tauhu. :p This time though, the texture was just right. Wee!

And then I had Malaysian Studies again today. =.= Pictures of my presentation's with Lene, will probably post them up next time if I get them. Wana go for my jog now. *bounces off*

bartender go boom!

I found the cutest game! Well, actually, Joyce introduced it to me. The boredom of Malaysian Studies does that to you. We were fiddling around with Jo's laptop, when she suddenly decided to play a random game. And I sorta got addicted to it. :P

Its called Bartender: The Right Mix, at http//y8.com, and its amazingly random, but amazingly cute. xD

See, all you have to do is mix a cocktail for the bartender to drink. If you're lucky, all you're going to get is a non-chalant look like this.
Or if you're even luckier, your cocktail might have him becoming a sudden rock star like so.
But the most fun stuff happens when you whack it up. Of course, who wouldn't want to see a bartender getting sick cause of one cocktail?

or perhaps, you'd rather see your bartender choking to his death, because of your cocktail again?
Ooh! Maybe you'd like to see him have a 16 tonne weight dropped on him, for apparently no reason other then the cocktail you make?
Sometimes, he'll even throw a party when what you made didn't kill him... not that his very enthusiastic. Hmm, I wonder if he wants you to kill him?
And of course, who can resist, fire-breathing bartender? Not me. xP
And there are tons of selection to mix too! There's Cranberry, Orange and other juices, champagne, vodka, gin, tonic, absinthe, and even some odd named ones like Creme de Mathes and Triple Sec or something like that. xD Its highly amusing, and if only for one day, can amuse your boring classes or afternoons.

Who knows, maybe if you shake hard enough, you'll get to make him explode.

birds! dogs! lizards...?

Rawr. So its been days since I last updated, but I lost muse. Gomen ne? But I went to The Curve today! And met the most awesome function they have there.

It was some bird fair, not that I really took notice of what or who organized it, but what captivated me were the animals there who looked so impossibly cute!
White parrot, which look absolutely fluffy! No don't ask me what its real species is, I have no idea. :P

Small, colorful parrot! It was smaller then my palm, but so darn mischevious! Its the smallest of the lot, so the handler would usually put this little one on the head of the person taking pictures. Then the rascal will go and nip at the person's hair. xD


Spiderbird! These two are African Gray Parrots or something. They're apparently the smartest of their kind, but these two in particular, never stood at their roosts! All they did was climb around the ceiling of their enclosure all day. Its amusing watching them, and I'm not so sure if they're fighting or showing affection. xD

By far the most gorgeous, handsome bird there! It was a species of owl, I'm not so sure. But the feathers above its eyes were arched upwards, and he looked like some world knowing scholar or something. So darn gorgeous. I wanted to take a picture with him, but it costs ten bucks. T-T


Cutest things there! Tiny chicks and ducklings, which were so noisy and so darn adorable! All fluffy and yellow and cute and innocent. So comfyyyy! I swear, if my room were bigger, I'd so totally buy a four poster bed, complete with curtains and the like. Its like... some princess dream bedroom. Xp

Went to Bubba Gump for dinner, and the food was good!
Run Across America. Which reminds me, the movie Forest Gump a little silly lor! I've never actually watched it, but from what I saw at Bubba Gump, he ran across America for 3 years or something? Not logical, and... >.< Baked seafood cheese rice. Which was so so mouthwateringly good. I think they used Swiss cream or something to make it? It tasted a little like Pizza Uno's Carbonara, but instead, they used baked rice. Very very good.

Caeser salad. I only ate a little of it, but its not b ad at all. Of course, I was never one for greens, so don't take my word for it.

They have a really cool way of calling the waiters to your table too! Say, if you want service, all you have to do is...
Put up the 'Stop Forrest Stop!' sign. And then when you don't want anything,


Put the 'Run Forrest Run!' sign.

