Watch what you eat

Currently suffering from a little tad of headache because of Korean Overdose..I am getting addicted to this new korean drama called Dream High because it reminded me of Korean version of Glee..Thanks to the winter holidays, most of the English drama that I followed was on hold and it had been taken off  pps. Darn..

Writing my literature was as hard as I had expected, and it took me almost two hours to construct and write ONE page. It only defines ONE term in my research topic. Easy job? Arrrr..kill me. haha. Well, just need to put in more effort and heart into it. I will be fine i will be fine. Each and everyone of us will be fine. Just that we all need to take a long walk in Hell before rosing up to heaven.

On health

We are taking heath and nutrition subject this term and we were shown a video on 100% plant based diet in class two days ago. I don't know about the rest, but it had a great impact in me. Well, it goes like this.

As you can see around the world now, we are all getting Americanize in a way or so. Either it is in our eating habit, music, clothing, gadgets etc. Or heart deceases like heart attack, stroke, angina or obesity, diabetes and cancer sounds familiar to you? These are all caused by our changes of eating habit through the years. Why people in the past who depends on vegetables as their main source of food can live longer than those whose main diet consists of meat now?

Like what our parents always tell us, in those days : 'We only eat chicken during Chinese New Year. You all the new generation are so lucky nowadays. ' Since people say eating beef, pork or lamb is bad for health, they  encourage people to consume more chicken and fish instead. But is it really better for health? We always perceived chicken and fish as a healthier choice of meat since it is white meat and it is believed to have less fat than others.

In this video that we watched, it mentioned that eating chicken and fish is as bad as eating other meats. It has the same effect to our body as other meats. Meaning, it can still lead to sickness like obesity, diabetes, cancer etc. The reason why is because animal based food contained bad cholesterol that will clog our blood artery. It is also called 'The Animal's Revenge'  where we kill animals for food, and the animal left a little gift for us, which are clogged arteries. So no matter what meat you consumer, whether it is white meat or red meat the results will be the same. But it is just the matter of how long it takes to clog your artery.

In this video, it says that one glass of milk is equivalent to 21 piece of bacon. Sadly, milk is not as good as what we think. Heart deceases like hyper tension, heart attack etc happened because the arteries were clogged by all those cholesterol we consumer everyday. Not surprisingly, plant based diet is able to reverse the clogged arteries. It is said that many people had recovered from heart deceases because they practice 100% plant based diet instead of taking surgeries.

Cancer. We all know that cancer cells exist in everyone's body. Our body immune system is the best cure for cancer as it will prevent the cancer cells from multiplying. But nowadays, our immune system were weaken by  our eating habit and therefore, our immune system is not able to kill the cancer cells. That is why you see so many people were diagnose with cancer nowadays as compared to the older days. In this video, it says that research had proved that 100% plant based diet is able to strengthen our immune system and enable our body to fight with the cancer cells without going through chemotherapy etc. A saying goes like this, Animal based food feeds cancer, plant based food feeds immune system.

Do you know that by consuming more animal based food, our menstrual cycle will starts earlier than usual and menopause will start later? Earlier menstrual cycle will lead to higher risk of breast cancer.

Don't believe me? Try reading this..

So yes, plant based diet is proved by many doctors that it is able to reverse heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and obesity and improve our health drastically. But the question is, will we start practicing it now?

After watching the video, most of us know what are the benefits of 100% plant based diet, but how many people will actually practice it. As for me, at least not now. I believe that we are still young and we should eat while we can. Not to say, i will eat Macdonald everyday and consume meat like some carnivore. haha. We have to eat everything in moderation of course. When I reach the age where I should starting watching what I consume, perhaps after 30 years old, i will definitely start practicing this diet slowly.

The reason why I wrote this in my blog, is for those whose parents are suffering from high cholesterol level or anything that I had mentioned above, perhaps you can suggest to them to start practicing this diet slowly. I am not saying you must cut off the meat from their diet straightaway. But maybe do it in a weekly basis and slowly practice the habit of eating vegetables as their main diet instead of meat. Well, i would definitely propose this to my mum ( so she could control my dad's diet ) when I go home. =) After all, no harm eating more vegetables right?

Oh! one more point that i remembered. Rearing animals for our consumption also leads to a lot of environmental issues like green house effect and deforestation.

p/s we were suppose to prepare a note based on the video. So ya, writing it down in my blog so I could remember it. =p Eat up your vege people!!! Wash properly before that though.. pesticides, herbicides and sometimes, hormones...Yeap, we are all living in dangerous world where everything we consume seems to be harmful to us now. tsk tsk tsk..

Celebrate life

Today is a good good day! haha. If you had been reading my blog, i think you might able to guess why am I happy. At least I did achieve my minimum requirement in my results, satisfied but also, I can do better. Well, I suppose all those worries in the past few days can be chucked away into my recycle bin now. Aza aza fighting in the coming future! I can do it!

