Plan something this weekend!

Arrrr..Weekend is here! But, it will be a busy and fruity one! =) This Sunday is Haloween o..Do you have any plans?? Two years back, I spend my Haloween in MOS with those bunch of crazy guys, did not dress up and regretted as hell. So last year I decided to pull a bunch of people to dress up and parade around The Curve. And it was a hit! hahaha..

Us 2009

We celebrated Mischa's Birthday at Tony Romas..after dinner, we started to parade around The Curve. Their main objective, to scare as many people as they can. tsk tsk. Guys. haha. And they succeeded! So many people screamed when they were scared from their back. And many people took picture with us as well! Seriously, it was F-U-N! Everyone dress up for Haloween. =)

So what should you dress up for Haloween this year?

Pirate maybe?

Sorry..I can't resist taking picture! =p

Farmer? I have no idea what is this..haha

, 

Phantom! This is pretty cool! =p

As for me myself, most probably going out with college friends, but not too sure yet. haha. But either way, I will still dress up for dinner and walk around somewhere! =p Its Haloween! So what am I going to dress up this year? It shall remain as a secret until that day! muahahaha..

. 

I saw a rainbow in the toilet today! So random!! =p

Mind the eye bags. I was damn tired in college today! I don't know why.It  is so freaking hot, and we have long hours of boring classes, resulted in the very restless me. When to check out the status of my .PTPTN, and guess what, I finally found that lady, and she told me its either first week or second week of November! WAH! Instantly happy and totally forgotten that I was being restless. =p Money can really a person happy ya. tsk tsk tsk. 

Bon weekend mon amies. Avec L'amour! Bisous. 

Lost

Sometimes, you will be surprise by the kind of reaction you give when a certain situation occurred. And conclusion is, I am like a small kid. >.< Sad but true. Probably it is a phobia as well i think.

When I was very very young, perhaps 4 years old, I followed my aunty to facial. While she is doing her mask, I had to go to the toilet. So she gave me the direction and i went out all by myself. The toilet has two entrance. When I am done, I came out from the second entrance. Then I realize something was wrong. I walk walk walk and walk, I can not find the shop. The place is like a maze itself, because it is twisting with a lot of small corridors. I was lost in a mall. I panic and I started to walk everywhere, and ended up near the escalator. 

Luckily, i met a bunch of secondary school girls and they actually bring me around the whole floor to find for my aunty. and thank god I found it in the end. If I remember it correctly, I did not cry. But I was scare and somehow that feeling still lingers in my mind. 

Technology played an very important role in our life nowadays. But when the battery died, it is nothing at all. And so, I thought I lost him. I can not get through his phone, and he is nowhere to be seen. The seat was left empty, and mind you, the mall is HUGE. I panic, and I even went to the toilet to wait for b in case he went to the toilet. All sorts of thoughts started to wander in my mind, did he went to the public phone to call me? Did he went and find us? Did he went to the car to charge his phone? 

I was damn scare and nothing seems to be logic to me. I called his phone again and again hoping that it will get through. I walked like a headless chicken hoping to accidentally bump into him somehow. Thankgod the phone got through. I started to cry. @@ I know I sounded stupid, but I was really damn scare that I lost him. 

He went back to the car to charge his phone so I can call him. As I thought, he did went to find a public phone but can't get any, tried to find us but can't, so in the end he went to the car. 

Dolores said, if next time you can not get him, as a last resort, you can go to the Information Counter.. =)

' There is a girl who lost her bf. Aaron Teh please proceed to the Information Counter thank you. '

hahahaha. I think it is pretty good ya =)

The point is, please don't go missing again. If you are lost, i will be more lost. And I will not let you leave me far anymore, and will definitely charge phone before leaving anywhere. =p

And oh, it was our 16th Month-anniversary. =)

I LOVE you darling! like ALOT! <3

The good old toys

Such a good news good news..Some classes are ending pretty soon, leaving out some revision and consultation classes for our exam and research project. Fuh! Meaning we can finish our classes earlier than usual! Arrr. So long my late classes. =) Hello research project! Our nightmare, and hello dissertation! It is going to be a busy month Mr December.

