Cat's eyes

Same as always.... =.='

2009-07-15T01:55:00.012+01:00

I did say in a couple of weeks back in facebook that I wanna update myself right?? That actually includes updating my blog since it is part of my life...well...a very very very inactive part. But, it's still part of me. Anyhow, I'm not going to talk about how I'm going to "update more" or "blog about every little stuff that's going on from now own" those crap since I never follow any of them. XS

Alot of things had happened since I last blogged...which is months back. And I mean A LOT!!!!

Let's start from the exam..

...

erm..nothing much to say about it. Everybody had gone throught that phase. We just get out butts out of bed to study. Although most of the time, my butt is still in bed =.=

One of the paper was like "OMG!! WHAT THE HECK!!! I dont even remember a single answer!!!" In that time, I'm glad that I had years of training in writting nonsense in exams. This training started when I was in high school..we dont know the answers, we just write anything that comes to mind just to fill up the page. Better than leaving it blank right?

I was SOOOOOOOO sure that I'm gonna fail that module. But I'm probably in luck this year and passed everything!! what a miracle~!! I know that I'm not as hardworking and I must put more effort next year...that's what I always say. =.= Let's drop this topic anyway~

My birthday was right after the exam. I had a bbq party and it turned out to be quite fun~~ I got some presents from friends (Thanks everyone ^^) but I didnt get any golden key from my parents..don't everyone supposed to get a key as a symbol of freedom when we turned 21??

As most ppl know, I went to Britney spear's circus tour 2009 in London. The concert was AMAZING!!!!!!!! She's so pretty and wow~!! The ticket price dont come cheap but it's a once in a lifetime chance!! so what the heck~~ I really enjoyed it...except a big guy that's infront of me...he's blocking part of my view....T.T

Like last year, I stoped by KL then JB once I arrived in Malaysia before I fly back to KK. KL trip was kinda fun~ I finally get to go to Genting!!!! Although we didnt had a chance to play most rides, it's ok..At least I get to experience Genting first hand and not "I never been to genting before oh...but my mom say when I was very very little she got bring me there once la...How the heck will I remember leh?? I was so young..." XD

Now that I'm back in KK, my life mostly consist of working, hanging out with friends and...eating followed by sleeping hahaha I'm so like an old woman...can't stay up late anymore..haiz...

Oh and I'm in love with one of the songs sung by Demi Lovato~ Get Back~ really nice song ^^

That's more or less it~~ for now XP

toodles~~~~~

Destiny ～太陽の花～ by Hitomi Shimatani

2009-04-23T12:07:00.003+01:00

I have no idea why I'm so into this wonderful song so much recently. Won't get bored listening to it. Especially loved the strings playing~ loved loved LOVED it!! Hitomi Shimatani is a great singer. She has a lot of songs that I like~~

I don't understand Japanese but this song rocks!! It's so powerful!

Here's the translation of the song~

Mind...I longed
Find...all that time
Shine...for love
Believe...to be true

Even if sad things rain down on you
Nobody’s going to end up alone
If you look up at the sky in prayer
Loving smiles will envelop you

Get out of the forest of your dilemma, and face it down
Your love is sure to make it through eternity

Rather than thousands of words of love
I’d rather just have you here
Nobody can take your place
Your smile lights my way to tomorrow
To the sun in the sky…

Love...even if we’re apart
Pride...I believe

Amid that limited number of encounters
We were drawn together, tied by a thread
Even on dark nights and stormy mornings
You were the only thing that was real

Now I’m going to open the door of this trauma
I’m sure my eyes even show a little hope

Rather than thousands of love songs
I’d rather have one warmth
Every time I found pain, I took in a tenderness
And I can change that into love
A shining promise in my heart...

If the flowers of the sun bloom in my heart
Then I’m sure one day I’ll get my wish

Rather than thousands of words of love
I’d rather just have you here
Nobody can take your place
Your smile lights my way to tomorrow
To the sun in the sky…

Took it from this website

There is the romaji lyrics available there as well. It's useful if u're trying to learn the song. ^^

Restaurant City

2009-04-22T20:46:00.004+01:00

I was reading Steffie's blog and she mentioned something about this restaurant city by playfish on facebook that i guess she's kinda addicted to it >.< checking in even before her big day....Exam!!

Anyway, I didn't know it was a game until i clicked into it. I'm actually really bad at facebook's applications and all. I have like more than 100 requests which I have no idea what to do about them. But then I still go ahead and started playing this game.

Btw, I learned how to do print screen for this...

So this is a game that you have to run your own restaurant such as hiring friends as workers, yada yada yada... I get most part of the game, but the menu and ingredient thingie still confuses me a lil. How do u get more ingredients if you ran out? and what's up with the locking item thing? and trading stuff?? I don't understand...

So all I did playing this game was step into everyone's restaurant for the first time to get ingredients then wait....wait...wait for the money to come rolling in and up level.

This game is similar to those tycoon games out there and it can be addictive because everyone wanna be rich and successful right? I'm still trying to get a hang out of this game..

Haha Now you know how bored I was for me to play this game and write a blog post about it XD

Movie Marathon

2009-04-19T16:51:00.010+01:00

I couldn't sleep yesterday night so I was searching for a good movie to watch. This was when this whole movie marathon started.

I started with a Disney movie:

1) Tinkerbell (2008).

Since I'm too lazy to download this movie I just watched it on Youtube. It's amazing that Youtube have almost everything!

Moving on,

2) Hotel for dogs

So many dogs! although I'm a cat person, I don't hate dogs and dog movies are not bad to watch. It's so touchy in the end.

Also, It's hard to find a movie based on cats. I mean most of the cat characters are evil in movies. Not all, but some of then do. Does cats look so evil?

3)

I like to move it move it!

Madagascar 2 is here~ It's been here for sometime but I just watch it yesterday so...yeah

I love the first movie and this isn't all that bad. I like baby alex, he's so super cute~~

4) Wall E
I'm not a fan of robots but I heard loads of great review about this movie. It's highly recommended coz they say Wall-E is very cute. Yeah I agree, he is cute~

Disney always does a great job ^^

5) Hannah Montana: The movie

Some of the songs are really nice in this movie. I'm not a Hannah Montana fanatic or something but I don't dislike her as well. Her tv episodes are not bad to watch.

Too bad in this movie there's not much scene with Oliver in it, I mean seriously very little.

