back for the summer

2009-07-01T06:24:00.002+01:00

PLENTY of things to do this summer

and best of all, for these 2 and 1/2 months, I don't need to care about studying, except on 20th August onwards that is. However, it's still bloody worth it.

Goals for this summer?

learn the piano
lose weight, at least 4 kgs.
travel!
accessorize my mac :D
RELAX

OH and btw these days I've been pretty busy setting up an online blog shop with Jasmine and Ching theing.

please please check it out :D

the clothes are pretty nice and affordable =)

sabrina.

the clock is ticking.

2009-03-28T15:49:00.003Z

it's unbelievable that

within 5 weeks we'll be sitting for our A2 exams.

and that

within 5 months we'll be going into universities.

we're getting old.

we have so much to decide.

we need to make a hell a lot of choices.

we have so many expectations from our parents, friends. and mostly ourselves.

we'll be separated.

we'll see each other less often.

we may not be as close as before.

we will not have the life we use to have and love.

well i guess it's another step you take in life.

i think it's the stress that's really hitting me.

i'm having my internal exams, and today is the 2nd day and i've realised how screwed i am for my a2 exams, and if i don't work hard, i wont be able to go to ucl.

the offer is AAA btw. so i really have to work hard.

because i'm not gifted. i'm not naturally smart and i don't have a particular talent in any subject.

if i'm not able to meet the offer, i wouldn't want to regret and say that i never work enough to achieve what i had.

i want to do the best i can.

oh god i sound so bloody emo.

shit. i have to study shit shit....

sabrina.

(p.s this blog will remain untouched until the summer when i finish my exams, sorry :D )

the worst. hangover ever.

2009-02-15T14:18:00.002Z

man..i feel like throwing up. i've spent my valentines day drunk. and this is probably the worst hangover i have ever had.

and i crave for greasy food.

GIMME A CHEESE BURGER...

oh btw,

well i'm one day late. i was suppose to write this post yesterday but never got the time.

but happy belated valentine's day.

i used to love having lots of presents on valentines day.

a bouquet of roses.

a huge teddy bear which has cheesy lines on it.

chocolates.

candy.

you get the drift.

but come to think of it. valentine's day is suppose to be a day to celebrate your love for someone. it doesn't need to be symbolized with all the stupid gifts, fancy presents.

all you need is each other on that day.

my ideal valentine's day last time. was like

in the morning he'd surprise me with flowers, breakfast.

then bring me out for lunch at a small cafe.

then we'll walk around town.. shop a little.

then dinner at a fancy restaurant.

it's so superficial. that's what i think now.

right now, my ideal valentine's day would be.

well..there isnt any particular plan.

i'd just be happy if he decided to go out for a picnic even.

heh

well.

the point for valentine's day to me.

is just to spend as much time with that someone

that i love.

sabrina.

happy new year everyone!

2008-12-31T15:52:00.002Z

i'm off at 10.45 am to london.

i've been waiting a while for this, but my exams are in 13 days so i can't really let loose yet.

but oh well.

happy new year once again.

hopefully 2009 will be more interesting than 2008 :D

sabrina.

i can't believe i lost myself again.

2008-12-21T12:41:00.003Z

he placed a hand on my cheek and kissed me gently on the lips. i lifted my chin and parted my mouth, his tongue danced around mine a little, soft and warm. Suddenly he had his arms around me, and he was pulling me against him, until i could feel his heart beating against my chest.

i came across a story that i wrote half way about 22 chapters with blank spaces here and there. I just wish i had the time to finish it, or actually bring myself to finish it.

but obviously I can't, writing about these things just make me miss..

everything.

so nothing much has been going on, went out a few times, met up with jean and dana and the rest of the concord bunch. but i've been trying to study

and finally these 2 days have been productive, i've been studying quite a bit, probably because i'm still not ready for my resits and i'm bloody stress.

plus i'm going off in 2 weeks (can't wait!! woopee)

i can't believe i'm saying this, but i prefer the cold raining weather, than hot humid thunderstorms, and still i have to bear with the SLOW FRIGGIN SLOW internet.

even concord's internet is faster. heck anything is faster than streamyx.

so anyway, i just dyed my hair on friday, and i kinda want the colour to be lighter, but oh well you cant have everything right..

my life is kinda at stand still right now.

and i think it'll remain that way for a while.

sabrina.

so what happened this term.