Money money come come! Work work work to get extra money for holiday! Wheee~~ That is part of the reason I work, another reason is to gain more experience. Probably because I am a curious being and never worked for events like that before, or I just want to attend the talk without paying 200+ and of course gaining a little bit of income at the same time, its a win win situation for all isn't it? If not, why would I want to be a student helper! ngek ngek.

The good old toy

Do you know the little vending machine where you put in some coins and turn, then a ball ball will roll out with some little toys inside? Today, the boys tried that and it is pretty awesome. Considering the place is pretty run down and a typical chinese groceries store. This is what they get.

A 50 cent robo

Two incredibly shoot-able rubber band guns! How awesome is that?

Them with their toys

Me! =p

Us! <3

p/s hey. my Sore-throat and flu is gone gone. how fast is that? Keep up the good work body! <3

People! Take care of yourself and don't fall sick ya!

Stop that winding

Okay..my body finally gave up fighting all those virus flying around me..Even in my dreams, my subconscious mind was telling me that hey, your body is going to shut down soon. Beginning of sore throat and flu. Damn. Come on body, you can fight them.

Seriously, can you just be happy for like once? Once! One day happy and six days emo. It is your mind that controls your fate, not fate who controls you. If you change your mind set, then probably things are not as grey as you think it is. When good things happen to you, you will appreciate it for awhile, then the next day, here we go again. Think too much and make your life miserable. My god. 

I wanted to tell her so bad, please enjoy your life for once and appreciate everything that you have now. Even if  the one standing in front of you is the one for you, with your mind bobbling insecurities and non stop winding, one fine day he would get tired of it and walk away. 

But, I should just shut up. People may say, before you say anything, look into the mirror. Oh well, Its up to you all to think whatever that you want and I can not stop it. I sincerely hope that one fine day she will wake up from her misery, and be happy. 

Everyone has that dark personality hidden somewhere inside your body. It is like cancer. Once it breaks free, it will start to spread to  everywhere. If you don't control it, you will slowly be eaten by it, bits by bits. 

Enough of gossiping. I am feeling tired again. I Must rest well to prevent it from getting any worst. People, do take care of yourself alright? The weather is damn bad nowadays. Nights! =)

Hello Forehead

Hello forehead! =)

I had decided to abandon my bangs and grow my front hair longer. I shall see how long I can last before I chop it off again ya. =p Yeap. Many people told me big forehead very good ar..got good future ar..can shooh hantu away ar..YEA RIGHT! haha. For me, huge forehead is like exposing everything to everyone and I feel insecure. But, having bangs for too long is pretty boring as well. So! Hello forehead! =p

Oh ya. Dont worry about that picture. I certainly did not get that specs though I think I look fine with it. =p I was having fun editing pictures while waiting for B. haha. I din't know it can do so much. 

Bugger money! Why are you bothering me so much! ishhhh! I have tonnes of things that I need. Let me see~~~

1. Shoes ( Okay. Thanks to Taylors for having such wonderful rocky road, I think my heels are going to retire very soon. )

2. I need to get more lingerie! ( Worry not. It is not those sexy lingerie, its my basic up and down stuffs. hahaha. Do you know the more you wear and wash, it will get looser? )

3. Many Many people celebrating their birthday in the coming month. Where is my money for pressie!??? @@

4. Holiday Holiday! ( Of course you will need money to enjoy your holiday right? I am not staying at hotel and eat mee cup lo! =p )

5. Clothes! ( I am seriously telling you, I think the last last time i bought anything for myself, meaning clothes etc, will be more than 6 months ago. Ke lian or not?? =( )

6. France ( Trip to France only includes air fare and accommodation. Food is not. So tell me, no money eat what? Air?? I am sure it is damn delicious. Boooo~~~ =( )

7. Xmas is coming! ( Jingle bell jingle bell...Santa Claus...could you please grant me more money this year? Pleaseeeee~~~ )

The list can go on and on and on really. I just have to wait for one more month. Cross my fingers cross my fingers! =)

p/s 39!!!! I was so surprise to see this number after I took my breakfast. Did I loose weight again? @@ Probably my breakfast was too light. Time to nom nom nom nom nom. 


p/ss Came back from college, took my lunch, and I dozed off for almost three hours. >.< So how tired I am and how fattening it is. hahahaha. 