There was once, I was just playing with the signs, when the manager whom was walking past suddenly slowed down and looked at me. Heh. Probably wasn't a good idea to play with the signs when its supposed to call the waiters, but my fingers got itchy. Xp All in all though, Bubba Gump is a pretty good place to eat, albeit the price being a little on the high end. I'll give it a 7/10, just cause the food is ridiculously good.

Oh! And guess what I found while at Daiso today?

A cooking timer just like the one Bambi uses in Baccanale, in Bambino! I know, I super jakun,but what to do! Besides, it'll be useful for me when I cook, so I'm happy. :P

And i have a new prized posession!

Arashi Around Asia 2008 Kokuritsu DVD! I've been wanting this for ages! It may cost be 140 bucks, but it was money well spent, for me at least. Its like, my most wanted thing since last year, ever, and now i have it! And I'm going to go rewatch it for the millionth time now! :P

love reigns over all in the world?

Just finished rewatching ISWAK and TKA for the third time (and cried my eyes out again), and I can never get over how amazing the story is.

I know people will say Xiang Qin is a little too dumb, a little too stupid, and a girl who puts way too much importance on love itself, but I can't help but think TKA is like, the perfect story. The girl reflects a lot of girls in the world, imperfect, a little silly sometimes, but a romantic at heart no matter what. The only difference is that Xiang Qin has the courage to stand up for what she believes in, and the courage to confess to the one she loves.

And that confession gave her a lifetime of happiness. With her husband, whose imperfection comes with his cold attitude, and his huge amount of jealousy, but is polished off by how suave he is, and how devoted and dedicated he is to his wife.

And unlike her, I'll never get the courage to actually tell anyone I like about whatever I feel, or think. Oh well, what to do? I'll be an old maid. :P

compulsory subjects are the pits. >.<

Can someone please tell me why Malaysian Government insists on Malaysian Studies for every Malaysian student in college? C'mon! I mean, sure, five years of it in high school is compulsory, that I accept. But college?! Why?! Is there really a point? All we do is re-learn things we already learnt about in class back in high school, not to mention its a complete waste of my money.

First Malaysian Studies class today, which was an absolute bore. I spent most of the time chatting with friends, or reading my book.

Hall where we were doing our class. It was the whole of March intake MUFY students in one auditorium, and darn, there were quite a lot of people. Me and Joyce were expecting less people to turn up. Not that it mattered though, since everyone gravitated behind and the front two rows were empty. I suspect that most came just to catch up with friends. :p

My row. I was next to Li Fan, and Joyce was on my other side. During class, we were sorta snacking on Ivy's strawberries while talking away, and... er... I think the lecturer saw? Ah, don't care la. Not as if i like being in MS class anyway. Pssh.

This is what boredom makes you do. Note how people behind were chatting and looking at phones? No one was listening in class at all! The only reason I have my glasses on was to communicate with a couple of my friends sitting further in front, Cherly and Qing. :P
No one was listening, need I repeat? Thats Li Fan, the absolutely adorable, random girl. xD Excuse the fact that I look fugly here. Bottom up was never my best angle, but I didn't want to put the camera topwards riight. Too conspicious. xD

The only thing that kept me sane during the class was a book, and friends. This book in particular. xD Have I ever mentioned that I adore historical romance books? I love them. I have a whole huge collection to them, no thanks to Jessica who got me addicted to them. xD Favourite writer has got to be Julia Quinn, but I go for any type, any writer, really. :P

After an excruciating hour and a half, we were given assignments to do, and then we spent the rest of our time discussing. Me went in a group with Joyce, Qing, Chery and Wei.

The hand would be Chery's. She's such a cutie. Damn I still need to get a picture of her. She practically dragged me out of the hall just cause she didn't want to go to the toilet herself! xD

And then I went home at 12.30, and spent the whole afternoon doing my nails. 4 hours later, and my back hurts, and my nails are somewhere near perfect. My right hand still sucks, cause the coordination of my left hand is lousy, and the tiny beads were so hard to do!! But I'm... sorta satisfied. Wana see?

I place tiny beads across the whole nail, and then hearts on the beads. They look adorable. Now here's to hoping those beads don't fall off before tomorrow. >.<

Almost time to cook dinner now. Toodles people!

