Tribute to Angie

angie is not some1 famous or influential in malaysia, she's just a coursemate of mine who has done a lot for me-just explaining if u guys were wondering y i use d word 'tribute' which might b inappropriate here..

staying wif angie for 1 whole week was pretty fun.. u can't find such good hospitality anywhere in kajang.. she was my mom for d week (no doubt she has all d motherly features): nag at me, accompany me to c d doctor as i was terribly scared, cook for me, do laundry, asked me where i go late at nite (go yum cha also need to get permission from her!!).. dis entry is for complimenting all d lil' things n accomodation she gave me.. tq 'acting mummy of d week'

i'll blog bout d dinner she cooked for me today, my last dinner before i head back to sitiawan.. of coz i did help.. i peel d onions n potatoes, i beat d eggs (dats all); angie do d rest, fry, cut etc.. i wanna snap pix of her preparing d food but she dun allow coz she was in her pajamas..
while she cooked, she gave me lotsa advices on wat to do n wat not to do wif d food n crockery-certainly, advising is her favourite pass time..

nice display isnt it?? d ingredients were arranged by angie.. haha, c how colourful they were: d corn, eggs, vege, onion, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes...

abc soup wif corn in it... simple yet yummy, not to worry bout nutrition-she, d food expert knows it all..

vege dat i like most, bought in d nite market-yes i did marketing wif her d nite before, can u guys imagine me walking in d wet market holding my breath?


egg fried wif onion.. according to angie using fork to beat d eggs is better coz d eggs wud b fluff-ier n tastier compared to beating them wif spoon..

wat a meal!!! neva regret staying wif angie coz everything was very well taken care of by her.. so, i mite chuck myself in again if i happen to come back to ukm/kajang.. tqvm..

A fRuitful TriP After all

just a short update to let u guys know i'm still alive n kicking!!!
kicking hard like Po d panda-lurve d panda so much!!

i'm glad dat i'm bk in ukm coz many things happened out of my expectation, i didnt forsee them to happen..
1st-i went to c d gorgeous doctor in ukm for d final time to get medication for my ugly n itchy ankle (i chickened out many times last sem)
2nd-instead of attending d orchestra concert as an audience i became a kind-hearted volunteer who helped out at d front desk- selling tickets.. mixing wif professional performers, sitting together wif a few strangers in a table having dinner made me feel awkward n uneasy.. besides, i listened to lotsa gossips bout lotsa ppl which was not a very good thing as they changed my perception/impression towards them.. *i'll blog bout d concert in my next post*
3rd-my program head looked for me, n coincidently i was there..
4th-we, d final year students were supposed to print d official transcript after making some payment, n i manage to get it done...
5th-UIA called up, offering me a place there, so i'm attending d interview dis friday-wish me luck, finally d type of job dat i fancy most found me.. to b frank, i didnt apply, mayb ukm or ppbl did..
6th-made up my mind, it's gonna b final, i wont b doing my masters in ukm, plz b smart, stop asking dis question again n again-i'm tired of answering..

k, it's bed time.. sleep n wake up early makes me feel healthier

Double Happiness...

all my dreams came true..
got to view my result after hours of waiting anxiously..
yes, as predicted by all of u, i did pretty well n will b graduating wif 1st class honours...

my bro too managed to get over his nerves yesterday..
entering ukm dis 29th..
-generally, everything is good: thanx to d ONE above-

tmr, i'll b going back to ukm for a few events..
-attend d chinese orchestra camp: i'm a very supportive senior though i m no longer a student there..
-going to watch 'The Emperor', a performance by pcco in istana budaya, i'm so looking forward for it..
-gonna meet my supervisor if possible to discuss n amend d paper i'm writing on, n of coz will try to get it done during my stay there.. too many distractions at home, so it's good to stay wif angie for a week..
-accompany t-pei to 'hiau' around.. haha, long time neva hang out wif her edi.. so we'll b hiau-ing around..
-must go n get d korean food in mid valley wif chai xia fong if possible-oops, need to address her as miss chai now...
-meeting up wif some of my coursemates: amirah, hazwani n others who will b there.. miss them lots coz i hav spent 1 whole month without them, miss kb's food too.. gosh, my motto now is eat, sleep n b merry-sounded like a pig!!!!