And so, I still have a line up of movies to watch but I think I'll give my eyes a break. >.< I hope these movies are not too bad.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I love you, man

Saw the trailer of this movie in the cinema and it looks funny. So I hope it's not disappointing ^^

17 again

and some other movie that my friend downloaded asking me to watch it with her. I don't really know what's the name of the movie but she said that it's not a scary movie so I'm ok with it. ^^

There are still more movies that I wanted to watch. Some action movies are better to watch in the cinema with all the sound effects and stuff. So I'll leave it till then~

New and improved blog

2009-04-08T13:02:00.003+01:00

All I did was change some settings of my blog actually. Added some widget here and there including the music box with my top 5 fav songs...for now.

No big surprise that I like stuff that are kinda dark but I don't wanna get across to be emo and all. So I made it more girlie like...I dont think I'm those girlie girl type but hey, I'm still a girl.

Oh and FYI, I made the header from scratch. Not copy other people's background and add the word "cat's eyes" on to it and called it mine as claimed by "someone".... LOL If you look closely, you can see a pink cat's head in the background. Since this blog IS called cat's eyes, and I'm definately a cat lover, so a cat is a MUST!

To be honest I have no idea what to write. Just wanna post something that says I totally pimp my blog!

Photo Booth

2009-04-06T22:32:00.028+01:00

Never thought that my MACbook's build in camera had any use at all since I'm not a person who uses webcam most of my time. Today I found one really fun application that was readily installed in my laptop, I just didn't know what it was. This app is called Photo Booth. No big supprise there, you probably guessed what it does....Duh.....snap pictures....

So this probably gets you thinking, what's so fun about taking pictures? All you do is camwhore anyway, a digital camera does that too.

Yeah.... but this offers way much more fun in it!

Photo Booth have all these effects that a normal camera doesn't have. OK some more hightech camera does. but mine doesn't so just let me SS and get excited for a little while la..

Ok let's start with the normal ones which are normal, serpia, black and white, and thermal camera. I don't think I need any display of those effects.

This X-ray effect is kinda a normal effect but this pic makes us look scary. LOL

Here comes the superheroes!! do we look comic like?...maybe not...

This is the glow effect..but i dont see me glowing that much.... >.< except being blurry

Colour pencil gives a sketchy feel to it...and I do look like i was drawn~

Pop art~ I was going for Mona Lisa...but I dont think I can pull it off....at all!!

Like all picture effects, this definitely has those background effect like clouds, sunsets, outer space and the list goes on...

The down part is that you can still see some of my room's wall in the pic. Can't get the edges completely covered up.

I think the special part is that the background can move. For example, if u wanna use the roller coaster background, it actually moves as if you are riding a roller coaster and you can see the tract beneath moving. As for the Eiffel tower, there's people walking around and for the ocean fish background, the fish actually swims around. It's kinda cool~

I probably just look stupid...lolz

Here comes pictures of effects that makes the face looks distort like those special effects magic mirror found in house of mirrors in a circus. Although I never been to a circus before, I think that's what you call it..house of mirrors....hmm..

This is one of the normal ones...mirror effect~~

bulge effect~ make your face looks balloon like.

Twirl effect makes face looks twisted @@

Light tunnel effect has nothing special actually LOL

I have no words to describe this dent effect..makes me look like a grumpy fat lady T.T

I have no idea what this fish eye effect does. Probably just make the head looks bigger I guess..

This squeeze effect reminds me of her....
I know the picture is kinda small...She's one of the character from Lat's cartoon Kampung Boy....

Last but not least,

We had the most fun using this effect~~~

Stretch

It can make you look ugly as hell...

reminds me of one of those stone faces...anyone interested in making my face into a stone??

or as cute as a bunny~

in a freakish way...

or as silly as......

well..just plain silly!

LOL

Here concludes the weird and wonderful world of special effects by little old me~~

April fool's day

2009-04-02T17:09:00.010+01:00

Yesterday was a day people tend to tell lies to make others believe in them then they'll go "April fool!!" on ya. Even the local newspaper had a page, "News is a fool's game" where they have a couple of really out there stories to let you guess whether it's true or false. I'm not the kinda person who goes out tricking people but I was tricked by someone. It's nothing major and it was before April fool's day according to my time. So I'll just let it slide....

Anyway, I had a professional community placement in someplace really kampung like but looks really nice and peaceful.

Seriously, this place is hard to get to. You have to take the metro (something like a train) for about half an hour, take a bus for like 45 mins then walk to the place which takes....2 minutes according to the travel planner. Me and my partner, Danielle (good thing we had partners coz I forgot to bring my phone and I did some pretty dumb stuff. Without her help I would have no idea how the day's going to turn out) left the house before 11.30am which is super early coz the placement wont start until 2pm. We wanna make a good impression so we decided to depart early.

Before that, I dressed up REALLY professional...

see how professional I looked?? <3>

and make sure I had everything: my little placement book to record stuff, water bottle, lip gloss, camera, purse and all other improtant things (I wish!).

Oh, even the day before, I shorten and did a seam on the bottom of my pants.

Yes, I do sew. Not pro la but this looks pretty darn good for an unskillful person like me. ~~I'm so proud of myself~~~ >.<
Anyhow, took the metro and the bus, everything was fine but we don't actually know which bus stop to get down. We think we're so gonna be fine since we're like half and hour early. So we asked for some directions and got down the stop that was mentioned by the bus driver and locals. We started walking and searching for the pharmacy (of course!). We were so like tourist taking pictures along the way. LOL we walk and walk....and walk........15 minutes has passed and we are in the middle of nowhere!

and so we had to call the pharmacy and someone came to pick us up by car. Turns out it was just like 2-3 min walk from the bus-stop we dropped off. WTH!! we were too busy being "tourist" that we just walk passed the pharmacy. But we got there just in time ^^ Woohoo~~

The placement went great! we went to the doctors, interviewing patients, doing more pharmacy stuff......... =.= I'll just jump to 5pm....

As we were heading to the bus-stop, a bus just arrived so we ran to catch a bus. (I finally experienced running to catch a bus as seen on TV. That's tough work!)

I bought another one way ticket back since I forgot to buy a return before. You know how much it cost me?!? a one way ticket cost 3.30 pounds and i think a return just cost about 3.80 pounds. I had to pay 6.60 pounds for the whole return bus fair thanks to my forgetfulness! And I didn't bring enough money coz I thought I wouldn't use so much that day. Where the heck can you find a cash machine in a place like that? Haiz...I had to borrow some money from Danielle to cover the rest of my bus fares. darn!! When can I stop being a clutz!