2008-12-14T04:44:00.008Z

i'm currently updating my mac :D

it took me a few days to get used to it and started to customize it, and sadly i'm still not done

with it. here's a screenshot click here if you want a larger view.

so what happened this term?

i moved dorms, well not the scary old walls anymore, bell, is much more central and new, definitely, and plus we live just opposite the guy's dorm.

and guys that live opposite me are just interesting -.-

oh and i have new dorm mates, here are 2 of them, ching and mandy, we're the only 6.2's in the dorm, which is quite sad really, but people visit us from time to time :D.

well another thing i like about bell, is that it's bloody near to the student kitchen, it makes it easier for me to bake, but then again, i rarely have time to bake. But it's still a plus. Another would be it's really close to the sports hall.

Speaking of which, i'm still very weight conscious. Being home makes me feel even worse, i've been sick theses couple of days and i'm still sick so i'm not exactly in the condition to exercise. and all i do know is eat, sleep and study abit. I lost a kg when i'm sick but i dont feel a bit healthy and i certainly don't look thin. And plus, it doesnt help when my dad constantly tells me to exercise. i'm so sick of it, it's not like i dont want to exercise, it's not that i'm not weight conscious. It's not like i don't care about myself.

Moving on, my room in bell is pretty cossy, it's on the 2nd floor so the ceiling's pretty high and my window overlooks the student kitchen, westend and the boys' dorms.

These are pictures which i took when i first decorated my room with the photos, my room looks pretty different now cause i have put on some posters and more notices and stuff and i also have moved my table to face the window, so my room looks so much more spacious now.

the major events this term?

halloween,

christmas concert,

christmas dinner.

well there was hari raya, the mooncake festival and blue genes day. but i didn't post the photos here, they are on facebook though.

Halloween.

i've never celebrated halloween before, but i always wanted to because i always liked the idea of people dressing up and looking like idiots. but it never occured to me to know what halloween actually is about.

anywho it was quite fun because alot of people dressed up and did quite a number of peoples' make up. Not ALAN hehehe :P which is the guy with tones of make up.

Christmas Concert.

i sang in the choir and did a solo with basil (in the picture..oh god), who btw is an awesome guitarist :D who manage to do this with me last minute sorry sorry.

hhehe either way, it was loads of fun performing and i wouldnt mind doing it again, maybe this time a duet? maybe? or i might even play the piano myself depending on how much time i have to prepare for my exams.

since i don't think i'll ever have the chance to do this in uni anymore.

Christmas Dinner.

i still can't believe i was able to walk in my 4 inch stillettos for 4 hours plus and in the cold eventhough i had a huge bruise on my foot. After the christmas concert, lucky it wasn't during my performance, but after the concert, i managed to slip on one of the steps of the stage and landed on my butt, but i still dont know how did i get a bruise on my foot. (i still have the bruise btw, the doctor said it'll take 3-5 weeks to heal, GOD DAMN IT)

The night was pretty fun, and i'm sure more than half of the college was drunk. It was one of the rare times where there are actually alot of people dancing.

So what now?

i'm at home, supposedly studying for my retakes in january, but so far i've done quite a few of math past papers, but i couldnt bring myself to do econs. I get distracted by my computer and also tv.

Honestly, I can't wait to go back UK, i honestly can't stand the weather here and plus, to tell you the truth, i don't have much friends at home, i was never really close to the people in my secondary school, but hell it's in the past right, i can't do much about it now.

Sides, I am suppose to pay attention to my studies.

i'm looking forward to the new term though, new students and finally some people with personality.

sabrina.

bacckk in concord.

2008-09-08T19:00:00.003+01:00

let's just leave this space blank, until my life actually gets interesting here.

i need clarity.

2008-08-14T13:14:00.004+01:00

week 8:
my body friggin aches.

i can't stand up straight without feeling a pinch.

Result this week : No change in weight.

-

AS results were out today at i think about 3 pm?
so erm my results are pretty much crap, but yeah, it could've been worse.

but my Law results were just horrible.

i just thank god i didn't fail.

-

I just bought the Kenko Diet Plums today, and i will start consuming them on saturday, and according to what i've read i'll be goin to the toilet ALOT more than usual.

prepare for multiple explosions

lol that was sick.

sabrina.

diet.

