Tuesday, January 26, 2010 @ 8:22 PM The rebirth Hello! 0 shouts. Monday, January 05, 2009 @ 7:28 PM OMZG. my blog was reviewed by Gobi. My heart skipped 5 beats. Thankfully, it was nothing bad.. hehehe. thanks for the review tho. ****** Themostawesomewinterholidayeverwiththebestestcompany. Paris was just too good to be true! Paris is MY LAND! Land with the most mouth-watering desserts, Nutella that is bigger than the size of my head x 2, the beautifully carved architecture/churches. My kind of place. The first 5 things bout Paris that pop into my mind, 1. Heaven to the sweet tooth/taste buds Crepe  Crepe with fromage and jambon. I love cheese!! How could people not love cheese! Love the chewiness of the cheddar. Especially the moment when it melts on your tongue. AHHH! It costed me 4 freaking euros! But, i think i make better crepe than the Parisians. =P I should consider starting a business. Macaron  Macaron - meringue-like french pastry from Pierre Herme. (courtesy of Miss Kelly Wong =) ) Love the crunchiness at the first bite and how it later melts inside your mouth. But, I expected much more from it as the Pierre Herme website is way too alluring.  This tiny piece costed 12 euros. Bloody hell, RM70 for 6 bites. Think of all the homeless in Africa. I need to do more good deeds to increase karma now.  So expensive. Obviously must take more picture with it right? lol  Many still went and queued, even under the rain. Where did all these rich people come from??? Goose liver  Better known as Foie Gras, a well-known french cuisine, rich in flavour, the buttery texture was amazing beyond words. Just so you know, the 3 sticks are the Foie Gras, goes really well with the black beans. I'm eating Foie Gras at such tender age, lifeistoogoodforme. Again, must do more good deeds to increase karma. Hot Chocolat  The hot chocolate is as thick as my mucuos. So rich, so chocolatey, so heavenly to the taste buds! The oh-so-crunchy and tasty bake  The look of it itself is already so inviting. Let alone the taste. I notice the Parisians like custards a lot.  Everything is Paris cost a BOMB. Pastries are the cheapest source of nutrient we could find in Paris. But, it is damn good lar i dun mind eating it for all 3 meals. =)  Look at it! It is so preeetty! It is screaming "COME EAT ME!" 2. Metro which stink of piss, Super pissing gross.  Drunkards love to piss in the subway. But it is our only form of transportation. It is so well-connected, having a car would be a sin. The fares were bloody exp tho. 3. Buildings/Churches that we couldn't resist "waaaaah-ing" and "ooooh-ing" Basilica of the Sacré Cœur at Montmarte  Mosque-like church. How ironic. But the details of the carving is super intricate, so breath-taking.  Seriously, it looks a lot like the mosques in Malaysia la. Notre Dame  No quasimodo. Just Kell, Me, Sue and Pui Kuan. =)   I just can't imagine how much time and effort they spent to carve.   The Pantheon    Not gonna bore u all with too many pictures :)  Oldest yet the coolest bridge in Paris! Against the depressing gloomy sky.  One of the most visited tourist attraction in Paris. Not within my affordability tho. The Lourve   Just to catch a glimpse of the most overrated painting in the world. Seriously. Monna Lisa  Even I look better than her. Giler siao. Xiaxue did a good job in beautifying her, look here. I, obviously, am not inborn with artsey gene. I went throught blood and sweat to take this picture. and the armless Venus de Milo  TELL ME lar wuts so great bout this statue, u tell me. I should break two of my arms and it may catapult me to stardom. 4. The chilliness actually bites. Now i know how it feels like being put into the freezer.  Water became ice.  It snowed at Disneyland! I felt like I was living a dream already, and the snow made my dream even more dreamy.  We were blessed with a light snow shower on our last day in Paris! So pwetty! But, there's a price to pay for such a wonderful sight. *shivers*  So cold even my camera lens got vapour. But it gave this picture a damn nice effect hahha! But the cold and wet weather really dampened our spirit to keep walking. 5. The glorious rusty metal landmark of Pareeeee~ B.E.A.U.tiful Eiffel Tower in different moods.  Gloomy eiffel.  Eiffel 65. I'm blue a dabadeedabada.  Shy Eiffel hidden in the midst of fog. Eiffel in blink blink. and finally,  Happy Eiffel! hence, happy us. We were damn sad at first cos the weather was so terrible, we couldn't get a pretty picture with the Eiffel Tower.  =)  Trying very hard not to laugh so that i wont trip over and kiss kelly for real. HAHA.  How could anyone not love Paris??? I'm definitely going back. Labels: Traveling 0 shouts. Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 7:27 AM The night that snowed. Just like how BBC had promised us. Yesterday, It was already 1am and I was in a cab with Jacqueline. We were on our way back from work when i noticed the light flakes floating its way down from the sky, just like a colloidal partical dispersed in the air. I cant help myself from 'wah-ing', as it was just too beautiful. The snow, ironically, gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. It is a sign that Christmas is coming. Woohooooo! I love the seasons! When we arrived back at JBC, most of us were outside, celebrating the arrival of the snow! Excitement was mounting in everyone as the snow got heavier. As usual, we camwhored, jakun style. Some screamed, some got naked, some just danced in the snow ecstatically! So jakun we actually got threw eggs at and a whole lot of other stuff too from the opposite block of JBC. No kidding. Stupid ang mohs, can't they just let us act like a kid just for one night? This morning, there were traces of smashed tomato, mustard, broken condom (no kidding) on the walkway of JBC. Imagine lar what the no-lifes do when they see foreigner go frenzy over the snow. But at some point we can't blame them as it was very silly of us to scream over the solid form of H20. Oh well, who cares la I enjoyed every moment of the snowflakes kissing me bare skin! Ticklish, like s soft pinch! So brainless of me for leaving my handphone in the cab. Even more brainless for not noticing that it is missing until i needed it to set alarm. Thankfully the driver was a good samaritan, who purposely made his way to Rottenrow East to give the phone back to me. I'm damn lucky, I know. Huhu, before I knew I could get my phone back I actually had a new phone in mind wtf. Thank you Mr Taxi driver for your kind heart. Labels: Just another day, Life, Random 0 shouts. Wednesday, November 12, 2008 @ 10:10 PM Damn, I must have been a really good rubbish collector! I really couldn't find another reason why City G8 called me to work for them again. Oh yes there is. The job is too sucky and no one wants it. I was working at the SECC, again, as a table clearer. It was ok at first, but I have customers telling me that I'm good in what i do bla bla bla. So does that mean I should quite pharmacy and become a permanent rubssih collector. Damn depressing lar i dun wan to be a rubbish collector :( The event I was working for this time was for the retirees. The Retirement Show, they called the event. As expected, most people in the event are all for Ah Gongs and Ah Pos. In the event, they offered many activities for the old people, such as dance classes, healthy cooking classes, facials, spa treatments etc. Also, there were booths selling holiday villas for the retiree to indulge in the remaining phase of their life. They even offered tips on how to live their life to the fullest! Its good to know that the community actually cares so much for the old, UNTIL I SAW A BOOTH SELLING COFFINS!! As if being old is not bad enough but must your remind them that they will die soon? :S Time passed really slowly on that particular saturday at SECC. Watching ah gongs and ah pos dance was how i killed my time when i had no rubbish to clear =.=;; I was really nice watching them dance, and they all seemed so happy. I was enjoying myself, until out of a sudden, a random guy just walked up to me and said' 'You will become one of them, one day.' and he grinned at me. I paused for 3.479 seconds, and I replied him, "errrr......i know?" WTF??!?!?!??!?!!? And i later spent the rest of the day thinking of what i will be doing when I get old. =/ Come to think of it, its really a blessing to be able to live that long. 0 shouts. @ 9:40 PM i.was.in.denial. There's a reason why I don't have a comment link on my blog. It was long gone before my blog became a public blog. Let's turn back the years to when I was at form 4. That time, the whole blogging thing wasn't a trend yet. A friend introduced blogspot to me and told me to get one for myself. I didn't really know what is the purpose of blogging, so I ended up