No blackberry

2011-08-08T13:14:00.002+08:00

Gurney Plaza, Digi Center.

'Sorry we dont have any stocks left'.

Jusco Ipoh, Digi Center.

'Sorry, we are out of blackberry bold 9780'.

Went two stores in different states but yet, no stock for blackberry bold III.

Bold 9780, you so laku (in demand) meh? :(

Was quite disappointed so the boyf tried to cheer me up.

'You want to go shopping? Let's get you a top or something', 'You want to see books? You love reading don't you?', 'You want to eat sushi? Secret recipe cake?. Come my treat'.

:) So sweet of the boyf right?

Although I am disappointed, but it's okay. Because my weekend was filled with quality time with my family members, and Josiah Tay. :) Thanks for coming and making the weekend so beautiful.

Hope to see you again, real soon. :D

Surprise.

2011-07-29T21:28:00.002+08:00

Today he came. He decided to drop by on his way back to Kuala Lumpur from Lumut. Buzzed me. Was sleeping at that time. He said 'Hey. I'm dropping by. See you'.

Although it was just only 40 minutes, but thank you Josiah, for stopping over.

Never knew I've missed you so much. :)

Week 8

2011-07-14T23:44:00.002+08:00

Week 8!

I think.

I've lost track of time, but I know that by August I need to settle FYP. Ahhhh FYP BEGONE! I hate you.

Tomorrow's friday and I can't wait to go KL! Gonna watch Liverpool vs Malaysia. :D My second football match live! After the Man Utd vs Malaysia match back in 2009 I think. No jersey to wear. :(

Can't wait for Saturday and wish me luck for my Ability Test with Petronas.

Labuan FT

2011-06-14T14:28:00.012+08:00

Last post. April 29th.

Wow really had been quite some time.

Been really, really busy. Not with studies. But busy enjoying myself. :)

Anyways, latest updates. I just got back from Labuan. Love hate relationship with Labuan FT. Boring (only one mall, food not that nice, food expensive, small, ntg to do, etc, etc) yet awesome (awesome people, cheap chocolates, cheap liquor, beach? maybe).

So I was there for my field exposure with Schlumberger. 1 week in Labuan. One of the best experiences I may say, getting an insight unto how and what the engineers and operators in SLB do. :)

First time wearing blue coveralls, all these while yellow (Petronas).

Welcome to Labuan. A small and humble island.

We flew there by AirAsia. And I went with another UTP friend (Iffwad) and a new found friend from UTM (Ravin). It's like 1Malaysia. LOL.

Accommodation - Engineers' house (Lazenda 3). I have to say it's awesome! Double storey house and I got the master bedroom, fully furnished with queen sized bed, wardrobe, air conditioned. :) Stayed with another Field Specialist(FS) and a Field Engineer Vacation Trainee(FEVT).

Bus comes at 7.30a.m. daily, work practically begins at 8a.m. and ends whenever you are done with your job. First two days I went back at 5p.m., third day at 7p.m., 4th day at 10p.m. and 5th day at 5p.m. :)

Heck, tiring but fun! We get to touch the tools and even clean and service them. Hard work but interesting. :)

At the main entrance of SLB. Together with Andry (FEVT) and Wilfred (Crew Chief)

With Andry and Wilfred again. This time in the dog house.

With Wilfred, Dexter, Ravin, Iffwad, Andry, and some unknown workers.

Oh by the way if you wonder where we are wearing different coloured safety helmets, this is because for those who are there to visit, they need to wear blue helmets. Green helmets - for those less than a year in terms of working experience, white helmets - more than a year.

With the tools.

This is with Mr Rutat. Our Field Service Manager (FSM). He's from Thailand.

Last day at the airport. Doing last minute shopping.

With Iffwad. Back KL using MAS.

I've learnt a lot, observed, and had so much fun in Labuan. Thanks to awesome people who constantly brought me out for lunch and dinner, and also for shopping.

Honestly, in the beginning I really wanted to come back asap, but after 2 days later, I actually hoped that my field exposure would be longer. Haha. :)

Thanks to those who gave me advices in life. Especially Rutat, Welter, Wilfred, Baby, Phil, Ning.

Thanks to those who brought me out. Ning, Tiong, Clarence, Phil.

Hope to see you guys again in Labuan :)

xoxo.

Oh hi! *waves

Just want to let you guys know that I've got a new blog just for pictures!

Head over to www.renaelyng.tumblr.com

Pictures are taken using Canon 550D. Either 18-55mm lens or 18-135mm lens.

Set up tumblr just to make sure I don't lose my passion for photography. It's a good motivation. :D

Check it out and give me some feedbacks if you wish. :D

p/s : First final paper is just next friday! O.o

p/p/s : Ei don't know why I can't get the wordings to be bigger. :(

Welcome back!

2011-04-23T21:41:00.006+08:00

Heyy. :)

I'm typing this, at the same time, feeling very, very tired. :(

Been in church the whole day, tomorrow's Easter! :D

It's the day Christ rose from the dead after being crucified on the cross as the sacrificial lamb to atone for all our sins. Your sins. My sins. Our sins.

The God who can conquer death, is the only God whom can give you eternal life.

They say you can get eternal life and the passport to heaven by doing good deeds (eg charity, helping others, etc). These good deeds are good, obviously LOL. But they are not enough to give you eternal life. And bring you to heaven.

For it is said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Nobody comes to the Father except through me (Christ)". John 14:6.

Very clearly said. And written. :)

And I am glad I have been saved, and have a beautiful walk with God everyday.

I hope my loved ones will one day be saved as well, hope they can feel God's love, be touched by God in ways they can't fathom. It's beyond words. :)

Anyways, happy Easter everyone! :D

Jesus loves you! xx

On a side note, I've just survived one of the toughest week in this semester. FYDP is finally over, left with Final Year Project. Pheww. Finals soon. Two more weeks from now. All is well. Still recovering from everything. Fatigue, etc. Tired beyond words :( Hence, the lack of updates.

Alright. Time to zoom off. Shower and time to rest :)

Have a blessed Sunday everyone! :D

Break.

2011-03-11T02:07:00.004+08:00

My last post?

13th of Feb 2011. Awesome right. Haha. Final year student, shaking legs every single day, 2 days of classes only but still couldn't update her blog. Failure. :(

But anyway, I am back in Penang. For mid sem break. 4 days only but I left uni early to make it 6 days. :) And I drove all the way back from uni to Penang! This is an achievement! Woot! Proud of myself and I thank God for really keeping me safe. The drive was kinda smooth, with not that many lorries and trucks like what I had expected. Really thank God for everything.

And the boyf is with me in Penang! Yay! He will be with me till Monday, leaving for JB on Tuesday. Am spending good quality time with him, and will spend every minute with him for the remaining days. Watched the Adjustment Bureau, and it was kinda good :)

So yeah I am still up at 2 in the morning, just to accompany him watch his favourite Liverpool against some team. And the boyf is rather tensed up with their play. Super tensed up I'd say. Haha.

Life is good. Loving everything. Thank you Lord. :)

xoxo.

2011-02-13T23:14:00.003+08:00

heyy y'all (:

i am back in penang, for 3 days already. life's awesome here in penang, obviously. unlike utp where i turn totally sluggish, i eat 4 times a day, sleep more than 8 hours and do nothing.

so it's better to do nothing here in penang than do nothing there in uni. wise choice i know :)

i should be starting on my fyp and fydp already, but still not in the mood. :( bleh. the mood will come later when it needs to.

and so today i went to queensbay mall. and i decided to pay a visit to umobile's shop before i leave qb. and i nearly got myself a BLACKBERRY BOLD 9780 deal with them. it was so close. this close. super duper close. parents were ready to buy already. but i was hesitating.

#1. aint fair for my parents to pay for my blackberry phone installment when they are already paying for my myvi monthly installment.
#2. the boyf's bb is not really in good condition. so he isn't on blackberry, which defeats the purpose of me using bbm. we used to bbm every single day when we both had our blackberry. but still, i have a lot of awesome bbm-ers. the list is growing everyday!
#3. do i really need the blackberry? i guess i could still survive in uni for 7 more months without the blackberry.

but the umobile's sales person was super convincing. very patient and nice. the plan is wonderful also. RM1700 for the phone and RM40 for bis monthly for 6 months only. The remaining 6 months of the year is free. SEE! See how close I was to giving in? Ahhhh.

okay then. guess i will just get ze bold later on. maybe end of this semester. or when i graduate. *shuts and disconnects mind from blackberry. evil thing.

oh since tomorrow's valentine's day, happy v day y'all! to the lovebirds and those in the process. to the singles. hmmm. cheers? okay this is awkward.

*runs away

the boyf aint around, but happy valentine's joe! :D

Blessed Tuesday;

2011-01-25T12:46:00.003+08:00

Good day y'all!

Today's Tuesday and when I pulled open the blinds, the sun came shining in, the birds chirping happily outside, ahhhh what a beautiful Tuesday. And a blessed one too! :) I'm amazed at the fact that I can actually wake up at 10am and obviously witnessing God's mighty and beautiful creation

Don't have any classes today, kinda free this semester. Classes are only on Mondays and Thursdays. Yay.

Second day of the brand new semester, and I can say that life's pretty good right now. Awesome timetable and close buddies and church mates. Staying alone this semester, thought I'd be facing lots of difficulties sleeping alone (i don't like to be alone cause i am like super talkative and i'd get all stressed up and depressed if left alone for too long) but God has been kind to me! Still not used to sleeping alone (i don't sleep alone at home) but been getting good rests lately. :)

One thing that is pissing me off, and everybody I reckon, is the internet connection in campus. Uber slow, and it automatically goes off at night. Pffftt. Which means that I can only watch movie and series at night.

Oh, and so if I can really pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, my wish would be 'Let God transport Joe and Lily back to campus!' Missing them much, and life in uni would be better! :D

But still, I thank God for placing awesome people around me here in uni. They still ask me out for lunch/dinner and even go to the extend to bring me out to Tronoh for dinner. Thank you! Despite me living in my own world when the boyf was around. Sorry peeps :(

On a brighter note, I am going HOME this friday! double yay! Aunt and Uncle and The Cousins will be back on Friday as well, Bro's back on Saturday :) CNY's so gonna be a blast :)

Family, Food, Fun, Laughter, Happiness, Ang Paus.

Have a blessed tuesday earthlings!

Till then,

toodles!

Melaka-Muar-JB

2011-01-05T23:25:00.017+08:00

My long overdue blog post on my Melaka-Muar-JB trip. Nothing interesting about the places, because Melaka and JB are places that I frequently visit.

The main highlights of the trip however:
#1. First time to Muar
#2. First time visiting relatives from dad's side
#3. Quality time with the parents, bro and sis
#4. Spending christmas with the boyf
#5. Food and loads of shopping!

Okayy I did sinfully indulge in Melaka's awesome food. :D And jb's. Hmmm still fine tuning my taste buds to suit the locals. Like how joe put it - acquired taste. Hah. But I am getting used to their wantanmee. :) a step forward already *beams.

As usual, visited A Famosa, Studhuys, A Famosa Water World, Jonker Street, Mahkota Parade, Dataran Pahlawan, Portuguese Settlement. The usuals. Ate chicken rice ball, assam fish, satay celup, durian cendol. The usuals again. But found something that I love uber much! Can be found anywhere but I first had it in Melaka.

Introducing,

*lei cha! or also known as thunder tea!*

I know many of you will cringe at the sight of this bowl of brown rice filled with awesome vegetables. I can actually eat this for every meal like forever! And they give you mint soup to go with it :D

*chicken rice ball*

*the chicken*

*satay celup*

*durian cendol*

*assam pedas fish*

A day trip down muar to visit dad's sis. I've never met relatives from dad's side before. First time ever after 22 years on planet earth. May be because they are in Melaka and Muar. hmmm.

After that trip down to jb to celebrate christmas with the boyf. :) Had a great time with joe, joel and the brother. Played many, many rounds of photo hunt, basketball at the arcade, watched movies, go shopping. :) fun.

*joe and i*

*the bro and i*

*the x group. hah!*

xoxo (:

goodbye

2011-01-01T23:10:00.003+08:00

goodbye you my beloved blackberry. :(

this post is dedicated to my current BlackBerry Curve 8520. i shall be parting hands soon with this beauty, whom will find her way into the hands of another owner.

but at least i know that the next owner is also a bb lover, so i trust the next owner completely that my beloved bb will be in good hands.

she has been with me since late of july/early august. got her in ipoh for rm900, after the blackberry craze started by my coursemate. and she has been faithfully serving me till now. and she'll be leaving my hands this coming monday. :(

i've used her to email my lecturers, buddies; to chat; play games; refer the bible; facebook; use the dictionary and so much more. ahhhh thank you! uber convenient, people can easily get hold of me 24/7, unless i am away on the bed.

i've had so many fond memories together with her, and indeed, one of the best phones i've ever had, owned, and used. so indeed i'll be parting ways with her with a heavy heart. there's practically nothing wrong with her, just that i am making way for another phone. so yeahh :(

goodbye youu. and i hope you will be happy with the next owner.

'it's hard to say goodbye. but life must go on! haha' - Ollie

and yes, she's the next owner. you know what to do ollie! haha.

so long blackberry curve. till we meet again. :)

another hour to go

2010-12-31T22:38:00.002+08:00

aight another hour to go and many people will be ushering in 2011 with confetti, paper hats, booze and also exchanging pleasant wishes.

may be that time i'll be in bed already. It's only 10.45 and I am already feeling darn sleepy. Told mum I need to go to bed already and she said wait for another hour to usher in the new year. So to kill time I've decided to blog. Again. Without pictures. Again.

By next year I'll be turning 23. I actually forgot my age when I filled up a form today. Horror can. But 22 years on planet Earth I've never actually partied with the masses to usher in the new year. For the past 22 years I've only stayed at home, watched the television and sms-ed and replied those who texted me, wished the family members and then off to bed.

Ain't my thing to be going out with friends/unknown peeps and party all the way down to midnight. So yeah this post is for me to recollect the ever interesting 2010. :)

#1. Did my internship with Petronas in a very secluded place I'd say, but nevertheless fun. And awesome.

#2. Won an iPod Touch. :)

#3. Crossed something out from the wish list. Hello BlackBerry!

#4. Parents got me a brand new car that will be arriving just in time before CNY 2011.

#5. Went cuti cuti Malaysia, covering places like Sarawak and Sabah. I now only have Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu to go.

#6. Picked up guitar and on my way to becoming Joe Satriani! Okayy that's a lil bit too much. Hah.

#7. Picked up drums too!

#8. Got my baby, Canon 550D 18-135mm. Awesome.

#9. Visited Singapore 2 times this year, nearly made it 3 times though. Singapore is <3, so is Universal Studios Singapore.