The day was not over coz we were rushing to get to dance classes. Finally got time to relax after the class so we went out to have dinner before returning home.

That's my April fool's day to ya~~

Not funny at all!!

Girl's money are so easy to earn

2009-03-26T19:34:00.018Z

Let's start today's life story of mine with what I ate for breakfast. I used to skip breakfast but then due to the fact of wanting to keep fit and stay healthy, breakfast is a must!

I normally do not complain eating breakfast but once you start eating something like this...

think again!

This healthy breakfast consist of milk and my favourite cereal, kelloggs special K: strawberry and chocolate cereal. This combination is great but the nasty thing was the weetabix that was added in it. It was recommended by my doctor who says that this is very high in fiber and very good for health. The only problem is it's tasteless and yucky! Although they are good for health, they are bad for my taste buds.

This is so hard to swallow.

Moving on, I do not have any classes today so I went to the bridges (a shopping center in Sunderland) with Yin Ning thinking of buying a birthday present for a friend of ours who helped us a lot with our computer problems. Its been a long time since I shopped for stuff and I feel so alive! so relax! so happy~

Anyway, we were supposed to shop for a present but who know for no reason we started looking at our own clothes, shoes, bags, scarfs...the list just goes on and on....

I know that I have a serious case of eyebags under my eyes but I will never guessed that I will have fine lines around my eyes too! It's still not wrinkles yet (I hope not >.<) but I'm getting older by the minute!! Ppl with dry skin gets old quicker than ppl with oily skins. My skin is super dry so if I don't start taking care of my skin now, it'll be too late when my first wrinkle pops out and I don't wanna have wrinkles in my early twenties! Therefore, we looked at skincare products and before I know it. I went out boots carrying little bags of skincare products from Clinique.

This is what I got. An all about eyes eye cream and a moisture surge hydration cream. I was just gonna buy the eye cream but there's an offer I simply couldn't resist!

How adorable! It's so totally worth it right? this little pack comes with a facial wash, eye makeup remover, mascara, age defence moisturiser, blended face powder and foundation worth more than 80 pounds! That's what the board says but you have to buy 2 products from Clinique. So there goes the hydration cream! I know I know, these are all part of their sales scheme and such. But...but...this is super cute! and I'm a girl....must have...!

Then naturally I bought a couple of clothes and a scarf. Maybe it's because I haven't been out shopping for a long time so I went crazy on buying stuff!

There's a top I wanna return later since I'm not such a big fan of it. Maybe I'll exchange it for something more of my liking. Anyhow, I bought it just because you can get 2 for 30 pounds and thus saving about 10 pound. I'm a sucker for discounts and offers. T.T

I particularly love the jacket. Got it for 24 pounds. So totally worth it! and the scarf is so damn cute!

After a couple of attempt taking pics using the mirror. I tried using the timer on my camera so I can just stand in from of the camera waiting for a shot. I was amazed by the camera!

I was not prepared at all but it makes me I look like a model in this first shot. LOL maybe not...

heh~ 5 foot gal having some fun playing model cam whoring that's all... >.<

My dad's so gonna kill me if he knew that I spent almost 150 pounds today because I was going to buy a birthday present for my friend but ending up buying clothes for myself. So did we get a present in the end? Nah..the birthday party got postponed so we figured we'll buy it later but we did spot something that might potentially be the gift that's most suited~ I would say mission partially completed?

So in conclusion, female's money is so damn easy to earn!

I'm a living proof.

I just LOVE my snacks~

2009-03-25T23:37:00.011Z

Snacks snacks snacks~ I love my snacks~~

Those snacks I'm referring to are not particularly healthy snacks like cereal bars or digestive biscuits. I'm referring to....

JUNK FOOD!!

I know it's kinda unhealthy, but I just can't get over my cravings for them~! Sometimes I even skipped dinner and all I eat was what people called "Junk" that are not gonna do any good to your health. But for me, they are consider tasty treats~~

It's been a long long time since I bought chocolate of some sort because I know I'm gonna stuff my face with all those treats and skip meals and I'm gonna be malnourished and bla bla bla... but it's been months! cut me some slacks....just for this week.

I'm gonna go back to my healthy diet right after I finish all these snacks. *munch munch munch*

OK, let's start with me having a sweet tooth who just love anything that has caramel in it. Caramel are actually just burnt sugar but I still love them~

For today I just had my Haagen daz cappuccino caramel truffle~ yeay!!

such a simple girl who gets excited before eating ice-cream. That's how my life is "Simple = Happiness" and ice-cream makes a person happy, so does chocolates.

and Twix bar~ It has a layer of caramel in between the biscuit and the chocolate ^^

I used to eat Mars bars (which I think you guys would have guessed, have a layer of caramel in it too) but not so often now.

I do have some slightly healthier options...like seaweed and rice crackers (think this is how u call them in English? I don't know the name for them >.< ) but they sure do taste yummy~

Last but not least.....

Salted plum??

Summer vacation

2009-03-15T15:02:00.003Z

I just booked my plane ticket back to Malaysia this June~ Can't wait to spent my summer holidays back home!!

My plan for this vacation is probably like last year's. Spend some time in KL first, probably a week or so, then go down to Johor to find my dad and spend another week or so there. Finally fly back to KK with dad. This way I don't have to find another date and fly to KL for a short shopping spree and to meet my best friends~ not to mention delicious food...or my mom's simple home cooking. Anything's better than my own cooking >.<

I'm so excited!!

but first I have to go through my finals T.T meaning I have to start cramping on books soon.... That, I don't look forward to at all!

JLS

2009-03-04T19:16:00.009Z

I have no idea why I always update my blog really slow. Usually almost one week later than the event occurs. Its not that I don't wanna write and tell the world about it. I will be like " Ok..I will write about this and that tomorrow." then tomorrow comes and I repeat the same sentence again. This is probably why I never get things done in time. -_-

Anyway, JLS from XFactor came to Sunderland Campus bar about a week ago. Can you believe it? they actually came to Sunderland. Last time Duncan James from the boy band Blue came as well. Its kinda fun watching celebrities perform. As I'm living with a tight budget right now, the entrance fee is kinda expensive even after student discount. Not as expensive as a concert ticket I believe but still cost me some money. All is kinda worth it as you dont see celebrities all the time right? This might be a once in a life time chance!

