Here comes December

Seriously don't want time to fly this fast. It's only a month to go before I leave Penang :(

Don't wanna start studying again, don't wanna start making new friends because I suck at it, don't wanna go to a new environment, don't wanna learn getting used to being FULLY independent, all on my own.

Sigh...

And with all the things happening around me, it doesn't seem to give me the freedom to start preparing (ie buying all the things I need like a freaking LAPTOP omg)...

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!



Oh, and December 1st would be Ms. Khoo's seh jit! Happy 20th Ms. Khoo!

Dum de dum

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.

The above is what I really want to blog about. Like a mixture of everything I want to blog about but cannot because y'know, some are private, some are family matters, some are gossips, some are this and that.

Oh, and today my mom came upon a piece of snake skin at my old dog kennel. Wtf. The second time already actually! She freaked out (like seriously freaked out) and asked me to clean it. So I did... but it was difficult to clean la from the outside so I slowly poked my head in, turn to the left (where the skin is)... and go silent with horror when I realized there's ANOTHER one dangling on the right of my head!

Ok to be honest I was on the phone with Ween at that time so my eyes just went like O.O and I told Ween about it hahahaha. Seriously disgusting. There must be a lot of snakes in my house right now hmm. (Actually I'm quite frightened by this thought, don't know why i sound so calm.)

It would help to tell me what to do to get rid of snakes though! I already know these:
1) Putting sulphur (my house is full of it already)
2) Rearing geese in my house (if the snakes hate their shit I bet we will hate their shit too wtf)
...so I need better ones.



Oh and hahaha last night Shoon treated us to a big meal at Blue Reef! Lots of us were there... Him, his gf Su Wern, Yonn Vernn, Heidy, Sun, Sam, Shun Jie, Nicole, Shian Ru, Ween, Chin Siew, Ms. Khoo Ling Hui, my bf and myself! Didn't really thank him properly though, so THANK YOU SHOON! You got the ball rolling in the right direction hahaha I'll have lots of free meals next year since almost everyone is turning 21! Except me of course I'm still 18 :D

Anyway after that everyone went their own way so Shun Jie, Nicole, Sam, Shoon, bf and me went back to AC for drinks. We were at Tao Lounge reminiscing about the past & also popular high school romances. Serious funny shit digging the final truth out of everyone =D



Sigh actually things are not going on well for me :( But it's not really something I can control or change so... Yeah.

So ok

Yeah well today's Way Shoon's birthday as everybody probably knows. Yesterday night he came back from KL and all of us went to duck egg char kuey teow to meet up for a bit!

(Kota permai's kuey teow basah is closed till December grrrr. They have the BEST kuey teow basah everrrrrrrrrr. Abang Is' (the one in BM town, opposite the post office) is going down, seriously. We have been eating at KP for quite a long time, but bf decided to pay Abang Is' a visit, and the kuey teow came looking sooooooooo dirty and yucky! Then there was one night when Siong Ping, Sam, Bf & I were there. The person who ordered decided to use his very good memory to remember the orders even though the pen and paper were in his hands! Bf always always orders tak mau hum, tak mau taugeh, tak mau kuchai everywhere he goes. But the plate came without prawns, taugeh and kuchai. Which means it's kuey teow and HUM galore. It tasted like a big blob of cow dung, and bf swore never to go back there anymore. Anyway he's super proud that both cooks at KP now remembers his orders! Hah cannot compare to Abang Is liao.)

So anyway Bf was like, "Oh later 12 o'clock remember to wish Shoon Happy Birthday!". Then I had an idea and said let's go buy a few pieces of cakes lah.



It wasn't much of a surprise because he had to rush back so we took out the little box at about 11.45pm. He was initially very paiseh to be doing it at that place though hahaha.


There's Chocolate Moist Cake, Chocolate Blueberry, Tiramisu and Blueberry cake! All of them tasted SUPERB!


Boyfriend and Shun Jie.


Shun Jie, A very ready-to-eat Sam and Way Shoon.


Hsun Yuan in red, Way Shoon in background.

So yep! Don't worry though cuz we'll be celebrating with him this Saturday. Last night's thing was sorta impromptu.