#10. Had an awesome semester with the retards, and my beloved room mate.

#11. Ate like super much but still lost weight. A plus point for this ever interesting year.

#12. A very exciting year with the boyf :)

#13. Made more friends-yes; made enemies-hmmm i'd hope not.

#14. Lost two great friends, and several others. :(

#15. Hmmm what else? I have short term memory for your info. I don't recall things easily cause I choose not too. I prefer to enjoy life as it is and move on. Nothing else I supposed besides the minor stuffs.

List of resolutions for year 2011?

Have not started thinking but i bet it'll be too many to be listed here. Life's like that. You make 100 resolutions and you only achieve 10%-30%. So i don't bother to make any now and only make some along the course of 2011. :)

Anyway, may the year of the Rabbit bring you happiness and blessings nonetheless!
*whistles and throws confetti*

quickie v1.0

2010-12-31T19:57:00.004+08:00

Okayy so I have about 3 post pending. :/

One is about my Melaka, Muar, JB holiday trip; 2nd is about fine dining at Cassis in Penang, where a set lunch can cost up to RM68 and lastly the post about ushering in the new year and recapping the good ol' memories.

Photos are in dslr and my blackberry, but the cables are in somewhere else. Pfffttt. Can't get hold of the holidays pictures and the set lunch pictures. Looks like I've got to wait a tad longer to get back my cables.

And oh, I am selling my BlackBerry Curve 8520 for roughly RM500. 4 months old baby. 99% new, not faulty at all. Still under warranty for 7-8 months :) Anyone who is interested do contact me please! No photos of my BlackBerry now as I can't transfer pictures from my dslr. Sigh. :(

But anyways, Happy New Year in advance people! :D May the Rabbit year be an awesome one. :)

a little bit of this and that

2010-12-08T01:42:00.002+08:00

Yeah i know, i know.

Cut me some slack. I know I haven't been updating like ages. Pffft pardon me. This semester has been really hectic. FYP, FYDP, 3 subjects. May seem few, only 3 final papers but these subjects and FYP and FYDP really drove me up the wall. Sigh.

Ate a lot throughout the whole semester, late night snacks and even my biological clock went uber wrong. But thankfully it's all over :)

But seriously, I couldn't have gone through all these without God. He showed me that all these will come to pass and no matter what, He is still my God and I need to dedicate time to Him no matter how busy I could get. :)

Currently still in uni, can't wait to get back home to see the family. Missing them loads. Bro is back, my holidays are gonna be so fun. :) Parents are gonna bring us to Malacca and KL. :D Can't wait for the trip to Sunway Lagoon with the family. Missing my grandma to bits, can't wait to see her and to have lunch with her :)

The boyfriend got me a whooping pair of black classic converse sneakers! omgggg they are so gorgeous. I have never liked converse but the boyf made me change my mind after he got his converse. Best-est part : I can wear converse for kids and the sneakers are actually cheaper compared to the ones for adults. Hah! Saved about RM20. :D

Earliest christmas present ever! :D Have yet to find any nice checkered shirt oh well nevermind. Got to continue checkered-shirt-hunt in Penang. The boyf is still hunting for his christmas present though. :)

Been wasting my day by watching four eps of Glee. And I am kinda tired now. :(

Logging off!

xoxo.

p/s Random 1: I am not fully utilizing my dslr

p/s/s Random 2: I am super in love with my Blackberry Curve though I am still secretly wishing for a BB Bold 9780.

Ramblings of a final year first semester student

2010-10-24T18:12:00.002+08:00

My 200th post!

Yay! :)

Currently in week 13. Ahhh two more weeks then it'll be study week and then exam week which means loads of mugging, late nights, last minute revision.

If it wasn't for the passion, I would have regretted taking chemical engineering. Seriously. This course can zap out all my life and energy. Last week was uber hectic. Nearly everyday in lab for my fydp (final year design project), at times staying up till 10pm and skipping dinner. And ended up eating supper. Great :D

Was so tired and sleepy that I actually kicked the pavement and fell, one super big bruise on my left arm and a bloody right knee. When I got up, I saw the frightened and surprised and shocked look on my room mate's face. And the first thing that came out from my mouth was 'Did anyone see that?' Hah. Cover. Embarassing. And the last time I really fell was like in primary or secondary school. :(

My knee still hurts, and it's a torture to be wearing long pants, jeans especially. :( Arm's still bruised ahhhh the pain and consequences of being a final year student. But at least I'll be finishing in May next year! But when I think of all the stuffs that I have to go through first, I am so demoralized. :(

What's up this week?

Wed - FYDP Presentation

Thurs - HI Test 2

What's up next week?

Mon - FYP and FYDP Interim Report submission, PUS Test 2

And FYP Oral Presentation.

O.o

Hectic to the max. :( I need my at-least-eight-hours-of-sleep without fail, I need my life. :(

God, I need You. Help me through this. Amen.

ahhhhh. I can't wait for this to end! Pfffttt!

Convocation

2010-10-18T11:34:00.002+08:00

Ola! I've been away like really really long. Last post was dated a month back.

Sigh. Life of a hectic final year student. Life ain't that hectic actually, I have poor time management. :( Classes are like only 2-4 hours a day, I am sleeping just too well, eating extremely well, but my fyp and fydp is in jeopardy.

Told you it's poor time management. :(

Anyway, convocation has just ended :D Not many seniors of mine graduated as compared to the previous batch, I had plenty of fun catching up with these people. :) One year later then it'll be my convocation! My turn to receive my scroll and loads of flowers :D

Convofair, still, once again, nothing much. I find it boring, but oh well. It's better than nothing and your common cafe food.

I've got no time to post up pictures, let me find perhaps this weekend or something. :)

And congrats seniors! For your graduation. Will be missing you guys loads.

bye people!

xoxo.

Funny Mountain Tau Fu Fah @Ipoh

2010-09-17T17:16:00.005+08:00

Argh urgh everytime I think of fyp, I feel like puking every single thing out. Every single thing that I've just consumed. :(((( Have been delaying and procrastinating to the max, mid semester is about to be over and my progress report is still stuck at 30%. Still stuck at literature review. Greatness. Pffftt.

Anyway, went for food hunt on the first day of Raya. And I finally found this.

FUNNY MOUNTAIN TAU FU FAH (Soybean Curd)

Been wanting to try that for so long and finally I did! Pictures up next but I only used my Sony DSC T-10 so yeah quality's a tad bad. Sorry. :(

It's a corner shop

Queued for 10 mins just for 2 bowls of tau fu fah and 2 bottles of soya bean milk

Opens at 10.30a.m. and closes when closes when everything finishes (i.e. sold out)

They even made it into the papers

5 people working at one go

After 10 minutes

Verdict : AWESOME! Seriously awesome. Never tried such 'smooth' tau fu fah in my life before. But one set back, the sugar that comes with it is superbly sweet. I'm not a sweet tooth person so yeah after 5 spoonfuls I give up. Haha.

But according to Joe, it's just too good. In the correct proportion. :)

And the soya bean milk? Just as good. I prefer the soya bean milk more cause it ain't that sweet. :)

I've seen people coming all the way from Penang, KL and other places just to try this on the first day of Raya. So famous eh? :)

Total : 2 bowls of tau fu fah and 2 bottles of soya bean milk
Damage done : RM5 for cheap good food

A bowl of tau fu fah is RM0.80
A glass of soya bean milk is RM0.80
A bottle of soya bean milk is RM1.70
A big bottle of soya bean milk is RM4.50

So go figure!

Pasta House @Ipoh

2010-08-30T14:53:00.007+08:00

It's my 200th post!

And this post will be different, it shall be a food post :D

Wen Sher introduced Pasta House to me. And being a pasta fanatic, obviously I went to Ipoh all the way once I have the free time.

*this is it*

I know the picture is super unattractive. :( Sorry cause I was rushing to go back to uni so I just simply snap a picture of the restaurant. But the restaurant looks okay from outside, but the ambiance inside is nice :)

Ordered Spicy Aglio Olio with prawns and Joe ordered Beef Bolognese. They have a variety of pastas to choose from, even a few pizzas too. Also on the menu they offer Japanese Curry (macam sesat only) and bolognese rice. And the best part was the Country Pasta.

Eg : Japan

Pasta with Teriyaki Chicken Sauce

Eg : New Zealand

Pasta with beef and new zealand cheese

10 Country Pastas to choose from. And we tried India Pasta! :D India Pasta is pasta with curry and fish. Om nom nom. But as I was rushing, I had to pack that pasta and only eat it back in uni when it was terribly cold. But kinda nice though.

*menu, nice ambiance*

*our drinks (carrot and orange juice), taken by newbie josiah*

I don't like the fruit juices cause they (I think) are RM3.80 each and it looks like they only put a quarter of carrot only. What la scam my money.

*my spicy aglio olio with prawns*

*joe's beef bolognese*

My spicy aglio olio is fantastic. When they say spicy, they really mean it. Not that spicy but you can taste it somehow. And you can actually request for chilli flakes like what I did. And then it's the bomb! :)

Joe's beef bolognese is nevertheless awesome also. Nearly like the pasta sauce I always cook, but still mine's the best. Hah. *beams* They offer pork bolognese too, will try out later on. :)

Total : Beef Bolognese + India Pasta + Spicy Aglio Olio with Prawns + Orange Juice + Carrot with Milk

Damage done : RM50

Worth it or not? Hah. Portion may be a little bit small, that's why we ordered 3. And it only comes to RM50. Good enough. Reasonable enough.

Went back happy but I did not have enough time to try the desserts. Bah nevermind next time then. :)

Week 4 and counting

2010-08-16T21:26:00.005+08:00

This is week 4. omggg like super fast. Another like 10 more weeks to go before study week? This is uber fast. Pfffttt.

Had a very, very fruitful weekend. :)

Went to KL, Seremban, had lunch with church juniors and attended COP Ipoh Anniversary Dinner. Still feeling very, very tired after all these, I still need more sleeping time and rest.

Final year is kinda taking its toll on me, still coughing nevertheless. Already a week plus :( Too tired, lack of rest, too active, hence the lingering coughing virus. Bleh.

I've got so many things to do. Like soooooooooo many!

#1. Transfer pictures from dslr. Checked.

#2. Update blog. Checked.

#3. Read journals for FYP.

#4. Do research for FYDP.

#5. Find information for this Friday's PCS Presentation. Checked.

#6. Prepare slides for next week's individual presentation.

#7. Assignments (soon to come)

#8. Plan outing for the girls.

#9. Photoshoot at Kellie's Castle for the retards.

O.o Way too much workload to handle. Worse still, I am sleeping like non stop. :( Have yet to find the right kick start switch. :(

*with late jasmitt's family*

*lunch with the juniors*

*COP Ipoh 25th Anniversary Dinner*

Aight guess I shall stop here. Still need to transfer pictures to FB. Pffftt.

Blessed weekend loves! :)

xoxo.

Final year huh?

Ahhhh~

I'm now officially back in the uni as a Final Year student. That sounded old, but when I go around telling people I'm just only in Foundation, they buy it. Awesome much!

Anyways, it's already week 2, and still counting. 12 more weeks to go, and I'll be ending this semester already. Been very tired lately, falling sick after just a week back to uni (that shows either I dislike the uni or the uni dislikes my presence). Still in the process of recovering though. There was one night where sore throat, flu, cough, nose bleed, gastric came and visited me. Sigh. So tired lately, so many things to do, even when I sleep I'd worry about my FYP and FYDP.

Why the uni wants the chemical engineering students to do TWO projects simultaneously? And they ARE NOT SIMPLE. Don't know whether I can cope or not, but hopefully by God's grace and strength I'll be able to go through it.

The thing that I'm worrying more is FYP, cause I don't have a single clue about what my project is all about. I am always so tensed up and stressed out. It's time to be independent but I can't. Sob sob. :(

Ahhh FYP. FYDP. They are giving me more pimples, more wrinkles, a more haggard looking me. :((((((

NO.

I shall stay pretty and shall ignore FYP and FDYP. HAHAHAHA! *evil grin

*jumps back to bed.

22's in the crib yo!

2010-07-18T22:21:00.005+08:00

Less than an hour to go and I'll turn 22.

Blessed Birthday to me! :D

*sings birthday song to self. beams.

I may be 22, but I bet I don't look like one. Haha! Went to gym that day and the instructor was like 'you're only 15 kan girl?'. hah! :D

And oh, I thought I only attract guys, but looks like it I also attract pondans/mak nyahs (don't know what you call them in english). There's this mak nyah who came up to me during RWMF '10, cupped my face in his/her hands, and said 'you're so cute girl'. Bleh. Took me a full 10 seconds to realize that she was a he. Shrugs.

Anyways, I reached Penang on Friday, slept the whole day like a pig, and then feel wasted the whole day. Haha. On Saturday my parents brought me to Tao Japanese Buffet to celebrate my birthday. 2 days earlier but it doesn't matter. And I ate like there's no tomorrow. The food was super awesome, and it was only RM50++ per person!

I had succulent scallops, abalone, crab meat, sharks fin, bla bla. Too awesome I tell you. Sorry guys no pictures. My C drive is running low on space. I need my external! I enjoyed the awesome possum food and awesome family member's attention to the maximum. And now I have a big, big tummy. Grins. :D

*sashimi*

Then at night my besties brought me out. They came back all the way from Perlis, Nibong Tebal and Perak. Just to celebrate my birthday. So touch. *cry cry. Thanks girls. Love you girls so much :)

*besties*

And today my grandma and dad treated me to a yummy lunch in a nice restaurant! Cod fish + sweet sour fish + vege + pork belly + tofu + butter prawns. Om nom nom! Super fat now I tell you. :(

Tomorrow another friend is going to treat me lunch plus movie. Ahhh beautiful. And before I left, this is what I got.

Thank you. :) My first bday present ever before turning 22. :)

*cherishing the moments before I turn 22! omgggg.

Muahhh!

xoxo

farewell loves

My flight bound for Kuala Lumpur is scheduled to be at 6:50p.m. later in the evening. I am so gonna leave this place with a heavy heart. I finished my internship last Friday, after 32 weeks.

When I first got an offer from Johnson and Johnson, I was kinda thrilled. It's because my internship will be in KL, near to family and friends, civilization at least. And I might have a car. Then I got another offer from ASEAN Bintulu Fertilizer. Located in Bintulu. I was kinda thrilled too. To be away from home, somewhere I've never been, indeed I believe I could gain a lot from this offer. Nevertheless I am more interested into what ABF is doing that J&J. Setback : No car, far from family, rural place.

Made up my mind, accepted the offer from ABF. I dreaded my first few weeks here. This place has practically no shopping malls, movies shown in the cinema are super outdated (for instance, they are showing ice kacang puppy love now when I've already watched it a few months ago), no night life, no mamak, bla bla.