Random thoughts

Decided to delete the previous two posts that I had updated and just put it together! Well, yesterday I have to make a decision between two very different scenario. A lot of events and things falls on the same date, which is 30th of October. Wai Mae told me it seems like it is a good date.

To attend or not, and to help or not. This is the question.

Well, I guess at some point in your life you will be standing in cross junction where you have to make a decision and decide what is the best for you at that moment. Juggling between the pros and cons of both scenarios, thinking hard how to make the best decision so it is a win win situation for both.

I must say, thank you my dear friends for being such an understand bunch of good friends and understand my situation. Love you guys loads! =)

muakssss! 

As I was drying clothes outside, I spotted a butterfly flying around the garden.!I was damn happy! haha. I immediately ran into the house to grab my camera. Thinking, please be there please be there and yes! It is still there! =) 

Not bad huh? The butterfly was flying around and I still manage to get some clear shots. =)

I can not even recall when was the last butterfly I saw. I know I sounded very 'jakun' now, but seriously, I think butterflies are very rare in city nowadays. And for me, i consider myself lucky to be able to see one this morning. haha. Happy!!! I am very easily satisfied right? =p 

I found back a few photos taken during our diploma times, and I must say, some are very hilarious. haha. like this!

>.< Yeap. I know!

As I was looking at this picture, first thing in my mind, My face was chubby sial! haha. oh and yes, this is how I look in kitchen last time. I think it was three years ago! haha. I did not kill anyone dont worry, I think this is the juice from the frozen raspberries we used in pastry class. =p

Those were the days. 

Before housekeeping practical class

Service

and I love this pic. XD

Those were the days. So young and naive. haha. Certainly missed those days where you are just so young and free, nothing much bothers your mind, all you want is just to spend some good time with your friends. As we grow older, things change. No matter what it is, life goes on. Live your life with no regrets ya people! =)

Bf's dress

As I was complaining about the terrible weather these few days, here comes the heavy rain storm out of no where while we were going to college. Most of us were soak in rain and what's worst, the air con was super cold! Arrr. This is Malaysia's weather after all. =)

I tried something new today. 

Its call the bf's dress. =p

Yes. I curi B's formal shirt, put a belt on it and voila! I have a dress! Suppose to not wear a short pants in it, but I think it is too obscene in college, so wear only! =p Not too bad ya! I should have known B's shirt is this comfy earlier, so I can curi his clothes.muahahaha.

I look thin here. Its the shirt okie..I did not loose any weight. =p

As a conclusion! I LOVE bf's dress. ^^v

Weekend is here! and I've got to start working on our marketing research paper work now. Oh Oh! Our trip is almost fully On! yay! Just need to wait for the person in charge to check whether they had received our deposit or not! Can not wait can not wait! And of course our little journey to Sabah early next year. It is time to save more money save money! Arr! I am so broke. =p Hope my parents will sponsor me a bit to Sabah since they are the one who suggested us to visit my brother there. muahaha.

I took some time to read back some very old posts I wrote in the past. Fuh! I was very very emo ya. haha. Zhi Lin now and the Zhi Lin two years back was totally different. Life before this was very dramatic and I had suffered from many emotional ups and downs. As for me now, I am enjoying the smooth ride and enjoy every day as it is. Good progression Zhi Lin! and Keep it up!

Have a great weekend people! loves <3

Baby Baby

Head pain head pain head pain again! Stupid weather! Put that aside first..

LOOK AT THIS BABY!!!!

Seriously? 

HE IS DAMN ADORABLE!!!!!!!!! like SUPER ADORABLE! ARRRRRRRRRRR!!!! hahahahaha.