Pure Crapping =p 


Do you have like those blank out moment at the most unexpected time in a day? For example class. haha. Well, my blank out is not really blank out because my mind is still working and it is definitely not working on the class lectures if it happens. haha. When I blank out, I will stare at a specific corner of a classroom or at a person for a long long time until someone pulls me back. And if you happen to ask me what am I thinking, the most likely answer you will get from me is, I don't know. haha. It is similar to dream where you can not remember any single thing after you woke up. Is it just me or everyone is like that?

Back to business

Oh yes. Back to why today is a good day, I just bought something like a boots from an online boutique and it just arrived today! Well, I thought it was a good idea to get one because I am going to France soon and it is less than RM50. It fits perfectly and looks cute too. I self comfort myself as an early birthday pressie for myself so I won't feel so guilty. =p Oh yes, this boot can also be worn in Malaysia as it is low cut and can be match with almost everything. Happy ~~~~~

Something a little more sentimental

As I was craving for ice cream the other day, we went out at almost 11pm to buy one. Yes, I am officially crazy. haha. It was just a short 15 minutes trip to the convenient shop to get one and yet, so many things came into my mind.

I was waiting in the car and observing people around me as usual. I saw a disabled guy ( Blind ) walking slowly next to the car. He was using his cane/stick to guide him and walking with caution to avoid stepping into any holes on the road.I always have this utmost respect for those who can live their life independently even though they can not see anything. If me, who can see everything clearly ( with my contacts on of course ) can fall down easily, what about them?

God knows how long they had trained to walk independently around and what kind of obstacles they face in their life. Imagine a world where you can not see anything, and all your can see is a black space ahead with nothing but just a black space. You can try it by closing your eyes and ask someone to guide you around by just holding your hands. No sneak peek of course. As for me, I always do this in college whenever the sun is too bright and I can not even open my eyes. But I suck big time because I always have this imaginary friend in my head that will give me false alarm that if i take one step ahead, i will fall down. Fear I suppose. So I really salute them for being able to continue with their daily routine even though they can not see. Salute!

But a minority people in our society misused this to earn a living by bringing around a person who is blind to ask for money or by selling tissue. Some of you might think that I am cruel or heartless for saying so, but for me, this is cruel to them. Imagine when you can not see a thing, and yet you have to be lead around everywhere to beg for money. In my observation, normally the guy is the one who can not see and his wife is the one bringing him everywhere. If the wife knows how to think, she should go out and get a job instead of bringing her disabled husband around. At least he would feel safe to be at home where he is more familiar with. Money is hard to earn nowadays i know, but I suppose there are better ways to earn for a living other than begging?

Anyways, it is purely my personal opinion. Maybe what you think contradicts with what I say, but hey, no offence ya. In another hand, I feel grateful for not having any disabilities or any sort of sickness since birth. If you think about how lucky you are, there is no reason why you should not be happy isn't it? Live life to the fullest with no regrets. =)

Happy Happy!

Thanks to Michele I had solved my storage issues!!!! SO DAMN HAPPY when it works! I went

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when it works..no joke really..I was struggling with the new blog host as I know nuts about it and I have to start from step 1 if I want to start a new blog...I am probably the noobest person on this earth when it comes to this kind of thing..The new theme has already been frustrating enough..then comes all those widgets on the side and all...It is DAMN mafan...But thanks to this copy and paste thingy  from Facebook, I can easily upload any pictures as long as I uploaded it in Facebook..

So from today onwards, anything I feel like uploading in my blog, it has to be in my facebook..(@@) oh well, fret not, I will privatized the album so you all won't be annoyed by my syiok sendiri pictures...=p 

Wauu..I can not believe that I started my blog in 2007 and it has been almost four years now..Correction to my facebook status..it is four years as 2011 just started..=p Wauu..it proves that I am not 'hangat hangat tahi awam' ya. Quite proud of myself now...muahahaha...Alright..I suppose to be down because of tomorrow..Forget about it! Whatever happens, happens...That's it and I am off to bed soon...Thanks again Michele! =)  

Stupid!

I have butterflies in my tummy now...I am darn darn worried! Can tomorrow never come? =(

No matter what I said in my last post, it is for self comforting purpose. I am currently in a down mode because I am freaking worried for my results that I am collecting tomorrow. I will show you what is going on in my mind now..

Mind ::::

'What if I get less than 15? ( For your info, our result is base on a 20/20 basis ) I will accept it humbly, will not complain about it, and go home with slight dissapointment. (T^T) 


What If I get less than 13? I will hold my tears, and go home and cry like no one's business. 


What if I get more than 15? I will say ' thank god. and I will work my ass off in this term and will think twice, three times and four times because making my judgement.'   '

Self conflicting now, regret much because I should have think many many times before making my judgement..But, what is the point of worrying now right? I can not do anything to change my results now. I knew all those, but I just can not stop my mind from bothering me now. Oh save me....