tAg

having tummy discomfort, so i'll just get dis thingy done as i'm tagged by marcus tan who will yell if i dun do so... haha... wat is d rationale of tag?? d purpose??
dis is my 1st time 'playing tag'-dun expect too much becoz it wouldnt turn out impressive.. but after reading urs (marcus), i was influenced, in dilemma just like u-to cheat or not to cheat?-
i cheat when it's obligatory i reckon, so it's unnecessary to do so here..


THE RULES
1. Each blogger must post these rules first.
2. Each blogger starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 8 things.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don't forget to leave them a comment, telling them that they've been tagged, and to read your blog.

Fact #1
while watching drama series, i like to yell at d characters demanding them to do wat is right.. annoying isnt it? there was a time where my bro open his golden mouth n said: u shout so loud here in dis house as if they can hear u la - in a very polite manner...

Fact #2
a lazy pig when mom asked for help in d kitchen... move rather slowly when asked to help out.. hated d kitchen a lot.. alwiz try to make myself bz by doing other simple-r- stuff outside d kitchen like making fruit salad, fruit juice err can't think of other things dat i can make..

Fact #3
when it comes to task which requires me to write, i neva fail to give my 150%.. prefer writing though vocab not dat wide, dislike speaking..

Fact #4
very genuine person -i m, ain't i?- as i neva try to b sm1 else or try to appear pleasant in front of guys-wud neva try to 'goda' any1 in my life.. to make things clearer, i'm d opposite of alwani, my bestie (too bad if u dunno her)... becoz u can c me yell/nag when i m in a dissatisfaction mode, ignoring everyone present n d surrounding-too bad, my voice was, is n will alwiz b too soft for ppl to notice..

Fact #5
talented i guess.. i can play d piano -but not really dat well nemore-, play er hu n d 'long long ago song' on yang ching-can play other chinese instruments too wif guidance n i catch up pretty fast, draw, paint, make handy crafts.. -will add more if i thought of any, for d time being dat's all-

Fact #6
sucks in sports.. 'athelete' neva n wouldnt appear in my life.. i hit d wind when i play badminton, i run just a lil' faster den d tortoise.. there's 1, i can play tennis *hurray* thanx to mr.lee, my coach who taught me in form 2.. however, i lurve watching sports from swimming to equestrian except football on tv.. i'm glued to d tv during thomas cup, all d important sports event, sukma included though d standard was slightly lower..

Fact #7
very indecisive.. making up my mind is like asking me to (wat's d hardest thing to do huh?)..
however, once a decision is made i tend to move on/ look forward though i regretted on some wrongly made decisions..

Fact #8
scaredy cat... neva try n wudn't try roller coaster/bungee jumping/ wat's d thing in genting highland call where it shoot up n down in a flash? or other nerve wrecking activities..

'scare'/'takut' n other languages i speak which means 'afraid' r my favourite words.. u'll find out when n where i use it below:

-b4 i make an attempt on anything eg: knocking on lecturer's room, i'll say 'scare la'..

-b4 i sit for exam n when i'm getting my result i'll say 'takut nyerr'..

-when asked to speak up in public, d word 'scare' conquers my brain..

Others who i want to tag too: fong jie (9february85), bryant (bryantlimweiurn), rahail (wonderlicious), ah yong (yongyong), angie (christinacharlotte), hoc mun (hocmun), chai xia fong (ppoxygen) & shahrul (smkrc85)

i miss K3J 205

i miss my study table in ukm... though i hated d room so so much at d beginning, now i'm missing d room very very much...... d table, d bed, cupboard.... i complaint a lot when i stayed there- it's too small la, dirty coridor, annoying cats, noisy floormates n d list goes on.....

