Glamourous

First of all, congratulations to both Davis and Irene! And thank you for inviting me to be one of the bridemaids.

As you can see from the pic attached with this post, I have some serious curls on my head. I went to have my hair tie up by stylist and... when i took off all 34 hair pins, I had this curls (and impossible-to-untangle tangles).

Hmm... Actually, I am feeling hungry at the moment. Woke up at 5am. Not idea why I cant get back to sleep. Maybe I just go lie back down again.. Hehe...

I am back

I am actually "with internet" for the last few days. But I was...busy. Muahaha...

Ah! The heart-throbbing pic! *Blush*

Been makan-ing. Last week, before the "internet-less" time, I went to eat at ... Escapade?No!... Err... Shiki! That's it. This took me about ten minutes to remember the name of the restaurant. Gosh... I miss Excapade. The sashimi at Shiki wasnt very fresh... Actually, I also ate udon but it looks not very appetising in pic so... no pic here.

Erm... Sherp, Veep and parents are in Miri...and Sherp has been my roomie for a few nights already. We had been makan-ing too. Yummy yummy....

There is also a morning when we (lynnwei, Sherp and I) went to Taman Selera to enjoy the sea breeze and view.

Ah... Have got to congrats Lynna for winning the tennis competition...and then also Abelle for her effort in the competition. And then, I just want to show this pic. 'Cause I think it looks really nice. Last but not least, Happy belated Birthday to Sherp!

Apologies

I know I said that I would post a post a day after the previous post....I didnt. Sorry.

I think my sense of time is totally off when I didnt work on Monday and then had a seminar on Wednesday. Totally lose the sense of which day is which. I cant remember what exactly did I do the past few days... I actually dont feel like trying to remember what happen...

There is something that has been bothering me and that is.... my two singles have yet arrived!!! I have been anticipating it for one whole week. I hope it will arrive in this coming week.

Erm...some time ago, I went to Siamese Secret with Lynthia and we had a feast... Just to show what we eaten..


Then...the reason for going back to Brunei was for Mother's Day... We went to Excapade to have dinner... May I mention how delicious is the salmon sashimi...

I apologise once again for the poor (blur) pics... I was in a hurry to take the pics so that everyone can dig into the food...

Ah! My trip in Brunei... I also went shopping and I bought chocolates!! To be exact, I bought this Meiji Rich Macha... Just in case you dont know what is Macha, it is Green Tea...

Ah! The delicious rich taste of green tea. I love....

Hmmm...late night, early morning has caused me another headache... It is still quite early (compared to my normal sleeping time) but I think I shall retire early tonight. Headache is pretty bad...

Just noticed how short is my post... By short, I mean the elaboration of the pics and etc... Must be the headache...Sigh... Although it is public holiday tomorrow, Wesak Day, I will still need to work... Sad...

T & TRICK

How should I start this post? I mentioned before that I have something that I need to blog about but I am still waiting for a digicam to take it...and actually I wanted to wait for something to arrive first so that I can make it in one go. Confusing? Guess so...

The real reason is actually because I dont really have a lot of time to blog these days. But surprisingly I still have more posts than in previous year despite of being so busy.

First... this is the thing that I wanted to take pic of but didnt take till tonight. The 'T' album by Tohoshinki. Released on 23rd January 2008. I actually wanted to buy it online but I decided not to. Refrained myself from doing so. But that night, when I was window shopping, I saw it in a music store and can't control myself. Thus, the shopping impulse and I bought it. Hehe... Cost me RM 47.00.

I haven't tried the DVD yet. Erm... Let me try it now. Haha... Ok, it works. Oh! Did I mentioned that this 'T' album is a CD and DVD album. The DVD contains some of the recent music videos and offshot videos. I have seen all the videos thru my vicious downloading... :p

Ah... Remember the Goong madness time last year? Then, remember the time I bought Goong original DVD? It is still one of my most treasured items. It was purchased online and history has repeated itself. Hehe... I ordered five singles... the T.R.I.C.K. singles. After patiently waiting for each single to be released (i pre-order the singles before they even got released)... received the email that the singles are ready for shipment...received the email that the singles have been shipped... Then, nothing for two weeks. Erm... I am guessing that the two consecutive public holidays have probably caused the delay. Today... my dearest all, I finally received the red notification card from Pos Malaysia to collect a small package!!!

I was so excited that I took a half and hour leave from work to get it from Pusat Mel Miri... Hehe... Since I have to concentrate at work, the box was placed on my table.. facing me... the whole day... then when I arrive home and do everything else... It is time to officially open every single singles that I have purchased. As you can see from below, the singles are protected with bubbles wrapper. Guaranteed will not crack... Hehe... Was kind of worried that the singles might be harmed during its shipment here.

