Detour

The internet is my only entertainment now. So you'll be seeing me posting loads of craps on my blog, polluting your mind with my pointless thoughts. Hahaha!

I'm kinda forgetful for a person my age. I'm only 20 la! Ok..I forgot to bring my memory stick reader back to Malaysia so I couldn't just copy some pictures or files into my laptop. And I donno how to use the cable. Somehow it just doesn't work.

So in order to transfer files I'll have to use a long detour, the one that involves my Samsung S5 player. 

Then connect to my laptop..

Its kinda troublesome but I guess I have to do it. Remind me to bring my camera so that I don't have to do that all the time when I took some nice pictures.

A series of unfortunate events

Like I said, I broke my Wii yesterday. So I can't play the wii. 

But today, the astro remote suddenly stop working!

and we're stuck in channel 701: AXN

Aww..this is SO not my week. First the wii now astro?!

I don't wanna watch AXN forever and ever...well, until I get a new remote anyway.

Heh..but the remote is kinda old...more like 10 years old..so its not a shocker that it would stop working at some point. It's time has come.....

Update:

Hah, the remote is still working. Its just some Astro problem and was fixed today afternoon. So I was a little over reacted about it ^____^ Its all good..all good~

The dark knight

The dark knight might be a great movie for most people but I think its just an ok movie. Its a bit too action-ie for me. (I know that's not even a word but yeah..too actionie.) Might be caused by the fact that i'm not really a batman fan. Do you need to be a fan to watch this to understand it?

The graphic quality was really good. I do like the car and batman's vision. That's so cool. It lets him see through walls and know the placing of people in the building. Wonder what would I become if I have that kind of technology XD

They make Harvey Dent's burnt face looks so realistic and scary. Its so believable! He then turns bad because batman or the cops didn't save his girlfriend and save him instead. That's why he wanted commissioner Gordon to suffer what he'd been through by attempting to kill his family infront of him. He should be more greatful that he didn't die then. Heh..he died in the end of the movie anyway. And what's up with the flipping coin destiny thing?

Don't get me started with the joker. OMG I love the joker. Heath Ledger is a genius! He's so good at playing the part of the joker.

He looks so creepy and evil but at the same time he's smart at doing what he does. "Why so serious?" and cuts people's mouth to put a smile on their face...or he just kills them right at the spot. He said that he likes knifes because guns are too fast for him. Hmm..true true..guns are pretty fast. And he kinda always gets away with his evil schemes. 

The end of the movie is so touchy. I almost cried when the kid said batman did nothing wrong and when Gordon said that batman's not a hero, he's a silent guardian, a protector..the dark knight.

This movie is not like "WOW" to me since I don't really get most of it. Maybe I should watch it again to get the gasp of excitement. But its a highly rated movie so who cares what I think.

Lunch with the birthday girl and boy

Kang Wen and Ying Hui~ the birthday girl and boy! This picture makes me look chubby..but of course its not about me..

 

Somehow we have an interest in this drink. can't remember what's the name but its supposed to be for couples ^^ It tasted like lychee if anyone's wondering..

and this is the birthday boy's....

.....bucket of soup?

After lunch, we all went to watch the dark knight movie. But before that, we went our separate ways coz some people wanna buy presents and others just wanna play pool. 

We got a bag for Ying Hui. 

and I got this for Kang Wen..(he's been hinting for months)

Yeah yeah..mplayer for the mickey fan! Don't you ever forget about the deal! See..i'm such a great friend......

I havn't have time to give him yet..(that's why I can take loads of pics of it XD )

He's not the only one who gets an mplayer, I bought 1 for my sister too. A black one.

Black is so sexy.

Ahh! what the heck

My blue mplayer ^^

Lastly, I like to wish them happy birthday~

Step by Step

He's getting better now. He used to drink from the toilet bowl...

Oops!