To make things worst...people, please do not register for Picasa Web Album..The problem starts when I wanted to upload pictures in this post and it says, you had reached your storage limit. Then the horror! ALL my pictures that I uploaded in the web, was store within picasa web album and it is all taking up spaces. The thing is, if you wanted to get extra space, you need to pay. Never mind that. I shall delete my albums. If I delete the album, meaning every SINGLE picture I deleted, it will be deleted from my blog!!!! Alright, who else would read my old post other than myself right? I will then delete..

WHAT!! I NEED TO DELETE EVERY ALL THE PICTURES ONE BY ONE!!!! (@@) What the hell!

I think I should consider use other blog website instead of blogspot that links to GOOGLE AND PICASA! Bugger! Sucks big time!

Worries 1 2 3

My Current Worries ::

1. Results

Not because I did not study, it is because I think I might made a wrong judgement which resulted in a wrong answer. And I can only sit tight at home while waiting for Monday where I can collect my results. Well, since when I am not worried for my results? Grrrrr~ Just, pray hard I get the minimum result I set for myself. 

2. PTPTN

Thanks to the forever slow and inefficient PTPTN, I might fall into a financial crisis. Oh wait, not really financial crisis, but France trip financial crisis. Just hope my parents is good to me enough to sponsor me first. If not, bread everyday yo..=(

3. Dissertation?

Nahhh. I think everything is on track and it is all falling into place. I hope. haha. Just need to follow my timeline and I think I can be stress free during my France trip.

4. Internship

Arrrr. This is a tricky one. See, we wanted to do our internship in overseas if possible. It would be a great experience and we may have a different working experience. There are many offers coming around and yet, the competition  is high because we have so many students in our badge. The thing is, which offer is better? And even if it is better, can you get it with so many other applicants? Conflicts. 

Ohhh. That is all. Now, i sincerely believe that everything will have its way and no matter how worried you are, there will be a solution. It is just waiting for you to explore yourself. Whether it is internship or dissertation, things will be done no matter what happen, but whether you are liking the results or not, it is all depending on how much effort you put in the first place.

As for myself, I am a very impatient person. Whether it is waiting for people to reply my email, sms, message,anything! I just can not stand waiting. Just as much as I don't like other people waiting for me and I feel like the guiltiness in me will kill me if I do. Not to say, I am always punctual and on time. Just, I try my best to be on time. Like my guinea pig. We only posted it online for one day and I am already complaining why no one is replying me! Just ONE day. B said, be patient be patient. After a week or two, we finally sold three guinea pig babies together! One shot done. =)

The moral of the story is, impatient is a bad habit, real bad habit. You can complain, you can whine, you can be worried like the ants on the rice cooker, things will still be done in the end. Just, how long you have to wait to get it done.

So ya, I will sit back and relax now. Like that the Chinese said ' Shun xi zi ran', simply means, just follow whatever that leads you. =)

Oh Sabah! 2

Continued~~

Dinner time! Our initial plan to a famous seafood restaurant failed because my brother could not remember how to go to the restaurant..haha..after rounds and rounds of strolling around, we finally decided to go to this popular seafood restaurant spot in the town..

Shuang Tian Seafood Restaurant

But people, please be aware though..there are four main seafood restaurants in this hawker center and all selling seafood. We both thought that the first two restaurants are like tourist trap as it is located in the front with tonnes of people pulling you to sit down. So we decided to go for this restaurant as they have more people and the choices of seafood are more.

Live Seafood yo! =)

Most of the clams, Prawns, Lobsters, Fishes, oysters are all alive!

This is the cutest thing ever..Scallops

Why is it cute? Because while staring at all these seafood, the scallops actually fight with each other and splashing water. Okay. Call me a 'kuku' fellow like what Mr Pierre said, I had never seen a live scallop in Malaysia before. =p

Oh yes, Live Crabs..Too bad, we won't be eating these

More seafood!!! Most of it we can not even name it..

After looking at all these seafood, our eyes were almost crossed and we were spoil for choice. This is the first time ordering and eating seafood on my own, and I want to eat everything!!!! haha. Too bad we are on a budget budget. So after dueling with ourselves for more than 15 minutes, we finally settled with these...

Stingray Bakar, or BBQ Stingray..

THIS! is awesome! haha..I prefer my ikan bakar to be wet like these. I like the splurge of spicy sauce on it and the extra sour kick of the limau to go with the fish. The fish is cook to perfection, not too dry and not too wet..Seasoned well and the belacan is spicy sial! haha

I have no idea what is this call, but..its AWESOME!

It is just blanch and served with a sauce on the side. The sauce is slightly tangy and sweet, goes perfectly well with the clams.

The inti is damn HUGE lorrrrr~ =)

Soft Shell Crab to satisfy my brother's and his gf's craving..

Of course, how could I resist to not try one. =p Normally when you eat soft shell crab in any restaurant, you are merely just eating the shell and the batter, not the meat. But this little creature over here, is filled with crab meat. Thumbs up!