2008-08-11T14:22:00.002+01:00

okay so i've been going to the gym for about 4 weeks,
6 sessions of workout. 3 of them resulted in muscle aches, one of them which i suffering from now.

before these 4 weeks, i've been blindly exercising at home.
40 minutes on the treadmill, about 100 sit ups, 50 push ups
sometimes
30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the cross trainer.

so yeah lemme see i've been exercising since i came back from uk, so that makes it about 7 weeks of exercising.

food pattern for the 1st 3 weeks

breakfast at 7.30 am ( i had to work)

brown rice flakes with dried cranberries and low fat milk

lunch at 12.30 pm

salad with vinegrad dressing/ egg sandwich with multigrain bread with no mayo/ if i don't have a choice like company lunches, i'd go for the no carbo, nothing fried option.

snack at about 4 pm

a cup of low fat milk/fruit/dried cranberries/dried apples

EXERCISE AT 5pm or 6 pm, for an hour

dinner at 8-8.30 pm

i cant runaway from this one : brown rice, dishes sometimes up to 4 this includes : tofu, vegetables, fish, chicken/pork. and a bowl of soup

and if i'm hungry, i'll have a glass of low fat milk and then go to bed.

Result : ABSOLUTELY NO FAT LOSS, well i continously weigh myself everyday, at one point i thought i lost 2 pounds, but then a week later, i gained the weight back.

food pattern for the next 4 weeks (total of 7 weeks)

breakfast at the earliest 8 am, latest 9 am. (depending on the time of my workout, 2 hours before my workout i have my breaktfast)

post bran flakes with dried cranberries and low fat milk

Special K cereal with dried cranberries and low fat milk

lunch at the earliest 1 pm, latest at 2 pm

i eat almost whatever i want, but normally i go for the nothing fried, no carbo option. No desserts sadly. If I have an option of salad, i'll go for salad, the one with no mayo and preferbably vinegrad dressing, or olive oil. (but on ocassions, i ate bak kut teh one sunday wow i only ate once of bak kut teh since i came back from uk)

snack (only when i'm hungry and when there's a 6 or more hours gap between my meals)

low fat yogurt/fruits/chestnuts/a cup of low fat milk

dinner at 7 pm

no carbs! dishes which include 4 dishes, 2 dishes of different types of vegetable, chicken/pork, tofu/beancurd, sometimes fish. and with a bowl of clear soup.

and nothing after that.

and i've also increased my water intake..today i drank 3 bottles of 795 ml water, that'll be 2.385 litters of water.

RESULT : I lost 2 KGs, but i don't see the difference sadly.

Goal : 3 more KGs to go!

singapore!

2008-07-14T14:05:00.005+01:00

me, ching and minde left corus hotel at 8.00 am, we went on the bus and the seats were pretty comfy, well if you're willing to pay 160 ringgit for AEROline, you'll get a comfy first class 5 hour bus ride to singapore!

We pretty much slept through the first half of the bus ride until we stopped for a toilet break.

and we came back we took over the conference room, which has sofas! haha the bus had 2 decks, seats upstairs and conference room and toilet downstairs. We wanted to take photos of us with the bus, but we were too lazy hhaha.

so here's a picture of the conference room , with ching in the picture, she just wants to be in it. heh

so here are the sofas! and trust me, i tried taking a photo of the conference room, without ching's face in it, i tried...

the bus also has it's own mini kitchen to heat your food up!

we had subway for breakfast haha, but unfortunately subway in malaysia sucks. The bread isn't as soft and fresh as the ones they have in UK.

at around 1 pm, we officially reached singapore! and this person here came to get us!

dana! ahhaha we left our stuff at her place, and went to takashimaya for lunch!

and then we met up with alan!

we made a mistake of eating thai for lunch though, because there was a food fest right downstairs, and there was soo many good food.

the amount of food we stuffed in our face is crazy.

the amount of food products we bought was just insane..

after eating all this good food, i thought to myself

i wouldn't mind living here, no no I wanna move here!

and here we are, literally stuffing our faces.

after that we went to heeren, to buy flip flops and just walk around

after that we went back to dana's place, because minde forgot to take the tickets for gary's concert.

both me and dana didn't know who the guy was, but we tagged along anyway.

we seriously didn't know who this gary was, all we knew is that he got an award, and that he was ugly hahahaha. And just before the concer started, we listened to his song for the 1st time.

and every concert is never complete with glowing sticks! and with dana and me there, we had to take photos!

about an hour later, out comes gary, with his red hair, pink suit, orange pants.

unfortunately, i couldnt zoom and all i got was a blurry picture of him, you couldnt really see his face. But the concer was good, filled with emo music and some upbeat songs, but his voice is truly heavenly, i swear i would have melted in the seat if it wasnt for his glittery pink suit, and when he kissed that ugly back up dancer.

oh god..

day 2

We went to esplande to eat lunch with the rest of the concord peeps

this includesss kevin and chloe..

wei ren, mandy and bryan!

then at 4, we left singapore, and went home.