I attended New Life Fellowship near Tanjung Batu. Made friends, super cool friends like George, John, Audrey, Jean, Kwan, Alison, Eng Meng. All these are my hang out kaki. They brought me out for dinner, supper, yum cha sessions. Brought me to church, to the beach, to everywhere in Bintulu. Life was great then.

Then I started to have great friends from ABF also. They brought me out for lunch, dinner, supper, yum cha, badminton sessions, karaoke sessions, football sessions, movies, bla bla. I started to love this place, heck, not this place but the people here. They made this place uber fun.

I've just finished packing, and am bound to leave this place for good soon. 8 months in Bintulu, but the experiences and memories are priceless. I am going to leave this place with a heavy heart. Very heavy. I don't want to leave this place, but a good friend told me life has to move on. It's time to start packing and haul myself back to campus to complete my degree.

I can't deny that, another year to go and I'll be working with Petronas. Hopefully.

I love this place, mostly I love the people here. Thank you so much for everything God, for the people here who has been so kind and nice to me.

Farewell.

leaving on a jetplane

2010-07-05T09:30:00.002+08:00

It's week 32!

omggg time flies. sigh.

It's time to move on, leave this place for good, go back and get my degree. Graduate, and see where God places me for a permanent job. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get a job with Petronas, I don't have much expectations like my friends who aim to land their ass in high paying salary companies like SLB or bla bla.

As long as I get a job, then I'll be satisfied. (:

So yeah internship is coming to an end, I'll have to leave this place with a heavy heart. But I believe this week (my last week) will be so damn awesome I'll remember it forever.

Plans anyone? C'mon it's my last week in Bintulu LOL make it eventful!

Can't believe I slept at 10pm last Saturday. It's a SATURDAY NIGHT and I slept at 10pm. Sweet. :(

And I even missed the Germany Vs Argentina match. Lagi. Housemate hogging the tv, and I was practically rotting in my room.

Nevermind. This week shall be good :D

Rainforest this weekend! I'll be seeing my loves soon (:

xoxo.

Everyone's a princess once in a while

2010-06-30T10:04:00.008+08:00

A note from yours truly.

I've ~~never~~ ~~seldom~~ ~~never~~ ~~seldom~~ NEVER ever actually SS (syok sendiri) in my blog before. I seldom put up pictures of myself, and obviously no self praise!

So let me do this just once. Once. Please? Muahh~ :)

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

I'm not born with perfect features. Heck I'll be honest with you. I have small eyes with deformed double eyelids (oh yes my double eyelids are only half!), a flat chinesy nose, pointy ears, short eyebrows and eyelashes, a round face and small lips. And not forgetting my epic histogram/bugsy/gappy teeth.

The only thing I love is my high cheekbones. Okayy cut it some slack. All these features assembled, I don't look that horrible actually. They are just fine, and I thank God I have those though. But one thing, it's nothing to shout about. Yes it's very true.

I ain't that type of girl who guys will damn give a second look, nor drool at the very first sight. Plus the fact that I am short and chubby, hah! Forget about getting attention.

I don't look like this.

Nor this.

Nor even this. Damn. Haha.

And before you condemn me, wait. I thank God for who I am and I won't ask for more. Obviously no plastic surgery, and I love myself. If you can't live with my looks, then I'm truly sorry for that's who I am.

But my main point is : I'm just an average looking girl. :) I don't get many compliments, second looks, praises. But I know I am pretty to my loved ones! *shy shy For they love me for who I am. :)

Okay so here comes the SS part. Just please don't gag after reading this post. If you love me, you'll be truly happy for me too isn't it? Haha.

So on monday night, ABF (my current internship company) held its' annual Gawai Festival Dinner. They don't serve tuak :( but they make it up with free food which is kinda kinda not bad.

I donned on a formal white top, a mini skirt (not so mini afterall), sneakers and carried a handbag. Simple, casual, yet presentable. :)

Wait! You can still exit if you don't want to read further. Save you the gagging period jak. Haha.

Anyways, when #1 saw me, he was like "Damn you are quite hot tonight." I was like huh? are you kidding me. It was just super simple and I didn't put any make up on (i never do) and I had my nerdy glasses on as well. LOL. #1 said "You should wear contacts instead". LOL By the end of the night, he called me sexy. Haha LOL. Blushing all over but luckily it was at night. Save me the embarrassment juak! :)

Having goosebumps all over now? LOL okayy I am so not used to this. Self praise in front of so many readers. *shy

Here comes #2. He pointed to my shirt, and he gave me the thumbs up. :)

#3, a close friend whom I always joke with said "You looked great tonight".

I then approached #4 to talk to him, his back was facing me, and when he turned, the first words that came out from his mouth was "Wow". Oh :)

#5 sat on a chair, and when I passed by, he looked up and down, from head to toe godonlyknows how many times. And my friend even caught him staring at my butt. Pfffttt. Talking about wolves. LOL

And the best has yet to come!

Finally, when the dinner ended, #6 came, whispered into my ear "You look hot and pretty tonight" and flashed me with his best charming smile ever. I pretended I didn't hear (LOL) and I went huh?. He repeated himself and I went what? (LOL) and he said it again. 3 times was more than enough. I was blushing like a tomato at that spot.

I told #6 quite a number also said I look good tonight, and he whispered again "You are pretty to me everyday" and he smiled again. HAHA!

So now readers, don't potong my steam by telling me this and that, let me have this moment etched in my memory forever. I don't get praises and compliments this often so let me live in my lala land for a moment :D

I went home, slept, and I bet I was smiling when I was deeply asleep.

Ahh it feels so great to get some attention once in a while. Haha.

xoxo!

*skips away with a huge grin plastered on the face

Holla I am back!

2010-06-26T15:01:00.005+08:00

It has been a while, I know.

I'm truly sorry for the lack of updates. I'm just basically plain lazy, and at times encountering writer's block.

Anyways, lets make this quick and fast.

I spent my Gawai break in Singapore. I've got my Canon 550D. Much love. :) But I kinda regretted for not purchasing a BB or Iphone 3gs when I was there. :( Went to Universal Studios Singapore, and it was awesome! Had pictures taken with King Julian, the Madagascar penguins, Charlie Chaplin, Frank and some unknown characters. Haha. First time into a casino as well, didn't gamble, but saw this old lady winning S$16k. :)

*when I first got my baby. with cousin-ashley, and kakak*

*a nearly one month old baby. :) don't mind the background!*

Back to Bintulu after that. Continued internship, and now it's week 31 already this coming Monday. Presentation's on Thursday, pretty fast, then another week, then intern's done. I'm surely going to leave this place with mixed feelings. Place is boring but people are just awesome. Hence, the mixed feelings :)

Two more weeks and heck, I'm gonna enjoy every single bit of internship. :)

Watched Robin Hood yesterday and it was kinda good. Love it actually. And I want to watch Nightmare on Elm Street! Been wanting to watch that since I was in Singapore, but I was too stingy to fork out S$10 (RM25) for a movie. So not worth it. Bleh.

So yeah that's more or less about what's happening here. Life's great and God has been awesome to me. Thanks for all the prayers if you've been praying for me all these while!

xoxo!

It's so rewarding to do my internship here in Sarawak. 10 days of break, courtesy of the Gawai Celebration, Wesak Day, Agong's Birthday, which started yesterday, till the 6th of June. :)

Finally a good resting time for me. I bought my tickets to Singapore way back in February. I was very excited about the trip, for I finally will be getting hold of my dslr. :)

Sometime in March/April/May, I kinda regretted for buying those tickets, for I've gotten used to Bintulu, and have actually fallen in love with the place here. With the people here though there's nothing much to do.

But I'm still very elated with the fact that I'll be leaving for Singapore later at 6:50p.m., my delayed flight to KL. One night in LCCT. And then earliest flight to Singapore at 6a.m. on Sunday. :)

So,

Goodbye Malaysia. Hello Singapore.

Goodbye Ringgit. Hello Dollars.

Goodbye Park City. Hello Orchard.

Heck.

Hello AUNT, UNCLE, COUSIES.

Hello WII.

Hello SINGAPORE MEGA SALES.

Hello CANON 550D with 18-135mm kit lens/NIKON D90.

Hello CHARLES CALVIN TING AND KUEH JING ZHI.

Hello HARD ROCK HOTEL SINGAPORE and THE NEW CASINO.

omgggg loves! :)

goodbye y'all. want anything from singapore? fb me then. :)

till then.

xoxo.

muahh!

farewell jasmitt, my beloved brother

2010-05-27T19:38:00.008+08:00

Beloved Macha,

This post is dedicated to you.

I started getting to know you better like after 1st year? I don't know but eventually we got closer and closer as the years go by. I can't agree on the fact that our attitude and thinking is 99% similar, but somehow we just got along so well.

Always the joker in the class, the one making fun of lecturers, rebelling against the lecturers, cursing pak guards and mak guards for summoning you for no apparent reasons, sneaking in mars bars and food in irc, wearing torn jeans. Ahhhhh this is just so you meat.

The times we shared during study week, during lecturers, in tronoh having dinner, our cheme gang unofficial photoshoot. Those times my bro. Those times.

Yesterday was your birthday. You turned 23. And today, you left us all hanging in confusion. Why so soon? Why so young?

And till now, I still cannot accept your loss. Is this some sick joke? Is this some prank? Tell me. Shake me. Wake me up.

I still remembered we chatted up to 1:07 a.m. early in the morning today in skype. You asked why am I still awake? I said I was about to sleep soon. And at 2:30 a.m you pm-ed me again saying 'still online? happy. can't sleep?' those were the last words you said to me.

And this morning I saw you online in gtalk and skype, but I did not pm you for the fear I might interrupt your work. After work, I got back, had dinner at 5:30p.m., and that news had to come. It just had to. I received a call from Herman, saying you were gone.

I was speechless for 10 seconds, and I shouted over the phone thinking it was a prank. But heck no it wasn't. The second call came from Huat. And I knew something was wrong. Very wrong, and Amy confirmed it.

Bro. Why? I still remembered I promised to go clubbing with you, which I ended up rejecting the last moment. I still remembered the car accident we both were in, together with Herman and Qing. How you drove so fast, negotiated the cornering so well just to have a slow car blocking your way after the cornering. And how we crashed into the road divider, and how we went to the police station to sort out the mess.

If given a chance, I'd rewind those times. And all of us would have you.

Blogging this at 8:14p.m., and ahhh you are still signed in into your gtalk. Your current status "Eighty per cent of Malaysians are not “designed” for running due to a variety of conditions such as bone structure, says Malaysian Physiotherapy Association (MPA)". Heck I may not understand and I don't give a damn about this, but this is your last status in gtalk.

Now, I'm browsing through your photos in facebook. Next, photos of you in my own personal collection. The front page on my FB is the wish from Jing Zhi on your birthday, with you replying 'tq bro..al the best 4 ur marathon man!!'. Every tab on Chrome that I open for FB, that's what I see. And I don't want to refresh it, I just want to stare at it as long as possible.

I still can't accept this. No I still can't.

Oh. It was the cardiac arrest that took you away no? Still unclear of what happened, but I don't give a damn anymore. Why give a damn when you are no longer here?

Jasmitt, what about our band for Euphonious? During our final year, final sem. You started the idea. And you told me you wanted to play the drums. I said no, cause I want to play that. And I asked you to go and play the acoustic, electric guitar or bass. You humbly asked me to teach you how to play drums though I am just a newbie myself. Now, I'd give everything in the world for you to come back, and be the drummer for our band called 'The Shorts'. I'd give up drumming in eupho, just for you. If we ever got into one.

Why not wait? Why not wait till I get my dslr and have our official cheme gang photoshoot? Why not wait? The newly opened Burger King in Ipoh is waiting for us, for us retards. Do come back please :((((

Sorry for all that I've done, I've said that hurt you. I know you'll always forgive me. I know you will.

These tears that I shed. They are for you. May you walk proudly into the gates of heaven, may you be amongst the angels now. A sweet and kind soul you are, you have already left your legacy.

RIP Jasmitt Bhullar.

Love you. xoxo.

*classic. us*

What Hurts The Most

2010-05-26T09:45:00.002+08:00

Ahhh things have not been going on well lately. There will always be ups and downs in life huh? At one moment, life seems too good. But the next second, everything comes tumbling down.

But I'm glad I've gotten over it. Thanks to those who hear me out, and advised me. My BFFs, and obviously, God.

To my BFFs out there, thanks for everything. You guys mean the world to me. I may not be the best-est friend to you, when it seems that I may not appreciate you that much, but deep down in me, I cherish you people like how I cherish my life. Two of my BFFs are here with me, the rest, back in hometown or uni. Wherever you guys are, my prayers will always be with you, and may God bless you abundantly.

It's always better shed those tears out then rather, holding everything in your heart. I've not cried like that since ages, but I am thankful it's over now. Pre-adulthood problems eh? :)

This song. Ahhh this song. What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house

That don't bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh....

There are times, things are best left unspoken. But heck, don't regret it later on. Still at times you don't have the courage to do so.

Exactly like the lyrics above.

'What hurts the most, was being so close, and having so much to say, and watching you walk away'

A breather

2010-05-13T10:13:00.009+08:00

yay finally I have this weekend free! I've been away for 3 consecutive weeks. Firstly to Kuching, KK and then Sibu. Was actually planning to go Miri this weekend for the Miri International Jazz Festival (oh i aint a big fan of jazz actually) but with the increment of bus fares and all the troubles and all, ahhh guess it's better that I forgo it.

So yeah this weekend will be a sleeping weekend. I'll be sleeping my ass off. I'm sleep deprived lately, and I've just spotted a pimple on my face. Though it's a tiny one and I seldom get pimples, so this means I'm really sleep deprived. :(((((

Anyways, life's good here in Bintulu. Getting rounder and rounder I supposed. Though my weight goes down everytime I skip a meal. Hmmmm. I amaze myself at times though, at the fact that I love to eat and sleep so much. This is really amusing. I can eat double portions of every thing now, and I still feel hungry after my meal. Is something wrong? *scratches head

I had this huge plate of Kampua Mee in Sibu, a portion that is deemed fit for those who work exceptionally hard (aka untuk orang buruh), I finished it, and I still feel hungry afterwards, and I craved for Secret Recipe next. Great. Too great. :(

As I am typing this, I'ma feeling kinda hungry already. One more hour to lunch! yay!

On a side note, I've watched Ice Kacang Puppy Love in KK, Iron Man 2 in Bintulu, and Ip Man 2 in Sibu. Haha. And guess what? Iron Man 2 sucks. To your face!