ANYWAY. Besides Xiao Ming & Xing, I have also been breeding guppies in my garden. My dad has lotsa pots with water lilies and lotuses so they're like perfect breeding places for MOZZIES! So one day I went and got a couple of guppies and threw them in. Now they've kept me SO busy. Because they kept having babies and more babies and more babies! From one pot, I expanded to four pots. And then my dad made a well in the garden so it's four pots and a well. And now I've filled up another empty pot specially for the guppy fry! Y'know, babies; so that's the babies ward. And then after that I filled up yet another empty pot and named it the maternity ward WTF.

Basically I have to run between 7 places looking after the guppies and making sure they're well fed and also watching out for babies cuz THERE WILL SURELY BE BABIES!


Can you see them? Those light-coloured ones are actually from the Albino guppy, and notice the three dark ones? They're from the US Amazon guppies! Whatever lah, basically there's the white guppy and there's the black guppy. And they're racist too so I separated them today in case the black start to eat the white babies and the white start to eat the black babies.


And these are the fry I got from the maternity ward. I initially didn't want to separate them from their mom at first but then I saw the mom mengganas chasing and threatening to eat one of the poor babies so I quickly took all of them out.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY THERE WERE!!!!! And these are like the 100th batch of babies or something, I totally lost count.

So yeah the two batches of babies in the pictures above are now in the babies ward! Should I tell you that I accidentally killed two babies while cleaning their pot today T__T

And I'm planning to start selling them when I finally run out of pots! Who wants to buy! Got normal guppy, red-tailed guppy, US amazon guppy, albino guppy and I'm now trying to mix-breed them hehehehe will have to wait for the babies to grow up to know if any of it worked though.



I actually just got back from a mug of beer at Bed, AC :)


Him looking sien which is a norm whenever he's with me *jeling


Me covering my eyebags hahaha.

Alrighto!






ANYWAY here comes school holidays! And also massive traffic jams on the bridge and ferry queues :(

And here comes December... and also lotsa Christmas songs wherever you go :))

.

I've fallen sick again and this time it's my third bout of flu. Don't worry I won't go all drama-queen over it though lol. Right now I'm just gonna be downing many Decolgen pills and vitamin C's in hopes that it will go away! I guess I didn't keep to the vow of "taking care of myself"... but it's not my fault my mom bought a bucket from KFC right? Haha :)

I got a text from Angie today wishing me happy birthday lololol. It's nice though to be reminded that my birthday is coming pretty soon. I don't have that excitement and everything... I mean, my mind's filled up to the brim with work and uni. Sigh, I'm excited to start studying again but I'm afraid it might not be the right thing for me. Also, I'm gonna miss home and my boyfriend loads.

I've always heard that you'll excel when you start doing something you really love; with effort of course, but you'll be enjoying not complaining. Well I don't know :(



Wah wtf I opened the kitchen drawer just now to get a spoon and something fell on my foot! It was like between my big toe and second toe and I thought it's just a rubber band or something... Until I closed the drawer, looked down to see a baby lizard w/o its tail WTFFFFFFFFFFF.



Oh ya last week I had my passport renewed together with my mom! After that I had to go home while she goes back to office and to save time she asked me to drive home myself to bathe and then get to work again (cuz our office is like in between the passport place and home; and my workplace is near our office). MANUAL CAR!!

Manual Kancil somemore never mind, at least I drove those during driving lessons but it's like a 1st Gen Proton Saga! I'm shitty at deciding when to change gears, I'm shitty at changing gears itself anyway and basically I'm shitty at driving manuals. The engine died like 5 times (luckily I'm already in front of my house that time), cuz my street is on a slope and my house itself is on a slope. I got out of the car shivering in fear and breaking out in cold sweat. Not joking, I was a nervous wreck and I even considered asking my neighbour to drive me out to work.

And then while driving out... I was at 2nd gear, and wanted to change to 3rd gear. But I accidentally pushed it back into 1st gear so my car sorta SLOWED DOWN DANGEROUSLY and I was almost crying while watching the back mirror to see a man who looked pissed and honked at me a few times. T_______________________T I swore to myself that even if I have no money to buy an auto car (let's just say it happens), I will use a bicycle.




The (not so) new Pringles! Grilled Shrimp flavour! But I think the highlight of it is its colour!


It's seriously PINK! Yes dangerous of artificial colourings bla bla bla but wow damn cute right! The taste is meh though...