2 days were too short, so me and ching are planning to go back in mid august, this time, maybe a week?

we're not sure yet, but i definitely, we definitely want to go back there again.

sabrina.

TOD'S SHOES HAHAHA.

sorry just lemme go crazy for a bit.

ever since erm well hong kong, and my siste introduced me to these great, one of a kind, heaveenn. love it love it.

i was lucky there was a pair at my size =), i was lucky that it was their last day of promotion, and i got these babies at 40% off woot.

yogitree at the gardens, mid valley.

this place, serves food that is erm almost entirely organic.

organic eggs, veges, chicken too.

the setting's pretty cozy, but it's in the corner and not much people would know of the place, it's right next to isetan.

nasi lemak, which organic eggs and organic chicken. ahha.

their menu had alot of varieties of fruit juices, but unfortunately, it didnt taste really good because it's really diluted.
when typing the menu, they forgot to add "alot of water" into theire ingredients.
overall, yogitree is just the place to have a healthy meal, i had smoked salmon salad, i didn't take a picture because i've been dieting and i've only been eating salad for lunch.

sad i know.
anyway, yogitree is not bad of a place, and i wouldnt mind going there again.

i met up with triciaaa!

kdu hasnt changed at all, okay other than the food, but yeah it still look the same and everything else.

this guy hasnt changed as well, still remember the obscene picture i took last year? erm, i'll look for it and post a link here.

i met up with ee ping as well, and mr pang! mr pang said i gained weight, yeah i know. 5kgs is alot..oh god.

Bubble gump shrimp at the curve

after that we went to the curve for lunch, the deco's pretty interesting, it ha something to with a movie, which i have never seen or heard of and i forgot what it was..
either way

at each tabls they had this number plate, when it's down (blue: run forest run) means that you dont need service, when it's up (red: stop forest stop) you want service and a waiter will come serve you =)

i unfortunately didnt take photos of the food, i was still a little upset that, instead of eating like a burger or something, i'm eating salad again.
however, the salad was good though.
and the drinks are not bad.

overall it's quite a nice place to eat, i'd give it about a 8/10 rating?

christmas, hong kong, stitches

2007-12-27T13:49:00.000Z

here's a LOOOOOONGGG post for you guys.
so sorry for the lack of updates. i've been really busy.

just about 10 days ago, i got my wisdom teeth taken out, 2 of them, i got stitches and i couldnt eat hard stuff for a very long time, i still cant now, because i'm too god damn paranoid. I took off my stitches today, i thought i can eat anything now and everything would go back to normal, i went home went to the bathroom to have a look at my teeth, and i was freaking out when i saw a hole of where the stitches used to be.

oh here's a picture of my stitches (IF YOU DONT WANT TO SEE THIS PLEASE SCROLL DOWN ALREADY.)

just kidding, just click here.

anyway i saw the hole, i was freaking out i was running around the house calling my mother, i wasn't wearing any pants because i wanted to change into shorts.

"there's no hole lah"

"GOT LAHHH BLOODY HELL LOOOK"

"DONT HAVE LAH."

*signals my sister to come look*

"eh really lah there's a big hole there."

"CALL THE DENTIST NOW GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

then it turns out. i am suppose to have some gap there.

thanks for not telling me. sorry neighbours seeing me without pants on must have scarred you for life.

the surgery was kinda scary.. OKAY IT WAS, I'M A PUSSY (i have a fear of medical procedures, and needles, okay basically anything that has to do with stuff poking into me)

they had to give me 2.5 doses of local...so i had..3 needle marks on my hand.

anyway. moving on to hong kong.

we reached there at about..6..and it was dark already, we had dinner and sadly i didnt take any photos of the food because i couldnt eat anything but porridge. and trust me, eventhough i said the porridge was good, i was so sick of it.

so blogging about food i couldnt eat, is not such a good idea.

the photo up there is taken at the avenue of stars

the place has lots of lights and lots of people posing infront of statues and stuff of the famous hong kong actors. there were handprints on the floor as well, but i didnt take a picture though.

anyway to sum up the trip.

the shopping was crazy, we bought 6 jeans from 7 jeans (if you dont know what brand that is, google it, it's one of the best brand jeans on earth) for 1896 hong kong dollars, that's about, 948 ringgit, for 6 pairs of jeans..

a pair of 7 jeans in hong kong would only cost, 158 RINGGIT MY GOD.

i bought a pair of 7 jeans from Isetan before, and that cost me about 500 ringgit AND IT WAS ON SALE. the ones that werent on sale were about 700-800 ringgit.