Hua Jiao Sotong ( Salt and Pepper squid )

Paku Pakis

How could I live without vegetables? No way no way. We ordered this Paku Pakis ( I always call this paku pakis..haha..can anyone tell me its name? =p ) cooked with only garlic. Sounds simple, but taste wise, Best! I always like the texture of this vegetable. It is like the a very thin asparagus with leaf. hmmm..sounds wrong..haha..Anyways, try it then you will know. =)

Whole of food for the four of us! Sinful sial..

And yet, we finished everything..=) =)

Feeling hungry already? wait..there is more! =p

The next morning, we went to Gaya Street for their Sunday morning market..My brother brought us to this famous restaurant there for their Ngau Chap ( Mixed Beef Noodle ) and laksa for breakfast..

Laksa

It is a very mild laksa but packed with flavors. This is not a typical laksa you find in Penisular Malaysia..Prawns, shredded chicken, shredded egg and coriander are the condiments you find in this laksa. I love the Mee Hoon they use in Sabah. It is not as thin as those we get here and it doesn't absorb ALL the broth away..I like!

Ngau Chap ( Mixed Beef Noodle )

This bowl of noodle is filled with assorted condiments like beef balls, sliced beef and other parts. Well, I would say it is worth it because there you have so many condiments in one small bowl of noodle. But taste wise, I wish the broth has more kick. haha. But nevertheless, it is still a bowl of beef godness. =)

After eating, It is time to explore the morning market. 

The first thing that greets us in the morning.. python..@@ I never like reptiles EVER in my life..especially huge ones like this..But at one point, i think it is quite cute and I find myself conflicting with my own principal.. hahaha...

This cute little sausage dog who wanders around the whole morning market with his owner is definitely a crowd pleaser. So cute with his chinese costume and a fake hp on the side. 

They even sell pets like dogs, cats, hamsters, chicken, rabbits and fish in the morning market..

Sunset in KK

It looks like heaven isn't it?

And that ends our little KK getaway...Three days two nights is definitely not enough to see everything in KK..We missed Kundasang because of our limited time..My brother said from Kundasang, you can have a great view of Mt Kinabalu..But nevertheless, at least we went to Pulau Sapi and had a great time there as it is really beautiful..The food in KK is great, but not cheap! So if you are planning to go KK, do get your pocket ready because it may be slightly more expensive than KL food price. So if we are planning to visit KK again, it is time to see Mt Kinabalu!!! =) =)

Oh Sabah!

Hello bloggie! Been missing for a few days, and now I am back. I am a bit lazy though. =p Anyways, we just came back from our little Kota Kinabalu's getaway two days ago. Burnt and got toasted on my back and hands, ate nonstop, walk walk walk and walk, snorkeled swim snap pictures, Holiday!

It was a three days two nights little trip for us as we had booked this last year when they had this promotion for air ticket and hotel. Special thanks to my dad for sponsoring our air fare and stay and also my mum for sponsoring our food fund. haha. 

Flew over to Kota Kinabalu and reached there around 12am in the morning..Pity my brother who have to sneaked out and fetch us. Forced him to bring us for supper...=p Oh well, what to do, I am a demanding sister and he is hungry too..muahaha..Went over to Fook Yuen Restaurant for this =====>

Bread with Kaya and Butter

You must be wondering, what is so nice about this bread..it is just some ordinary bread with kaya and butter..Well, that is what I thought also..but once I eat it, I want more! hahaha..Can you believe that three days in a row I went to Fook Yuen for their bread? It is as though I had never eaten bread in my life before..This bread, is not toasted, nor steamed. Just a ordinary white bread with kaya and butter. So what so special about this bread? It is fresh, damn damn soft, the butter and kaya just adds some extra creaminess and sweetness to the soft soft bread...Once you bite it, the bread just sinks in..Arrrrrr~ I miss it already..

We stayed at Tunes Hotel.. Well, to my surprise, the room is pretty clean and comfy despite it is really small. Thanks to the extra mirrors in the room, white lighting and wall color, it gives us an illusion that the room is bigger than what it is. Satisfied. =) 

The next morning...Nom Nom time! =) Destination? Fa Gei Fish Noodle..

Look at the crowd! When you see this kind of crowd, the food ought to be good..

Fu chok! This is awesome!!!! Crispy on the outside, and they are definitely not stingy with their fish paste.

Mixed Fish Noodle

When I first look at it, I thought of fish head noodle. And indeed, it is like fish head noodle. But the difference is, this one I did not asked for extra milk in it so the color of the broth actually comes from the fish bones. It is very much flavored with tomatoes as it gave some extra sweetness to the broth. When it comes to the noodle's accompaniments, they are very generous with their fish paste, fish balls, fish cakes, fish fillet and also tomatoes. Now I know why there are so many people are patronizing this stall. Oh, a little catch here, it is not cheap ya. This bowl of noodle cost me RM7 ( large ). tsk tsk tsk. But come to think of it, it is worth it. =)

Next stop Jesselton Point!