OMG I broke the wii! I didn't mean it. I just turn on the power switch then I heard some popping sound like "pak.. pak...pak.." sound. So naturally I turn the switch off. Then the wii wouldn't start anymore! I need to get it fix soon. Hopefully its just the adaptor that is burnt not the wii. T.T

sprained ankle please be gone!

I sprained my ankle about 5 weeks ago and it's still hurting now. I even stop wearing high heels for weeks! I just want my sprained ankle to heal...but is 5 weeks a little too long?

Am I an addict?

Everybody get addicted to something somepoint in their lives. Like me, I get addicted to loads of stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm not addicted to drugs, alcohol or nicotine. What I am talking about is physiological addiction. It's kinda the same as addicted to drugs, but not as dangerous..it might be dangerous...depends of how serious your addiction gets.

Here are the top 5 stuff that I got "addicted" to:
1. Anime
2. Games
3. Dramas (Korean or Taiwanese...not a huge fan of Hong Kong and China ones though)
4. comics
5. and...ok... food!

It sounds serious that I have so many addictions which make you people think that I have a psychological problem or that i'm just crazy and should be locked up in Bukit padang (mental hospital) or whatever life issues. I don't! at least I think I don't...

I was addicted to Anime a LONG time ago. It gets serious at one point that I was watching anime all day without doing anything (I don't miss meals though...note addiction no. 5). I like watching anime because of the stories. I even have a blog about anime. This addiction soon wears off because I simply lost interest in watching anime. 

Games...hmm.. I've played lots of games before e.g. RPG, MMORPG, puzzle games and so on. Most of the games I played for like 3 days tops then I stop playing them. Sometimes I only play for like 30 min then its over. So I never finish any games really. Games gets boring after a while..I get bored fast..plus I'm really bad at those fighting strategies stuff. I basically sucks at playing games. Then why do I still play games? storyline of course and a little bit of fun time. 

I only watch dramas that interest me. So, I don't watch them all the time. 

I like to read comics now and then. I like to read it in a "book-like" condition. Meaning I only read comic books..not from the computer screen. 

Food! how can anyone get addicted to food? easy. I love to eat, that's all. It's true that I gained a couple of pounds but I won't let my addiction make me obese. That I cannot accept. So unhealthy and as a pharmacist to be, how can I treat people when I'm not even healthy myself?

Loads of video gamers are really addicted to game playing and they really need help. If you are playing games but do not neglect health and studies, then its fine since its just some fun in life. Right? I actually don't consider my hobbies an addiction since I'm not like glued to my laptop and play games all day long without eating or sleeping. (The anime one sounds a bit freaky but I'm so over that). I do other stuff too..like shopping, cooking, baking. I do have a life FYI. 

So, am I an addict?

Let me hear you say Wii.....!!

That's what I'm talking about! my dad bought me a set of wii. Yeay! I'm so happy. 

He even bought a sports pack and a fishing rod with it (I have no idea why he bought he fishing rod. He said he wanted my grandpa to fish.) 

I wanted more games so I can play with all of them XD hahaha. We used our old TV for the wii so we dont need to plug and unplug stuff later.

I'm gonna play my Wii now ^^ Wiiiiiiiiiiiiii

*luvkitties*

Cats competition is coming to town!

My mom was reading the newspaper and she saw an article about a cat show that was coming to Sabah. I was so excited when I saw it! Its on the 23rd and 24th of August so I told my dad I MUST be in KK those few days. Plus, they are holding is a pedigree cat competition as well. So many cats to see~ yeay!

I've actually been to a cat show before (something like 2 years ago?) and I loved it. There are many different kinds of cats and and you get to guess the weight of a really really huge cat! Its so big and fluffy and cute and... u'll get what I mean.

Back to the competition. Too bad its for pedigree cats only and I dont have any pedigree cats. All my cats are buatan Malaysia...or should i say made in Kota Kinabalu. I have one half siamese but he's mom was my KK made cat. So I dont think he's considered a pedigree cat. I wish I could enter the competition, I wanna win ribons...