As usual, some pics of the event~

I know the quality is kinda crappy since I forgot to bring my camera. All I had is my so called "5 megapix" cellphone camera. Doesn't look that great to me. But as ppl say: "When you get rice, make porridge." I gotta use what I have.

JLS sings umbrella by Rihanna pretty nice~ They rock it! And some other songs that are hot as well~ The music that day is not just loud, its SUPER LOUD!!

After that gig, I probably gone deaf. You can't even listen to what you friends are shouting about without the buzzing sound in your ears. Good thing it got better after a while. This kinda stuff is seriously damaging my ears. I might need ear plugs next time, hopefully it doesn't look weird XD

Too bad we don't get a chance to take a picture with JLS. Only some lucky fans get to meet them during the signature or photo taking sessions. We missed it coz its kinda tiring standing there for hours waiting for them to arrive. Not to mention being sleepy. LOL It's past midnight and I want my beauty sleep!

Next stop, Britney Spears world tour in London!! Britney is not coming to me so I'm going to her! I better start saving now >.<

Britney, HERE I COME!!

Downgraded English

2009-02-28T16:31:00.005Z

People say that studying abroad will improve your English. Yes, its supposed to happen that way and it did happened before to me. But recently I just feels like my English is not going anywhere. Probably caused by me talking less English with people, reading less and less English books (who am I kidding, I don't even read books from other languages!). So you ask how the heck do I not talk English often? I'm in the UK for crying out loud!

The place I'm staying now had nothing to do with this. Maybe a little bit but does not affect greatly. People I hang out with? DEFINITELY!

Since I mostly hang out with Malaysians, the language that we speak is mainly Mandarin+English+some other language including Malay. That's what makes us Malaysian. Even our language have to be added with that Malaysian flavour.

Speaking wise, I can say that my English usually ends with lots of -la, -bah, -lo, -ah, you name it, I say it. We all Malaysians do. Sometimes even lost of words to express what I wanna say because we usually "translate" what we wanna say from our mother tongue. Then we'll go like "erm..erm...how do you say this?" and then ask other friends "what the English word for this ah?".

The worst part is my writing. I can speak and understand some vocabulary no problem but my spelling is like a high school student who never paid attention in English class. I usually just right click the word that have red squiggly lines beneath it if I I'm using Microsoft words. Sometimes I even have to google the word in order to check my spelling. That's how bad my spelling goes. I lost confidence in it now T.T even if I spelled something correct I have to double check it with my teacher - google!

If my mom know that my English had been downgraded, she's gonna kill me.

Now I wanna go ~~makan~~ and have my dinner. Gonna make myself a nice sandwich ^^ So I'll just stop here. Somethings just never gonna change...

About 1 hour to go!!

2009-02-23T23:20:00.004Z

I got nothing to do, nothing to write, nothing to watch at the moment. Although I have notes in front of me that I have to study for my Friday test, I just wanna watch one of my favourite tv shows! I'm still waiting it to be downloaded using torrent because Megaupload's megamanager does not work on this laptop so I'll just use torrents from now on. Torrents are always so slow! already 84% still need about 1 hour to download...

I'll just talk something about my favourite show. It's called Ghost Whisperer and its about a woman who can talk to spirits, or what people usually called ghosts. Its actually not scary at all (apart from the opening song..that's a little scary). Melinda (played by Jeniffer Love Hewitt) helps the ghosts trapped between worlds wandering around resolve unfulfilled aspects of their former life. Some stories are quite touchy~ but some ghost are just evil and scary!

Well, that's probably about it. You have to watch it to find out whether its ur type of show. I have no idea why I like it. I just do. It's a pretty nice show to be honest~

And another thing, I passed my numeracy test!! WOOHOOO!!!! I don't have to re-sit the test! I'm so happy~~

I just wanna pass my test lah!

2009-02-19T14:05:00.002Z

We had this Numeracy test yesterday where we had to do all sorts of calculation questions. Sounds normal for Pharmacy course? Yeah I think so...

But there's a catch....

We are NOT allowed to use calculators!!

and the passing mark is 70%!!!

Come on, its hard enough to do the calculations without calculators. We even have to finish 18 questions in 1 hour (technically its 50 minutes) and they are not 1 + 1 = ? type questions. Talk about racing with time.

We did had a mock test a couple of weeks before and I totally flunked it. I didn't had time to even finish. I know I know..too dependent on calculators. But that's what calculators are for. It helps us to do those multiply extract stuff to save time. Boy my math sucks without a calculator!

Now, I just wanna pass so don't have to re-sit the test!! >.<

Valentine's party for the singles and alone

2009-02-17T21:38:00.021Z

I wonder why I am blogging today. I know I have 2 test and a presentation coming up tomorrow but somehow I just don't feel like studying at all. But I seriously hope that I won't fail the tests. I'll complain about the test later but now, let be talk about something fun.

Sunderland is a boring and tiny town (its a city but it looks like a town with nothing in it) Anyway, this year's valentine's day is somewhat different. A couple of friends decided to celebrate valentines in a KTV restaurant in Newcastle. So we all went down to Newcastle and had some fun doing what ppl do in KTVs...Singing, eating, drinking ( btw, we dont drink alcohol so we drink chinese tea and orange juice), and what else? taking pictures?

That's probably it.

I know..i know..we were hungry!

Most of the dishes served there are spicy like 8 out of 10 of them. And they don't have desserts!! What restaurant do not serve desserts? not even fruits!!

Ouh yeah! the alone part in the title does not mean that we live a sad and lonely life being single and all. Its just that there's 2 guys there have girlfriends but their girlfriends are in Malaysia or someplace else. So they are literally alone on valentine's day.

The rest of the post are probably gonna be just pictures.. Pictures says a thousand words right?

Zhong, Xiao and Ren class ex-STTSS students~

After some time, ppl get tired and us girls starting to camwhore. We were darn bored.

Some of this pics are so totally gonna ruin my reputation but what the heck, we're just fooling around. Yet I wondered why we dont get bfs...........now I know. lol

Pros and cons about owning a MAC

2009-02-13T12:10:00.002Z

Wah, the title like wanna write what karangan like that. But i'm not that good at writing so just simply write what I wanna say. Its my blog anyway..its not assessed!