There are four main islands that you can visit, which are Pulau Manukan ( The most developed Island ), Pulau Mamutik, Pulau Sapi, Pulau Gaya and Pulau Suluj ( These two are not so popular i think ). We choose Pulau Sapi simply because Pulau Manukan is quite developed..haha..

Tell me, isn't this paradise?

The water is sooo clear and there are so many fishes around even though it is just near the beach

Those are fishes people!!! Look at it! haha..

Camwhore camwhore! =) =)

We rented a mask and fins to snorkel around..Too bad my tube was leaking and I have no choice but to come up to the surface every time I need to breath. To our surprise, even though we just snorkel near the beach, we actually saw a few Nemo! and B got bitten by one! hahahaha..Last time when we went to Tioman island, we did not even saw any! tsk tsk tsk. I must say, the marine life there is pretty healthy. So please please maintain it so we can have clear sea water and ample of  fishes swimming around.

It was a hot hot hot afternoon..and guess what, I forgotten to bring my sunblock! ARRRRR! That is why I am burnt and toasted now..tsk tsk tsk..people! REMEMBER to bring your sunblock whenever you are visiting any islands please..

Nice right? The water is clear, the sky is clear, the sands are soft and there are many many fishes swimming around you so what more can you ask for? I am loving the islands in Sabah! haha

So ya, if you are an island lover like us, please do visit the islands around Sabah..It is just,,,perrrrrrffffeeeect! haha..

TO BE CONTINUE~~~ ( Time to sleepp! XD )

Oh tripssss!

Firstly, WE ARE GOING TO FRANCE IN ONE MONTH TIME! ARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! 

YESH!

Finally, after almost 3 and a half years of long waiting, our France Study Trip's date had been set and we finally knew our groups! OH YAY!!! I am so excited! We are officially leaving on the 21st of February for two weeks. Yeap, damn short and nope, it is not only a holiday trip, it IS a study trip. We have test over there you see! No joke really. It is going to be so so fun! 147 person travelling together. hmmm..I wonder how are we going to do that.haha. 

Don't don't remind me about my financial problem. haha. I am having a huge headache because of it. Still trying to plan it properly so I will not have to suffer at the end of the semester, but I wonder how am I going to do that since I am going to France also. oh well. Money money come come!

Oh, we are going to Kota Kinabalu tomorrow evening! another YESHHHHH! haha. Finally, a little continuation of our holiday trip even though classes had already started. muahahaha. Apa buat, that time they have promotions for Air ticket and rooms. YESSSS..Now I can finally see how beautiful are the islands in the east coast. 

Happy Holiday to me again!!!! =) =) =) 

BON VOYAGEEEE! 

So what am I studying?

Finally, some interesting subjects in our degree program. Not only the subjects are pretty interesting, the lecturers are quite funny and passionate as well. Why am I saying it is interesting? Let's look at our subjects this semester.

1. Tourism Economics

2. Managing guest experience for food service

3. Food sociology

4. Contemporary issues in health and nutritions

5. Organizational behavior

6. Financial Management

Well, I am not really looking forward to Financial Management and Economics because it is perhaps the least favorite subject of mine, but luckily the lecturers are pretty good and cool this semester. At least they are not a living lullaby in class. =p Contemporary issues in health and nutrition is definitely my cup of tea as they are talking about organic food, weight issues, food nutritions etc. My personal favorite topic! Must highlight the weight issues topic! =p  But, I must say, it is a struggle to stay awake in class because our lecturer is so slow and soft. Oh well, you can never have the best of both world right?As for other subjects, we are in good hands this semester as I think the lecturers are very well organize and know well what they are teaching. Our balls are finally rolling! =)

Many challenges ahead, and quite many lecturers reminded us about our 'tut....' although it is just the third day of class. haha. Mr Pierre referred it as 'tut.....' or ' The-Subject-That-Must-Not-Be-Name ', and Mr Elangkovan referred it as our stress point or the Demotivator. Because once you start reading one journal, you are already demotivated to continue. Very well said indeed. =) We finally had our schedule all planned out and hopefully it will go on smoothly as what I wrote down. A lot of motivations needed. A LOT! 

Actually, by looking at the subjects we are taking now, you must be thinking, what do these people study? They are studying about economics, finance, nutritions, food sociology, and not forgetting the subjects we had learned before this, law, accounting, marketing research, human resource, statistics, applied science etc. Well, that is the life of a hotelier I guess. You must know everything! Even if we are not specialize in either one ( Except for culinary and F&B of course ), we still need to know everything. So do you think it is still easy to study hospitality course? 

Okay okay, thats all for the not-so-interesting-topic on my course. Just in case you are wondering what the hell do I study in University. haha. 

Lesson ' Deux '

' Look into the mirror first before talking '

This implies to politicians who are constantly promising us this that this that, educating us this that this that, what they do in return is the total opposite of what they say. So yes, Look into the mirror first before talking.