Can my baby look like this too?? hahahaha

His real name is Moon Mason and he is a mix mix baby. Father is a Canadian and Mother is a Korean. His debut appearance is in 'Baby and I' a Korean movie. 

Thanks to Eunice for intro-ing me this movie, I am obsess with this baby! hahaha. How can there be such a adorable baby in this world!! his eyes ar!!! @@ HUGE wei. Okay Okay, probably I personally likes babies with huge eyes, so I think he is damn damn cute! Baby baby baby baby ~~ I want baby like this! haha. Wait first, let me check my own eyes first. =p

Okay what! Quite big. =p

Fine! Its my contacts that makes my eyes huge. =( Anyways, I want to do Lasik Surgery in the future. I hate wearing specs because i felt nerdy and ugly, and I don't want to make my eyes so tired by wearing contacts everyday. Eyes are eyes, I should have taken care of you in the past. Regret! Regret!

Oh baby baby baby ~~ Seriously, I think I am going to dream about you again tonight. >.< 

Dumb once more

Headache headache headache! I got a feeling I am going to get sick if I don't take care of myself now. (T.T) Please don't fall sick now. Stupid hot weather! Grrrr~~ All your fault!

Since I start my Higher Diploma, most of the people that I hang out with are guys.Don't ask me why really, I just get along with them I guess? I think they are also use to the fact that I am the only girl in the gang ( Besides Mischa who lari to France dy =p ) . I myself 'sur un coup de tete' ( did not think much ) and went to Kuantan for my last training with 7 guys for two months. @@ Seriously, that time I really did not think much and just feel like running away. Opps. And I just found out the things they do behind my back..YER~~~ hahahaha.

Hanging out with guys recently means I get to know and understand them a bit more. Probably everyone thinks I am the naive one in the past so they don't really expose me to all these 'knowledge'. Now slowly, bits by bits I started to learn more and I am not surprise really, but I started to tell myself that ' Hey, guys are like that. ' Conflict with my personal belief yes, emo of course, but hey, thats life and the reality. So no matter what it is, I have to be understanding.

If it was the me in the past, I would have been emo for the entire day and kept it as a 'silent bomb' in my heart that will explode at any time without thinking of a solution. And I would just blame the other half.

As for now, I think I grew up a little and manage to hold myself back. Seriously, reconsidering the emo-me in the past, I am doing great now okay? haha. If you do read my blog frequently, you should know how emo I was in the past and how different I am now. I am a very transparent person when it comes to writing my blog because everything I write, is what I do. I think I should give myself a credit for being able to control myself and being a little more mature. Though I know I was being childish earlier. Urgh! Stupid me!

Learning how to stand in his shoes and think slowly, and learning to understand 'manlogy' more. haha. I said before right, I like to look at girls more than guys? haha So when we were walking around college, I will say, ' ohh, this girl is pretty tall '..then everyone will start looking and started to analyze it. I seriously can not believe I am doing this with them! hahaha. By being closer with them, I started to realize many many things. Whether I had digested it or not, hmmm, give me more time and I will learn slowly.

Many things I said I will learn slowly, when I say slowly, means really S-L-O-W. haha. After all, I have to fight with the feminism in myself and adapting it with man-ism. It is not easy really. So please bear with me, as I am still learning. =) Sorry if I did something that my action defies what I said ( Sitting facing my cupboard is something new really, and I seriously don't know why I did that! hahaha. When I think back of it, I felt really
stupid! =p ) And please forgive me for my stupidity. =)

After all, I am not a perfect girl. I have flaws, and you know, that is my biggest flaw. Sorry for you who have to bear with it. Nevertheless, I love you lots.

Know your boundaries

I really don't know why, my body is getting tired, tired and more tired recently. Is it a sign or aging or is it just because classes are tiring? I wonder ~~ Seriously, why are there so many November babies! haha. I am really broke wei..I think I have to owe some of you pressie until I finally get my PTPTN money. Sorry peeps! 

Someone told me a theory behind so many November babies. Don't get mad at me k? Well. 9 months before November is February right? So what so heboh about February? Valentines Day! arrrr! This is THE day where everyone gets romantic and gear up for a great date. So guess what happens next? Oppps. Baby bomb! haha. Lame but kind of true at the same time. 