Heee our monthly lunch at Blue Reef :) We're super broke people! And guess what, this time we didn't order any fish. That's the pumpkin soup!


My Glazed Paprika Chicken...


His Fettuccine with salmon in creamy sauce or something.

The food is meh this time. First mouthful would be MMMMMM Delicious!!! But then after that you'll realize it's not really that good. I would still go back for their fish and only fish though.




Last Saturday night boyfriend and me were being our usual sien selves. So in order to be less sien we dressed up! My family went for a wedding dinner which i was too lazy to attend.. so I had to take dinner with bf!

When we were about to go out his phone rang and apparently Siong Ping is in Penang so we went to pick him up and everything. Problem was, after the stupid jams and everything we reached Gurney at 11pm so Nando's was closed so we had to go to Gurney Drive to have dinner!


Met up with Sam & Siew Lay and hung out at Sega with a tower of beer. It was the most interesting night ever, everything we talked about :P


And a little bit more about my "latest obsession", as Ru puts it...

Xiao Ming goes a step further by being superman while sleeping!

Also, to be less unfair to Xiao Xing who gets less attention...

Here she is! She's really shy and always hides beneath vegetables though. :(




And this shall be the abrupt end to my entry.

And also don't be surprised if my blog died after this!

Life still hectic :(

Hello people I apologize for my absence around the blogosphere. I've been SO busy seriously. My working hours just got increased even more (well it's still little, but it makes a difference) so I'm not home most of the time. I did ask for more work though, so I'm glad my boss is giving me a chance to earn a bit more!

Even if I've got time to spare, I will be spending it with my boyfriend cuz we haven't been spending much time together lately too.. :(

Nevertheless I'm trying to squeeze in some online-time so I could be more updated with most things. It's rare that I have more than ten newly updated blogs to read at one time! Sigh since when this my part time job start eating up my life?!

But I enjoy working so much :) There's a little girl named Dernice who's just six years old, but learning Add Maths stuff already. Amazing, isn't it? And she's such a sweet, playful girl too! I wished she was my daughter, hahaha.

Anyway I'll blog properly some time soon. Seriously can't wait to write about the day I drove a manual car (and end up shivering in fear the whole day) and the day I burped the loudest hahaha.

Love!

Whoa.

I've been sorta busy and days got really hectic since last Friday :( Did lotsa stuff I had wished I could blog about, but I only got the time to sit down and type this out now.

(1)
So I am a little bit outdated when it came to this movie, I just came back from watching it.

It's somewhat a habit for me to put a small picture if I don't like the film. You might say it's because I don't believe in the end of the world, yada yada. But my boyfriend is a firm believer, and even he said it wasn't really that good.

I don't think it's because I put up high expectations for this movie or anything. The graphics are really good (except for some parts) and I guess they did a good job choosing which character to kill... I don't know... Something's not right about it. I heard they've already begun filming a TV series titled 2013 though! It's gonna be about how the survivors adapt to the new world and stuff. So I guess it's not much of the end of the world.

If this big ark exists and if we're really being kept in the dark, then I guess we're all dead meat. I mean, we wouldn't be as lucky as that bunch who sneaked into the ship (and risked everyone's life, come to think about it), and I doubt any of you have $1 billion, and not everyone is the President's kid. Oh well. No rating. Everyone's crazy and going ga-ga over the film, so even if you rate it zero, the cinema will still be full. Thanks to their publicity stunts and advertising *shrugs.

Busted this month's shopping budget o.O Bought a few pieces from Yih Ling *click*. But how can I resist! I was at her house and all the clothes were around me, and I actually have choices, and I get to try them on! So I bought a dress, two skirts and two tops. I was actually supposed to buy another dress but in the end changed my mind. Then I visited her stall at Gurney's flea market and got myself a clincher! Oh, anyway her blogshop isn't updated much. But her goods are gorgeous believe me.

(3)
My dad bought mom and myself a leather bag each :) There's this shop called Country Hide in Gurney's new wing which sells leather stuff, and mom was bag-hunting. I tagged along and surprisingly found a bag which I liked! I always go inside just to smell the leather (okay I'm obsessed) but the things never caught my eye plus they were a lil expensive to me. Anyway we were being normal females, arguing with ourselves whether to buy the bags or not. Then my dad walked in and put the cash on the counter so we didn't have the chance to think twice wtf. BUT I LOVE MY BAG, it smells so goooooooooood.

