World’s Earth day

Apparently, it’s World’s Earth day today and everyone around the world’s supposed to switch off their lights for an hour from 8.30pm to 9.30pm (M’sian time I guess) to save the environment, resources, reduce energy consumption, yada yada yada... Well, okay, I guess it’s fine, it’s not such a hard thing to do right? So yes, let me blog about updates this week.. I’ll say it’s been real fun and that I just HAVE to blog about it.. First, there was Rachel’s surprise-very-early-birthday party at the revamped Le’Boss, then there was…..







…..So there you have it!! TOLD you it’s a must write for me and a must read for you didn’t I? Life’s like awesome…*imagine surfer’s style drawl and gesture*

PS Part of the post cannot be recovered due to the writer’s unintelligible mumbo-jumbo written while trying(but apparently not succeeding) to type in the dark during Earth’s hour... The earth is saying she’s not sorry for all the inconveniences caused.

Qiu Ping’s pre-b’day bash at Autumn cafe

Yeah yeah, it’s the same ol’ same ol’…But hey, I’m not complaining so it’s fine by me, you jealous ppl, just take a look at the pictures instead if you don’t wanna read me yap on and on..
DSC00917








Qiu Ping in a really nice dress..
(Though donned on reluctantly as we poured water on her on purpose.. Lol..)








DSC04203







Such a Hawaian feel… 
Man, should have asked you to dance a hula dance 2 remember this day.. Ishhhh, too bad…








DSC04212Those that went to celebrate her birthday..Hope no one is left out in this picture!!
PS This picture was taken after oh so many shots!! Appreciate it!
PPS Why am I the only one in a sharp coloured shirt? Other than the lovely pink-shirt friend of qp.. 

Review on that cafe is… Thumbs DOWN!! My gosh, the service’s bad (though the waiter’s real cute =p), the food’s so-so, the place’s typical and the seatings? Crampy.. Ugh…Do not give this new place a try if you’re:
(a) Hungry, as they’ll take forever to serve you
(b) Going in a big group, as you’ll have to squeeze and refer back to (a) 
(c ) Expecting, anything at all…
The only good thing here is I guess, the Wii and the PS2 which are there for customers..But only if there’s a few of you there.. Otherwise, you’ll just have to fight for it.. Oh, and the other good thing may be the waiter/ waitresses  who’re kinda cute??(though one of the waitress’s darn rude/obnoxious/simply needs a slap on her skinny face)

That aside, since we’re celebrating qp’s birthday, I’ll let the complaints pass for now...And hope that everyone had much fun as me!! 
 DSC04243                                 May you have a GREATTTTTTTTTTT year, Qiu Ping!!!

Oh, and on a personal level, this is a special gift to QP, it’s a private between us thing so, don’t ask me why!! Lol..


Wanted to find one picture with 21 eggs in it but found out how hard that is so… Here’s 22, ignore 1… Oh, and check what the red egg says!! That’s SO for you!! My unique present to you!! Hahahahaha..

Aftermath of a holiday…

And no, it’s not about serious stuffs like litters tourists left behind, or fragments of tourist sites due to some bombs I encounter, or dead animals I saw due to pollutions we help produce, heck, it’s not even about those hot hunks I MAY encounter during the holidays.. And no, it’s not about how fat/ dark/ ugly/ broke/ sad/ regret etc I feel after a holiday.. Nope, those are well, those are not for me now…(maybe I’ll blog about those when I’m feeling bimbo-ish…) Right now, this post is just to show you what are still left (戦品=p) after those shopping sprees around places I went in the past one month plus… Lol…
DSC00869 Stuffs at the top of the pile are from Pangkor island, since the first blog post I officially wrote in this new site…
*They’re not fully gone simply because there are inedible stuffs like “keropok” that need to be cooked.. Or else, trust me, they’d not make it to this picture… Lol…*
DSC00868 Famous tid-bits from Ipoh and Sitiawan, Perak. As you can see, some are opened and are long gone down the toilet bowl track after digestion from my very effective stomach and intestines…
*Please forgive the disgusting-ness here*

UntitledSo if at anytime soon, you see someone like this on her way back to KL, well, you’ll know who that person is k?
*Hence, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT pass me your rubbish to collect or something or else you’ll get a good kick from my long, pretty legs.. Lol…*

Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait……x 1000000000000 to go home after the 3rd continous assessment!!! Argh……. And indulge myself in Japanese BBQ buffet with my family, and J. Co donuts, and Korean BBQ again, and mum’s awesome cooking, and..and.. and…. *drools*..

