Fri-Day-Out

It has been a week since I met up with them @ Camp and this would probably be the last time I'll be seing them before i leave... T.T

So yea....met up with them @ OU and originally we're supposed to meet up with each another at 5 pm...but sinc I have no transport, so I went there earlier after lunch....and who knew that i'll bump into Bas and Jules too....didnt know they were there with parents either...Walked around the whole of OU to get bas' desire and desperation for pants but ending up Jules buying all the stuff....sorry Bas...I guess you're just too tall *nvm...you'll find one that suits you..hehe* Went to every single possible shop that sells male pants but still fail to find one...you can imagine how difficult it is for him to buy one... =S

Soon enough....Adeline reached too and so we met up and walked around some more till Ka Yi reach and time to eat...=) Seriously full of entertainment from the Shii family and it was a great spending time having full blast of laughter non-stop.*yea....you can imagine that* Full-Load I'm telling you...imagine on the amount of exercise gained without much effort but just laughing.LOLZ...

Dinner was @ Delicious and the food was indeed Delicious...

*Ade!!!I need foodie pics and also our pictures....send it to me when you come back from your hols yea....=)*

Till Then...Toodles~~!!

P/S: Pics will be posted when i have them!^^

P/P/S: This will be my last weekend spent in Malaysia....=(

~JoLlY oH cHrIsTmAs~

Ho Ho Ho....Christmas is in town and so is Santa~!!!what more can you ask from a festive season like christmas where everyone gather around like thanksgiving to celebrate and understand the true meaning of Christmas.....However, though im not christian but I've always wondered how Christmas are spent for christians *are they exactly like the movies?*, and I've always wanted to try celebrate Christmas in the right way...but sadly never gotten the chance...

In accordance to that matter....how did I spent both Christmas Eve and Christmas?? My Christmas Eve this year aint any special or exciting like last year though....I spent Christmas Eve on my bed watching Pans Labyrinth (some Spanish Movie...but it's nice, so not a problem). It was still okaayyy though i didnt went out to party with any of my friends cause i needed to wake up early for an early outing down town, Pavillion *some rest needed*

As I've mentioned, spent my Christmas today with my parents in Pavillion and it was PACKED with people....*People Mountain, People Sea* So much for recession eh?i guess not so in KL....YET? The deco's for this year was comme si comme sa only...i prefered last year's one more as it looks more...enchanted. As for this year's deco's, they were alil....too goldy...and there weren't many decorations done inside of the mall...but more on the outside with that HUGE and TALL Christmas Tree....but all in all....still acceptable...hehe..^^b

Mommykins and Daddy

Deco's by The Loaf

Main reason for going to Pavillion was to....

1st: see the deco for Christmas

2nd: to buy gloves, long johns and other necessary stuff for the last time...

3rd: food and tea time of course....haha

So....all 3 tasks were completed but task 2 was alil different...it was done half at Metrojaya and the other half in Pav. It was all because there weren't any shops that sells Long Johns in Pav...so had to walk all the way to Metrojaya to buy them....not too sunny today, luckily....

Tummy calls for food dont they when they're hungry??so we had lunch @ Madam Kwan's and had their Nasi Lemak and Daddy had Nasi Lemak Bojari.....freaking 20 Ringgit for one Nasi lemak Bojari....but it was for the quality i guess....but but 20 Ringgit??alil too exp dont you think...(it's also the only restaurant that sells Nasi Lemak that can have my dad's appraisal besides Village Park, DU. He actually said it was better than Village Park..!!After so many tries....at last there's one which can win over the one they love so much...haha). And soon enough it was time for tea time...evening tea seems more like it since it was nearly 4 when we went for a drink...Reccommendation for coffee drinking @ Pav?well...besides Starbucks or Coffee Bean....a go-to place for coffee break is The Loaf...Their Freezeee Coffee is one of the best!the ice that they put in the cup are filled with strong coffee liquid and the overall of the taste is Amaziiing....try it out...worth the try even for those who anti-coffee. Sides, an average cup of coffee wont do any harm to you.... =)

Nicey nicey Freeezee

Wonder what's this?it's called U-Hu!U-Hu!Say Cheesee! (some cheese stuff...nice but pretty pricey)

Well...that was how I spent both my Christmas Eve & Christmas....How did YOU spent yours??