Pros:
1. Apple MACbook sounds so high class.
Its true. peple used to go like "Wah..Apple oh...So rich..." but now its not that rare anymore. and its not that expensive too. Some other brand laptops are more expensive lo with those very very large screen and very very good speed and graphic high-tech stuff. Its not like I wanna show off or something but I bought this apple because it comes with a 3 year warrenty. That's the main reason...part of it is coz it looks nice also la and I've always wanted to own an Apple ^^

2. Easy to use
Even if the MAC OS is totally different and sounds hard to use..turns out its not hard to use at all. It has many short cuts and spaces to do ur work on. Make it looks like u're not opening too many apps at one time. so I'm happy with it but still need some getting used to though~

3. can set timer to let laptop go to sleep
I dont know whether u can do this using other laptops but I think this is really nice since it saves energy and my laptop wont get overheated so easily and broke like last one.

4. can install 2 OS
they say Apple can do it but I still havnt got mine installed with an windows XP..still waiting...

Cons:
1. Lots of programms cannot install!
I used to have this programme where u can straight away download songs from it and listen to them. The programme is called sogou musicbox. It even shows the lyrics of the songs. there's a lot of song available but I cant use it because its only for windows. Now I donno where to find songs to listen to la except youtube.

Another programme is for torrent downloads called xunlei. The speed is superfast and can download stuff just like tat *click*. I dont know why its faster than any other downloaders and I really like it even if its in chinese and a lot of words I have no idea what are they.

Last but not least is Megaupload! Sure I can download using megaupload but then I can't use the download manager that allows user to pause and do multiple downloads. Even with a premium account its not that useful anymore. T.T

2. No anti-virus?
Bible told me that Apple itself is like anti-virus like that. very good protection. I dont know la..just listen to the comp pro lo. So my laptop now dont have any anti-virus. Hopefully I wont get virus. If not I donno how to fix la..

I think i'll just stop here since I dont really know what to write anymore and I have class in half an hour >.<

Why cannot post comments ah?

2009-02-13T11:04:00.002Z

Today I was supposed to attend lectures but then I over slept so nevermind la. I havnt been to lectures for weeks anyway >.< wonder what I missed~ O.o probably a bunch load of stuff!!

Ok forget about me skipping lectures but then I was reading through amanda's blog and then I was thinking of leaving some comments for her. Since her bf is on TV and stuff. Its a BIG thing ya know~ not everyone can be on tv and amanda's right, we're used to it but we dont keep any newspapers talking about us....I mean...our club.

So I was gonna leave a comment by clicking on the comment button then "post a comment" something like that. Nothing came out! A little window was supposed to pop up and then u can write stuff in it. Now I am wondering whether there's something wrong with my comp or the blogger web is just sot sot la. One other possibility is they change a new system and I totally dont know how to use it?!

Everything new in 2009!

2009-02-09T00:09:00.008Z

Since my laptop broke on January, my dad gave me the permission to buy a new one! I'm so happy about it~ not that my old lappie is lanci or anything but it is more than 2 years old. Anyway, look what I got!!

Apple Macbook!!

I'm so so happy~ it not only looks higtech, it is VERY hightech. Up until now I still dont really know how to use it. hahahaa >.< but at least I can use the internet and do some of my work. So complicated learning can wait.

Student life without internet is like hell! suddenly feel so lost and full of nothingness. Life is so sad back then..

Good thing I have my Nintendo DS lite with me! I bought it in the end of the year last year to congrats myself for doing such a good work on my first job~ Atleast I didnt quit! part of it is also an early Christmas present for myself. (OMG! sounds like i have no life at all..i'll probably end up an old woman alone with 27 cats T.T)

so it also consider as a new thing for 2009 ^^

I love my ds~ its a Pokemon limited edition console. I was thinking of buying the Pikachu yellow one but that is hard to buy and very expensive. Anyhow, I'm happy with mine ^^

I also upgraded my cellphone to an LG viewty~ Since its for free with my phone contract with Orange, why not! I was thinking of upgrading it to the Sony Ericsson 8megapix cellphone but that I'll need to pay extra..like 100+ pounds more? Its so not worth it~

It's purple~ How pretty.

Hmm..what else I've got?

A Samsung monolaser printer! I bought this because my old printer is starting to get a lil sot sot and the ink is so darn expensive. Cost me a fortune just to change the ink! Laser printer print much faster and dont need to change the toner so soon anyway (the description says it can print up to 800 pages, so lets wait and see~) It only print black colour but i'm ok with it. I use it to print notes and uni stuff, no need to high quality la..

That's about everything new in my life!

heh..no wonder I'm broke!! and its only the beginning of February :S

Lost forever..sob sob

2009-02-08T15:02:00.002Z

After I came back to UK I received a call from my Mom one day. She say that my favourite cat (remember the siamese?) is lost!!

This is SO major!

I was like "what if he never come back?" "What if he got hurt?" "Will he starve?" so many questions gone through my mind.....until now, he still havnt come home.

So he's probably lost forever T.T

...or he found a better owner..if he did, i'm so gonna snatch him back after I go back to Malaysia!

Time to get back into the game!

2009-02-08T14:24:00.003Z

I think its time to get back into blogging since i've been away for like what...4 months? There are a couple of reasons for not posting anything..

1. I was busy?
can anyone believe that I was actually busy this year? Amanda was right..2nd year is not a free year at all. I used to be like so care free all the time and do assignments last minutes but this is so not gonna happen this year..or next year! or the year after!! T.T assignments, test, reports, placements..argh!! so much to do in so little time...seems that way..
I still do skip couple of lectures reason being "rushing report", "preparing presentation la..tomorrow need to present"..and some other so called "used-to-it" reasons but actually I'm just taking a short leave for relaxation..cannot be too tense all the time la. Some of the reasons are REAL!
Anyway, I start doing my reports and assignments kinda early now..like a few day before hand in date. Ow I'm so proud of my hard working self. (tears~)

2. No laptop how to blog...
My old laptop broke on January (so hok la..New Year just arrive then laptop broke) Its like I lost in touch with the world. No internet, no movies, no music, NOTHING! so kasian la that week T.T but good thing I have my DS lite with me going through my down time. And never once in my life I've been so willing to do my assignments so much ahead from the hand in date..and in the library too!

3. Lost the link due to laptop broke?
This is just stupid..its my own blog!

4. Lazy
This is much more realistic. Sometimes I just dont know what to write and after sometime of thinking. I just gave up saying "Lazy to write la!"