Also implies to our lovely college, you teach us customers service, you asked us to smile in front of the guest. But hey, if you own staffs can not do that, what does that reflects on you? So yes, Look into the mirror first before talking

Lesson 'Un'

" Think far but not too far "

New skin.

Deleted the previous post, no specific reason for doing so. Some words are better kept off the limelight. Oh well, just another barrel that I need to face, nothing much as life goes on..Think positive and tomorrow is another day..=)

I just changed my blogskin! =) Finally, I can get something that is not as boring as my previous pink blogskin. I always think that it is damn hard to change it because I am not familiar with all these. But, I just realize they improved the system a little and everything is so easy now. I think on the top of my blog there is a link where I grab my skin from. From there, you can find some very cute blog skin and they have this little guide for you to follow if you don't know how to change it. Easy Weasy..

Random stuffs in my mind

1. Don't sleep straight after you eat. At least for me. You will get airy tummy and a heavy head.

2. Don't think too much. Perhaps life is easier if you don't think so hard.

3. What happen to the freedom of writing without thinking about the consequences? Life is much easier that way.

4. The power of mind is really scary. If you believe in something strongly, your mind will act in a way to accommodate what you believe into reality.

5. If you had done your part, then you should walk away with no regrets, because you know you had done your best.

6. We are not small kids anymore. Drama should be out of the picture.

Alright. Off to sleep now. No point sulking over a spilled milk. Good day people.

Pro LIAR!

Firstly, let me let out some 'angin' out of my chest..

While driving nicely home from Seremban, there comes this junction where we are suppose to turn in. It is Green light of course, so we drive. Let me show you!

Okay..I know my drawing sucks..but bear with me..We are the purple color symbol, the taxi is the blue triangle and the bloody useless motorcyclist is the red arrow..Okay..The green rectangular is the traffic light. So..we are the first car at the traffic light, when it turns green, we go! Right? Then this stupid idiot motorcyclist out of NO WHERE, shoots up from the opposite site of the road and cuts into another road in front of us. What will your reaction be? You press the break right? Fine...Pressed then we thought okay, nothing happen.

Then, this IDIOT BUGGER taxi bang us from the back. We pulled back at the side and came out to negotiate. I am not racist, but yes he is an Indian driver. He asked us why we break suddenly. I say, we break before there is a motorcyclist who came out of no where and cut into that road, thats why we break. He said we should not break suddenly. He seems to be thinking we should have bang that motorcyclist instead of stopping! What a bummer right?

His bloody taxi, only had TWO small spots where the paint scrapped off A BIT, and it is not even that part where he bang our car. One okie la, its near his bumper, but another one is ON his car bonnet. May I know how the hell did it happen? He also claimed that his bonnet needs to be 'ketuk' ( which I dont know what the hell is that! ) and needs to repaint the bonnet because of those two tiny spot. Where else our car, the whole back bumper totally curved in towards the back tayar.

He keep saying that it is out fault because we stopped. Ya! Then we should bang into the motorcyclist and kill someone's life right? The thing is, it is not either anyone's fault but the STUPID motorcyclist. I curse this stupid ignorant motorcyclist who totally ignored the traffic rules and care less about his life to learn his lesson very soon! HMPHHHH! Okay, back to the taxi driver. He totally got my pants on fire and I started to argue with him. Because he keep claiming that it is our fault where else we are trying to avoid the motor. Come on, the taxi driver was not driving that slow either. If not he could have stopped on time.

OBVIOUSLY, he is trying to get some money out of us. He said he needs to cari makan la, fixing his car needs at least two days, its company's car la this and that. Full of crap. Obviously our damage is bigger than his because our whole bumper curved in my godness! He said, if we change our bumper, it will be around RM115 only, his painting and ketuk needs around RM200. Im like WTF! Then, he say he will call his workshop friend and ask. Come on! You are talking in Tamil and you think I understand? I don't even know whether his friend is a Mechanic or not. Then I say I wanted to talk to his friend and ask. Yes, he called, and he whisper something first before passing me the phone.

I am already on fire and I started to question his friend. His friend panic a little I think and telling me that he will call back in 5 minutes to ask his boss first. I wanted to compare the price of repainting his bonnet with changing of our bumper and he don't know anything and keep saying he wants to talk to his friend..He then hung up.. Not more than 1 minute later, he called the taxi driver again. Speaking in Tamil which I don't understand again. So obviously, he is trying to kon our money! Because I don't think his friend is even a Mechanic. The taxi driver say, Oh, you can get a bumper for RM115. Buy it and fix yourself. I am like WTF. You want me to buy a bumper and fix myself? Give me your friend's shop name and telephone number. He refused to

He wants to us to pay him on the spot. Asking for more than RM100. When we say want to report to police, he said don't want. Finally, Aaron's dad came. Settled it at Rm70. Well, seeing we are young adults so he trying to kon our money. When Aaron's dad say let's report to police, he refused. So either you take RM70 and go, or we go police station. We gave him that and drove away.