Like seriously la. That guy is so damn arrogant, quoting Phil "He should be kicking ass. Not screwing down own ass". I kinda dislike that movie, I was watching it and at times I was already at the brink of sleeping, so I had to move around restlessly, disturbing others. Haha. I just don't like it. Period.

Ice Kacang Puppy Love was awesome. For a Malaysian made movie. It wasn't something that I've expected. Sorry to say but my expectations on Malaysian made movies isn't that high, but Ah Niu proved me wrong. So wrong. So hilarious, and I love it. Too bad they don't have it in Bintulu now, else I might be watching it for the second time.

Ip Man 2. Need I say more? I seriously think it's the best movie for this year. Mark my words. Donnie Yen is so awesome. So awesome for a 40 year old guy. And he's wife is like 26? Bleh. His wing chun skills. I'm no expert of wing chun but his moves, are real. Based on research. As in the original wing chun moves. This movie made me feel like picking up wing chun when I get back to Peninsular. :D Gonna get Ip Man 1 from a friend, gonna watch it, and then Ip Man 2 again in the cinemas! :D

Next in the waiting list : Kick Ass. I heard it's good. It's hilariously funny. :)

omggggg I can't wait for the end of the month! DSLR and Singapore! *dances around joyfully

xoxo loves!

KK done. Sibu again hopefully!

2010-05-07T12:36:00.010+08:00

Hye youu! *waves

I've just got back from KK. Well to be exact I got back on Monday. :) Tired to the max I actually spent Tuesday night and Thursday night sleeping my ass off to replace the sleep that I've lost.

So yeah I'm ten shades darker now. Haha!

Overall KK was awesome. :) Just too bad there are no nice food there. The only nice food I've tried is the Pan Mee at Gaya Street. RM5.50 per bowl. Expensive to the max, very little noodles :( But the soup was seriously nice. But still, the pan mee in Penang is the best. :)

Seafood was so so only. Expensive. Crab + vege + prawns + rice = RM90. Haha.

Let me recap what I did in KK. Went there with Mildred and Sanny.

Day 1 : Touched down at around 4 something, headed to the hotel, washed up, walked to Warisan Square, went over to 1Borneo to meet up with Hui Ting for dinner. Edgar (KK host) picked us up later and we went to his working colleague's house for supper.

*sanny, renae, mildred*

Day 2 : Kundasang for the nice fresh air + photoshoot, Ranau, Poring hot springs. Visited the Kundasang Memorial Park, had photoshoot session there, headed to Ranau for lunch, and lastly Poring for the Canopy Walk and hot springs. Had seafood for dinner.

*with Azlan and Edgar, having McD for breakfast before hitting Kundasang*

*photoshoot. see the dslr Edgar's holding? :) have yet to get the pictures from him*

Day 3 : Went over to Jesselton Point to board the speed boat over to the islands. My happiest day ever! Went to Mamutik Island, Manukan Island, Sapi Island. Manukan is overly crowded, nothing to see during snorkelling. Boring. Mamutik has nice, quiet beaches. Nice corals to see, loads of fishes. Sapi is quite nice too. :)

*at Manukan, look at the crystal clear water behind*

Came back burnt like a cooked crab. Till now the skin is still peeling, and my back is mad itchy. But I still love the islands, and nothing can stop me from going to the beaches. :D I still have Nyalau Beach in my list of next destinations.

*the aftermath. sunburnt*

Day 4 : Went shopping in Suria Sabah, a newly opened yet huge mall. Bought a pair of formals from Voir, a simple top plus high waisted skirt. :D Packed and left for KK at around 3pm. :(

Busted RM650 in total. :( Broke!

So now I'm back in Bintulu, trying to think what should I do this weekend. Planning to go Brunei but perhaps next week.

So this week? Sibu hopefully. :D Kampua, Kom Piang with meat, Ding Bian Hu. Cheap, good food. Yums! *crosses fingers that friend does not ffk last minute. bleh.

xoxo!

p/s : Can't wait to get my dslr end of this month! :D I've waited long enough! haha.

Kota kinabalu next

2010-04-29T22:12:00.004+08:00

I just got back from Kuching, on Monday.

Did not get my well gotten rest on Tuesday, Wednesday nor Thursday. Went out nearly every night.

And now, I'll be leaving for KK on Friday. Happy much :D

It was kinda a last minute plan. Suddenly having the urge to visit KK and also Labuan, but Labuan is kinda out of the question cause it's not that cheap compared to KK, much further, and no tour guide. :(

Anyways, will keep you guys posted about my KK trip when I get back next Monday. I foresee shopping, island hopping, beach :D, and loads of food. :) Flight from Miri tomorrow at 2pm, will be leaving for Miri from Bintulu at 7am. Have yet to pack, wish me a safe journey!

Okay back to my Kuching trip.

I really had a lot, a lot of fun. It was a sinful trip, loads of food and also shopping. What a therapy to escape from work.

When I say loads of food, I really mean it. And guess what? I can down every single thing and still feel hungry. Great. Kom piang with meat, Kolo mee, Sarawak laksa, Kueh Chap, Beijing Duck etc. :D

Weighed myself yesterday, and guess what, since I came here, I'm 4 kgs heavier. Haha. Though it may not appear so physically, but I do have a big tummy now. pfffttt :(

Went to 6 malls in total, The Spring, Tun Jugah, Sarawak Plaza, Old Parkson, The Hills, Hock Lee Centre. And I still have Crowne Plaza, Boulevard to cover. Planning to go Kuching again next month, but it's kinda impossible at the moment. :(

There were sales, plenty of sales. Especially Lea Sports Centre, where everything is half priced.

Total damage done : RM300 just for shopping alone.

And oh, my flight to KK is around RM300 also. So RM600 gone is just like 4 days? I'm terribly broke now. Don't know how to survive in KK. :(

Oh that's me with double portion of Cookies and Cream ice cream. Jealous much? That's a very recent picture of me. Do I look like I've gained weight? :(

Had not been going for my Badminton session lately. No jungle trekking. No jogging. :(

Ahhh packing time!

Toodles love! xoxo.

Kuching over the weekend

2010-04-23T12:21:00.004+08:00

I've been to this place once. 3 years ago. During my semester break.

And now, I'm going there again. 3 years later. During my internship period.

And I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to go Kuching again in a month's time. :D And I'll be there for Rainforest Festival too. Looks like I love Kuching so much eh.

Heck yes intern's the best time to travel. Been in Sarawak since December and I've already travelled to Miri and Sibu. Kuching tonight, till monday. :) So basically I've covered all of the major districts in Sarawak. eg Kuching, Sibu, Miri, Bintulu.

Sarikei, Bintagor, Kapit, bla bla. That if I can find time. Haha. I don't really like Miri, don't know why. But I love Sibu and Kuching. :D Bintulu? Love it cause I have great friends here :)

Guess I'll just only be eating non stop in Kuching. And perhaps some light shopping at The Spring. Saving money for my KK trip. Better stuffs to shop over there I heard.

Next mission : Kota Kinabalu.

Ahhh my every weekend is so packed. So, so happy. But kinda sad too. Cause I'll be leaving this place soon, and internship is coming to an end. :( Just started to enjoy myself in this small town. Many may say Bintulu is boring, well I have to agree though, but it's the company that matters. I have good friends who bring me out every weekend, so heck it ain't that boring right? :D

Can't wait to fly to Kuching later! Yay yay yay!

Bye loves!

xoxo.

no strings attached

2010-04-12T13:52:00.004+08:00

Wow this week's title stumped me. No strings attached?

The first thing that came to my mind is not committed in any boy girl relationship. No relationship, no partner, no commitment. So no strings attached.

Yeah there are many of my friends who do not want to have a partner cause they are just simply scared to commit their time and all to the other half.

Okay that aside.

I downloaded the picture for this week's paid post, and this is what I saw.

Oh then I finally understood. It's all about wireless connection! Nowadays technology is so super advance that you can just have a plug and play broadband and access to the net wherever you are.

Plug and play devices are something like the one above, it's a USB device where you can just plug it into your pc/laptop and enjoy the internet connection provided by the service provider.

I'm currently using Celcom Broadband, which is rumored to offer the best broadband connection in Sarawak itself. Ask me not I don't know how true that statement is. I did not manage to get my hands on Maxis Broadband, Digi Broadband and P1 Wimax here though.

But definitely I can tell you I will stop using Celcom Broadband when I am back in the peninsular. Why so? Apparently the connection is so bad that it stalls up and your download speed is prolly 0 kb. Ain't sure how true is this but if it's real, I'll switch over to Digi and P1 Wimax.

Indeed I've got much good feedback on how efficient P1 Wimax is over there in the Peninsular. So may be it's a good time to give it a try when I get back. I foresee I'll be needing broadband for my final year project (FYP) and also for my final year design project (FYDP). :)

Ending this post with a bang. Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS. :)

p/s : Blogging this from office, I'll be dead meat if my supervisor caught me doing this.

beach babe

2010-04-11T20:48:00.006+08:00

I think, I am one shade darker. And I'm heck loving it.

I am an outdoor person, and my personal favourite is definitely the beach. Can't put these feelings into words, but the beach brings out the best in me.

The salty taste of the sea water, coupled with the white soft sand and the smell of the sea water, ah pure bliss I'd say. Water makes me happy. Yes, even the rain makes me happy. Be it a heavy one, or just mere drizzles, I'm the happiest girl alive when it rains. Yet, the rain can also bring out the melancholic side of me.

Same goes to the beach.

I've been wanting to go to the beach like ages ago, and the beach at Tanjung Batu is a huge let down. It's dirty, and you can actually see layers of oil on top of the water.

And yesterday, my good friends brought me here.

When I first laid my eyes upon the beach, I nearly went hysterical. See how beautiful the water is! Took those pictures with my Sony T-10 and do try to imagine if I had my dslr with me. My heart was practically beating at an alarming rate, but had to subdue it as we planned to jungle trek first before hitting the beach due to the hot weather.

Trekked from around 10am to prolly 1pm. Around 3km plus minus. Was drenched in sweat to the max after trekking. Good workout yo!

*resting after the first round*

Oh ya. Saw the small scratch on my left knee? That's cause I practically climbed over the house gate and jumped down and landed on my knee. Great. And the gate was like freaking high up. My friend said I was nuts. But what else can I do? LOL. I did not have the gate key with me and I didn't want to stay out there till someone comes home.

Okay back to the topic. Sorry I side tracked. And guess what I saw?

Yup. People fishing. Fisherman fishing. But heck. It's not that that attracted me. It's the Selangor flag! LOL. fyi, I'm in Bintulu Sarawak. And I go crazy whenever I see a Penang car here in Swak.

After that we went for lunch. Chit chatted till roughly 3pm and then it's to the beach! God was being so awesome that day that when we went to the beach, the weather turned from blazing hot to windy and cloudy. :D

To the beach!

*crystal clear*

*this place is seriously a good place to take photos*

*friend 1*

Can't help it but sorry, I can't reveal friend 2's identity, lest I'll be killed in ABF (at work) tomorrow. Was thrown into the sea by a big bully, and after that it was all history. Waves weren't that huge, but was good enough.

Noticed I still haven't told you where I went? Try guessing. Not many places in Bintulu has good beaches. :D

I promised self, that I'll return to this place, conquer the furthest jungle trekking route (9km) and bring along my dslr to snap breathtaking pictures. :)

And oh, I went to Sibu last week. Was supposed to blog about it but I had no time. The drafted post is still in my drafts, but I think I am kinda lazy to continue it. But anyway, the Sibu trip was awesome.

Did not imagine it to be so well developed. Food was awesome! The original kampua mee was awesomely awesome, and it was only RM2. Where can you find cheap and good food nowadays? And the kom piang with meat (pork) filling, heavenly. I think I gained a pound or two, so it's time to shed them now. :)

Been kinda active lately. Went for jungle trekking, badminton, jogging. Kinda proud of myself. Haha.

Alright and very sorry for the very late updates readers!

xoxo.

p/s : Kuching in two weeks time :D Happy much!

my favourite sport

2010-04-05T19:41:00.009+08:00

This week's title says : My Favourite Sport.

Yes I'm a sports junkie. Okay I don't go for extreme sports, but my passion for sports is always burning.

I play whatever sports that you can ever mention. Aight that's a little exaggerating. But still, I'll try it anyway.

I do play a bit of this and that, like Badminton, Ping Pong, Tennis, Basketball, etc. But the two sports that I really put all my effort in is Shooting and Squash.

Why that two?

This is because I took up squash seriously when I was Standard 5, and played my way through till I think Form 3. I wasn't my state's best player, but heck, I've won medals for Penang and I'm proud of it. Stopped when I was prolly 15 years old, couldn't rise up against the newcomers. Getting kinda unfit already and slower. So the racquets aside, though I still normally play with friends from time to time. And I can proudly tell you I can trash guys. HAHA!

So many years of squash-ing and I actually regretted to the max for not having a picture of me in action. Oh well.

*this is squash, for those of you who do not know*

Then after that it was shooting. Picked it up when a friend of mine introduced it to me. Initially wanted learn for fun, heck yes who doesn't want to hold a gun and shoot it all around? Started off with the 10m Air Pistol, where I used small, small bullet pellets and insert them into my compressed air air pistol, and start firing away.

*me with my 10m Air Pistol*

*with the 10m Air Rifle*

Next it was the 25m Sports Pistol, this is where I used the real bullets, yes those that can blow your head off, load them into my beautiful and sleek sports pistol, and fire the targets. And no, I don't have a picture of me and my beautiful red Sports Pistol. :( Sigh.

My favourite sport? I think I'll go with shooting. Why? It's so fun and it has the adrenaline rush that makes you go gaga over it the moment you get hold of the pistol and fire like nobody's business. Represented the state in Sukma 2006, my biggest achievement ever in the sports arena, but sadly, I didn't win due to competition jitters. But still, the experience and memories are the best.

I still love squash, yes I do, and I love it even more when I trash people. LOL. I can no longer shoot now, my gun license has already expired eons ago.

Anyway, I hope I'll get the RM20, and yes, Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS.

no sweat!

2010-03-22T20:46:00.004+08:00

This week's topic is no sweat!

Fuh when I saw the topic, I had difficulty in writing it. What should I write about? Sweat as in the sweat you always produce on a hot sunny day? Or no sweat just simply means the task/obstacle is a tiny beanie to you?

Fear not earthlings!

This week's adv is supported by Adidas Action 3, so what does it tell you?

Aight let me give you a hint.

Still don't get it?

Man it simply means that with Adidas Action 3, you pass every single day without any strong BO, which makes you comfortable and confident, which then makes every single thing tiny beanie!

BO-less day = feeling fresh and confident = task is easy as ever = no sweat!

Got me now? :)

Easy as ABC. Go on to your nearest store, grab a bottle, head over to the counter, and make full use of it! I've got a good friend using Adidas Action 3's Deodorants, and I bet he has loads to say about it!