me and my sister got the same pair of tod's shoes (okay maybe the shoes arent mine, but i was wearing them)

Christmas eve at Prego, Westin.

the deco was pretty cool.

we had to wear these things that made us look like show girls.

and my dad as a...i really don't know.

but the food was good, so please go the Prego and enjoy a dinner :D.

last night i went to Genting to watch Kitaro, and this morning i had to wake up at 7.30 to go for the stupid undang class (which was really a waste of time, eventhough the guy was quite funny). BLANK.

the place was pretty packed, i got there at 8.30 and the show starts at 8, but when we got there, there was a long line, and it took us 30 minutes to even get in the place.

it was free seating, so the place at we sat is kinda sucky, well at least i have this big board beside me.

the gardens.

went to the gardens today and we ate at din tai fung.

BLANK
the deco was pretty homey, pretty much like the one in Singapore, but i still say taipei's one is the best.
BLANK

BLANK

we ordered the beef la mian, the soup was good, the meet was really tender.

BLANK

we ordered the vegetables (which i forgotten the name to), the beans were crunchy and very tasty, sweet and saltish, but just a little too sweet for me, but i still liked it.

BLANK

next came the shrip and pork jiao zi,
BLANK

BLANK

the skin was not too thick, the meat was really fresh, really good

BLANK

siao long bao, these tiny little dumplings are filled with soup, this obviously wasn't a let down since this is their speciality, the skin was thin, but not thin enough to make it break easily, i couldn't take a photo after i took a bite out of it because i didn't want any soup to go to waste :P

BLANK

the gardens is a pretty airy place, i wouldn't say it's big, comparing to Pavillion, KLCC, One Utama it's pretty small. I'd say its size is about Bangsar Village 2.

Not all the shops are opened, but most of them are, still there are very little people walking around, probably because it's a weekday.

we browsed around the shops, until i saw this.

BLANK

Piko! okay lah maybe it's not Peako, but it's close enough. (dont worry peak sheng, it's not a porn shop or anything like that, the place is actually quite interesting, lots of funky things, kinda like Gizmo.)

(P.S : the woman who knocked my mom's car, her hushband called my dad. He decided not to apollogise, but also not to report, so we just left it at that)

my car got hit.

2007-11-26T13:33:00.000Z

stupid.

here's a very simple illustration i did.

i was just on the way home from ou, mom was driving, i was seating in front, and ee ping at the back seat. We didn't even realise that there was a car beside us, that wanted to turn in the left junction.

she signaled after the bump, and she just drove. and then.

our car got hit, but lucky my mom was driving the volvo, and she was driving the really old merz, only our front bumper got hit, but it wasnt much damage, but her door had a huge dent, well it's her fault anyway.

HSDJASLJKD

she got out of the car and she started shouting already. (by the way, she just left her car in that position, how inconsiderate, the other cars behind couldn't move)

ANOTHER

we drove to the side lane, and she got out of the car again, and non stop nagging.

HEY YOU READING THIS?

"you should know i wanted to turn in that lane to swipe my card" (she was turning into her condominium, how does she expect we knew that she stayed there?)

WOW

"you were driving too fast"

"how does anyone drive fast after a bump?" - my mom.

THAT'S COOL.

she just won't stop claiming she's right, lucky this was near my house, and my driver was there and my dad was in the house. So i called my dad, and he arrived, he also thought that my mom wasn't at fault, and if she wants to make a police report about it, whatever we'll see who gets there 1st.

I THINK I NEED

what do you think?

SOME

who was wrong?

SLEEP.

but sheesh, if you want to turn in the left junction, KEEP TO THE FRIGGIN LEFT.

it's over.

2007-11-23T09:22:00.000Z

well obviously you cant see what's exactly on my desktop unless, you click on the photo BUT what i want you to see is this.

basically, i had everything planned out for what i was going to do after spm, i was suppose to go klcc. but.

because of the stupid road block, i cant get to kl, basically the government is trying to stop Indians from going to kl to protest about Indian rights (okay not exactly).

i shall explain.
The Indians wants Britain to pay damages of 1 million pounds to each of Malaysia's 2 million ethnic Indians for rights abuses which traces to colonial-era labour schemes that brought their ancestors to Malaysia as indentured workers.

On 25th November 2007, Hindraf or Hindu Rights Action Force are submitting the petition to her royal highness Queen Elizabeth () at britsh high counsel at Kuala Lumpur. So the British need 100,000 Indian people's signatures for that petition.