So, till then…This is the extent dentistry students study… That’s the way uh huh uh huh we like it..

Queue buster..

When down to the cafeteria for dinner one of the days as a change and was shocked at the loooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG queue!! I mean, I get the point we’re hungry and all but this..?? Amazing.. So…

We queued behind.. without even knowing what the whole big deal was..Lol.. Typical M’sians and S’poreans I guess, very the “”kia su” spirit… So, when we finally got nearer to the serving counter, saw a really nice sign posted up with this written on it..(Which really surprised me coz ….Well, just cause…) Was kinda anticipating whether they’ve even come up with a mascot and balloon-giveaways since it’s like such a rare event.. Lol…
DSC00871



“Real” chicken rice from Town…
(
!%$@%**& So we’ve been served fake meals all these while?? @!!@$%$&^^Now I know why they tasted so unreal…lol..)





But seriously, the queue was so long, (4  of us finished our meal and the last in line wasn’t even halfway to the counter..crazy I tell you) you’d think it was for a better reason like this…

DSC00871


Come get your “real” free kisses!!
1st come 1st served!!
While stock last!!
Terms and conditions apply!!
Limited basis!!!
..and no, I don’t know how a real kiss differs from my fake one…




Enjoy peeps!!

It's a blur blur world, lol..

Scene: Ground floor elevator lift door
Characters: My roommate and I with special cameo appearance by two other classmates

*Door opens and both of us went into the elevator*
Me: Hey, there's a cafeteria receipt on the floor.
Roommate: Really? What does it say?*Talking while chomping on a Mamee junk food*
Me: Someone bought two things totaling to RM2.30, wonder what they were?
Roommate: Let's see, RM1.00 and RM1.30. Hmm, a "roti canai" and a glass of tea? *continues chomping on the packet of Mamee*
Me: No way, roti canai doesn't costs that much ok? Maybe "roti telur"? Or "roti planta"? How much do they cost anyway?
Roommate: I have no idea, then maybe a can of drink?

Right up to this moment, did you notice what was wrong with this scene??

Though no prize will be given away, but I really do applaud you if you could guess what was it, you know?Hehe...

Give up??

Ok, I'll continue with the story...

Me: Maybe the receipt was for...
*Door opens*
*Roommate steps out in between the doors*
*Lo and behold, Aik Munn and Kimra were standing outside looking kind of surprised.*
Roommate: Ei? There has been a cancellation of class which we're not informed about is it? *continue eating her junk food happily*
Aik Munn: Huh?
Kimra: Er....
Me: *saw the pots of flowers and the main entrance doors* (Yes, all ye who managed to guessed correctly...This was the problem with the whole elevator scene) Dear roommate, we didn't press the button for third floor ler...
Roommate: *Still looks at me funnily and "protecting" me from going out to the "third floor" in case there's no class* *while somehow managing to hold on to her precious packet*
Me: *Clears throat* We are STILL on ground floor. *Kinda wanting to pull her back into the elevator immediately*
*Aik Munn and Kimra comes in*
Roommate and I suddenly realising how silly we were and laughed out loud at the situation all the way to class and in the class till our stomachs ache..

So yeah, there you go people, the newest blur incident from me.. Lol...

Aik Munn: Yeah la, funniest thing was how your roommate can still cling onto and continue eating her packet of Mamee...

*Roommate's name have not been published to try to protect her image... Oh wait, her permanent image has always and will be Miss Blur leh? Hmm... Oh wells, you guys be nice and try not to put her name in when commenting too alright? Sigh, I'm such a kind kid... Hahahahaha..*

What dental students REALLY do...to unwind =p

All these are true stories k?? Based on real people and all...Unfortunately, I can't put pics up of us being all stressed out and all to compare, like a before-and-after-effect or something to show you why we need to relax, cause the pics would scare the wits outta anyone reading my blog who wanna study dentistry like me.. Lol...2 bad, if not, you'll KNOW how little things, simple in your life, can be such special moments for us.. *sigh*....