Even though I can't participate in the compatition, I will definately watch the show. Cats are great! That's why I love them ^^

Big bed here I come!

Since my parents are both out-station this week, I decided to sleep on their new big bed. hahaha XD I can have it all to myself!!

Stupid mosquitos!!!

I woke up fine today but just feels a little strange on my left eye lids. Its like heavy and little bit itchy. So I looked at the mirror and found 2 mosquite bite marks there, making my eye lids look red and puffy!

Stupid mosquito! now I got one ugly bengkak left eye!! Urgh!

Finish up the sour cream....

Since I have some sour cream left over from baking the chocolate cake, I decided to bake another cake out of it. I have to use it up because the sour cream will expire on the 22nd and its expensive and its really hard to get! (Its the ingredient that I have to walk to Damai just to buy it, so no way i'm going to waste that little sour cream!!)

I was going to cook a dish with it actually but my mom didnt buy any fresh mushroom and paprika. So I just have to go with cakes. So I baked this "Sour cream butter cake". I couldn't find a really nice recipe that fit everything I have so I have to improvise a little.

One thing I got wrong was the vanilla extract. The recipe there says "11/2 tbs of vanilla extract" So naturally I devided 11 by 2..which is 5.5 tbs of vanilla. But I compared some other recipes and found that most of them are only using like 2 tbs most of vanilla. Some how I convinced myself that it needed 5.5 tbs. After baking the cake and everything. I suddenly understand what the 11/2 means. Its not 5.5 tbs, Its 1 and a half (1 1/2) tbs of vanilla. Ouh..but too late. I'm done baking anyway.

Turns out not bad...tasted like butter muffins. Only by sister said it tasted like sausages..how can a cake tasted like sausages?? I didn't even put any meat in it! I think she just have a weird tastebuds ^^

I didn't take a picture of this one because...well, I just didn't....

Pao making Pau?

Yesterday I decided to make some Pau (or called steam buns). 

I started with the dough. That was really really tough. The dough of the pau was dry and I have to mix it evenly. I used up more strength in a week on mixing the dough. How can the people who sell pau do that everyday? I can barely stand doing it for 15 minutes!

Since I dont have char siu (roasted pork), I have to find another filling recipe from other places. I ended up making lean pork with cabbages. Turns out great! 

The filling are tasty but just not salty enough. Because the pau bread is tasteless, the filling had to be a little salty. After filling in the paus, I have to wait like 10 minutes for it to rise and then only steam it for yet another 10 minutes.

^^" My paus are not pretty I know......can't blame me its my first time make them. Despite of their looks, they taste pretty nice. Seriously....

Paintball War!

Last Sunday, I went to play paintball game with my friend and my sister. My friend, Carrick, was so excited to play that he found a bunch of his family and friends (plus me and my sister) to play. The fees are ok, not so expensive. 

First, the lady incharge went over the rules and everything before we start playing. Everything was fine until she said: "Pain is part of the game." I don't want pain.......We can choose to rent a vest to wear while playing the game or not. So naturally i rent the vest. 

We was separated into two teams and then the war started. We won the first round but then lost the second. Its kinda fun. Since we have a lot of paintball left and we wanted to finish the game soon, the lady incharge suggested us to just shoot the opponent until he/she surrenders or we are out of paintballs. Can't really remember what it called...something like battle royale or something.

My sister got hit pretty bad since she was attacked by a person in close range. That hurts a lot and will get blue black (?). Ouch!

I did get hit but not close range so it doesnt hurt at all. So I got off with nothing. Generally the game was pretty fun. My sister said: " It was fun shooting people, but its no fun at all when you got shot!" hahah XD I still think its fun ^^

Worried about my cats

The weather these days here is kinda bad. Its shiney and hot in the morning, then it rains in the evening. Weather like this, even my cats got sick. I'm so worried.