5. I just forgot
After a few attemps of donno what to write I probably just...forgot

But now i'm back and this is probably the time to continue blogging. Hopefully I will stick to it from now on >.<

Lousy boots!

2008-10-19T12:24:00.006+01:00

I bought a pair of nice little leather boots from Malaysia and it looks like good quality when I bought it.

It's quite comfortable as well.

But one day I wore it for a whole day. Just for ONE whole day. This happens...

The skin starts coming off! I dont know whether its supposed to come off that way. I don't think any shoes does that.

It's a good thing this is black in colour or it'll really show.

Yet again..this boots cost me RM 100++ la! Not cheap at all.

What a rip off!

clumsy me

2008-10-19T12:02:00.003+01:00

I have no idea what happened to me. I get loads of bruises in these past few weeks.

I got bruises on my thigh and my knees. And I have to rub it hard to get the obvious blue black to disappear. Why am I so clumsy that I injure myself so much? Pain is not fun at all!

Mirror mirror on the wall

2008-10-11T00:02:00.005+01:00

I finally found a decent almost full length mirror! Now I can say bye bye in using that small facial mirror to see whether I dress ok or not. Ofcourse I will still use that small mirror for my face, but having a bigger mirror feels so much nicer and I'm actually really really excited.

Tada!!

I have no idea what I'm excited about actually..It's just a mirror. But look at it! Aww...it looks pretty doesn't it. It has some design on its side too. Compared to this..

It's so freaking small

Imagine how I get dressed using that for the last 2 weeks.

Ouh! and guess how much that bigger mirror cost? Only 5 pounds! Consider that super cheap since most of the full length mirror cost almost or more than 20 pounds here.

I'm totally satisfied. *nod nod*

Life as a second year student

2008-10-05T08:28:00.002+01:00

My life as a Sunderland Uni student started like a week ago, but everyone knows that the first day of school is the busiest day of the year (except exam time where you have to find out what will come out in the exam and study a couple piles of stuff). Actually my timetable is not that busy on the first week, but running here and there applying for stuff and buying your daily necessity kinda occupies yours free time just like that *click*.

The first thing I have to do before everything is to unpack my boxes of things and put them into their appropriate places to make my room look bigger and neat. Well, my room is kinda small (i mean really small) compared to the two BIG rooms that are occupied by seniors. Can't do anything about it anyway, they are older and they live longer in this house than me. ^^ Okie, everythings fine until somethings really sucks about my room. I TOTALLY HATE IT!

Here are the 5 things I hate about my room (for now):

1. The heater

Its so far away from my bed that its warm in the other end of my room but freezing where my bed is situated. The main controls are downstairs, which means that people can switch it off without you noticing and freeze like a ball of ice. But that problem has already been solved. I just bought myself a little electric heater so now I can have my room warm and cozy at all times. This sounds great but I'll see what happens when the electric bill comes out. I'll have to pay like shit.

2. Bookshelf

Well, I don't have anything much to say about this because I dont even have one. Good thing the desk is very big, if not where will I put those heavy books that I won't usually read?

3. Mirror

This is major! no mirrors at all!! The mirror here are not like RM30 and you get a nice full length mirror. It'll cost you so so SOOO much more.Now I just bought a small mirror just enough to see my face and at least I know that my hair doesn't look like crap when I go out. Other that that, the landlord have this stupid weird rule about punching holes on the wall or even stick a hook on. All I can use is those blue sticky tack thingie that dont even hold heavy stuff (if you consider stuff heavier than paper are heavy). I SO need a bigger mirror right now. You know its hard to use the small mirror to see whether what your wearing matches or not. So, mirror are very very important.

4. The rack that's holding the bed....bedstand?

Ok, that thing suck right now. I demand the landlord to change a new one for me. Unfortunately, he's on holiday....go figures. One corner of the rack thing is already broken and there's nails sticking out of it. I haven't notice it before but right after it torn my new expensive bedsheet, I definately noticed. That thing is really dangerous and I'm affraid that the whole thing might collapse while I was sleeping on it. That would hurt.

5. The bed!

not only the rack thing sucks, the bed sucks too! I think its like too old or something. I can feel the springs on my back. For now I've placed a thick mattress protector over it so I wouldn't have backach when I wake up in the morning. The bed I can live with but the rack thingie that holds it, I totally can't!

Crisis

2008-09-17T11:22:00.003+01:00

Packing my luagage was and still is a very very difficult task since I couldn't decide what to bring and what to let go. My check in luggages are already over weight by 2kg and I think MAS will let it pass but I really wanna bring more...so much more. Call me stingy but we'll see who gets the last laugh when you can't find shoes to match your outfit or a cute little sweater to match your shirt.

I'll just have to hope that MAS will let me through with the baggage over weight. I can let go with some of my clothes I think. About 70% of my clothes are hand carried because I can't fit all of them in my luggage but I give up bringing some of my clothes right after I find the perfect leather boots. Still looking..

Currently I don't really have much clothes packed because I have to bring more important stuff like bed sheet, books and towels ect. Apparently there are more important things than my bags and shoes. Hahaha ^^ but now I couldn't even bring cans of tuna with me T.T

Since my dad already forbid me to buy more bags (my parents thinks I spend too much money on bags.) I will only bring 4 bags to the uk. The bags I'm ok with...its the shoes I'm a bit sad about. Because of 3 stupid heavy books that weight 8kg, I couldn't bring any extra clothes or shoes with me! WTF I dont even read that much!! like heck I will study all 3 books everyday! Argh!!

apparently my job is to study right now so I'll bear with it. I have to...daddy said so. And ofcourse, I'm mature enough to understand it. Hahahaa~

Family time

2008-09-11T03:53:00.008+01:00

Since I'm going to leave Malaysia soon, spending time with my family is my priority. I can't even imagine that I'm not gonna see them for at least 2 years. I'm gonna miss them lots..even my bratty sister.

Guess what we did for our family time..

I would personally choose to go shopping but bowling is kinda fun with my family.

Grandpa's there too but he can't bowl..

So I'm just happy to spend time with them...every second I can...for now.

Cat show 2008 Kota Kinabalu

2008-09-05T16:33:00.010+01:00

I totally forgot to write about the cat show that I was so eager to go. Heh..let's face it..there's nothing much to write about. I'm just a crazy cat lover who loooooove cats so much that I think that its so exciting. Lame -__- i know...and I have to pay rm5 for the entrance fee. I've been robbed T.T We're not even allowed to touch the cats!