Haha, am just kidding!! We're not THAT pathetic.. Anyway, if I were to look for the right pics to scare you, it would be a piece of cake..I just need to arm myself with a camera for like, 5 minutes near exam time and I'll get a week's worth of pictures I can do assignments with under the title "modern people-students especially,dental students to be exact- has shockingly high levels of blood pressure/stress/white hair/etc etc!" You get the point.. Btw, I just notice it so happens all the pictures below are taken from our dental technology lab.. (Hmm....wonder what it implies?? =p) So here are the pics!

Hand made oven baked yummy cookies by Youming!!! XD

Ok, fine, they're actually acrylic products.. You know, like those you find on dentures(or false teeth as they're usually known)ur grandparents used to scare you with??



DSC00832

Closer look at their happy (though crumply) faces.. =pDSC00830

Here's me at my work station... Looks real nice ain't it? Not really the same as the imagination you cropped out of some old rotten bench with bad illumination and us bending over some loud equipments with earmuffs on huh?? Haha, I assume that's how the older ancient dentists used to do their thing..





211120081606


Lastly, a friendly reminder to you to clean your teeth properly or they'll all get pulled out and fixed on a model like this for the next batch of dental students k? Smile!!

*I wrote FRIENDLY reminder didn't I? So you're NOT allowed to throw shoes at me ok? And that means no casualty by friendly fire either!!*

Weekend getaway... Part 2

Yes, as promised, this is the second part of our weekend fun, friends and food getaway... *Sigh, if only we were doing this in some remote area lik Timbuktu or something, it'll be more exciting huh?? ok, scratch that, I'd rather prefer an island.... dreams away...*

Saturday-28th of February
The next morning, with groggy eyes and all, we somehow managed to wake up in time to go to the market to buy stuffs for BBQ later at night... Since the market is just like any other market, I shall spare you the sight in case you start imagining disgusting odours drifting thru your nostril soon... Anyway, then we had breakfast at this Chinese coffee shop where Jo En-our hostess and my darling roommate-and her family eats faithfully almost every morning.. A whole new level of dedication ppl!! Lol...
DSC00803



A bowl of noodle served there.. "Lo mee"
Simple and delightful
...








After sleeping thru the most the the rest of the afternoon, lik this...
DSC00381



Can you spot how many "bodies" are there?? Lol, check out a dead ostrich body there as well!! Hahahahha...








Ahem, joke's aside, then came lunch, where Jo En (supposedly, bwahaha..), her mum and her maid proceeded to come up with this spread.. Yum... Funny thing is, even after Jo En announced loudly that we're eating at her place, AGNES, was so blur, she went in the room to get her purse out... Which resulted in all of us laughing quite loud... Lik... Earth to Agnes, Earth to Agnes, come back now, come back now!! hahaha...
DSC00808




Yum!!! Which we all promptly gulped down leaving her other family members empty in the stomach.. Sorry, uncle!!!






You would think we would be full after that meal right, but NOOOOOooooooo, there we go again, out we go, for a tea time meal at a Siam stall near Jo En's house at Taman Indera, Jitra.. Do leave me a comment if you wanna know the exact location.. Since it's a Thailand thingy, do expect the food to be sliiightly on the spicy edge... But the "ais kacang" there's mmm, mmm, YUMMY!!! The best most of us ever tasted... Serious!!! Just check the pictures out and decide for yourself...
DSC00809



Spicy & sour "som tam".. It's a Thai dish made up of shreds of unripe papaya, peanuts, their signature paste and chilis..Real yummy but a tad too spicy for me...Not recommended for those with a weak tongue...





DSC00810




There're fried noodles, rice etc served as well... A so-so review though...







DSC00811


The main attraction there would be this humongous giant of an "ais kacang" tower!! Yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..... And unbelievably cheap!! It's priced a a meagre price of RM1.20.. yes, you've read correctly, ONE RINNGGIT AND TWENTY CENTS!! Like, WHAT??!!!! Trust me, this is a not-to-be-missed-thing...



After that huge tower for each of us girls, we are actually ready to brace fire and smoke for a barbeque session... We are Malaysians, hear us-or our stomachs to be more exact-ROOOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!! Scary actually, haha, but we don't really care so...

2009 pui shie's b'day 059


Jo En and Youming finally having a chance to be in the happy affair...
Which is kinda spoilt by Melissa who looks like she just smelt a tankful of shit, human excrement... Hehe...