Adidas is one of the main sponsors, so three cheers for the man! The picture above only shows Adidas Action 3 Fresh, but there are many, many choices to choose from. Pick the smell that suits your character most, and you are good on the go!

A hint for you from me. For those of you who are suffering from BO, fret not. It ain't your fault. I bet you must have gotten it from your ancestors. Isn't it? Okay I don't know. So just apply some deodorant la. What's so hard than being a stinky stick everywhere you go? Bleh.

I ma gonna stop ranting. So the lesson for today, Adidas Action 3 is your best friend for some of you guys out there! :D

And oh! Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS. Auditions are now open! Check it out at www.projectalpha.com.my/auditions

blessed yo!

2010-03-21T20:06:00.008+08:00

10 more days till the end of this month.

And it's April already. Kinda fast ain't it? Less than 4 more months of internship only. :(

This month has been a blessed month. Seriously. Oh I so love this month.

It started off with ABF CNY Dinner at KKB. Didn't eat much that night though, but i seriously enjoyed myself to the max.

Next was free lunch on Friday, Klang Bak Kut Teh in Medan. Sponsored (or should i say treated) by Mr R. Oh oh such a gentlemen. Treated us 4 trainees. Haiya nvm la process technologist earn a lot eh? :D Verdict : So-so I can find better ones. But it actually tasted good the first sip cause I hadn't had BKT in ages.

That night hung out with the church mates to see Kuan off. He's leaving Bintulu for good, going back to Hong Kong now.

Followed by free dinner 4 days later at Sushi King at Parkcity Mall. Once again treated by Mr C, such gentlemen LOL. Verdict : Sushi king so no comments. You know. Lepak at Summer Tea later on, playing the oh very famous Jenga.

Up next, ABF CNY Appreciation Dinner for the committees. 6 dishes per table, 4 tables max. ABF uncles and aunties were there, and us, the young people. Verdict : Was hungry to the max before dinner but food was bleh i lost all my appetite. pffftt. They had karaoke session later on, and Mr C and Mr R entertained us to the max!

Oh, conclusion, uncles can partayyy wilder than us young people do. I can't believe it.

And a surprised breakfast this morning before service. Cheese gratin, sunny side up, baked beans courtesy of Uncle Denny and wife. Om nom nom! Verdict : Mind blasting. Period.

Dinner for today. Fried rice with ayam paprik specially cooked with love by Zahirah. Verdict : Rice was so-so but chicken is real good. Okay dah boleh kahwin ni. :D

Sheesh my pics took ages to load. arggghh.

Oh and I had a nice pedicure session a few weeks ago. Painted me toes midnight crimson blue with white checkered boxes. Nice :) Am into checkered stuffs right now, even my new checkered Nike bag is flaming orange red. Love!

Time to hit the bed! Working tomorrow. Night world. Muah muahh!

xoxo.

p/s : currently addicted to two is better than one. jason, does that mean two boyfriends are better than one? LOL

My Favourite Surfing Spot

2010-03-16T09:49:00.004+08:00

Holla people.

Honestly, if my boss sees this post, I'll be fired. LOL.

My favourite surfing spot?

Obviously in my room, and also at work. Haha.

I reach office around 7.40a.m every single day. And from 7.40am to prolly 9am is the time for me to chill. That means I surf. From work. Yes I know you will be shaking your head in disbelieve but cut me some slack.

I blogwalk at that time, check my mails. Chat at times LOL. There are times when I have loads of walk so I don't surf from work. But whenever I am free and the line is exceptionally good, I'll be lost in my fantasy internet world with my dearest laptop and broadband. Ah bliss.

Back from work at around 5pm, I'll usually take 40 winks, else once again it's surfing time. Bloghop again, mails (who knows i might have an important one that was sent later after i check the first time), youtubing for drum covers, etc.

And this time my surfing spot will be in room. It ain't cosy, but I've got a solid wall to lean on, and my pail propped up as my so-called table. LOL.

I actually prefer to surf at home (of course who doesnt) because I can't risk myself being caught by my boss while happily chatting over skype or gtalk.

Favourite surfing spot : Room plus office LOL.

This paid advertorial, is proudly sponsored by P1 Wimax. I'm currently using Celcom BB as I am in Swak but considering to change to P1 Wimax once I get back to campus. Heard Celcom's signal ain't that strong over there as compared here in Swak.

And once again, Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS! :)

a day well spent

2010-03-14T22:18:00.004+08:00

I thought Sunday is just gonna be like the rest of my past Sundays. Right back from church, Sunday nap, dinner, and dozing off early for work tomorrow.

But today, is completely different. :)

Woke up, got ready and went church. After that, lunch with them at Bintulu Kopitiam. Food so-so, but company was awesome! Seriously awesome.

Got back at 2:30pm, rest for a while, headed to beach at 4:30pm. I love the beach. :D

Had a nice stroll with nice people to chat with. It was supposed to be a youth thing, but those who turned up are actually working adults, the youngest being 20. LOL. Many thanks to Jean, George, John, Davies, Samson, Peter for making my evening a blast.

Got back at 7:00pm. Supposed to have dinner at Sushi King but was called off the last minute. T_________T Don't let me see you around ABF else I'll chase you around in coveralls and safety boots. LOL.

But it was made up by a church member's bday. Headed over for some nice food. :) See this.

That's a roasted baby pig with lemongrass and other herbs (don't know whether can you make that out, sorry for the lousy cam). Verdict : Superb to the max! I ain't a huge fan of pork but this dish made me go for second round. Yums. (it actually looks disgusting though lol)

After the bday party, we working adults (ahem i sound so old) headed for a drink at Reggae's Grill. Nice, cosy place to chill and relax. Had fun talking crap, and after an hour, we called it a night.

*samson (civil engineer), kuan (pilot), me (chemical engineer of course, ahem),
john (mechanical engineer)*

So here I am, back home, typing this, and off to bed soon. Yawns. I'm tired.

p/s : I think intern's way too fast. It's the beginning of week 16 tomorrow. God, make time tick slower please? I'm starting to enjoy life here.

I Just Love Good Smelling People

2010-03-08T19:35:00.003+08:00

Aha. Who doesn't?

Do you prefer to stand beside a person with strong BO in a cramped train, or rather, standing beside a person without any BO/sweat smell/whatever smell, or best of all, standing right beside a person who smells so good like he/she just got out from the showers and applied a whole bottle of DKNY's green apple all over?

Mmmm. I'd prefer the third option. Second option last resort. But hey, you can never run away from bad smelling people (omgg sounds so bad).

Imagine you, taking out your lunch paperbag, stomach rumbling like mad, and someone, swooshes pass by you, with BO as strong as _________ (fill it in yourself). I bet you'll just drop the paperbag and head back to work. Appetite's all gone.

It's like so bad huh. LOL. But fret not those of you with the AHEM SMELL. Your hero is here! Introducing :

Aha! Adidas's Action 3 Deodorant. Grab a bottle from your local stores and feel the confidence back in yourself again! :D Isn't that just so great?

Never tried personally, but I've heard feedbacks from people saying you'll feel fresh and the freshness stays! Not only that, it gives you a nice sweet scent (okay depending on whether you choose fresh, sensitive, pro level, control or intensive) that lasts all day!

Here's the solution for you guys out there!

ABF CNY Dinner

2010-03-06T21:44:00.004+08:00

ABF CNY Dinner was yesterday. One word : Awesome :)

Though I didn't exactly get to eat properly, but still, I bet all 8 trainees from UTP had a blast. Whats more? We got a RM3 ang pau each from the MD itself. LOL.

Color code : Red

I always have a big headache when it comes to having to wear RED for any cny gathering. Previously it was the batch dinner. Now the abf cny dinner.

Not gonna elaborate much. It was just pure awesome.

*5 out of the 8; and no, he isn't my boy. he's got a gf. right? LOL*

*some lion dance thingy; superb*

*us + roy*

Did not really take pics, busy running here and there. Besides, I think my cam sucks eggs. Argh the pic quality. :( So mad sad can.

Super nice to mingle with the ABF permanent staffs and make new friends. :)

5 more months only. Good, or bad?

Best bits of Project Alpha Season 1

2010-03-01T21:08:00.004+08:00

I looked at the clock, it showed 9pm. Time for bed I guess. But I happened to stumble upon Nuffnang's website with their latest post ever, Projectalpha.com.my is Live (and kicking!).

Clicked it, and it says, first 100 entries from bloggers who blogged about Project Alpha Season 1 get RM20 credited into their account. I was thinking 'why not?'. I was aiming for RM150 before I cash out in Aug. So that RM20 will do me good!

Frankly speaking, I've never followed Project Alpha 1 entirely. Okay I do watch occasionally, but never ever complete the entire season.

Who was featured in season 1? You've Sixth Seal, Redmummy, Beautiful Nara, Fourfeetnine, Kennysia, Nicolekiss and Budiey.

Sixth seal : Read his blog like once? Haha.
Redmummy : Heard of, never read. Sorry!
Beautiful Nara : Just like the above.
Fourfeetnine : One of my favourites! A princess who always go wtf.
Kennysia : Been following him since like 5 years ago? Whole family's a big fan.
Nicolekiss : Read occasionally :)
Budiey : Really sorry dude, but never heard of you before. Thousand apologies!

They basically got interviewed live on air (Hitz.fm), worked out in the gym, and much more! Catch the vids on youtube.

Best bits of season 1 *drum rolls (not in order)

#1. Fourfeetnine hits the gym!
Funny like what can. Haha! Especially when Jojo's trying to teach her yoga poses, and she keeps on failing (falling perhaps). And SHOPPING is the only thing embedded on her mind. Check it out.
Click to view :fourfeetnine to the gym

#2. Redmummy's red house!
Like seriously. Her whole house is red, which potrays her love for RED. See the shoe WARDROBE that she owns (0:32-0:34). The amount of high heels! Faints. She blogs 8 entries per day (the last time), and 4-5 entries now. Man, I don't even update that frequent. A boring vid may be, but she gives important tips to bloggers out there! 7k per month. Woots!
Click to view :redmummy's red house

#3. Nicolekiss to the zoo!
Nicole : A hardcore traveller. Travels a lot she has, this vid brings her on a journey to the zoo! An informative tour I'd say! I always wish I could travel around just like her. :)
Click to view :nicolekiss to the zoo

#4. Kennysia talks about his love life!
A love guru he is. No, he has dated on two girls before! Oh, ROFL at his blogging tips. LOL
Click to view:kennysia talks about his love life

#5. Beautiful Nara's a dude!
Yeah the name may seem catchy, but he really is a dude. And oh, he actually hates his full time job now. Or is it part time? Oh. This vid introduces us to abang nara. LOL.
Click to view :beautiful nara's a dude

#6. Sixth Seal's tattoo!
I've always wanted to get a nice tat, but I don't think I'll ever have the guts to ink myself, let alone destroy my skin the horrible way. Oops sorry tat lovers! I eat back my words. HuaiBin's a DA previously, but he made full use of his second chance!

#7. Budiey's super exclusive talk!

Phew. 2 hours straight. I sure hope I'll get what I deserved! Project Alpha Season 2 swinging by soon! When can I ever be in one? *in my dreams *snicker

The clock is tickin',

and yer know it.

Note to readers : Aight the post below is based solely on my personal opinions, and if ya aint diggin it, see that red X up there? Click it :)

Okay fine I think I am old now. As in I am no longer in my teenage years (yes in fact I've left that generation years ago). Life around me ain't the same no more!

#1.
When I meet up with my hommies, our conversation changes from "hye do you know A is seeing B yatta-yatta-yatta" to "hye A is getting engaged/married to B like this coming July!". And Mr A and Ms B are your good friends!

Reality Check : Yes the people whom are getting engaged/married soon are your friends! No longer your father's sister's cousin's mechanic's daughter's neighbour's son's wedding!

Note : omgggg isn't it happening so fast? it could be YOU anytime! or Me. Not! *runs away from the boyf cause I wana stay single for the rest of my life to receive more ang paus. Okay I keed!

#2.
When you start seeing your friends giving ang paus during cny.

Reality Check : yes your friends! your own good friends! yeah I have about 2-3 friends who did that this CNY. Just because they have already started working. And not because they are married.

Note : young children, in your dreams, but I'll be only giving my first ever ang pau after I get married!

#3.
When you no longer receive ang paus.

Reality Check : What a sucker. the adults welcome you into their clique, and think that ya can now stand on your own feet. properly.

Note : I still want my ang paus lar. Gimme! XD Let me enjoy every moment of receiving ang paus before I start giving them!

#4.
When you sit around the table, full of adults, and you suddenly go like "omg I'm 21 and I'm old already". Try that, I challenge you. You'll receive loads of THE STARE, THE STARE that will make you whimper like a dog, pee in your pants, scurry to the kitchen hoping to find some teabags and boil some tea and serve them to cool down those volcanoes.

Reality Check : Never, ever say that you are old in front of adults. LOL. Kids may do them no offence, but once you start working, what-so-ever, just keep your lips sealed on that matter.

Note : seriously, some adults may take it, but i've personally encountered a few who couldn't. LOL. sorry la but i dont have any earl grey, oolong tea, chamomile to serve ya.

#5.
When people start to talk to you about work, not studies.

Reality Check : Welcome to the adult-o-sphere!

Note : I'm still young, don't ask me about it. I don't even feel like working the next time. Okay parents I am kidding.

okay whatever! age is a sensitive issue now, haha. but not for me! I am still younger than my age. God is fair, like what my aunt says. I may be short, but I will definitely look younger than you! Boo hoo! :D

Food, food and more food!

2010-02-20T22:35:00.003+08:00

Hyeeee loves! I'm back, finally.

No, my CNY break was definitely TOO SHORT.

No, I did not get to eat my favourite penang laksa. It's not open :(

No, I still have not bought my camera yet! /sigh.

Sigh. When I went back, the shops were either closed already, or no stock left. Pfffttt. What luck. Fine. It's retailing here in Malaysia for nearly 3k, but only like 2.4k in Singapore, which then gives me a very good reason to visit the Lion City again! :D what can be better than this!

Though I'll only be getting my dslr like 3 months later, but I get to go shopping in Singapore! *giggles

Okay camera aside. Let's talk about CNY. It's not too late though. Happy CNY Everyone! :D

I seriously had a blast back home. Being able to see the parents, granny, bro, sis, aunt, uncles and cousins is definitely a bonus! Missed them so much. On the eve of CNY itself, bro treated me to a superb 12" pizza. :D Yummy! And parents treated me my favourite tomyam maggi.

Okay I received tonnes of ang paus (not that many actually LOL), ang paus from loved ones means a lot. No drinking session (ahem, okay I had a little compared to MY BROTHER) and only played some fireworks. POP POPS actually. Not those boom bang fireworks. Had fun attacking the bro and the cousins. Haha.