Night market loves. xD

Homg holidays are a bore.

I know I know! I've been complaining about my school work and stuff, but then once holiday mood starts to wear off a little, they really start to get boring you know? With nothing to do all day, noting but the computer and the telly to keep you company wears off a little. Luckily I have my fandom to keep me alive. xD

Went to my brother's house yesterday, cause its been a week or so since I moved and I've never actually seen them since, so yeah, I went over to my internetless brother's house. God when I came back, there was SO MANY THINGS for me to catch up on. Amazing how stuff can accumulate in just one night.

Oh! And guess what we had for dinner at my brother's house? No cooking. We went to the pasar malam! Or night market. The night market in Malaysia is probably one of the few most amazing things around. No air-con sure, but you get cheap, and nice stuff!. They have an amazing amount of stuff there.

Warning! Crap quality pictures ahead. Pictures taken by useless W380i. Walkman phone. NOT a camera phone. >.<
From vegetables

To hairstuff. Clips, pins, hairbands, hair accesories, you name it they have it.

Chicken! I can see them cutting and chopping at it... which is pretty freaky actually. To see those butchers chopping the chicken's head off, albeit it being dead and all. But.... since I cook it.... *wince*


There's even CD's there! Pirated of course. Look, I even found...

Super Junior's 2nd album! Amazing how Malaysian piracy business can be huh? They even have the exact album cover and all. xD Not that I bought it. I have better things to spend on. Like the best part of Malaysian night market. Guess what is it?

Food! Night market has the widest variety of food! chicken, burgers, noodles, rice... everything! To have dinner there is like heaven and earth. I walked around buying a little of everything and ended up with a bloated stomach. xD They even have these!

Kebab chicken! My favourite food! They roast the whole chicken, and then slice off piece by piece to make it in to a delicious pita. Hot piping roasted chicken is the best. xD

Oh! And look who came to visit while I was at my brother's house!

Baby second cousin. xD She's the new daughter of my cousin, Rowanne, and she's absolutely adorable! very fragile though, so I didn't dare to take a picture of her and me together, I needed both hands to carry her, but she's SO ADORABLE. And she needs people to actually rock her and walk, cause apparently, she wants to 'see things'. Don't know how far from the truth is that, but she's ADORABLE. xD

Came back today, and after watching too much of Bambino, I cooked spaghetti!


of course, not as good as the ones at Baccanale, nor as good as the one Bambi cooks, but it'll do. At least it satisfies my cravings. And to me, this is what makes a spaghetti.
Parmesan cheese. <3333 It never fails to satisify my cravings. xD

Anyway! I'm sorta addicted to Gimmick Game by Nino now, and I have Malaysian Studies at college tomorrow. Ish. What sorta crazy college puts Malaysian studies during the one month long holiday. Rawr. I shall go cultivate mushrooms now!

pictures!

been really busy lately. catching up on sleep and watching a new drama, Bambino, which stars none other then my darling Matsumoto Jun, member of famous Japanese boyband Arashi. I've been neglecting my poor blog. T-T But nevertheless! Short pictures post, before I go back to finishing my Bambino. Two more eps! <333 size="1">

All pictures from Lene's camera. Amazing Nikon DSLR<3333

we met the cutest mascots in Pyramid! The duck was adorable. Whenever she' spoke' a squeaking noise came out! And she acted so cute and embarrassed, it was adorable. Missing Rosh here, cause she was taking the picture with Lene's camera.


All self-obsessed pictures. xD Second one was taken in A Cut Above while waiting for her to cut her hair, and the first one was in the toilet, taken by Rosh. xD

Oh! ANd while waiting for Lene to get her hair finished, I went a little crazy in the saloon and started snapping pictures of everything and anything there. The result?

Nice? Nice?! I kinda liked them actually. xD Not as on par as the rest of the pro photographers, but they're sorta good, right? right?

And I'll do a longer, lengthier post tomorrow. Half dead now. *dies*