SO HOW LONG DO WE NEED TO SUFFER THIS ROAD BLOCKS.

until sunday. CRAP ALL PLANS GONE.

soho in one utama.

2007-11-07T13:50:00.000Z

i have always loved this place ever since it opened. I thought the deco was pretty cool, white chairs, high ceilings, black tables.

good food.

what is there not to like?

either way soho in is the old wing, just beside the escalator to one world hotel, the place is white, i dont think you can miss it.

i suggest if you ever go to soho, take the ones next to the window, or close to the windows, cause the place is a little chilly and constantly plays chinese music (sorry not a fan, but yeah) quite loudly.

right after you order, you're given these (it's not free, neither is the very nicely packed tissue). It basically has carrots, cucumbers and fried spring roll of some sort but only with garlic (if i'm not mistaken, but anywho, it's very addictive), you can ask for seconds if you are willing to pay.

we ordered la mian with beef (they say it's spicy, but i need to put chilli to make it spicy, but it still tastes damn god), make sure you ask for the chilli in oil (but with less oil).
the beef is really tender and you wont take a hard time to chew it.

next we order lo bak kou (radish cake), it didn't look to yummy though, it tasted really bad after i took a bite. Thankfully, the place has good service, they replaced our dish immediately.

next we ordered, shit i forgotte what this is called, either way there's fu jok in there, and it's wrapped around with cheong fun (ask them they should know, once i found out the name i'll edit this post.)

and for dessert

liu xa bau (custard buns) okay the one on the the left looks retarded, but it tastes good anyway so i dont really mind.

the thing is super hot and you have to becareful when you eat it, because once you have a bite of this thing

custard starts oozing out (just make sure you dont spill, it'd be a waste!)

yum.

korean food and indonesian food.

2007-11-05T11:02:00.000Z

Gado-gado.

is a traditional Indonesian dish.

it's basically vegetable sald served with peanut sauce.

that's how it's suppose to look like. It looks pretty disgusting eh.

either way my mom decided to just try making it for fun, and trust me it looks better than that.

it looks damn nice actually.

basically all the vegetables are cooked in hot water.

kangkung.

long beans and cabbage.

carrots and beancurd.

prawn fritters (i love this, i think i ate all of it, okay lah i'm not that selfish.)

it's suppose to be peanut sauce, but it's really spicy sambal (but more watery)

and we add the peanuts.

mix all the vegetables and such and the sauce and peanuts. and there we go.

dinner - korean food

YAY. KIMCHI!

the place is called KoRyo Won Korean Restaurant. It is located at Wisma Antarabangsa, 2nd floor. The place is pretty quiet at night.

okay the place is pitch black, and you can hear the air conditioner, and the restaurant is the only place that is opened (at least i think it is, there might be another japanese restaurant downstairs but i didnt check)

the place is pretty empty, but most probably it's because it's a sunday night, but i'm sure this place is packed on the weekdays during lunch time.

they will serve you cold dishes, bean sprouts, kimchi, vegetbles, beancurd, stuff like that.

and when you get there please order the barbecue beef, because it's damnn good.

order this seafood pancake as well. Well there's very little seafood, but hell it tastes good

anyway.

Kimchi soup, basically they serve this thing is a hot pot, with cabbage, seafood (if you ordered seafood, i suggest you order the beef one), toufu. that's basically it.

it's damn spicy, but it's damn good.

the bill came and all this costs 190+ with tax. Well we had lots of seafood and the beef is expensive too. But i think it was worth it.

school and kura.

2007-11-01T13:11:00.000Z

reached school at about 10, went straight to the library and started studying on history.

That only lasted half an hour, then i moved on the Physics.

the library was surprisingly full, but then again, the school year hasn't ended yet so if there arent form 5s, there'll the will be the lower secondary students.

see that guy in the background who is constantly looking at his book? That's Adrian Tan, well i call him Jun. He was studying history, when all of us are just talking, i was trying to do physics, well i finished one paper at least and half of one add math paper. The other guy in the background is Keng Guan, one of the main reasons why i dont like main stream is because of him. Every morning before class he would sing a certain song that keeps on playing on hitz.fm. Listening to the radio is sickening enough. But it's all good.

He's just one of the people that makes our lives more interesting that way.

That's Kevin, I only saw him doin add math though, but at least he's doing work.

Unlike my class.

yeah through out the entire time i was in school i was trying to avoid Mr. Yow. Because of my pants and shoes, but i love my shoes. Eventhough the soles of the shoe are coming out, i refuse to throw them away. They are by far the BEST pair of shoes I have ever owned. For 210 ringgit
from zara, it was sooo worth it.

that's Ryan, i cant believe anyone would dare touch Adrian's hairy leg. ACK.