One of them is serious I think. She dont move around much anymore and looks like she's really sick. I know it when my cats are not feeling well. But I can't take her to a vet. She's old and have always been aggressive. I don't even dare to touch her actually. No one dares to. So I'll just have to hope that she gets better soon.

My only male kitty is also sick. Can you believe that cats can have a sore throat and lost their voice? well..that's what happen to him. He lost his voice! I'm so worried that it will stay like that forever. He's my favourite right now and I dont want a numb cat. But I think he getting better, he's voice came back a little today. So yeay~

The others are just fine. So hope all my cats will be healthy and sick free!

Death by Chocolate

Last Friday, I was really bored at home so I decided to bake a cake. I search throung the internet for chocolate cake recipe and I came across a cake named "Death by Chocolate". It sounds cool since it uses lots of chocolate ^^. Before I can start baking, I have to get the ingredients:

Ingredients for cake
8 oz (225 g) dark semisweet chocolate (40-50% cocoa)
2/3 cup (140 g) butter
1 cup (210 g) sugar
4 eggs
4 heaped tablespoons (1 dl) all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ teaspoon baking powder or 1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons sour cream

Ingredients for frosting
2/3 cup (1.6 dl) heavy cream or whipping cream
9 oz (260 g) semisweet chocolate (40-50% cocoa)

So I walk to places near my house to buy the ingredients. I got all of them except 1 : Sour cream. I can't believe its sooo hard to find sour cream. By the way, its raining heavily that day and it didnt stop for hours. Well..I still had to get that last ingredient no matter what so I walked to Damai to search for it. At last I found it and by the time I reached home, its been 1 hour passed. I'm totally exhausted.

But I finally get started.

 

Looking good~

Since I'm waiting for it to cool down, I went to take a long shower after a tired day ^^

The cake will rise and then drop after cooling causing the surface to be uneven. I had to cut some of the skin away to make it more even. That explains the ring there.

Frosting time!

 

 

Even my sister helped out frosting the cake. I made the frosting from dark chocolate so it's a little bitter. I'm not a fan of bitter food. That why i think the cake is better off without the frosting. But the cake is REALLY good. I never knew I can bake! XD

Tada~!! Its supposed to be a little smiley face there but nevermind...

My mom tasted the cake and she said its really nice. hahaha I've succeeded in baking the cake! yeay~

I don't get my internet

I totally HATE my internet line at home right now. Its been weird all day and certainly super slow. It even took me ages to load when I googled the word "j" ... It's not even a word! and still it takes ages...more like never. The speed is very slow even a snail can go faster than the internet. No wonder I don't see snails around, I bet they are having a race with the internet and amazingly they are winnig! Even when i wanna watch a 9 minute plus Youtube video I have to wait for like 1-2 hours to let it stream. Sometimes it even stops streaming halfway and I have to do it all over again...that means another 2 hours of waiting!

That's the slow part. The part I hate the most is I have to reset the modem after a certain period of time of online-ing. If I used the internet non-stop for a "long" time, the internet speed will go down hill and be unstable. Sometimes I can't even use it. It says there connection excellent and everything, but I can't sign in MSN, can't surf the web...can't do anything! It will say "error!" or "could not contact remote server" something like that when i tried surfing. I think it's my modem problem but i'm no computer expert so I have no idea what's wrong.

Somehow I wish I am using the internet line in UK. It is fast and...well..need I say more? Ok, I don't mean to talk trash of Malaysia's net or anything but after a series of problems repeating everyday its kinda getting to my nerves. BUT, yes there's always a but, troublesome internet line is better than no internet line at all. So I should be greatful....for now.

*I can't even post this post on my blog because of the cant locate remote server thing again! Urgh!!! I have tried switching the modem off and on but still no use. Stupid Internet! I'll save this post and try again tomorrow...

Finally!

An Engineer's Guide to Cats

This is so funny ^^ and his cats are really really cute! I love them~!!