using it as a medium for me to vent my anger, rant & bitch all i want so that all my unspoken grudges will gradually dissipate, and no one has to know. It is one hell of a good way to release anger. Blogging - your cheapest anger management solution, at least for me. My blog was a private one, until a friend linked my site at her blog and my blog became accessible to other people. Back then, I anti-ed having to be involved in any social networking sites, like friendster and myspace. I treated myself like an "outcast" and i hate to follow the "trends" set by the "norm". I have a friendster account, but i rarely use it, because eventually, I got irritated as many people kept pestering me to write them testimonials (the more the testimonials, the more popular you are wtf). Hello? What is this man. Damn vain I tak boleh tahan. Hence, I abandoned it. Blog later became "in fashion", and many people started blogging. Many socialites wannabes use blog to brag bout their oh-so-glamourous lives, always presenting their perfect life to the viewers eyes. Again, I super tak boleh tahan. At one point I wanted to give up blogging because of these people. Obviously, I did not. I continued blogging, but I didn't want to know who read my blog (high traffic or low traffic etc etc), so I removed the comment link. Hence, I cant trace those who visited my blog (i know bout IP addresses and all but i seriously couldnt be bothered). The reason is damn dumb, i know, but that way, I feel less stressed, and, I can write freely, without having to know people's opinion. (Another way to think is that I was in denial as knowing no one visits my blog would be daunting) Ha Ha! A few years had passed and my thoughts have changed. Blog is just a place for different people, who have different interests and talents, to write what they wish to convey to the public. Some people brag, some write really good articles, (some write rubbish - i used a toothbrush to brush my teeth, I went to the zoo and saw a tiger etc), some people bring justice, some seek attention, and some people just use it as a source for hot juicy gossips >=) I actually thought of putting back the comment link, but I, being a html noob, do not know how. Oh well. I was in denial, still in denial, will be in denial. I shall just leave my blog as it is now :) Oh my, i can actually blog about my comment link. Now, i feel like a hypocrite cuz I have a facebook account. = / Labels: Random 0 shouts. Monday, November 03, 2008 @ 4:59 AM When my two housemates were looking at one of the 7 wonders of the world,  I was stuck looking at this crazy crowd of humans.  Not just looking at them, but also sweeping of bread crumbs from tables, wiping spilled coffee stains, and picking up after the customers. It was too nice of them to call us the table clearer, when the truth is that I am actually the rubbish collector.  My working outfit. I was working at the Exhibition Centre for the weekend at the BBCgoodfood show. Ha! Who knew Gordon Ramsay would just walk passed me, as in right in front of me! He smelled, erm manly, of course. haha. Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. 5.60GBP per hour is good money. Who cares about collecting rubbish. Plus, the employers were very generous people. Lunch break I get to choose what i want to eat. Buffet style. Being a true Malaysian, I took full advantage of it and I get to save dinner too! =) Ahh feels real good coming back from work, despite the sore legs, muscle aches and painful shoulders. Makes my sleep for the night much more peaceful and pleasant. The house of H7 seemed so different without the presence of those two people. Its like it lacks energy. This may sound absurd but seriously, I actually miss the both of them. awww. 0 shouts. Sunday, November 02, 2008 @ 5:23 AM After months and months of slacking/procrastination/spending-like-there-is-no-tomorrow, finally, I've done something noble. I'VE GOT A JOB! Now, there's at least an income to my starving bank accont. The rate of excretion is just way too high. This whole getting a job thing has been driving most of us nuts. Its like we're competiting among ourselves to get jobs. Even from that you'll see things that U dun usually see. Ahh nvm on that. How great it would be if everyone gets a job. =/ I feel like I've achieved something great. Working in different places gives me different experience, but so far my jobs