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

P.R.O.B.L.E.M.O

I.Am.Officially.Dead!!!!!

yes....i seriously am and im not kidding...how in the world would i know that Swiss is gonna be THAT cold???and the forecasted weather will be FREAKING NEGATIVE....NEGATIVE!!!!i certainly didnt see that coming....!!and how can a SUNNY winter be THAT cold???!!!there's sun and NOT wind...how how how??? i know....dont be fooled by the sun but but but.....how can???im so worried that im not fit for that kind of weather...how about my winter coat??it's not WOOL....can i stand it when i reach there??gossshh....i certainly hope so....*please let it be a slightly warmer winter when i reach*

Plus, i didnt plan any shopping for long johns....and now im so dead....i have to think and plan to buy one now....definitely i still have time to go shop for it but then im gonna get scolding kao kao from mom cause i didnt bought it last time and i INSISTED that i dont need to buy it now and buy it there if i really need it....however, receiving the bad news from Miss Wong saying that it's VERY VERY cold there and long johns there are expensive....*i seriously wanted to go back time to where my mom asked me if i needed long johns*....so that i wouldnt get any scolding....*argh*

Till Then...Toodles~~!!

PP/S: Ling!!!buy me nice nice stuff from London yea....i know you're going for a shopping session there....Thanks in advance!!muahahaha....=P

More to Come?

In conjunction with "Tong Yuen" festival (chinese festival with glutinous balls) on Sunday, an indulgence to Abalone's, Yee Sang and definitely the famous glutinous balls for the festival. Originally, these glutinous rice balls should be hand-made by ourselves and has the believes that each glutinous balls that you make and eat is equivalent to another year older....BUT knowing that everything now are pretty much commercialized and can be bought in the supermarket, and breaking alil rule for this year due to busy-ness, mom bought them instead. Not forgetting, they are supposingly to be "kosong" a.k.a wrapped with nothing. However, dad only eats those that are not EMPTY, therefore, the ones we bought are wrapped with other ingredients such as black sesame *my FAVOURITE*, peanuts and red bean paste....It's the 1st time our house celebrates a chinese festival besides Chinese New Year...so yea...it came in a surprise when i was told that we're gonna eat home on a SUNDAY.

Traditionally, people who does these festivals have to undergo some praying session but like i said....we never did this before, so we practically had a dinner which are partially chinese and partially western....Fusion?nahh....dont think so..Anyway, mom plan to indulge us with delicious Abalone and Mushroom Stew served with a thin slice of Poultry complimented with dad's white wine....Yum OH Yum!!!! And not forgetting, since im gonna miss CNY this year so mom made yee sang at the same time to satisfy my cravings for it....hehehehe.....Muacksss....me lovey zee yee sang very the muchie...sadly i will only be eating it once and it's before CNY...T.T *i know ling ling....you must be missing the taste of it too and salivaing with the food mom made...*

Anywhooo.....im down to 10 fingers now...and it's counting down everyday till the very day....freaking out alil!!And guess what????!!!!my luggage's only 26 kg...muahahaha...means i can bring an extra 4 kg more to fit my check-in....why not maximize it when you can?we requested for it anyway....*wink wink* But having to think how am i gonna carry my super-duper large, heavy and over-sized luggage will be a big problem...*fingers crossed i have the strength to carry it*

Till then...Toodles~~!!

Book Mania

Apologies for the lack of post(s)......Though I'm on break but something has been keeping me occupied throughout my semester break this sem...Can you guess? Those who have been hearing me talk about it non-stop will be able to know what im so fully occupied in....hehe.