And I think I lost the ang pau my granny gave me. :(((((

Dinner was on the second day. This is what I've been waiting for. Good food! Okay before that I had pasta already (cooked specially for me cause I complaint I can't find a decent pasta shop in Bintulu), mum's signature Jiu Hoo Char, loads of CNY cookies, assam prawns, steamboat, curry fish, etc. I think I gained like a pound or two already.

Started off with yee sang. Don't really fancy that. That's the only moment where YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY WITH FOOD AND NOBODY CARES. Haha. Shark's fin soup next. Seriously yummy. I love my shark's fin soup together with the pickled green chilli.

Okay the pics aren't good, I don't care. I was too hungry to take good pics. Haha. Oh I was given a chance to toy around with my uncle's newly bought Panasonic GF-1. The pics were awesome! Most of the CNY pics are in his camera. Still haven't got them yet.

The roasted baby pig with dumplings. Not a big fan of porky dishes. LOL.

COD FISH! STEAMED COD FISH. 4 huge pieces some more. *drools

Then the rest are the normal dishes la. Brocolli plus mushrooms, fried mee, tong sui, bla bla. I was super stuffed that night. Who cares about big tummy. It's the in thing lor. LOL.

Loved ones.

Bestest, closest cousins ever.

Missing them now. :( Called mum just now, and she was happily eating curry fish head! Jealous! I was only eating maggie just now, no shops are opened yet. :(

But many, many thanks to Aaron, Mei Fang, Raymond for inviting both Amy and I over for dinner. :)

Bai nian tomorrow lor! :D :D

I'm coming home! -to the family-

2010-02-07T22:08:00.004+08:00

The weekend is gonna bid me farewell in about 2 hours time. So cruel triple eewwww. Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new week. New week = Monday = Work. That word can make me shudder. No it's not that interning in ABF is that bad, but perhaps I'm just a person who doesn't like to work that much? HAHA who likes working anyway?

I'm soooo into the CNY mood now, I seriously can't wait to fly back to Penang. Family, the food. /yums. Yee sang, penang laksa, char keow teow, tom yum maggi, shark's fin soup (okay don't really fancy this cause it's so cruel but once every year only so who cares? I'm so mean), steam cod fish, home cooked chinese soup and the list goes on. I can rant about food whole day long. So pardon me.

Haven't bought my new clothes yet, can't really shop here. :( Quote from Mildred "you wana shop in Sarawak? you shop sai(shit) la". You seeeeee. There's nothing to buy here. No MNG, Topshop, DP, etc. :((((((( Pardon the long face. Meh.

The weekends here are uber boring. I pass the time by sleeping mostly. But then, fret not, I've came up with a super plan for this month! *giggles

13/02 - 14/02 : Back home for CNY
20/02 - 21/02 : So far nothing on the 20th, but will go for golf on the 21st! :D First time!
27/02 - 28/02 : To Miri and Brunei. Mildred, here we come!

Okay so this month doesn't sound that boring. Can't wait for Tuesday, it's payday from Nuffnang. We shall see whether can I hit my target of RM7 per week.

I am coming homeee! *croons to Daughtry's I'm coming home

Cashing out money 6 months later

2010-02-04T12:35:00.004+08:00

Oh i've decided. Was browsing through my nuffnang account and I've just realised, I've been with Nuffnang for nearly 2 years already. Perhaps it's time to cash out the monehhh.

I joined on the 28th of August 2008. My walk with nuffnang turns two this coming august. And I've never cashed out my moolah. Not even once. My first ever earning was a week later, from a campaign called MyEG August CPC SS. Not much. Only RM0.75.

So i've decided to cash my earnings out on the 31st of August 2010. A great day I foresee. And we shall see how much I've managed to earn from nuffnang after 2 years.

It won't be that much as what you guys are earning now I believe, but oh well, I can do something with it. :)

But anyway, I have a target. I'm hoping to get at least RM7 a week starting from now till August, to make my earnings a round number. Hopefully. Doubt I'll hit it. :(

Anyway, life's good. :D Not really. Wait. It's gonna be good when I get my ass back to Penang! :D :D :D *triple grins

Blogging from office, lunch time. Better stop surfing the net now, else I'll get meself into hot soup.

xoxo.

p/s : sorry!

What happened to my pay?

2010-01-29T19:55:00.004+08:00

Today's the last day of this month. Woops I mean, the last WORKING day of this month. What can it mean then?

Pay ~~of course!~~ NOT.

Ewww I'm so disappointed. Man, seriously disappointed.

Not that I'm desperate for money, oh yes may be I am. :( I only have like RM1.20 left! /wails

This is like so sad. The saddest thing on earth. T___________________T I'll only be getting my pay like, next month? Meh.

I thought I could happily go for manicure today, start tithing, and perhaps, touch and feel the cold hard cash. Haha I sounded like I'm obsessed or something like that. :D

Like, whatever. Anyway mum and dad don't worry. I still have money. Haha.

So we had our first visit today. I mean. The UTP's lecturer's first visit today to ABF. He's Dr Khalik, and he's super cool! He's bald, quite well built I'd say, tall. For an instance I thought I was looking at Chris Daughtry. LOL.

CNY is just like two more weeks away. Family (loves), New clothes (yeah I still haven't buy me clothes! :( tsk tsk), ANG PAUS (just gotta bold and capitalize this), FOOD (this too!), and finally, the CAMERAAAA! :D

I'll get to fly back to Penang using MAS, and UTP's gonna pay for that! Roars with laughter. How awesome. :D

That's the 2008 CNY picture after CNY dinner. Me with the short + curly hair, still plumpish, and forever dark :(. And the trendy granny in pink, mum, bro, sis, uncles, aunt, and cousins. :D Missing 'em loads.

Going home soonnnnnn! *skips around the room and sings

xoxo.

p/s : to you, yeah you nuffies, those who want to exchange links, just drop your link at my cbox :)

Canon 500D it is!

2010-01-25T09:28:00.006+08:00

Time for updates!

Okay. So the oh-so-fickle me is being fickle minded again. Yeah I don't want Nikon D5000 nor Canon 450D anymore. Imma gonna get a canon 500D.

That, is a canon 500D. You know what. I think I better get it as soon as possible before I change my mind AGAIN. Maybe a 90D later. Oopsie! Whatever.

500D should be sufficient. I have 3 Canon sifus. Gab, Wan Sin, Edgar. :) And wan sin said we can exchange lens. This is like awesomeeeee!

I can only get it back in Penang, should be on the friday or saturday before CNY. And hopefully I'll have the time to explore that baby and capture great moments. The thought of having one and holding it actually makes my heart pound like a thousand times faster. Meh.

Anyways, today's Monday, and I already feel so lazy. Great. Payday's this Friday. And may be a nice dinner at Hartz Chicken Buffet, manicure, pedicure? Or may be I'll just bank it in as I'll be spending a bomb on 500D. :/

I have a new ad now. Prudential. Beautiful. To ya all my faithful readers, do click on my prudential and tiger ads and I shall reward you with the most-awesomest-juiciest updates on meself! Haha.

Toodles!

xoxo.

p/s : Blessed belated bday darlin' -josiah T- (23/01)
p/p/s : Blessed bday to you, bestie. -jessie- (25/01)
p/p/p/s : Blessed bday in advance daddy love! -daddy- (26/01)
p/p/p/p/s : Great, now I owe 3 ppl bday pressies.

Bla bla.

2010-01-20T12:57:00.005+08:00

Just some lil updates. :)

Worked my ass off till 7pm yesterday. From 7.30am till 7pm. Had catalyst change out, so had to help around. Unbolting, unloading, loading, boxing up, bla bla. Ain't easy I tell you. And I've got a big fresh bruise on my right knee, from climbing up the monkey ladder that leads to the catalytic reactor. Bah.

Boss was supposed to treat us to lunch today, but apparently he's busy so next time yeah. And oh, Chin said Roy's a slave driver. LOL. Roy's not here today, so I spent my day wasting away. Feeling kinda wasted though I have tonnes of work piled up.

It's already week 8, two months already. Second pay coming in next week on friday! Cold hard cash. :)

Aaron'll be driving Amy and I tonight to Li Hua Plaza, where gadgets can be found. Amy wants to survey for a new digital cam, and me, a new dSLR of course. Should be getting Nikon D5000, instead of Canon 450D, i think, but I am so fickle. Heck. The next minute I might want 450D. Great. Can't really decide. :/

Can someone help me decide? Haha. Or perhaps tell me what you think?

Money's ready. Have yet to ask permission from my parents. Haha. Please mum and dad? :D

Planning to get it before cny, so I can capture great moments with the family. Missing 'em loads, granny, parents, bro, sis, aunts, uncles, cousins. Loads of ang pao coming my way! :)

I've been sleeping earlier than before now. 9pm. Imagine.

renae : Hye I gtg. Sleeping soon. *clock shows 8.45pm
whoever-it-is : What? wtf? so early? O.o

Seeeeeeeeee! I hardly sleep before 10pm now, unless it's that weekend. Though I sleep so much, I still 'fish' in the office. Great.

Okay camera hunting tonight! Triple yay! :)

And oh, I have a new ad by nuffnang. Clickie please? Will return the favour. A bit more before my cash out. Please please?

shake ya sushi

2010-01-14T19:23:00.005+08:00

Hai. :)

Yup that's me in my topshop sweater, bear pjs and butterboy(my bolster). :)

The weather has gone cranky lately, the rain started pouring at around 1am last night. And it is STILL pouring now. At times only slight drizzle. Else it will be casting a spell on ya and you don't feel like doing anything at all. All you want to do is to lie down and pull the sheets neck high and doze off.

It's still raining now, and has been raining for more than a day (24 hours to be precise). Goodness. I love rain. The smell, before and after.

Sushi King is finally here. I know I know. Sushi King might be the last resort for many (points to the people in the peninsular). There's Sakae Sushi, Azuma, Shogun, you name the rest. Here in Bintulu they only have Sushi Tie, which according to many, is a no-no/so-so. Haven't tried, so when Sushi King opened, I've decided to have sushi for dinner instead of the usual rice/mee.

This is what I had for dinner. Chicken Katsu Don. It was not bad. A change. For good. And I had salmon too. :) Sushi King is currently having a promotion till the 21st. Buy 1, free 1. Those that you can find on the conveyor belt. But of course, they will give you the cheapest one for free unless you take all 10 plates that are of the same price.

Went out with some of the UTP-ians, and also some of Aaron's secondary school mates. Met up with Mei Fang finally, she has just completed internship and is back for 2 weeks before going back to Tronoh. Saw Siu Ying also. A pleasant surprise.

*mei fang, amy, renae, jenny*

After dinner we headed our to Summer Tea. Apparently this IS the PLACE where youngsters would hang out. Had chocolate milk shake. Not bad but the Oreo milk shake from Flying Chillies at The Gardens can beat it flat. Kinda bored so it was Jenga time! My fav :)

That's Aaron in action by the way. Look at his face and Wendy. How serious. Haha. Couldn't take it anymore by 10pm. Decided to leave. One last group picture,

It was a great night.

xoxo.

i am ten shades darker

2010-01-12T17:41:00.003+08:00

joking.

Well yeah may be I am. :(

Had a project today, which required me to climb up and down the catalytic reactor for countless times. It was conducted under the scorching sun, but thanks to the contractors, they constructed a canvas shade for us. How kind :)

Climbed up the reactor, saw how they opened it up, took out the wire mesh, effin heavy 1" alumina balls, and changed the catalyst. It was platinum (Pt) on Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3). The catalysts looked just like your normal fish food. Just that they are greyish.

Started around 10am I guess, and ended around 5pm I supposed. It was so hot I was sweating profusely, and we had to wear the N95 mask because the reactor is extremely toxic. All in all, it was a great experience. And seriously, I think I got darker.

Dang.

I like being tanned. But I don't want to get tanner anymore :(

Will be having another one tomorrow. Resin change out. Hoping for the best. This will take one full day. From 8am till the next morning.

Sushi King is finally here in Bintulu. Haha. Still no McD. How sad. Shall be hanging out with friends tomorrow at Sushi King. Not much variety that's what they say. Oh well.

I am beat. So dead tired. And my body is aching. Looking forward for a better day!

Adiós! :)

hear ye hear ye!

2010-01-09T09:39:00.005+08:00

Greetings!

Ahhhh, have been away for quite some time. I am terribly busy in the office so when I come home, it's straight away to my bunk. On Thursday, I decided to take a nap at 6pm, and wooh laa, I woke up at 6am the next day. Time for work! ;)

Well ain't that that keeps me away from blogging. The main culprit : Lack of Creative Juices

Ask other bloggers, and yes, surely they'll tell you at times they don't know what to blog about/don't feel like blogging anymore/yada yada.

May be it's my turn huh?

Fret not, I won't quit the blog-os-phere. :D Just a tad slow in updates. Patients, my loves! :)

Just completed Week 6 of Internship. Pretty fast, ey? Another 26 more weeks to go, then I am truly a certified Final Year student. Sounds so old. :(

But anyway, working is definitely very, very challenging. Task wise, a tad. But the thing that is really, really killing me is working WITH PEOPLE. Heck, people are so freaking complicated. At times. No, I ain't pointing my fingers to anyone, but this is life. Working with people is fun, but at times it turns ugly. Still, I ~~love~~ am loving it!

It's fun although I see the same faces everyday, LMAO. But these are the people whom I hang out with. A nice bunch of friends. :)

So yeah, that's about it. Some updates, live from Bintulu. Haha. Mel will be leaving for Ipoh soon, so will be meeting up with her for the last time.

And Celcom you better hear this. I don't pay you RM68 every single month for such connection. Buck up, else I'll be charging over to your nearest branch very soon. Kinda pissed with the connection, that's also a reason why I can't blog.

I have to refresh for the nth time to load just a single page. Kinda impossible that they slow down the connection cause I haven't pay the bill. Mum said the bill is not even here yet. So broadband, ya better be good.

Aight, time for proper breakfast. IKO biscuits plus chocolate soya milk. :D

xoxo.

Farewell 2009;

2009-12-31T14:02:00.007+08:00

Today marks the very last day of this momentous year.

I can't really say bits and pieces fell into place perfectly, at the correct timing, correct place. But this year had been a very meaningful one. Let us just say, I didn't regret any single thing that happened this year.

May be I've achieved something big myself, I don't know. I have a pretty bad memory. Like you know, if you ask me what I had for dinner yesterday, heck, I couldn't even tell. :(

I don't bother making resolutions. I'll be so hyped up thinking what to accomplish the following year and forget bout them ten seconds later. Besides, I never keep to those resolutions anyway if I can remember any.