Later, I was told that if we report to the police, we are not at fault, but the taxi driver, Because he bang us from the back, so it is his fault.. That is why he don't want us to report to the police. This people! Trying to kon people like us thinking that we are easily cheated. So what you are a big fat dark taxi driver? You think I am scare of you? Sorry, but you met a fiery small Chinese lady and I am not scare to fight for my rights He can not do anything also, because we are in the middle of the junction where everyone is looking. If you are thinking that you can get more than RM200 from me, you can die. No way I will believe his lame story even though I don't know anything about cars.

So people, the moral of the story is. Motorcyclist are the most dangerous thing in Malaysia because no matter who is right, you are still wrong for banging a motorcyclist and they will try their very best to kon ALL your money. Whatever it is, avoid them as much as you can. Then comes Malaysia taxi drivers who are also pro kon people. If they say follow me to workshop or whatever, DON'T! Stay at where there are many people around so if anything happens, you still can ask for help. Don't be scare of them because they are big fat ugly idiots. The more afraid you are, the more they will ask from you. If you are bang from the back like us, you should report to the police if your negotiation is not going anywhere. Don't fall into their crap saying this will cost this lalalalalala, they are just trying to make some money from you.

Yeap..what a great second day of year 2011..But thank god our bumper can be pulled back to normal position so it is not that bad. But people, please be careful on the roads and don't get kon. God bless.

p/s phewww...All my angin gone already. Oh wait! Don't let me see you you idiot motorcyclist! *show fist*. And You! Big fat ugly taxi driver!! *show double fist*

Its time to wrap up 2010!

Zheng zheng zheng! One and half day more to year 2011! Year 2011~~ I wonder what is awaiting me? Turning 22 years old, going to France for our long waited study trip, rushing for dissertation, ending our last semester, starting our internship, graduation and finally, start working. Perhaps the most important turning point of my life, from a student, to an working adult. 2011~~

Before stepping into year 2011, I guess I should summarize what had happened throughout this year. While going through all the pictures I took this year, I realize that this year has indeed been a fruity one. So many things happened, it all happened so fast and I can barely remember everything. 

Firstly, I turned 21 years old this year. 

Birthday dinner

I did not throw a huge birthday party this year like any of my friends..perhaps it has been a habit of mine for not celebrating it with a lot of people, but nevertheless, I had a wonderful time with B. Dinner was perfect as usual. We were treated with sparking wine, sherry wine and beer, oysters, succulent ribs and paella in courtesy of my bosses. Thanks to my darling, I had the best black forest cake ever. =)

Then comes Valentines Day that clashes with Chinese New Year...

Had our Valentines lunch at Pasta Zanmai before rushing home =)

Chinese New Year..I still can not believe I forgotten to bring back my camera's memory card! Therefore I do not have much pictures this year, grab it from my friend's FB profile..=p

We had our yearly CNY gathering at Mr Goh's house =)

The End of Higher Diploma

Then comes my higher diploma finals...I still remember how my heart pumps and all the adrenaline rush during our final practical exam..The waiting was nerve wrecking and hearing stories from candidates before me is like putting myself on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered. All the tears in kitchen, all the cold sweats and emotional ups and downs during F&B exams, I really missed those now. hmmm. After so long, I still want to thank Wai Kheng for being next to me during the kitchen practical exams. Thanks for helping me at that time, and we are strong ladies ya! =)

I am truly grateful for my blessed results. Satisfied and totally relieved. And that marks the end of my higher diploma.

While waiting for our degree to start, we both went back to our last restaurant to work for two months. Reason being, needs some funding for our new handphone and also Tioman Trip. It was two months of real hard work, worked our ass off everyday. Every penny of our hard earn money was filled with all our blood and sweat, literally. =p But is it worth it? Totally. We had learnt a lot in these two months and met pretty interesting people everyday. 

Wai Mae's Convocation. 

She is the first among all of us to graduate from college. Me , Eunice, Kar Woon and Dolores went over to Inti College University to witness her glorious moment. It makes me wonder, how would mine be like? hmmm..Oh, I still remember my heels broke on that day and we ate the very tasty and popular Nasi Dagang after. =)

Melaka, Ipoh and Penang Food Trip

After we finished our higher diploma, four of us, Randall, Carlos me and B went on a food trip for a week to Melaka, Ipoh and Penang. We ate everything from chicken rice ball, cendol, Ipoh chicken rice, a lot of seafood, Hainanese food, the very expensive char kuey teow etc. For the entire week, we were never hungry. Keep stuffing ourselves with endless great food wherever we go. Hmmm. How I miss those time...

Our Girls Gathering =)

9 of us girls had planned this for a long time, and we had this all girls gathering at One Utama. We had fun talking, gossiping, had fun walking around and eating, had fun dressing up!! And of course, taking A LOT of pictures. =) Eunice! When you come back, we have to do this again! Missing you! 