** The statement below is absolutely not based on my current situation. So no worries =)

A person who doesn't know his/her limits and cross over the boundary to create unnecessary havoc should be classified as the most selfish and  idiotic person in this world. Sorry for the use of word in this, but I really REALLY hate people who are like that. 

Seriously, if you already know clearly that a person is in a relationship, please stay far far FAR away even though you still like/like this person. It is the rule of universe to not disturb someone who is in a relationship ( well..MANY people broke this rule and that is why there are so many affairs out there. DAMN ) 

It is a HUGE big NO-NO to sweet talk with a person who is in a relationship. Meaning, I miss you, love you, dear darling baby whatever is a NO-NO! 

No matter how friendly you are, or whether you are a very open minded foreigner, it is not good to do that. Seriously. Maybe because it is the way we were brought up, or we just can not accept that. 

 The weird thing is, I really did not aspect a friend of mine to be shaken by this problem. Well, no matter how tough you are or how good you are, this will be something that will make your insecure because you had finally met someone who is worth being jealous of. 

Though I had experience pretty much the same problems many many times in the past before, I still don't know what advice to give other than 'trust' and 'honesty'. The scary thing about me in the past is, I actually confronted that girl and asked her to know her limits and stay away. I still can not imagine I did that in the past. I must say, I was very brave at that time. That was also because she had really stepped on my tail and I can not stand it anymore. So the moral of the story is, don't ever step on my tail, because I really will BITE. 

Just hope that this friend will pull it through and don't scare me in the middle of the class anymore. haha. 

Hopefully tomorrow will be a great great day. Same to all of you as well. (6 v 6)

Rainbow story

While I was sleeping soundly in the morning, a heavy downpour of rain started, I grabbed my phone to check the time..praying that I can still sleep..but..

'Shikes..ten minutes to wake up..Nevermind..continue sleeping first..Zzzzzz'

Nevertheless, I snooze once and jump right up to get ready for college. Arrr. What a great day! It is cooling and we have Shepard's pie for breakfast. While nomming our food in the car as usual, suddenly a sight struck me! 

'Its a rainbowwww! ' 

 

Rainbow!

I always felt damn good if I see any rainbow in the sky because for me, its a good omen and my day will be a good one! I told b this afternoon..During SPM time, I don't know whether you guys remember it or not, I actually saw three rainbows while driving to school. If I am not mistaken, it is Bio paper. haha. I felt sooo lucky on that day. 

And indeed, today was a good good day. 

** B wore white shirt today, and I keep praising that he is very handsome today! haha

** We only have class until 1.30pm..YES! 

** The weather was very cooling and we actually slept for three hours. wohooo~~

** Vivi gave birth to two cute piggies. Again! haha..this is her third time giving birth

** B had a French Exam today and he said he had no problem. =)

** Dec trip ON! wohooo~ 

Arrrr. See? Told you once you see a rainbow in the sky, your day would be a great one! haha. Maybe it is psychological, but hey, it is not wrong to believe it right? Its just the beginning of the week and I hope that everyone will have a great week ahead. 

Journey to Bouquet Garni

Now I shall update on my journey to seek referee for my resume..=) Well as most of us know, in a resume you will need a few referee, normally it would be two or three. I only have one so far, which is my ever trusted restaurant manager..haha..Sorry to trouble you ya Max. As for my second referee, I asked Pn Siti about it but she said she is not really suitable because she did not taught me in my practical classes so it would be a bit unfair to appoint her as my referee. In the end, I had decided to ask for Mr Murad ( Our Food and Beverage practical class lecturer in Higher Diploma ) permission. But the problem is, he had left Taylors University and opened his very own restaurant Bouquet Garni in Shah Alam..So here we go, five of us travelling all the way to Shah Alam after our interview session.


Welcome to Bouquet Garni =)

Kitchen and Mr Murad in Action! Wohooo~

Open Kitchen

Yes! Mr Murad as the Restaurant Manager!