THESE are the books that have been keeping me occupied throughout the holidays....Okay....Pleaseeee dont call me a nerd, maniac, insane, crazy, lifeless or whatsoever....Seriously...I mean...i know it's funny that i spent most of my time reading story books but c'mon...at least they're not Encyclopedia(s) no?they're just Story Books....Books that are actually interesting...sides, i bet anyone who reads it will agree with me that they're just SOO SOO addcitive and agree that you cant stop reading once you start unless you end the whole series...which I actually did...finished the books in one row....and they're all very AWESOME books to read....go read it and you'll know what im talking about...^^

Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to catch the movie as it was a really wrong time to be released for me....it was exams and after exams everyone watched it in ahead of me...so now im left with no one to watch it with...T.T (though i know people said the movie sucked if compared with the book, but isnt it the same for Harry Potter?so i bet it wouldnt be THAT bad...plus, Edward Cullen is super sweet and Robert is CUTE~~!fits well for Edward's role....hehehehe....XoXo)

Okay...enough rambling and praises for Twilight....before everyone starts hating me for talking about it ever again...haha. It's been a week since my relatives came for a visit + stay at my house....and i miss them badly already...though i didnt spent much time with them *being so coiled to Twilight*. And even so....even if im not so coiled over Twilight series, i still wouldnt be able to go out with them...=( it's kinda difficult to look after so many kids when they're still young.It's gonna be last time i'll be able to see them till the time when i come back from Swiss. Plus no Yee-Sang-eating with them!!How sad is that! T.T *but im still getting my early yee sang from mom...muahahaha!!

Anyway, just as a reminder....I still have my life....no worries...im still sane. At least i still go out for outings with friends and have been visiting Starbucks ALOT...being stuck there the whole day *willingly* to drink and just spend my endless-free-time there.haha...good way to spend time also eh?

On the very same Sunday, a trip down brickfields, MahaVihara Temple with Chung Kai and Adeline for pre-camp to play the games and activities that will be played during camp...As usual, the threesome are fashionably late again. Overall, it was a great catching up, seeing the others after a year of MIA with them feels kinda good....

Bas' attempt 1 & 2 but still fail to do it...(station game)

OH!my final's results for previous sem has been released and turns out, my results weren't as bad as i've imagined it would be...Actually the results was pretty good....haha...way way more than i expected. Hopefully my parents wouldn't have a say in it. *fingers crossed* Im not exagerating or anything here but then, truthfully, i haven't been able to sleep well for 2 nights due to worrying about results, so....I'm glad that it's over at last....released a bundle of worries from my head.

GOSH!!in 2 weeks time, I'll be in a plane flying off on my way to Switzerland!!!that's....very FAST!!!im so so so not ready for it yet!!I've been looking forward for it a month ago but now that it's getting closer...it kinda freaks me out alil....though im still excited and etc...but the feeling of heavy hearted is still there to leave my family members, friends; from close friends to darlings to Buddies....sob sob. And mom have been forbidding me from going so often already having reasons that i've been going out alot lately and that i needed to start packing...but the thing is I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START PACKING!!!!it's freaking me out so much...knowing that i take a long long time to pack my stuff and im only left with 2 weeks which passes in a BLINK of an eye....but i seriously dont know where to start....so much to think about and so much to bring...*headache* Being a good girl, i stayed home today to start packing alil *folding clothes nicely and rolling them up* to show my mom that i've started packing...or else she will start asking me pack to every single day....I'll most probably end up rushing to finish the packing and panic about the weight of my luggage...hahahah...maybe that's the excitement and thrill in studying abroad...worrying about the luggage weight....Oh well....what can I say...even guys are worried on their over-weight luggages....(mind you...this happens not just on girls these days...time have changed. hehe...)

Lesson Learned

Being so bored-to-death at home during holidays, luckily Bas is here in KL to go out with. Went to Aman Suria the other day to yam cha as soon as Bas and Ju's back and off the 3 of us to pick up Queen Adeline from her house to go for a drink. Got nowhere nice to go, so we just get ourselves to sit in a chinese restaurant since the both of them haven't taken their dinner. Funnily, guys always think they can eat alot so they always order a bigger portion and ended up eating more than they could. Yup...that's what happened to Ju and Bas...

While ordering

Bas: One Hokkien Noodles for 2 & One Hor Fun for 2 (surprisingly in Mand...Bas speaking mand???yup...believe it or not but it has improved since i last heard...haha...good job Bas!!)

Adeline: Bas...you know me and Ee Yin's not eating right?

Bas: Ya ya....i know...

When the food came...

Bas: *stares at the amount*

Adeline: told you it's big portion and you said you know we both are not eating but still order so much...

Bas: *silent* and just smile...

Once done....