It was supposedly a trip to celebrate Pui Shie's birthday but it was more of a friends' get-together-party which was really really nice... So, Happy B'day PS and thank you for being born on this day ...(so that we get to do all these now...hahaha...)

I don't know why, but Agnes and Pui Shie were like suddenly addicted to alcohol-Agnes especially even though she's such a weak drinker (Whoops, pls don't attempt to make her drunk soon please...)-so Jo En whipped up another round of alcohol for us.. A toast to mock an older bunch of us or something.. Lol...
DSC00816






Vodka with lemon juice and a dash of salt







2009 pui shie's b'day 080

Weekend getaway...Part 1

*Disclaimer: I will NOT be held responsible for the increased gastric juice secretion nor the bulging eyes after you read my blog, in particular this post... Nor will I be blamed for making you jealous/envious/beh song/不爽/妒忌 at how much we ate and how nice the food was... You are forewarned... Proceed with caution*

So, in summary, in one word, wonderful, no, marvelous, no, magnificent, no, (ARGH!!!) Ok, let's make it just plain AWESOME!!! (Does this still count as one word??) Oh wells, so yes, 28th of February is Pui Shie's birthday and we chose to celebrate her special day by celebrating it for.....3 days in a row!! Haha, yes, we're VEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRY free nowadays.. Book a date with me ASAP..(*while stocks dates last* *rules and regulations applied*)

Friday-27th of February
Kidnapped the b'day gurl to my car and blindfolded her with check this out, heart-shaped-paper-sunglasses!!! Made lovingly by her roommate... Lol, now THAT was a sight to behold.. Next drove her for almost an hour all the way to Autocity in Penang while lying to her that only Agnes n I were there with her... Her other roommates, Melissa and Youming were in another car drove by my reli goofy good roommate, Jo En and (yes, I'm dedicating this post to you first...proud or not?? Hehe..) we were chasing each other the whole journey.. How we manage to race and yet make the blindfolded b'day girl fall asleep? Well, I don't know myself either!! Lol... Our destination- a buffet place that serves all things Asian-Tao
.

The outlook from the main road..

...I presume?? I dunno!! I'm not the one with the menu!! I just... eat... haha...






DSC00776






Fried shrimps and sorts...








DSC00782





The Jackpot sushi that Pui Shie ordered cause of its nice Chinese name.. And liked it anyways even though she's like such an anti-rawness-person...







DSC00781







Tofu







You wouldn't believe the amount of food we ate that night! okay, it wasn't an-extravagantly-awful-much due to unforeseen circumstance with Jo En's car but all in all, I would say I would definitely go back for another round next time.. It's incredibly money well spent as there's a free flow of sushi, salad and drinks for the whole time you're there... Do check their website out if you're interested.. (A friendly advise to Tao though, do update your site, it's plain... unhelpful actually... Oh, and Tao should consider hiring me as their ambassador, I'll be real good in being one!!! Lol... To blog readers interested, I would suggest you giving them a call to get more information..)
*Not all dishes were photographed due to the amount and the speed we ate that night...lol...*

After this all-you-can-eat-pit-stop, we're finally on our way to Jo En's house mansion castle in Jitra.. Been there twice so this would be my third time there.. A bit paiseh actually... =p So yes, other than the irritating outpour of rain from heaven above for almost half an hour to an hour at night which caused driving to be at a crawling pace, we reached her house around 11.30pm.. Then at the strike of 12, we did NOT celebrate Pui Shie's b'day.. The reason?? Cause it's fun to tease PS I guess.. so she waited... and waited... and waited... and waited somemore... Lol... But yeah, we weren't that bad so...

DSC00798






There you go, her b'day cake!!! (Btw, why are there candle holders together with purchase only in Jitra???!!! It's so unfair!! KL and SP are such a stingy places...)





DSC00792





The really surprised but happy b'day girl -who's in love with her uni apparently-after waiting for so long wondering why are we so dreadful.. Lol...








2009 pui shie's b'day 053






A photograph for remembrance sake..
HaPpY BiRtHdAy Pui Shie!!!!

(Btw, we were all in our pajamas already coz we were "getting ready to sleep"...)





DSC00802




Bacardi and Coca-Cola that Jo En cropped out on the 1st night... *Yes, there are more to come...*

So, cheers!! Hold your breath till Part 2... even 3 of this series!! *clink*!!