Tape the kitty XD

I saw this trick a long time ago in Youtube and decided to try it on my cat. Its not cruel or anything because its not hurting the cat. If you do it carefully, the fur wont even come off. So I think its definately not a cruelty to animal. Its just pure entertainment and its really really funny XD 

I did it with a not so sticky cellophane tape (I tape myself many times to make it not so sticky..see..I was protecting my cat...again, not cruel!). Then I stick the tape on the cat just like in the video.

It's true! They really walk weird. Hahaha! and funny!!

YES!!!!!

I passed my 1st year pharmacy!!!!! yeay!!! I'm super happy~ Now I can enjoy my holidays with no worries! YES!!!!

New hair cut

Finally got a new hair cut! yeay~

First driving experience after 2 years

My dad let me drive my mom's not so new Camry today and I was really excited to finally drive in 2 years. Of course my dad was beside me since i'm no driving pro. He let me drive from the air asia airport back home. 

The first big BIG mistake was forgetting to wear the safety belt. I just remembered after driving half way and I went "Oh no! I forgot to put on the safety belt!!" The truth is, I was a little panic and I ask my dad to help me with it. He control the wheels while I putting it on but I cant really remember what I was doing so he helped me to buckle it in...I think i was half screaming.......hmm...

Then it went OK. I thought "hmm...not too bad for a lousy driver myself...". Well, the worst part is yet to come. I wasn't really good at left or right junction turning and changing lane because I don't know how to estimate those car distance complicated stuff....It is complicated to me! And don't let me get started with the mirrors. How can people see so many places and drive at the same time?

Ok there's this junction that I was gonna turn in. My dad keep saying "slow...slow...when you wanna turn you have to be slow.." so I was gonna step in the breaks while I was turning but I accidentally stepped on the gas (or whatever you all called those...fuel?). The car went a little crazy and my dad's fast reflex grabbed the wheel and like controlled the car. Luckly there was no cars around (there was one coming towards but was kinda far..and I think there's some at the back...) and i didnt crash into any poles pr anything. Finally I arrived home safe and sound. ^^ I hope my dad lets me drive again. I wanna challenge his LAND CRUISER!! wahahah XD

Some fun in Dubai

I came back to Malaysia on the 7th of June and that day I have to wait in Dubai airport for like 9 hours for the transit flight back to KL. I was really tired on that trip because the 9 hours of waiting time was actually my sleeping time too. So, some fun in Dubai airport is what we need to keep us awake. At least for the first 4-5 hours.

We start our so called journey from Newcastle. Since its lunch time we had Burger King.

That's Kai Lin and Audrey, they will be flying with me to Dubai~

Having my cute mini burgers...seriously, they are cute!

That's all we do in Newcastle anyway. Eat and wait...

Soon we got on the plane and fly to Dubai. 

Tada!! The Airport~ (I couldn't get an outside picture of the airport since i'm inside the terminal but this is still an airport picture ok.)

Here's some pictures of us roaming around the airport.

 

 

  

It wouldn't be fun if there is no shopping. DUTY FREE SHOPPING!

Even though its duty free, I never said that the stuff there are gonna be cheap. See this pretty wine bottle? (I think it's wine..not sure...)

Guess how much does this cost?

Dhs 5,400! That means it's like RM5400!! (The rate of dubai money and Malaysian ringgit is almost the same. I think Dubai money is tiny bit higher but whatever.)

So...all we can do is fool around in the toy store. hahaha XD

mainly in the weird glasses section anyway..Don't know why but those glasses are kinda fun XD 

and....aww......

What a cute penguine face...hehehee It is really CUTE!

Ouh, since we fly back on the 7th which is 3 days after my birthday, I took this one special picture to wish myself a very VERY belated birthday! 

hahahaha ^^ HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO ME!

and also Amanda, Tricia, my sisters, Audrey, Mom and people who's birthdays had passed. A VERY advance birthday to Schian too! and my dad ..and people who's birthdays are coming.. So basically, It's Happy Birthday to everyone!!