Seriously, love it.

My two or kuis... love stacking on top of each other. Or rather, the smaller one likes stacking on top of the other.

(5)
Let me show you something really cute (cuter than tortoises stacking on top of each other!)

Small Or Kui doing yoga/aerobics/pilates/whatever! I seriously don't know why are they so weird. They stay stacked for the whole day if my bro & I don't go and disturb them!

(6)
Stage's mascara works wonders really! Chin Siew bought it for me months back cuz she... had the privilege to get the stuff at massively discounted prices... So I asked her to get me a mascara just to try it out.

Hahaha last week we were both saying we should have gotten more stuff since now the "privilege" is "gone".

Somehow can't get my camera to focus on the lashes. But they were really good, even bf told me my lashes were long that night!

(7)
Alright, last one before I go off to bed. Morning class tomorrow. Working I mean *yawn.

Boyfriend and I :) I've never been to SOHO in Autocity, so last Saturday we didn't have much to do and I was saying let's go there just to see how it is.

That's also gonna be my last time there. I didn't believe it when people say it's full of ah peks but now I do. Not only it's full of ah peks but full of tu koh's too! And I thought it's haram to drink? *shrugs. Don't know. We left the moment we saw this bunch of teens who look like they snatch bags for a living, walking in. Not stereotyping or being racist, I'm just being honest about what I think here.

But their Heineken is good though!

It doesn't work that way (Part 2)

So here's trying to bust another chain-mail.

I am an avid online shopper, probably like everyone else out there, and I rely A LOT on my ATM card. Even if I don't do online shopping, I keep most, if not all, of my money in the bank. So sometimes even for a casual meal, I'll have to go to the bank to get like 50 bucks.

It wastes time, and it is also dangerous. And it's probably suicide announcing this out here, but I believe none of my blog readers are out to rob me la hor?

So I received this forwarded email that goes like...

WHEN A THIEF FORCES YOU TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE ATM, DO NOT ARGUE OR RESIST, YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT HE OR SHE MIGHT DO TO YOU. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS TO PUNCH YOUR PIN IN THE REVERSE, I.E.. IF YOUR PIN IS 1254, YOU PUNCH 4521.

THE MOMENT YOU PUNCH IN THE REVERSE, THE MONEY WILL COME OUT BUT WILL BE STUCK INTO THE MACHINE HALF WAY OUT AND IT WILL ALERT THE POLICE WITHOUT THE NOTICE OF THE THIEF. EVERY ATM HAS IT; IT IS SPECIALLY MADE TO SIGNIFY DANGER AND HELP. NOT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THIS.

FORWARD THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND THOSE YOU CARE

My usual instincts when I read emails like this would be, "Hmm yes very interesting and helpful. I would turn to this one day when I need it."

Image from *click*

But the thing is, THIS IS SERIOUS OK! I mean, what if I really was in such a situation, I enter the pin backwards, it doesn't work, the money doesn't come out, the police wasn't alerted? I'll probably end up raped and stabbed to death in some back alley (if I went to the bank alone, that is).

Simplest thing to do is to Google it. Google anything! "ATM Pin reverse", "Typing ATM Pin backwards" and you'll find out the truth. It doesn't work.

Yes, it's smart. Yes, someone thought of it. But no it doesn't work, because there are too many flaws behind this. How can you possibly tell what is your pin BACKWARDS when you have a knife/gun pointed at you? 4-digit pins are probably okay, but in our country, we ALL have 6-digit pins right? Can you tell what your pin is in reverse, in a matter of seconds? Is your attacker stupid enough to believe you need so much time to recall your pin?

Link 1
- would tell you straightforwardly that this is a hoax.


Link 2
- would make you think, "Hmm maybe Malaysia has it" (positive thought lol)
- quick glance at the comments would have you in fits of laughter. I mean, look at this:

TMichael says:
but what if your pin is the same in reverse? such as 1221?

urbanlegends says:
Then, as I understand it, you enter your PIN “inside-out” — 2112.

- seriously, are ATMs so smart?



So please, don't do it. You even risk having the ATM eat your card for punching in the wrong pin (believe me, it happened to my Mom when she was using her card for the first time).

And no offence to Glen, from whom I received this! Both him and Jimmy are like mad chain mail senders!