Hehe... I cant stop smiling... So happy... Actually, I did ask myself whether I need to get these singles and CD... There is no good reason to get them but the fact that I really like this group so much that I want to get their singles and album... It will be so great if I can see them singing live. :p Btw, they are currently on the third Japan Live Tour now... I heard all the tickets are sold out. Aiks...

Anyways, here are the singles... The T.R.I.C.K. singles... Two Hearts, Runaway, If...?, Close to You, Keyword. See it? Get it?

Ah... the five singles... Erm... the logo-like character on all of the five cds is actually representing the word 'TRICK'. Erm... Hard to explain it... It is something like you can spell the word TRICK based on the lines...Aiks... Hard... Hard... Dont know how to say it...One of the reasons why I have just got to get all five of the singles is because of the fact that they can put together into one picture... As shown above. Pardon my foot and the mess around the picture...I guess the picture isnt very clear... It is too long to take... Let me show you all a clearer picture...I do hope that the pic have the link to open to its original size... That way can see better what I mean...

By the way, from all the five singles, there are two pictures that I love the most... They are:-

I think the five black cups with white number printed on it are so cute!! I want one!

The glass chess set.... I have no idea why I love it...

Finally, there is just one thing that I am not happy about... That is... each single come with a sticker picture of each member and Yoochun's single doesn't have one! It is possible that they have missed putting it in... Darn!

Phew... Almost done with this post... Finally, how much did I spent on these singles? I spent USD 57.45. Errr... Too lazy to convert to RM now... So, that is all for this post...

Bah... Btw, who are they? They are Tohoshinki. Hehe...and I just spent another USD25.48 to purchase another two singles.

Happy Chinese New Year

heyhey

Firstly... I only took one photo last night new year eve's dinner and it is the picture of the shark fins shoup that my mum made. Tada! Yummyness... Then... I wanna show the tanglungs we have hung up at the exterior of the house.
I want to show the interior... but my handphone is currently charging...so... hehe.. will update this post to include the pic, yeah? Editted on 8th February 2008... Inserted the pic.

Then... I will show how I look on the first day of CNY... I think I look ok except for the scar leftover from the pimple... sigh... My double eyelids has been pretty permanent for the past week and hopefully it will be forever permanent..

Currently... waiting for the time to pass so that I can watch this certain concert on tv... and the house has a lot of noises now..... 'cause gambling is in the progress....

Gong Xi Fa Cai o~!

3 hours to 2008

Feel old.

Haha.

Happy New Year, everyone! Mina-san, happy new year!

Err... just want to show this one thing and then I will probably turn myself into a tv-freak and watch tv whole night.

Behold.

Ladies and gentlemen,

That is my laptop with the advertlets.com sticker....and the comfortable little blue stool... and you can get a peek at my white Philips earphones.

Bah.

Merry Christmas

It is Christmas Day yet again. It was on 25th December 2004 that I started this blog and this marks the 3rd year of my blog. Year 2007 blog activity is less than year 2006. Not sure of the reason but I sensed the change in me. Not sure if it is for a better or worse me.

I remember the others mark their blog anniversary by the number of posts they have. I have passed the 300-post. Hehe... this should be the 343th post, I think.

Nevertheless, Merry Christmas, everyone~! The Christmas tree made its 4th appearance again. Been using since Dec 2004. Hehe... Stole it from Yahoo. :p

Erm... I decided to put in a pic from my office annual dinner. Just the pic of the stage. The dinner was at Broadway Lounge, Grand Palace Hotel. I didnt win anything from the lucky draw but it was a good experience 'cause I was the impromptu amcee. Nervous wreck. Then, we had the karaoke session. Different annual dinner experience for the three annual dinners I have attended.

Had lunch at Dave's Deli on 21st Dec. Egg & Sausages. The foursome lunch for year 2007. The twosome went off to holidays after this lunch.

The 21st Dec was a very thrifty day. That is because there is this Siamese Secrets's dinner.
This is the Try-It-At-Your-Own-Risk Spicy Tom Yam that JWei ordered which leads him to feel uncomfortable till the second day. Yes, it is definitely on his own risk that he tried this.


I shared these Nachos and Burger with Aaron. Too full. P/S Beef patty is too dry for me.

Told JWei that we will definitely go to Excapade to eat when we are in Brunei. True enough. We went for dinner. Hehe...


On Sunday, before going back to Miri, went to this Malay wedding. First time attend a Malay wedding. Because the heavy rain the night before, the road and the eating place floor are very very wet and muddy. The weather isnt helping at all as the sun shone brightly and it was very humid. Thankfully, I had my Tohoshinki's songs to keep me occupied.