Bas: I cant breathe....!so freaking full....*smilling while having the suffering look after eating*

Adeline & I: couldnt stop laughing...and Ju said nothing besides comments to Adeline cause he was enjoying the meal without feeling full and can still stuff down Tim Tams and some choc...*salute*

So see...better not order so much next time than stuffing yourself with all the food.hahahaha....lesson learned? Plus...the night was all filled with laughter and the whole restaurant was all blasted with our laughters and talks....hhahah....great night though it was short. you

My Last Teen Year

I officially turned 19 the day before...and it means that this will be my last year of being a teenager and turning into the 2's next year onwards....sad case sad case....but shooh....maybe i should think positive..and besides, I'm not gonna be OLD till I'm 27 perhaps?I dont take 20's onwards as old...but just not a teenager anymore...Teenagers where you have time hanging out with your friends playing out at night and doing crazy stuffs....not that you couldnt when you're not a teenager anymore...but then it's different because most of the time when you turn that age...it's all commitment after commitment on both your career and your own life...pretty much in the future...Urgh...commitments again.

Anywhooo...The day started off with some shopping at Sogo...*it's been AGES since my last visit there...close to 10 years or maybe 10 already.* No other choice since we're very early for lunch. Walked and shopped till it was noon and it's time to indulge ourselves with delicious chinese cuisine at Celestial Court, Imperial. Me and mom WALKED there okay....do you know how far it is from where we were?but not gonna be a spoilt brat or somehting to complaint knowing what's gonna come up when we reach Imperial...FULL motivation to walk....lucky thing it wasn't very sunny. Wouldn't wanna reach there sweating like we just ran a marathon, would we?hehe...^^

Something that caught my eyes when i reached...hUgE

The whole setting in Celestial Court was really nice...it is decorated with all the antics and tradisional chinese ornaments and other decorating accessories but it gives the whole modern-chinese feeling to it with the touch of comfy sofas and cushions that are pretty plushy to sit on....nice place to dine in....check it out when you happen to be in Imperials. As for the food....needless to say it was mouth watering....every single dish in the menu not only sounds delicious with all the classic description but it's also very very interesting. Dishes that are cooked with ingredients we didnt know can be mixed together with other stuff to produce a delicious dish. *you'll see further on*

The menu has very nice patterns and cravings that are sew into the cloth. It's no surprise having a headache to choose what you wanna order as you cant order everything in the menu unless you're ready to help them wash the dishes for years or you wanna burn a big whole in your pocket/wallet. Different case if you can afford all of them.... =) Getting so hungry with all the descriptions...i closed my menu and let my mom make the decision on what to order as there are too many things that i would LOVE to try. Besides, how can the two of us finish up so many dishes? at least not for us though we can eat alot...haha.

First dish that came was the tarts *according to them, they only have limited amount per day...so why not try* But turns out...it wasnt exactly the normal taste of tarts...it's mainly filled with custard-egg mixture. So...not really satisfying but still acceptable if you're not hoping too much from the tarts.

Soon after, the second dish came and this time it's the pan fried prawn with cod fish and wrapped together with banana coated with crispy wheatmeal. THIS is the dish that i said it sounded weird....BANANA???with prawn and cod fish fried together?yes....it wasnt very convincing at 1st....was alil reluctant to order it but why not give it a try since they said it's a very famous item in the menu and it's "unique". Well....take this advice...no matter how weird any dish may sound from the description and ingredients, TRY it....cause the Pan Fried Prawn and Cod Fish with Banana turns out DE-LI-CIOUS!!!!it's seriously mouth watering....the 1st bite you take you can taste the freshness in the cod fish and prawns and later a slight sweetness kicks in from the banana and it doesnt have the strong banana smell to it. it was worth the try to order. Plus....the crispy-ness from the outside layer makes it even nicer. Crispy in the outside, soft and mouth watering in the inside.