2010. A brand new year huh.

I'll be another year older, wiser perhaps. :)

No matter what, next year shall be a blast, my God, my family, my boyf and my friends will always be by my side.

Toodles 2009!

Happy New year loves.

xoxo.

p/s : Just received my first pay from ABF. Perfect timing. :)

i thank god for christmas

2009-12-29T07:51:00.009+08:00

Holla! Have been MIA for quite some time. Sorry for the long hiatus.

Anyway, BLESSED CHRISTMAS people! It's never too late though! Yeah no doubt it's the season of giving and joy, but always remember, Christmas is all about how God gave His son to die for your sins on the cross because HE LOVES YOU. :) Wonderful, ey?

Ah anyway, I gonna shout it out loud again about how blessed I am to be here. :)

Started internship in December, which means that 2 out of the 4 Fridays are off days. And not forgetting the first Friday in the brand new year. The first long weekend, I headed down to Miri and enjoyed myself to the max.

The second long weekend, Christmas it is! Have been celebrating Christmas for the past two years in JB, but this year it's over at Melissa's house. Loads of thanks to Mel and her family for being so gracious to host Amy and I.

We packed our bags, headed to her house on Thursday after Christmas Service. 'Camped' there for 4 days, 3 nights LOL. Had her mum's classic shepherd's pie, black soy sauce pork, and ayam pansoh (chicken cooked in bamboo; an Iban dish). Awesome possum! :D This is the first time I ate so much meat.

And oh, 3 rounds every sitting. Great or not.

The boyf always buy me Christmas presents. And I get to choose what I want. Love the way it works. And this year, Melissa, Serena, Felicia gave Amy and I both a hand sewn beaded long wallet/pencil case and also a bar of Ritter Sport! Wooo hooo! :D

Christmas mood. Over. Bring on the New Year mood!

Barbecue by the beach, any takers? :)

indefatigability

2009-12-22T09:36:00.004+08:00

means tireless determination.

I'm saving. I am saving real hard for a DSLR.

Most people recommend me Canon 450D. With a budget of around 3k.

That means 3 months of my salary + allowance. :(

How to survive like that?

No entertainment, no holidays! :(, no shopping spree.

Still surveying the market and asking for opinions from pros.

Yeah I am being very patient.

Very patient. :)

Miri Escapade!

2009-12-20T17:44:00.005+08:00

It was a long weekend, many of you should know. After being here for 3 weeks, I'm starting to get kinda bored of this place. Nothing much to see here, and the food, more or less the same thing I eat every meal. I know I shouldn't be complaining, but cut me some slack will ya'? :)

Amy and I were planning for a trip to Miri sometime later, but why not this coming weekend? Met Kelvin at some random place, and he decided to tag along. And the rest was history!

#day 1
Left for Miri on Friday, 7.30a.m. bus. Reached there prolly around 11a.m. Met up with Gabriel, yeah, will be crashing at his place.

Had lunch in one of the restaurants in Pelita area, then it was shopping afterwards. Went to Parkson, but boo hoo, couldn't find anything. Later we hit the beach. Nice breeze. I haven't been to the beach for ages. The undulating waves, hammering softly against the rocks; and the windy breeze brings out the inner me.

*breeze*

*amy, chong, kelvin, gab*

We headed to Marina Bay later, to watch the sun set. :)

*effects aren't that great though :(*

Reached back Gab's place, had the most awesome meal ever. His mum is really a good cook.

#day 2
First stop was at Curtin Miri Campus. Jetty next. Boulevard was next. Outcome = A pair of black shorts. :) After that it was infamous cendol, sotong kangkung and fried tofu for lunch. It was good though.

*cendol*

*fried tofu, sweet potatoes, yam*

Then it was Canada Hill. Nice breeze once again, nice scenery. Further up was the grand old lady. Something Kelvin wanted to see so badly.

*canada hill*

*the grand old lady*

*gab isn't happy cause amy ain't giving him the attention*

*:)*

The Miri Public Park - the infamous hanging bridge. Effing scary. Played at the playground. Oh I feel so young again! :D

*hanging bridge*

*fountain*

*waterfall*

We went to Yi-Hah-Hai Seafood Restuarant for dinner. So-so I would say.

Went home and I had these waiting for me. 2 in fact. Something I've wanted to try, since I am starting to become a durian lover thanks to the boyf. They have already warned me. The smell is stronger. When I first sniffed it, it was freaking unbearable. I took a first bite, and I nearly puked. The stench, omggg, made me sick. :( It was a waste not knowing how to eat mountain durians. :(

*mountain durian*

11p.m. Date with Han Sze, Mildred and Wan Sin. Reached back home at 12.45. Slept like a log.

#day 3.
Church early in the morning at 8.30a.m. Ended at 11.00 a.m. Got back, showered. Had lunch. Had mee sua (seriously yummy!) and roasted pork. I think this is the first time I ate pork so much. LOL. Bus was scheduled to depart at 12.30p.m., waved Gab's family goodbye, and at 4p.m, we reached Bintulu.

Nice trip. Very blessed. Thank you Gabby. And your family too! It was a pleasant stay. I can now crossed out Miri from my trip list. Upcoming : Sibu, Kapit, Kuching, KK, Brunei. :)

Gonna hit the sack now.

xoxo.

An awesome weekend.

2009-12-16T19:55:00.004+08:00

Uh. I am sooooooooo tired everyday after work.

Having to rush here and there to collect data on the task that I am working on, plus ABF itself is not a small playground. Boots are heavy. :( My legs are ugly and they hurt real bad. Weather has been throwing tantrums lately. One minute it's raining heavily and the next, the sun's up.

I have so many blog posts pending, i.e post on the Christmas Parade in Bintulu (yeah my very first time) and also the post on my very first time (again!) carolling in a real, authentic, genuine longhouse. Haha. I guess I won't go into details, I shall just roughly tell you what I experienced.

The longhouse is effing long, hell yeah, and it houses prolly 15-20 families. And oh, the longhouse was somewhere right in the middle of Bintulu-Miri. Most of the time they dine together, as in everyone comes out from their houses and sit at the verandah, chit chatting away, eating to their heart's content. :) Most of the houses do not have fans (or maybe they just didn't switch it on), so Amy and I were practically sweating like mad. We had fun laughing at each other, had fun exploring the longhouses overselves, had fun laughing at the jokes Jeremy made about their names, had fun watching livestock running here and there.

The Christmas Parade drew plus minus 5,000 people! Imagine the crowd and all. At the very front we have this police patrol car clearing the road for God's people. Haha how awesome! Then a guy carrying the cross up high, followed by a school band, girls brigade, boys brigade and then the churches. I was with Sebastian that night, had fun laughing at a guy from his church, had fun waving to the crowd like supermodels, had fun singings carols, had fun wishing the bystanders "Merry Christmas". :)

All in all, the weekend was a wondrous one. Thank God for all the opportunities. Great timing. Though I may not get to see snow like my other blessed friends do, but over here I can strongly feel the love of Christ, and the love of one another. :)

Miri this weekend yo! Please, God?

xoxo.

<3 the smell of coveralls

2009-12-11T18:54:00.004+08:00

Was preparing to blog and all, suddenly my 'sv' came back from his lunch break. Why the inverted commas? Cause I am still sv-less, I think nobody wants to be my sv. So he's just my temporary sv. Whatever. LOL.

And yeah he came back. I exited the browser, and flashed him my brightest smile. :D I can still online why not, it's still lunch break. But anyway, I decided to go back to reading.

Had to concentrate on the ammonia plant the whole day. :( It's interesting, but my attention spell is superbly short. LOL. And I discovered the pantry, filled and stacked up with loads of coffee bags, Lipton tea bags and also Milo. Huge grin. Hell yeah I am bringing my mug to office on Monday!

And oh!

*me in coveralls! :D :D :D*

Someone commented "omggggg you look so cute in coveralls!" Haha I can just laugh and say thank you!

*3 retards*

Lee Hwee Huat the smart retard told me proudly that he has a personal cubicle, his own pc, his own lappie, and what not. Cheh.

*beat this! LOL!*

Everything is fine here, thanks for the prayers people! Almost everyday there are plenty of activities to be done. Just celebrated Raymond's bday on wednesday. Supposed to go carolling today again but I'm just tooooooo tired.

Tomorrow morning to Tamu Bintulu at 7am. Great. Lunch with Siu Ying in the afternoon, and Christmas Parade at night. Sunday-church service, and Sebastian invited for carolling in the afternoon at the Org Iban's Longhouse! How can I not go! But seriously, usually after church, I am beat. Flat. See. With these activities lined up for the weekend, I can now proclaim that I wake up darn early everyday.

Tired. So darn tiring. I went to bed at 9pm yesterday. Earlier than any preschoolers. Haha. And I need to go on a diet again. :( I am eating at a very scary rate, and mind you, the portions they serve here in Sarawak, goodness, are meant for two. And I can finish everything. Clean till the last drop. See? :(

Ewww. :(

ASEAN Bintulu Fertilizer

2009-12-06T14:03:00.006+08:00

I've been blogging quite a lot recently. As in I update more frequently now. Is it? Or is it just me? Haha.

Anyhow, like what I've promised, this post shall be all about ABF.

ABF, the abbreviation for ASEAN Bintulu Fertilizer, is situated in Kidurong Area. Heck, when people hear the word fertilizer, they give me the look. Gah. One even commented, you'll smell like fertilizers. Boo hoo.

Not many has heard of ABF, Malaysia LNG is the more popular one. They are neighbours. Yup ABF is just beside MLNG (Malaysia Liquified Natural Gas). Remember the story of Malaysia LNG's gas leak? Yeah that's how dangerous working in a plant is.

On monday (30112009), it was my very first time in ABF. The plant is huge, no doubt, the company provides bicycles for the workers to move around in the plant itself. No handphones are allowed within the plant area, so are cameras. That's an offence and immediate dismissal will be imposed if caught.

8 of us from UTP, 8 months in ABF.

I snapped a few pictures. Not many though. Let 'em do the talking. :)

*front view. nice?*

*that's the side view*

*san, mie, nae*

*the whole lot; Amy, Hui San, Zahirah, Abdullah, Aaron, yourstruly, Phil, Raymond*

That's all that I've got at the moment. Too caught up in briefings and all.

Despite having to wake up at 6am every morning, but one thing for sure, internship rocks my socks. :D

xoxo.

Carolling yo!

It's a blessing to be here.

Life's a bit slow and all, but the company, friends I mean, made it up.

I tell you why.

Courtesy of Hui San and her family, Amy and I get breakfast nearly every morning. And she's gonna bring us to the best laksa sarawak tomorrow. Awesome!

ABF, so kind of them, provides breakfasts, lol, and also tea breaks. Usually tea with fried mee or some local delicacies.

Lunch. Okay lunch is usually in ABF itself, great food in Datai Cafe (datai means datang in Iban language). Prolly around RM5 including a drink.

Dinner now. Had dinner in Raymond's house on Monday. And today, Jesse and Melissa invited us over for dinner. Food was simply awesome. The shepherd's pie was the best I'd ever tasted, so was the seafood pie. Went for two rounds. Wanted to go for more, but pai seh lor. Haha! Sorry no pictures cause all of them are with Jesse. :)

Supper? I seldom eat supper here, cause usually my hard disk shuts down at around 10.30pm. :) Healthy lifestyle, no?

So mum and dad, no worries cause everything's fine here. Really. And I think I've added a pound or two. Haha.

And oh, I went carolling for the very first time yesterday! :D Went to some Iban villages in Kemena, Bintulu with Sebastian and his church members. A brand new experience for me. Some facts:

#1. The head of the family, tuai, will utter some prayers, be it in English or Iban, before carolling starts.
#2. If the family wants the carolling team to go to their house, they'll place a candle at the doorstep. It's like a signal/symbol or something like that.
#3. The first house and the last house will usually prepare food for the team; the last house usually will prepare a complete meal and the first house, cakes.
#4. After everything, the head of the family will give a token of appreciation, usually in a form of donation. (correct me if I am wrong in this)
#5. The tuai rumah will choose 2-3 Christmas songs, either in English or Iban language.

I was telling Sebas that I don't know Christmas songs that well and yada yada. He said, sing only. When the tuai rumah in the first house chose the songs, I flipped open the song booklet and to my horror, the songs he chose are in Iban language. I was like omgggg. Haha. I thought we were going to sing English songs, and Sebas never warned me about that! But anyway, Iban language ain't that tough. Sebas asked me to pick it up and 8 months later, converse with Vin in Iban. Haha!

*the candle*

*carolling*

*sebastian!*

*food*

Carolled from 7pm till midnight. The best part : It was raining quite heavily in Kemena. Haha! Got home, showered, headed for bed straight. And I fished during Utilities Briefing today. Sorry Mr Clement!

Ahhh more on ABF the next post. I've got loads to say. :)

Till then,
xoxo.

"I'm Sherlock Holmes in the Making!"

2009-12-02T21:33:00.002+08:00

Man, how cool is that.

Nuffnang's giving out tickets to catch the premier screening of Sherlock Holmes! And being a die hard fan, I'll go to the extra mile to try my luck. :D

The nuffie team scattered a clue in 2 blogs, KY's and Cheesie's.

And hye, this is the clue that I've found from KY's blog. Haha.

All you need to do is to find that particular clue(yeah that image on the right), printscreen it, blog it, and submit an email to nuffnang. Simple as ABC lar.

So yo! I am crossing my fingers real hard! See you in the cinemas Holmes!

xoxo.

Greetings earthlings!

2009-12-02T20:17:00.003+08:00

Greetings from Bintulu.

Yay! Broadband finally. Uh, it costed me a bomb for the modem and all. It's okay. At least I am connected to civilization! Haha.

3rd of work today. Got to go back earlier cause the person who was supposed to brief us is super busy. Apparently. Haha. One whole day doing nothing.

Work commences at 7.30am (what the heck) and ends at 4.30pm. Meh. I have to get up at 5.30 latest 6am on weekdays cause the company bus comes at 6.35am sharp. Once you missed it, that's it. :( Ewww I don't even wake up that early during secondary school. And I ain't a morning person. :( But looking on the positive side, I have to sleep latest by 10.30pm every night, for a good 7 hours rest, so I won't fish in the plant/briefing room the next day. This is good. Healthy lifestyle. Haha!

And eh, I eat a lot, a lot here. I don't know why, perhaps I am still adapting to the culture here. I eat before boarding the bus, I eat again at 10am, again mid-day, again after work. 4 times a day lol! It's too much for me cause I have to go to the loo twice a day. Haha.

Sharing a room with Amy, big enough for two. :) Rental's great, plus the location is awesome. Thank God for the awesome place, loving the room. Bintulu's such a small place, think I've covered like 70%? Food's not bad, am slowly adapting to the local delicacies. Eating paku-pakis (I don't know what you call this in english) is something special, I have yet to eat silk worms and whatever they have to offer.