Unlike Chinese wedding with its 8 or 9-course meal, this Malay wedding is just a very short lunch. 0.o

Back in Miri. Back to work.

Errr...

Firstly, the phone is charging so I cant get the pictures out of the phone at this moment. Dont want to interrupt the charging process. So no pics.

Secondly, digicam actually has pictures but I am playing songs over my window media player and this window media player dont like the memory card so if I plugged in the memory card, it will 'merajuk' and closed itself. Big sweat ... So, no pics.

So.... anyways... the package has finally arrived. And as promised, Lynnwei has posted a post about it. Hehe...

Got to explain myself... I am a bit weird these days. I am online all the time... Well, almost all the time ( I dont go online at work)... But I dont really go surfing around or read blog or check emails or ... I just dont. So... What do I do? I am online because I have paid for it and I dont want to just let it go wasted so I switched on Veoh to let run and wait for new videos to be posted and then so I can download it. :p

Then... What is the use of switching on the laptop if you are not going to use it? So, it is playing Tohoshinki's songs all the time... ALL THE TIME. No worries about the laptop speakers though 'cause the songs are playing through JWei's Altec Lansing's speakers at a very reasonable high volume. Muahaha....

P/S: I have gotten myself a new Phillips earphones so that I can drown myself with Tohoshinki's songs while my aunties are here to visit. :P

Recently, whoever who sits in my car will probably have to endure listening to me talking about Tohoshinki and nothing else. Believe me. I understand the pain of enduring me so I have been stopping myself. I promise not to over-do it. Promise!

Another something to talk about is... err... apology, you have to read about Tohoshinki... I was in pain last night. In complete depression. Sigh... keywords are.... Tohoshinki. KL. Concert. Me. Miri. At Home. Listening to their songs. SIGH~~~~

Then to find out that their latest photobook, if I am to buy it from Yesasia.com, it will cost me RM 600+. Want to die ar.... Then again, I dont want it. :P

Ok... enough about that.

Err... Had a first time thingy last night. First time in my life. I actually win a lottery. err.. consider as a lottery ka? Dont know la. Anyways, I bought this 6/52 from Toto and I have 4 digits in the winning numbers and so... I won the 4th place prize.... which is .... RM3. Muahaha....

Been busy doing this thing of mine at home. Want to get as much done as possible and then also worrying about the arrivals of my aunties. I cant imagine what the situation will be like.

I forgot to put a title

Last Saturday, had a BBQ at home with friends. Erm.. Just a few friends lor... Those not invited, my apologies. No excuses or reasoning will I give for not inviting. Just sorry and dont put it in your heart.

We had chicken wings, lamb, pork, sausages, crabsticks and marshmallow to BBQ. At first, I thought I will still have some food left but... it is all finished. Everyone is stuffed. Phew...
As usual, after makan-makan, we have rummy session. Cham... I am once again on a losing streak.

Erm... Had a piece of Banana Chocolate Cake from Secret Recipe KK...
Err... the cake looked a bit messed up because... I have started to devour it before I remember to get a pic. Hehe...
Thanks for the present. Thanks for coming. Thanks for the cake. Thanks Thanks Thanks

p/s: remember my tidying-session that ended with me feeling so exhausted? My mum was here yesterday and she did a speed-cleaning upstairs... skipped my room because I told her not to touch my room. I will do it myself. Cham... even thinking about cleaning, I already feel tired. No heart to do it. Btw, my mum's speed cleaning is really hebat lo... Just about 3 hours... it is so clean even my room (despite of the mess that is still there). Ok la... I think I will go do it now before my mum come home again to find it still undone. :P

It just takes 7 to win

The first in my many games of rummy. The very-hard-to-get winning combination. 7 of the same tiles at the beginning of the game. Muahahah....
Self-invited to my mentor's church wedding at St Joseph Cathedral on 7th July 2007. Applied an hour and a half leave to go with HLing because it is working day. The Roman Catholic style church wedding is, well, boring. The church is not as big as I thought it is. Hehe...The bride is beautiful though.

Not the bride's bouquet. Bridemaid's bouquet

Food. I just got to talk about food. The Sunday Family Buffet at Cafe Rosita was so stomach-filling that my stomach wanted to burst out in a million pieces. Ok, not that bad la. Just really really really full. Thanks, Uncle and Auntie Wong!!

Here is a non-related to the buffet but nevertheless, it is food. The Claypot Noodle at Ming Cafe.

A pack of Hershey's Goodnight Hugs from my senior. She bought it from Hershey, US during her trip to US. Havent drink it yet. But I am sure it is goooddd....

Chap Goh Mei

Chinese New Year celebration officially ended on the fifteenth day. Chap Goh Mei is in the dialect of Hokkien and is loosely translated into "The Fifteenth Night."