Thridly, will be the "kun tong kao" also known as doubled boiled clear chicken soup with rich aromatic chinese herbs and boiled together with fresh abalone, scallops, mushrooms, chicken and shark's fin. it's boiled till all the aroma from all the ingredients are out from it's shell and is finished with grates of shark's fin, a whole abalone and scallop and lastly with mushrooms and chicken wrapped in one huge wantan skin. What's more to say about this double-boiled soup???It's HEAVEN!!!!the moment that soup spoon of yours touches your mouth and tongue, you can seriously taste all the aroma and the rich of herbs in it....it's simply AND heavenly delicious....the sweetness that came from all the rich ingredients from boiling are in each and every drip of the soup. *saliva drooling and day dreaming back to yesterday's lunch* I am honestly not exagerating at all....it's all in there...no words can describe the taste further from what i said...not until you try and you can only know it for yourself thanks to your tastebuds. The abalone is juicy and tastes so sweet and tangy in a nice way...and with the scallop...it's all as sweet as the abalone and it's just so nice to chew on....

Our very last dish that we ordered was the steamed bean curd with stuffed prawns and something-delicious-that-i-dont-remember-what-it's-called. It's alil TOO tasty for me (in other words...alil too salty). However, it's still nice excluding the salty-ness cause the bean curd is steamd till the right texture and the ingredients inside are tender, and juicy. so yea...i would say thumbs up for it too...^^b (sorry no pics for this...forgot to capture it). As for this year...i didnt get a birthday cake made by my mom but this time it was bought from Imperials. Well...their cheesecake's pretty good i can say...decorated with deliciously-shined strawberries and chocolates.

After delicious meal, the original plan was to head home to sleep...but unfortunately...turned turned turned and turned also i still couldnt fall asleep but did but only for 30 minutes max?was awaken to shower and head out for another birthday treat but this time with both parents...*dad was busy during the day so couldnt make it for lunch..and joining us for dinner* Went to Jaya One for dinner at a Spanish Restaurant and the ambience was really cool....nice place for chilling and hanging out. Besides, the prices are rather affordable...I wouldnt even say that it's expensive and the food was pretty nice actually...worth going there again and I'll recommend for any of y'all to dine there.

Feeling so guilty, and this is where the night turned all opposite way for my 19th....guilty to make bas wait so long to pick me up again cause my dinner went pretty long...Then, next incident is both me and Bas got lost going to Ju's house cause we took a turning instead of going straight. We have to take the super long way out to get back on track to go to Bukit Jelutong. "that was the longest U-Turn i have ever made!" was what Bas commented when we reached the house. THEN, the third unlucky incident was we were waiting outside of MOS for so long cause we had to wait for Abel *a friend of theirs* to bring us in with the receipt but he was NOWHERE to be found cause he was in the DANCE FLOOR....oh well...staying positive but was alil sleepy already....

However, although there were so many unlucky incident that happened during the night, it wasnt really the wrong choice cause i know it doesnt always happen that way and it was my 1st time going with you guys...so it was worth the try...plus...it wasnt THAT bad till it was a whole regret....cause i didnt regret going. =)

Lastly, the worse thing that has ever happened is that im partially grounded by my dad cause i went home late yesterday....got alil scolding here and there. Speaking of grounded...yea...I am partially now. it's either i dont get to go out at all or I can go out but i have a certain time that i need to be back home already....URGH!!!it's so so frustrating!!I'm 19 already....why am I still grounded though it was only partially grounded....BUT STILL!!!it's still considered as one...!this is my last time to be a teenager and i got grounded the very next day...how great is that???BAH....and Im gonna be graduating next sem...it means that I wont have much time to play as much as I can now....it's gonna be commitment after commitment and MORE commitment cause I'll be working soon...isnt it fair enough for me to even enjoy it now???I'm grown up enough to take care of myself and it's not like I'm going with people whom I dont trust....Plus, isnt it time for us to take our own responsibility on what we do and know what's right and wrong?we should be able to choose the way we wanna do things among ourselves and take the road and be responsible on the path we take....so why cant I????it's so tiring at times you know...I cant be the goody goody girl all the time, can I?it's time that i grow up and take care of own decisions.Sighh....

Before i finish....I just wanna say thanks for all the wishes, presents and surprises from y'all...thanks for calling me no matter if I'm here and you're far off at UK and etc...i enjoyed every single part of the day though there were upS and downS.....that's pretty much what everyone goes through everyday...but Thanks everyone for that special day...*hugs hugs*

Anyway, i better sign off now....got lots to do today to prepare for my relative's visit to KL.will update soon...*next update - outing with Adeline, Bas and Ju.*

Till then...Toodless~!