Farewells, One after Another

Randall's Farewell

This fella, one of the best buddy I had in Higher Diploma, thanks to his never ending craziness, we had much fun in class. =) He flew over to Switzerland to continue his degree. I bet he had the time of his life over there by getting a hot girlfriend and also have the chance to travel around Europe! Jealous sial! Anyways, coming back in May next year. Gossip time! muahahaha..

Carlos, Reagan and Mischa's Farewell

All of us who attended their farewell..=)

Carlos ar Carlos, the king of Ngap, practically the leader of our class. Smart guy, fun but can be crazily insane at times, the mood lifter of our group decided to fly to USA along with 4 other friends to further their studies. Missing the Bak Kut Teh session, group study sessions, pasta buffet, none stop eating trip, and his 'Ngap!' in the class. 

Without these two mood lifters in the class, classes had been pretty quiet and dull I must say. Oh well, everyone has their different path to walk right? Farewell is never a easy thing to do. 

 Tioman Island!!!

Our little reward after working hard for two months. From Lang Tengah to Pulau Rawa, but in the end, we ended up at Pulau Tioman which can be easily access by plane. It had been almost a year after our last Pulau Perhentian trip, how we miss our island getaway! Now when I think about it, I miss the smell of sea breeze, wearing bikini around without fearing that everyone is staring, feeling the soft sands below my feet, dive into the chilly water, drinking V-Soy at night while staring at the sky, Counting the stars, surrounded by duty free goods etc. Arrrrrr~~~ The serenity and peaceful surrounding, I miss!

B's 21st Birthday

Same like mine, it was a simple and quiet celebration. I cracked my head from months to make sure that it is a memorable one for him, and i hope it was. =) 21 small surprises! haha..With limited cash in my hands, it is very hard to squeeze out 21 surprises okay! Come to think of it, I am still in short of one. Oppsss! 

Haloween~~

This year's Haloween was quite amusing as well, considering Jon with his moves which kept small kids entertained. =p Not forgetting, Wei Ren with his very HOT mask that made him sweat like a pig really! haha..

Moving on, we have Miss Dolores's 20th Birthday dinner!

It was a simple dinner with the few of us..Giving eye signals to everyone to write in the card, going into the toilet one after another thinking that she did not realize it. =p Im looking forward for your 21st Birthday!

I Chopped Off My Hair!

On a very rare occasion, I have the sudden urge to chop off my hair and I DID! I wanted to have a change, a new and fresher look instead of long straight hair all the time, so i went and chopped it off without second thought. Yes, I do miss my long hair now, but I did not regret doing so. At least I tried something new and different instead being the boring old me. =p 

Kar Woon's 21st Birthday

Not forgetting Wai Mae's Birthday party, unfortunately I can not attend because I need to work on that day.I knew she had a blast one also. =) Kar Woon's Birthday party was rather a touchy one for me. She had been through a lot of hard time in these few months and slowly learning how to stand up by herself. Listening to what she said on her toast, made me realize that hey, I have to appreciate everything that I had learnt through this years and appreciate everything that I have now. =)

Not forgetting our Cameroon trip, Winter Solstice and also Xmas celebration that I just updated not long time ago. 

Even by looking at my hair, I realize I had change tremendously in terms of appearance in year 2010. Let's have a look at the crazy camwhorer's 2010's essence! haha..kononnya~~ =p 

I intentionally choose some weird pose pictures for fun! =p I took damn a lot of pictures this year! tsk tsk tsk

After writting this, I realize that I had achieved quite a lot this year. Not only I had maintained my results, I manage to pull off two months of work just to earn money, had a few successful plans, manage to stay healthy all year round ( THANK GOD REALLY! XD ) and surprisingly happy at ALL time. Compared to two years back, this year I am on cloud nine! 

Now I really believe then if you keep a positive mind and make yourself as happy as you can, everything will go on smoothly. Many people said they are happy to see me this happy now, and indeed, I am very very satisfied with where I am now and how lucky I am today. 

I must say thank you to my parents who had been treating me very good this year. I did not received much scolding, nagging yes ( How can you avoid that right? =p ). Thanks for supporting me with my very expensive tuition fees, and thanks for reminding me that I always have my family's back. I can not wait to see my huge family portrait hanging on the living room's wall! =) 

To all my friends who had helped me whether in my studies or just being my happy pills and gossip partners, thanks for being there even though some are miles and miles away from me. Oh yes, surprisingly I did not meet any fakers and bitches this year! hmmmmm..A sign of a good year for me! muahahaha! XD To those who are true to me, you guys rock my world and I love you all! =)

And to that special person who brought light to my world, many words had been said whether in email form, in card, vocally, or in blog. All I can say is, thank you for continuously shinning my world with hopes, happiness and love. Thanks for giving me the chance to love you and thanks for being with me all the time. Because of you, 2010 had been the greatest year I ever had. =) I love you Baby Aaron. 

I guess this ultra long post will wrap up year 2010. I shall welcome year 2011 with high hopes and anticipation that it will be as good as year 2010, if can, Better! =) 

So Au revoir 2010, Hello 2011!!!