It was lunch time and the rest of my class (who came to school anyway) went to A&W to eat lunch, but i left with my mom to go one utama.

-

lunch lunch lunch at one utama.

if we didn't know this place exist we would probably go to Soho, or eat at Vietnamese Kitchen.

Thanks to Matt, we dont need to go all the way to Hartamas to eat good Japanese food anymore.

Kura, located in one world hotel, on the first floor. Beside Soho in One utama (the old wing), there's an escalator which looks broken, but it's actually an automatic escalator, get up on the escalator, walk toward the big shiny door, turn left and you'll see the place.

Kura is in the same chain as Rakuzen in Hartamas (there's one in Subang as well). So alot of the items on the menu are the same, but Kura definitely has more varieties.

Kura is definitely a more comfy place than Rakuzen in Hartamas, less stuffy and alot more light
(good for photography yay!)

the service was definitely fast, i dont know whether it is the lack of customers (becaus it's still
new and no one knows about the place) or their chefs are really good.

we ordered the chicken katsuju (excuse me for the wrong spelling), what we normally would order at Rakuzen. I have to say that, Rakuzen's version is much better. The onions were hard when they are suppose to be soft, and it didnt get the flavour of the chicken, but the rice and mushrooms inside are really nice.

Assorted Tempura.

the scallops were the best. Better than Rakuzen in Hartamas AND the one in Subang. Oh my god i want another one right now.

please?

Spider roll which has soft shell crab, shit just looking the photos makes me hungry again.

a few things about camwhoring.

2007-10-31T05:51:00.000Z

note: to avoid people finding this post offensive. i'll use my own pictures (yeah laugh!), photoshop them and well yeah.
my neighbours would be wondering why the hell am i doing this.

1. Use good quality photographs, DONT USE PHOTOS WITH

-too much noise

the reason why your photo turns out like that is because:
1. you increased the contrast and it made your skin tone look like an orange.

2. you gone through alot of filters and made your photo turn out like crap.

3. or maybe you want to purposely add noise to your photo (well then i have absolutely nothing to say except this: WHY ARE YOU WASTING SUCH A GOOD CAMERA?)

-Too much photoshop brushes which you think it makes it so pretty, honestly it just makes your face look uglier. (prepare to see a HORRIBLE photo. i was trying not to throw up when i was photoshopping this.)

OKAY maybe typing "omg! flowers!" is wrong.

i should have put
"guess who? XOXO"
or
"shhhh!"

2. Wear clothes that are decent, and if you think what you are wearing looks like crap on that day, change or just take half body shots, then it wont be so bad.

-sorrry i just had to use other people's photos.

i couldnt let myself put on clothes likes those.

or hair like that even.

or make up rather.....

there's absolutely nothing wrong with camwhoring, you just need to know how to use photoshop if you WANT TO use it.and if you want your photos to be all funky, just stick to brushes in photoshop(but not too much) and leave out the filters shall we?and please dont waste the people's efforts in making the camera really clear with all that megapixels. So let's just stick to the good quality and if you think you are really pretty, avoid all that photshop crap thanks.

i thought this post would be longer. but i guess i'll edit it sooner or later.

the last time i'll ever get to eat

2007-10-30T10:05:00.000Z

this.

okay lah maybe not, but in this place anyway. Every saturday, we'd have chemistry and physics tuition at BVR from 9 am to 1.30 pm, with a half hour break in between.

and during that half an hour break, we eat at Nasi Kandar Spring which is right next to our tuition place. Well we had to move our Saturday class to today because most of us have something going on on Saturday and can't make it.

either way, everytime when we have tuition at that place, we would order the usual

roti tissue which is a thinner version of roti canai. It's basically a thin layer of bread dough deep fried.

The guy in the background is my friend, Karl Shern.

ayam goreng (fried chicken)

teh tarik (tea which is pulled to give it a frothy texture)

limau ais (lime juice)

roti canai and maggi goreng
but today, Sue Ann and Li Shan went to buy blueberry cheese tarts from a nearby bakery. Sadly i didn't ask where they bought it, i regret that though.

Because they look sooo nice, well i'm really hungry and just exercised, this is how i feed my hunger.

That's Zetty and in the background Li shan.

This is Sue Ann (she's so going to kill me if she knows this photo is here)

the after effect and all that only cost 23 ringgit. (omg 3 pounds for all this food)

okay after tuition i had to eat lunch with my mom, i didnt eat though, i was still very full.