But I have to say, those cats are beeeeautiful!

most of tham are fat.. seriously thay have a weight problem. Do cats suffer from heart attacks?

Even with an attitude.

Anyhow, I still love cats A LOT! Cats rule the planet and.... erm..that's all I came up with.

I'm going to bed.

Planning Ahead

2008-09-05T09:13:00.009+01:00

September 23rd..I will be leaving Malaysia to Sunderland..again. But this time, I'm not taking emirates straight away to Newcastle. I'm taking a non-stop flight to London then change to an domestic flight to Newcastle. So what can I do on the 14 hours non-stop flight to London? Surely I cant move around much. And why not just sleep through out the flight? I can't..It departs KL at 10am in the morning and by then I would be done crashing in my aunt's place.

That's why I've started a little plan to pass my time.

My fashion and celebrity 38 magazines are definately a must.

I have a thing for winter/fall wears. I'm just not so into summer beach wears because ~~I dont have a super hot body~~...UK is freezing cold la..how to wear?! so just forget about it.

yet I can't be bringing all of my comics and magazines for sure..I have weight problems to consider.

SO.... I was thinking of buying some light but fun stuff to pass my time.

This brain teaser cube was yet to be bought but its a great way to spend your time. So cube is part of my plan ^^

The next thing would be so cool if I really had one.

either this..

or this..

I don't think my parents are gonna buy me one. Its not cheap and I already had a wii...come to think of it..why a wii? I can't even bring it to uk!! T.T total regret.....

my cousin said that the nintendo DS will suit me better cause I'm not a hardcore gammer. But either one would be awsome.

and..

plus a blanket so that I can Zzz...

(She seriously need to be washed..seriously. Heh..I'll do that tomorrow~)

5kg more stuff

2008-08-26T15:15:00.000+01:00

I finally did a rough weighing of my luggage that I'm gonna bring to UK with and it comes up to about only 12kg! well..plus the 3 textbooks then it'll be about 15kg. Since the weight limit for MAS is 20kg, I have 5kg more left. I'm so happy~ I've been wanting to buy a pair of shoes I saw in vincci. And a pair of leather boots but that will have to wait because I havn't saw any that I like. I need a new speakers too..mine was already broken. Hmm..Now I'm practically broke so I'll have to wait for my dad to come back and shoes, HERE I COME!

Another bad luck...

2008-08-25T04:37:00.005+01:00

I was on Air Asia plane back to KK and I bought a cup of Teh Tarik what reading my Galaxie Magazine. But then I accidentally knocked the cup down and spilled it all over the seat. The teh tarik on my pants was hot. Even inside of my handbag, my magazine, my jeans..everything! Good thing I have my luggage handcarried but still its kinda strange to change clothings on the plane. And I dont have any jeans left so I have to change into a skirt...my legs were freezing all the way back to KK.

These are just some stuff I have teh tarik all over~

Grandpa can shop without getting tired

2008-08-16T07:39:00.003+01:00

My grandpa can finally shop without getting tired a lot and we can save the "yam cha" money everytime he got tired.

We call it his super chair. Its a transit wheelchair that can be folded and carried in a carrying bag. My grandpa likes to push it himself because he say its more stable than a tongkat and he can walk faster. The best part is...he can sit on the chair when he's tired!

Back and here to stay!....for now

2008-08-15T17:44:00.004+01:00

I wasn't in KK for the past week because I've been forced to go to Batu Pahat, Johor with my dad and grandpa to do some "work" there since I'm not doing anything at all in KK. Actually I don't do much there either, just taking care of grandpa, doing some office work that's all. What a waste of money to fly there for nothing. Anyway, now I'm finally back I'm not planning to go anywhere except going back to UK later on September.

I just came back tonight and moments later I was here typing my way in to a new post. And there will be loads more to come! (While writing I needed to restart my laptop caused of some reason, then I fell asleep..so I'm continuing it right now XD)

Before I write what happens in JB, here's what I did BEFORE I went away. It's old news but I'm gonna talk about it anyway. = b

Ever heard of chinese medical doctors right? I bet you do. They are quite famous around asian countries and chinese people tend to seek treatment from them a lot. Chinese medicine treats a person as a whole and not aching parts of your body. Remember my twisted ankle? I visited a chinese doctor before I went to JB. I thought chinese doctors just rub on some herbal oil and gives a massage. Little do I know....

He treats my ankle by finding the problem vain and starts hitting it saying it will "loosen the vain". That hurts a lot la! see..big blue black mark. But since I was practically screaming my head off, he cut me some slacks. So its not that seriously bruised. My mom laughed at me and said: "you paid someone to be beaten up". T.T heh...........suan liao la..the bruise is gone but the twisted pain is still there.

Detour

2008-07-30T14:00:00.005+01:00

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

2008-07-30T11:42:00.002+01:00

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

2008-07-30T10:11:00.000+01:00

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

2008-07-30T08:08:00.001+01:00

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

2008-07-30T06:08:00.000+01:00

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

Oops!

2008-07-29T11:55:00.000+01:00

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!

2008-07-26T17:20:00.000+01:00

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?

2008-07-25T10:24:00.000+01:00

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.....!!

2008-07-24T07:32:00.000+01:00

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!

2008-07-24T04:32:00.001+01:00

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!

2008-07-23T16:42:00.000+01:00

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!!!

2008-07-19T05:44:00.000+01:00

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....

2008-07-19T05:22:00.000+01:00

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?

2008-07-16T13:40:00.001+01:00

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!

2008-07-16T13:21:00.000+01:00

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

2008-07-16T13:04:00.000+01:00

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

2008-07-15T15:11:00.000+01:00

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

2008-07-14T17:27:00.000+01:00

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

2008-07-09T14:35:00.000+01:00

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

Tape the kitty XD

2008-07-09T10:12:00.000+01:00

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!!!!!

2008-07-07T14:03:00.000+01:00

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

2008-07-06T13:13:00.000+01:00

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

2008-07-04T12:17:00.000+01:00

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!!

I don't wanna die early!!

2008-06-28T16:28:00.001+01:00

I was sufing the net today since I was really really really bored trying to see something weird or read some interesting facts. Then i came across something from the so called "funny facts" that really caught my attention because it has something to do with me. ^^

"Left-handed people live slightly shorter lives than right-handed people."

Ok, I know we shouldn't trust anything form the internet unless the information is from a really reliable source. But i wouldn't take any chances for this one because i'm a lefty myself. All my sisters are left-handed.