Can't wait to go Kuching, Kapit, Brunei and also Miri. Will be planning for trips to KK and also Labuan. :) Everything's great that's all I can say. And eh, if I happen to reply you very slowly over gtalk or something, blame it on Bintulu :)

I wana watch Sherlock Holmes! I am a big, big fan of Sir Arthur. Please please please? I wonder will they show it here or not. :(

Goose buy people!

2009-11-27T18:31:00.005+08:00

So long. I shall be leaving tomorrow, to somewhere, for my next phase of life. It sounds great indeed, and I know it's gonna be awesome.

I'll definitely be missing tonnes of loved ones, who wouldn't?

The family

The sister

The granny

The boyf

The COP-ians

The retards

The rest of my aunts and uncles and cousins. But I'll get to see them during CNY anyway :D

And also missing the roomie, who's currently in KL. sigh didn't have the chance to meet her before i leave. :( Miss you love.

Flight's at 7am tomorrow. Just finished packing. Will hit the sack early cause I'll be a grumpy pot if I don't get enough sleep. Haha.

So catch up with you guys when I get there safe and sound!

Ciao!

With love.

Home.

2009-11-25T22:37:00.005+08:00

Aye, I rest my case.

***********************************************

It feels great to be back. The family, the food, the familiar scent. :)

I am so tired I'll just practically drop dead by the time I hit the covers. Yawn.

2 more days, hell yeah. 2 more days in Penang. 2 more days with the family, and good food. Then I'll be starting internship. Triple yay!

No assignments, no homework, no tests, no finals for 8 months! Huge grin. :D

Ahhh. Eyes are heavy and the bed is calling.

Toodles!

Joyful weekend

2009-11-23T00:32:00.004+08:00

The boyf came. Reached on friday around 2pm, just right after church meeting. Everyone was so glad to meet him. :) He brings joy.

We had quality time together. He taught me drums, went to Ipoh after that, watched christmas carol (love it) and 2012 (huge disappointment).

The following day we had worship practice together. I'm so proud of him cause he can play musical instruments so well. :) Next we went to Restaurant Jirendan (vin is this correct?) haha. We had the most awesome thosai masala and authentic cow's milk. RM18, but worth every single penny. Loving it. Thanks vin!

Sunday came. Attended service, had a great dinner together, and finally it's time for him to bid farewell. :( I'm sad no doubt. Tears flowed greatly. But what cannot break us will make us both stronger. :)

*missing you*

xoxo.

Rest in you.

2009-11-15T22:01:00.004+08:00

Ahhhh. A breather. Finally. :)

It feels so good. Had a very nice and refreshing nap straight after church.

Really thank God for today. I've got ample rest, mending and healing my broken and tired body. And time to chill. :D

And oh, I love this song. "You Alone Are God". Superb. One powerful song. Am currently addicted to it. Thanks Vin!

My intern's just like 2 weeks later! Omggg I can't wait. So excited to go for internship. Have been planning what to do after work (yeah I finish working like around 4.30pm) so perhaps I'll just continue picking up drums, or prolly hit the gym. Or just laze at home. Lol.

Intern yay!

And for now, two more papers!

"Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." Psalms 37:7

Stagnant.

2009-11-09T02:43:00.003+08:00

I took a break from studies yesterday. One whole day.

One whole day actually means a lot if your preparation for finals is still at an alarming stage.

Got up from bed prolly around 1pm, checked mails, surfed the net, and prepared self for service.

Reached church around 2.30pm, was dragged to the side by my CG leader.

"Eh let's have a girls' CG outing before the exam begins".

I was like "yeah sure. a good time to unwind. i'll be away next semester anyway".

The next thing I know, right after service, I was in Henry's car to Ipoh already. Some wanted MovenPeak's western food, but the girls in Henry's car protested for Japanese food.

We went to waraku. Customer loyalty haha!

8 girls + Joey and Helen. :D

*the girls; <3 'em*

*joey with the gf*

*helen; and no, that's not his gf lol*

*tirrrrrrza and stella*

*stella and i. oh i so love this pic!*

Will be missing them loads. :(

Note to self : I need to get the remaining pictures from Eula.
Note to self 2 : Remind the boyf to bring the hd when he comes.

Idiocy.

2009-11-04T04:01:00.004+08:00

Absurd! I have to earn my rest? Kid me not. Ridiculous betul.

Yeah I'm still awake cause I have tonnes of assignment to be handed in tomorrow, and a dullard scopeless test tomorrow night which I don't know where to start so someone please help me.

But why, if teaching's ain't your thing, don't do it mate.

I am high on stress tonight, better than crying my eyes off. No head banging nor loud music no worries. I changed my status in gtalk so many effin' times that it actually draws attention. Unwanted attention lol.

Finals just exactly next week, tell me great or not.

Anyways,
to the brother - I hope you recover soon! :)
to mum - Don't worry bout him. He'll be fine.
to the boyf - missin' ya!
to Josiah's mum - Thanks loads for the help.
to Vin - May God granth you strength for this week. The weekend shall be a blast! :D
to Ivan - Good luck in finding a new and perfect job!
to the coursemates - let's spank Suzanne tomorrow!

Evil, as what mildred would say.

xoxo!

All American Rejects' Concert
31st October 2009
6pm till late.

It was one helluva party man! Serious it was freakin' awesome zomgggg.

Considerably this was my first concert ever (okay the Chris Daughtry concert doesn't count), it was awesome. So so awesome. They sounded good live. AAR was simply marvelous. Shame on you if you missed it.

Reached bukit jalil at 4.30pm sharp. Queue was super long I couldn't even see the entrance. Queued up for an hour before Jason Anderson and Mildred came. Asked them to take over our places and suddenly the line was moving very fast.

It happened so fast that the next thing I could remember was giving my tickets to the person-in-charge, ahead of the sea of eager fans.

I was like 'omggggg we are going in earlier than the rest!'.

True enough, when we passed the security, I can see the huge empty space right in front of me, with only a group of people or two in front. The boyf and I were running and screaming our heads off. Joined the crowd, and we were roughly the 6th row away from the stage.

Yup. That near. That near till I was hyperventilating. Jason was like 'WOAH. I can't believe we are this near'. Considering the fact that many actually reached at 2pm just to get to the front.

Anyways, the local bands did a great job. Disagree, One Buck Short, Sam from Bunkface, that girl from Estrella, Pop Shuvit. They rocked that night.

*this near :D*

*disagree*

*pop shuvit*

*one buck short*

AAR made me waited for 40 mins or so. But luckily they made it up, real good.

*aar!*

*tyson!*

*:)*

*jason, mildred, boyf, i*

*with the brother*

A lot of shoving and pushing here and there. But luckily the boyf was protecting me from the very beginning till the end. Thank you! :D

Witnessed people fighting. Lol. They were just right beside me. Haha.

This is something I will not forget, Tyson and his mates made my day.

I wanna touch you!

A hellish week

2009-10-28T18:47:00.002+08:00

Ahhhh. Till today I've finished two presentations and a test interview. Another test to go which will be on this coming Friday, and also ETP Final Report.

Then I'll be off to KL! Civilization weh. Good food. Good company (the boyf and bro). And AAR's coming this week!

Darn I will only get my slr next year. Else my first shot will be used on them. Haha.

I'm very, very tired. I need to get a good rest. This weekend shall be my therapy.

xoxo.

All night prayer meeting.

2009-10-24T21:41:00.002+08:00

'Pray without ceasing' - 1Thessalonians 5:17

I attended my first ever all night prayer meeting. And I was amazed.

The usual prayer meeting in campus last for about an hour and a half, at times just an hour. But yesterday's prayer meeting was from 11pm to 7am. 8 hours omggggg.

The heart is willing, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. That's why pastor said it's good to train yourself, spiritually and physically.

Pastor came with Theo and Wing Yin. So we started off at 11pm, and it was supposedly to end an 6am, but because of sharing and prayer needs, it ended at 7am. They provided coffee and tea to sustain the sleepy ones, biscuits for the hungry ones.

The thing I couldn't believe was how I manage to sustain throughout the whole night without feeling sleepy for even a bit. The power of God. How God spoke to me, telling me what to pray for 4 hours non-stop. How Chia Ming prophesied over me. How Vinod sustain me with the word. How Steph encourage and build me. How Gaspar prayed for me when I saw the devil. How Jim, Gabby, Henry and Joel were there to give me support.

It was indeed a blessing. The night was just superb.

After that, the still energetic and hungry ones went to Tronoh market for breakfast. Had Pan Mee, and Iced Milo.

Slept at 8.30am, woke up at 5pm. Haha. Great or not. Had McChicken for lunch, and now I am freakin' hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

With love.

Credits to Gabriel for the pictures.

the good ol' days

2009-10-11T20:12:00.003+08:00

Was browsing through pictures. One after another.

Came across a few, and I came to a halt. Reminiscing the good times I had when I was an athlete back those days.

I had very few pictures of myself back those glorious days. Everything started off with squash, when I was in Standard Six till Form Three. Next was shooting, Form Three till Form Five.

I still play squash every now and then, with the boyf as my sparring partner. But I have to admit I am no longer as good as those days. No longer that fit anymore.

I can run non-stop for an hour at maximum speed without panting afterwards. Now? I think I couldn't even complete one big lap of the UTP field.

From the looks of it, I think I need to get myself back on the field again. I don't want to waste everything that I've acquired, especially my trained fitness. And I ain't that fast anymore. Sigh. ;(

It's time to hit the tracks again, the least gym.

*winning the inter-village tournament-squash*

*this is the only picture i have, with my 10m air pistol*

I seriously regret for not taking tons of pictures back those days. I don't have a single picture of me playing squash, perhaps people are more interested in my game. Haha. So the next time when I spar with Joe, Jason Anderson and Christon, can someone help me take some pictures? ;)

Missing all my sparring partners. All away in KL for internship.

And it's killing me for not having a single picture of myself with my beloved 9mm, that I used for the 25m event. It's metallic red and black, how sleek.

Oh how I missed those days.

'stressy' friday

2009-10-09T13:56:00.004+08:00

Fridays are meant for resting.

Especially for someone who is as sick as me.

But had to stay up till 3am this morning thanks to the Process Plant Design (PPD) assignment. Did that assignment at mamak, where the TV was blasting like crazy, with stupid WWE on air. It doesn't help when the wi-fi at the mamak was down at that time (yeah how unlucky), and that stupid undertaker screaming his lungs out (i only know undertaker, so no offence).

All went well, thankfully, we started at 11pm, finished by 3am.

And when I woke up today, I have another assignment to complete. Engineering Economy. Very good. It's still at 0% now.

Both assignments are due later at 5pm. Procrastinate more. Smart.

PPD class later at 3pm. Who loves classes in the afternoons? Especially on fridays? Sigh.

Anyway, why All American Rejects changed their concert to the 31st of October?! Why that day of allllllll days? It's so freaking near finals, and Farewell Night is on that day. Farewell night is specially planned for people like me, who is going for internship next semester, and also for the graduating seniors. How can I not go? ;(

I'm in a dilemma. A serious one. AAR or Farewell?

Help!

Blessings that I can't contain

2009-10-06T20:07:00.003+08:00

As you know, I'v changed my layout. Ain't good at htmls so yeah, loads of blog links disappeared. Lol! And if your link is not there in my blog roll, drop me a comment. Don't tell me via chatbox cause connection's a retard, and campus blocks the chatbox anyway.

On the other hand, God's blessing has been too great for me to contain. It started off with free movie passes from radio stations, next came the invitations to premier screenings of movies. The boyf and his friends benefit the most. First came the premier screening for Orphan, then Murderer, many more, and the latest one was Surrogates. After that it was the T Music Festival tickets for two worth RM168 each. The latest blessing :

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown worth RM99.90 by redfm!

omg
omg
omg
like freakin' cool can
thank you! ;D

Bro bought one back in Penang, so now we have two. Told bro, and he was like 'omg omg omg shouldn't have bought la bla bla bla'. Haha!

Still no placement for internship. :( Wonder what's wrong. Is it me, or my resume, or is it just MY FACE? Okay that was meant to be a joke. Still waiting for a good company. Do pray for me people. ;)

ETP presentation is tomorrow! Gosh I am sooooooooooooooooo nervous. At the beginning of the semester I was praying very hard for a great team, with no sleeping members. My God provides, in the end I became the sleeping member cause the rest were just tooooooo good. Haha. I practically had nothing to do, so in the end I covered all the reports. How blessed. ;)

xoxo.

Brand new.

2009-10-06T00:51:00.002+08:00

Ahhhhhhh. Finally a new layout. :DDDDD

What do you think? What do you think? :DDDDDD

Well, it may not be as colorful as the previous one, but still, it's time for a change.

I guess everyone's kinda bored with the previous one, having to see the same old one for you know how long.

The current one may be a tad dull, depressing perhaps. But heck, I'm lovin' it.

By the way, can someone with decent connection tell me what do you see over there in those small boxes right beside every post? The connection in campus is a retard.

And why am I having the same adverts the whole day? The whole day I kept on seeing Dutch Lady and Nike ads. Bah.

Tomorrow's class at 2pm! Beat that! *huge grin*

xoxo.

Of all american rejects and rocking away.

2009-10-04T21:16:00.009+08:00

They are coming. To Malaysia. To KL. To One Utama.

I've been following them ever since their first single, My Paper Heart, was released in 2001.

*the all american rejects*

Tickets. Check. Camera. Check. Company. Check.

But, I only know 7 songs. How pathetic.

omg.

Runs to DC++ and A to Z Lyrics Database for help!

What a fan. Sigh.

Our Love's A Perfect Crime - AAR

Baby blues.

2009-09-30T19:50:00.004+08:00

I wonder how will I look like, if I cut my hair short. Yup. As short as Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls. This is so random, but I've been thinking of it days. I know I'll never have the courage to do it. Meh.

Did nothing productive today. Blame it on the weather. It was chilly, yet all I need to do is run for cover under the duvet, and less than 5 I'm snoring away. (ok no I don't snore)

I still haven't gotten any placement yet for internship, and it's less than a month now to confirm which company I'll be interning with. The whole family will be enjoying themselves in Spore while I'm working end of the year, so I better get a good company with a good location. Very patiently waiting for God to reveal His plans for me. I know intern will be good. ;)

First day back in campus and I've already lost my appetite. So had to trouble Cally to pack chinese food for me. I miss eating pasta, oyster mee sua, pasta zanmai, 'kolo mee' from Murni, sushi zanmai and the list goes on.

Stumbled upon someone selling bird's poo/droppings to be used as mask for face brightening. Tell me. What's next?

And no, I don't feel the tremors.