only involves plate waiting, serving, table clearing etc etc. Never knew a job that seemed so easy is actually not that easy after all. Who knew plate waiting can actually build muscles? U tell me! Every time after work, all you want is just a back massage or just lie flat facing the floor, hoping that the chair will just roll over you, HARD!Just so you know, I'm officially a Crowne Plaza Part Time Waitress. =) Sounds all big and reputable and geng and such, NO, it is NOT. Why? 1. It is not as professional as how other 4 star hotel. If not, a person like me also cannot be qualified to become a waitress lar rite. 2. The manager shouts at you as if you're like a dog. He just reminds me so much of Gordon Ramsay in Hell's Kitchen. (HA! I saw him at work today! Ya he looks just like how he looks on tv, duh~) 3. The plates are like made of bricks of gold. It was just too heavy, I wasn't physically and mentally prepared for it. Lately, I've been burying myself in piles of printed journals for my research project. The progress of my project is even slower than a snail. I've not met my supervisor more than twice and this bugs me so much because I really dunno what's going on and others have already started with their introduction! Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It even haunts me in my sleep. Need to read more journals now. Labels: Life 0 shouts. Wednesday, October 22, 2008 @ 4:29 AM 口头禅 Ever notice how some people have a “signature line”? Like Hui Yen Right now, other than the world most famous "Oh No, SHIT!", my favourite saying is "Oh My God!". It's not because I'm a religious person, the word just sticks to me. It just adds extra oohm to your statement doncha agree? It is more effective than using a exclamation mark!!!! Below are some pet phrases, very frequently used by Malaysians. And, only Malaysians would understand. We all love to use 'em. Top 10 Most Addictive Pet Phrases 1. OMG - The most overused and abused pet phrase used by all walks of life. I've abused it a lot. 2. What the... ! - Most often used when shit happens. 3. Mother (Ma De) - hahaha i have no idea why chinese likes to curse other people's mother! poor mommies! 4. Abuthen - i think this was started by Phua Chu Kang. Origin should be hokkien. But this word has evolved to "Abaden", "Bubuden"... 5. Jia Lat - Personally, one of my favourites. I don't use it tho hahha. Its really contagious. It was started by Hui Yen, now spread to Hui Bee. Jia Lat is also Hokkien, which means something that needs a lot of strength to do something. BUT, Jia Lat is synonymous to terrible, tak boleh, thick skinned etc etc. 6. takbolehtaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahan - I like this the best! This phrase just shows how irritating a person or a thing is. The longer the 'ta' is held, the more severe the irritation haha. The source of this contagious disease is Yieng. 7. Awww - An expression of endearment, or when you feel like something is cute or sweet. I overused this as well. 8. Wa Piang!! - Ok. to be honest with ya, I have no idea what this means. It is always coming out from Hui Yen, and when she uses this word, she hits her forehead at the same time! Ha! Its her trademark! I'm guessing it means Celaka or something. 9. Wahlau! - The malaysian version of "whoa!". Some likes to add the "-eh" behind, which becomes Wahlau-eh instead. 10. DNMCH/DNMCB/Diu/Niama/CB/CH etc etc - whoaaa.. chinese can be very crudely indecent when it comes to vulgarity. According to Steph, vulgarity sometimes can actually accentuate a statement. She said, "which of these is a better expression? A. "This food is very tasty." B. "Wah, this food is damn 7 tasty loh." or A. "I can't stand her!" B. "CB, She is so jialat! I tak boleh taaaaaaaaaaaaaahan lor!" Undoubtedly, I have to agree with her. Actually, there are way more than 10 addictive pet phrases. Like how we, Malaysians, use -la, -lo, -ma, -liao as punctuations/fullstops. And, in H7 (my flat), Jac's most commonly used pet phrase - I TELL U (in mandarin) 我跟你讲, and its affecting the house of H7! Steph - DNM! hahah only she uses it. She can also sing when saying that phrase. Hui Bee - 他很不能的啦! Now, it has become H7 trademark pet phrase. Jamie - 鸡的! Well I don't actually know where did that originate from or why would anyone wanna curse a chicken. I was infected by Wai Jane. Swearing 鸡的! is a more polite way to scold CB, imho.