So I googled "left-handed life span" and found some information about it. Apparently research showed statistics that are true to the fact that left-handed people often die early due to sickness and they have approx. 7-9 years shorter life span than right-handed people. Then I also read something about the left-handed women having shorter life spans. Reading all those REALLY starts to worry me. i mean...I DON'T WANNA DIE EARLY!

Then I continue my search and read that this fact have been proven wrong and the experiments done is not of 'good quality', so the conclusions are not likely to be valid. Plus, people back in my parents days are "trained" to use their right hand to write and so they are forced to "become right-handers" (Just like my mom. Now she writes with her right hand but does everything else left-handed). So i think this make the statistics not accurate at all. Another problem with this hypothesis is the lack of an explanation of how handedness shortens life. If i learn to write with both hands doesn't mean that I can live double my lifetime, right?

Phew!! I'm relief now..This hypothesis is really weak so all i need to do now is enjoy life to the fullest! yeay~ i'm proud to say i'm a left-handed gal (actually I never said that it was a bad thing >.< )

Birthday presents!!

2008-06-23T12:30:00.000+01:00

Since I am really bored today, I'm gonna say something about the b'day presents I received this year. Its probably better than writing about what i bought in KL or what i did today (which is nothing by the way). It doesnt look much but i'm really happy since i dont think i even get presents last year. Poor poor me T.T

This river island bag is really pretty. I like the bigger version one too. But i dont think they sell it. Its only for display T.T

Schian gave me this particular present which is really cute. It's a cat paw!!

This looks almost identical to the real deal ^^ Check it out

Lun gave me this blue Disney Mickey MP3 player. Its sooooo cute!!! My little MPlayer ~

I love all my presents!! So I would like to thank the people who gave me these wonderful gifts. Thank you thank you thank you Schian, Amanda, Lun, Audrey, Yin Ning, Jourdan, Sze Pei (I left your present in UK. So sorry) and Dai Lou Chung Hou! I could never repay you guy's awsomeness!! hahah XD

Trip to Edinburgh

2008-06-23T06:49:00.000+01:00

I've been living in England for like one and a half years but the only place i went holiday is Edinburg, Scotland. I haven't even been to London!! I am planning to ge there some day. Will have to find a right time... Ok ok back to Edinburg, its a fun place and have lots of buildings to see (half of them i dont even know the names so i'm gonna use the help of wikipedia >.<)

We start our holiday with Starbucks!!

A really HUGE cup of hot chocolate for me! hahaha ^^

Then we continue with our sight seeing

This is a famous church. And.............thats all i know about it >_<

I think this is some little building in front of the church. I dont even know what it's for. But my friends are fooling around. ^^

The Scott Monument~

The park near Scott Monument

Some street with some guy (don't ask me, I have no idea)

Then the Edinburgh Castle!!

Finally, shopping!!!!!!

Erm..i dont have pictures of me shopping but I took this in a souvenir shop. So there~

Since we're in scotland, we HAVE to take these pictures. Just something to remember by, of course.

That was fun. The guys get to wear skirts!!.....i mean kilts >.<

So that's basically the whole trip to Edinburgh. We had fun!! Woohoo~

*luvkitties*

I WANNA GO!!!!!!!

2008-06-22T17:58:00.000+01:00

Amanda was saying something about this musical that was gonna happen in KL sometime in July.

Yeah that's right. Its Disney's Beauty and the Beast musical!!!

I really really really wanna go but it's in KL. Go figure, everything big and cool are always in KL. How come they never come to somewhere smaller, like KK for instance?

Okay, i've seen some of the video posted on youtube and it doesn't really say "Wow" when I watched it. But watching it on my laptop and watching it live have a HUGE difference. I know i wont have the chance to watch it live but I will still say this, "If i have the money and I am in KL, I will definitely go!"

Its not only this musical that I wanna watch. I think there's one high school musical on ice or something as well. I kinda wanna watch it although its not played by the original cast. Wow, if the original cast were to perform, that would be a killer show. It would be a show to die for, and i would be the one dying here since i cant go!!

So KL have a lot of nice stuff going on. I mean concerts, plays, great shopping...u name it. Ouh, and Genting is there too!! I wanna go to genting! I've never been there before. Actually i have when i was really really young (not that i am old now or anything), but i just couldn't remember. Face it, who remembers anything before they are like 5 or something? Up until now the place I really wanna go is Genting (I've been wanting it for years. dont believe me? ask my friends) and I still haven't been there yet. Anyone going to Genting this summer? Bring me!! Bring me!!

*luvkitties*

Bits and pieces of me

2008-06-22T10:42:00.000+01:00

I could write a passage about my past but why do i wanna do that? Everybody knows that i'm a lazy person. Actually, I dont think i'm THAT lazy. I am writing something am I??

In out lives we met a lot of people. Some become our friends and some just become "those people we know". And i know a LOT of people. Well, not a country lot of people, but still a lot for my limited memory space.

These are some of the people i met. There's best friends, friends and family, and people i know. Well..that pretty much says it all.

So the conclusion is, I know people and people knows me. ^^

Great huh??

*luvkitties*

Blog about my life~

2008-06-21T11:04:00.000+01:00

Okie..I was thinking of creating a blog talking about me some time ago, but i kept getting distracted. A lot!!

so finally i sat down in front of my laptop today and really starting to do this blog thing. Before this I have another blog about anime (nyu-anime.blogspot.com)but i was thinking of creating a blog that says something about myself. Even though i totally dont know what to say. I will try to come up with something good. really.

I admit it was really boring here in KK. I dont think i did anything today except lying around, watching TV, playing with my cats and well...eat. I've been really gaining weight. OMG!! I NEED to lose weight. And fast!

Apart from being bored out of my chair and trying to lose weight(today afternoon rained so I couldnt jog at the park. Seriously, I wasnt making this up!) I did look forward to the Hannah Montana 3D concert on disney channel tonight. What can i say, i'm a Disney fan!

A lot of things had changed since the last time i'm at home. New sofa, new massage chair and a new microwave oven!! yeay finally a MICROWAVE!! My family never had a microwave oven before, atleast that what i remembered. So i'm actually excited for it. See how lame i am?

Not to forget about my cats. One of them grew up over this year. He is becoming kinda not that pretty anymore.

This is before......and you dont wanna see the after >.<

This is what i look like if i'm a cat..hahah ^^

One and only *luvkitties*