She ate this.

fish head bee hoon (fish head with vermicelli)

the soup was very nice though eventhough i dont fancy fish, it was sour and sweet and savoury at the same time.

My mom ordered the mixed version, fried fish, fish, fish ball, everything inside and that costs 10 ringgit.

and for the drinks, lime juice and soya cincau for 1.50 ringgit each.

the place is called ss20 fish head noodle, at damansara utama, but somewhere near TTDI.

opening hours :

mondays to saturdays : 10 am to 4 pm

public holidays and sundays : 10 am to 10.30 pm

camera taking whore

2007-10-29T03:08:00.000Z

"just call me the photographer lah"
"no she's a pirate whore"

-

last night was Wai Kit's Bday.

he called the entire Dickens class to come but only 14 of us showed up. Only 2 girls came, Me and Najwa. But it's all good. Most of us reached TGIF at The Curve at about 8-9 pm or so. We ordered our food and waited for the rest of the freaks or as Wai Kit would say the dicks.

and some of us had to leave really early (9.30). So we called them to sing for Wai Kit and coincidentally there were 3 people who were celebrating their birthdays in TGIF as well, so we heard the song 3 times.
He definitely knew what the waiters were going to do when they crowded around our table, but
he never knew that he was suppose to stand on the table.

then they asked him to blow the candle of the cake but i didnt manage to take a photo of that though.

they gave him a piece of chocolate cake, but it dont look too delicious.
but it's free after all.
Mr Pang finally came and we took a couple of pictures.

then off to laundry.

Mr Pang had to work the next day so he left right after we sat down and ordered our drinks.
Some of us went to buy donuts, some of us sat there and talk, some of us (only 2 lah) went to smoke.

the curve always look pretty at night, even if its raining dont you think?

i mean the chocolate ones are guilty enough but look at the last one.
"is that just sugar on top?" - Me.
"no i'm sure there's sugar filling as well." - Jackson.

oh god.

sadly i forgot to ask money from my mom. Daniel, Najwa and me wanted to buy Wai Kit something, but everything we chose was to expensive, i only had 60 ringgit after all. So i ended up buying him a drink.
CLOCKWISE in the picture: Chee Chee (wai kit's, i think it's pina colada with something else), Frozen Lotion (i think), Strawberry Splash (it's damn sour), Casablanca and my Lychee Martini. AND the people in the picture : Jian Wai, Adrian Tan and Jim.
After that everyone had to leave, and only Aisar, Hengli, Ian and me were left. So off to starbucks. But then Ian had to leave right after he ordered his drink. So that just leaves the 3 of us.

we should have this every week. even during study leave.

eh why not during SPM?

cinnamon.

2007-10-28T04:31:00.001Z

buns (= that's just a piece i took out i didnt use a knife, i didnt need to. haahha.

the dough was pretty hard to make very sticky and you're suppose to make it into a ball. again let it rest for 25 minutes. Take 1/3 of the dough and roll it out and put it in the pan.

and the other roll it out into a rectangle and then spread butter,cinnamon,sugar all over it like so.

spreading the thing was sooo guilty.

but it was so worth it. roll up the dough (like how you make a swiss roll) and cut it up and put it in the pan

it looks damn digusting i know. but put it in the oven and it smells divine!

take it out and it makes your house smell like heaven.

byeeee :D

burntbread.

2007-10-28T04:28:00.001Z

wait that's not it. okayyyy let's start from the beginning shall we? this morning, tiffany came to my house to study/eat/gocrazy etc. I wanted to make pizza at 1st but, she doesn't eat mammals and pizza has ham, so no to pizza.

This is one of Nigella Lawson's recipes. It's call Garlic and Parsely Heathbreads

i modified it a little and put mix herbs. well this took pretty long to make, i make the dough let it rest for an hour. made the garlic and parsely mixture,

came back and let it rest for another 10 minutes, and then 25 minutes,

AND FINALLY ~~into the oven.~~ (not yet) put on the herbs, garlic and lots of olive oil.

FINALLY into the oven.

wait for 20 minutes and then..

i didn't take much photos of the bread, becaue it smelled sooo yummy and well i just couldnt't help myself. until i saw the edges.

uh-oh, flip it over and you'll see.

so we basically ate the top of the bread and left the bottom burnt parts.

so in order to redeem myself, i made,

(clockwise from top) : hot cocoa, cappucino, latte (it looked nice before tiffany drank it =P)

well that's all for today.

note: chemistry, fashion and cooking do not mix well.