Last night, I finally had some gambling session. Rummy. Fortunately the bets are quite small so I didnt lose too much. Dont think I have the gambling luck this year.

Tonight will be big makan again. :D

A series of events

Have to back-dated quite a long time... To the time before Chinese New Year...

Actually went to the Chinese New Year night stalls to have a look. I remember each year I would go there with mum on the final night and it would be super-crowded as everyone is trying to do their last minute shopping. Then the next day, I would hear grandma complaining about how the pork seller has sold the pork since the previous night and the pork she bought is sort of not-very-fresh anymore. anyway, this time, I think I went at the second or at least the third day these stalls opened.

The cute God of Wealth at the CNY Night Market

Oh... Went to have a drink with Jeng, Elsie and Esther at Siamese Secrets during my one-week off from office. Sort of grateful for the one week long off from work. I finally had the calamari fritters that I have been craving for a long time.

A whole loads of cholesterol

Apart from the visiting on the first and second day and also the drink at Siamese Secrets, I spent my time at home. Sleeping, surfing, watching tv.

Then, one week is gone. It was time to start working again. It is so exciting to see lion dances in our office. It actually made the time passes more quickly. We had a few lion dances this year. More than last year.

One of the lion that came to our office

The 'Da Ji' made out of Kam made by Chung Hua lion dance troupe

Went to Siamese Secrets again. This time with Jeng and Alvin. What can I say... It is good to talk to friends... This time, our conversation seems to have matured though I cant remember specifically of what we talked the previous time we met. :P

My Green Tea in pot

Then, I was forced to go to listen to this medical seminar by a chinese doctor. It was held at Dynasty Hotel and the topic of the seminar is about Breast Cancer. I got to admit that it is kind of entertaining and informative.

Finally...my first video on my blog..hehe.. A short video of the lion dance in my office.

Oh! And I finally got myself a new mouse. I finally decided that I had enough of the old mouse which is very unreliable. Now I just need to get used to the new mouse. But one thing for sure, I dont have to feel frustrated by my mouse anymore.

Happy Chinese New Year

This is supposedly a joyous time for all Chinese. But this year, I felt as if there is a lack of something. But anyway, this year is different as the years before. My parents are once again going to be away: Mum at China and Dad at Manila. Not to mention, JWei is spending his new year at KL.

I spent the whole afternoon at Lynns' place today. Helping out with serving the guests, taking a nap and etc.

Tomorrow I will go house-visiting with my ex-classmates though I think I will ditch them before we even start visiting. Need to go to Grandaunt's open house as well.

A week off from work. Yupe, it will be so free for me.

Spring cleaning

Each year, in preparation for CNY, i will help out to clean the house. When I was studying last time, I have a lot of time to do cleaning around the house. Ever since i start working and Grandma is not longer at home to supervise me, I have not do much cleaning. Till recently...

I have been cleaning at night. Wiping the windows and cabinets.

I hope I can finish the cleaning up before the arrival of CNY.

Bond...James Bond...007....2007

Another year.

I actually wanted to recall back what i did every month but I stopped at February feeling like wanting to cry already.

So.... i end this post with a pic of my new contact lenses which are not very clear here but it is supposed to be grey colour....

Not in the mood

Christmas is really busy this year. Thinking about it, almost every year i spend Christmas wandering around in the shopping centres. This year Christmas Eve is a little special becase i had a Kazens' Christmas Party at my place. No adults supervision. The speed of all of us consuming the food was amazing. Super fast and the amount of food was just right.

Merry Christmas~~!

"Recycled" pic from the previous two years. Refer here (2004) and here (2005).

A few days before, my phone was barred due to no money to pay the phone bill. After more than half year of faithful monthly payments to Celcom, I finally ran out of cash to pay the bill and thus, the stoppage of services to my phone. Nevertheless, I became unattached to my phone despite of feeling forlorn.

Christmas eve, I accidentally dropped my bag on the hot jalanraya and due to my unattachness to my phone, I totally forgotten that my phone was in the bag. My phone went into a coma state and didnt respond to the electrical treatment. After a short rest, it finally regained consciousness and I rejoiced.

Christmas Day, dread came over me when I discovered that my phone will not allow any electricity feeding.

I fell into the hole of desperation and forlornness

I tried to cheer myself with a purchase of a new fragrance. I have always wanted to get a new fragrance for myself 'cause the ones I have arent my own choice. Thus, I bought Calvin Klein Eternity Summer. Special edition somemore le. Managed to get an extra freebie from the saleslady - using my super-cute persuasion power...(vomit)


Still feel forlorn le. Yuanz told me that his friend told him that there is a possibility that my phone might never be usable ever again. Shit la!

I wonder when will I ever recover le...