Seriously, I have nothing to say but SALUTE to Mr Murad. He is the Restaurant Manager, Head Chef, Bar Tender, Purchasing Officer etc. Talking about multi tasking! haha. 

Its time to makan makan ( I am very very hungry now! T.T )

Starter

Prawn Ragoon 

Deep Fried Prawn with cream cheese and wrapped with wanton skin

This is pretty interesting actually. Mr Murad said in USA they will normally use crepe to wrap the prawn filling, but it is too expensive to do it here so he used wanton skin instead. You get the crispiness of the wanton skin and also the creaminess from the melted cream cheese in the filling. The only thing I think is missing from this dish, is Thai Chilli sauce! haha. Well, actually it should just be eaten just like that, no sauce require.

Chef Special ( Might be named as Curinara in the future! haha )

Spagetti pasta served with chicken and creamy curry flavored sauce using evaporated milk, chilli padi and curry leaf.

Personally, I think this dish is very similar to Chinese Butter chicken, butter prawn ( you get me right? ). Using evaporated milk instead of cream added a little bit of Asian touch and sweetness in this dish. Chilli Padi gave this dish an extra boast of spiciness and flavor. The spagetti is al dante and cooked to perfection, just the way i like it. 

Seabass Papillote
Seabass fillet with lemongrass, cherry tomatoes and lime served with butter rice

The sauce they used to go with the seabass is very fragrant with the aroma of lemon grass and also the lime. The rice is nicely done as well. Its a okay okay dish. 

Balsamic Chicken with mushroom pasta

Balsamic glazed chicken breast served on a bed of pasta with mushroom sauce

I LOVE the pasta really. The creaminess of the sauce with the earthy saute mushroom and a whole chicken breast is a thumbs up dish. A little let down with the chicken because the balsamic vinegar is hardly noticeable but it goes very well with the sauce though.

Pan Roasted Rack of Lamb

Pan Roasted Rack of lamb served with saute vegetables like turned potato and cauliflower, confit cherry tomato and mash potato.

This dish certainly reminded me of a typical Taylors cooking. haha. The rack of lamb doneness is perfect as it is medium well requested by us, the sauce is a thumbs up because they did not use the 'magic powder' to enhance the taste, and the mash potato is made from scratch. 

The best part of the day ----- Dessert

Cheese Cake

It is nice as the cheese cake is very soft and has a nice texture. It is not too sweet and goes very well with the strawberry sauce. But I think the base of the cheese can be improve more as I like it flaky as well. =)

Chocolate Fondant


Melted centered chocolate with Earl Grey gel served with Vanilla Ice Cream and chocolate sand

I like like this dessert because it is done perfectly and the chocolate just melts in the center, and the Earl Grey gel is something different that we had never tried before. It is very mild but compliments well with the chocolate because it balance the sweetness of the chocolate with the bitterness of the tea. Thumbs up!

Pandan Creme Bulee

This! Is a one of the best creme bulee I had tasted so far ( though I seldom eat..=p )..Well..The pandan flavored custard is done to perfection as it is creamy and it just melts in your mouth. The lightly torched ( it looks a bit burn in the picture =p ) sugar on the top gives an extra crunchiness and a tad bit of bitterness that goes very well with the custard. love it love it. =)

Pineapple Indulgence 

Flourless cake with layer of pineapple parfait and jelly garnished with pineapple paste.

This is definitely the super star of the day! I LOVE it! The top part of the cake is actually home made frozen pineapple ice cream with a pineapple cake as a base. The pineapple paste on the side reminded me of pineapple tart we had during Chinese New Year. Overall, personally I think it is a very happy and festive dessert because it reminded me of Chinese New Year. It is not overly sweet as it is not a heavy dessert, and it gives you a sweet ending for your meal. LOVE IT! =)

Us with Mr Murad

I miss Mr Murad very much..College ( oppsss..I still can not get use to saying it is University now ) without his sarcasm is quite boring and plain especially with all the theoretical classes. Wishing him all the best with Bouquet Garni and hope he will not continue to lose weight in the future. haha.