so, wat make me miss K3J 205? i can do my assignment for a few hours (fyi, more den 3 hours) on my study table without getting distracted, same situtation when i studied for exam, just walk around in d room -voila-75% of d notes entered my brain.. ntg was able distract me-no doubt, hostel is d most suitable location for undergrad-
at home, i cant even get 3 pages of paper -error free- done in 3 hours...

there's sth 'magical' bout my room in d morning, speaking bout weekends n days without early lectures, getting up at 7 or 8 was not a prob.. i dun even need an alarm clock, d minute my hp vibrate, i wud b awake.. however, things r a lil' different when i got home, it has been 1 month since i get bk-n i neva got up at 8 or 9.. 10 wud b d ealiest n 11 is d latest-which neva happen to me when i was a student-
sleeping at weird hours now, leading an unhealthy lifestyle.. *shaking head*

saw my table? was in d midst of completing my fyp

days without purpose is meaningless... *sigh* but tmr is a very BIG day for d Ong sibling, my final result wud b out, d unknown wud b revealed! *heart beating 90km/h* my bro on d other hand, his heart beat i guess is 120km/h, mite b popping out from his mouth in 6hours time.. becoz of d university entrance result.. hope everything wud turn out exactly d way i wan it to b... *keeping finger cross*

p/s: yong, is -double happiness- realizable?

M’sian & S’porean

Some mite find dis offensive, some mite find it funny… it’s just a crude joke, so dun get too mad or offended wif it.. read n b merry… (joke courtesy of a stranger from my mail)


A Singaporean was on holiday in Malaysia. He was having his coffee, croissants, bread, butter & jam at the hotel’s coffee house. A Malaysian man who was chewing gum, sat down next to him & started a casual conversation.


Malaysian: You Singaporeans eat the whole bread?
Singaporean: Of course.
Malaysian: We don’t. In Malaysia, we only eat what inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants & sell them across to Singapore.


The Malaysian then had a smirk on his face while the Singaporean listened in silence.


Malaysian: Do you eat the jam with the bread?
Singaporean: Of course.
Malaysian (chuckling): We don’t. In Malaysia, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds & other left-overs in a container, recycle them, transform them into jam, before we sell it across to Singapore.


This time, the Singaporean retorted: Do you have sex in Malaysia?
Malaysian: Why, of course we do
Singaporean: Do you wear protection
Malaysian: Of course! We wear condoms.
Singaporean: And what do you do with the condoms once you’ve used them?
Malaysian: Stupid question ! Of course we throw them away.
Singaporean: We don’t. In Singapore, the government secretly puts them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum & sell them across to Malaysia, … & that’s the real reason why we banned chewing gum in Singapore.

EnViOuS

reading blogs has become 1 of my favourite pass time..
narrowing it down to bloggers from my town i.e. my frends & seniors who-dun-know-me-but-i-know them..
they made me giggle, sob n ENVY...

ppl from my town is -errr- they r just so very unique or more *can't find a suitable adjective to portray them*...
d way they played wif d words n their language competency makes feel inferior
*reminisce* no wonder i didnt shine when i was in acs
-y tok mandarin so much? c now england not powderful enuf, mandarin also primary 1 standard-

next, marriage...
many r getting ready to marry n some already did..

-awkward isn't it, me saying dat (refering to d sentence above)-
dis is bad right, i neva felt like dis b4 in my life but maybe due to my vast space in d brain & stress free status (not really, waiting for phone calls n final exam result make super duper anxious) i tend to think a lot..

-acting n sounding weird-

looking forward for my next movie..

Dragon Boat Festival

today is duan wu jie.. many calls it dumpling day where chinese eat bak chang/ red bean chang or other types of chang (dumpling).. the festival is known as Dragon Boat Festival in English (i just got to know d name today after i read d newspaper.. even though i neva try making 1 but i knoe it's difficult coz i accidently untangle 1 n fail to tie it back *slap head* so bodoh.. i'm an idiot when it comes to preparing food -looks like i need to attend cooking class already, if not my future-mom-in-law gonna chase me out of d house wif a broom!!!!-

wanna know d origin of dis festival, my mom told me when i was a child; not dat i can remember vivdly so thanx wikipedia for d clear explanation.. here goes d legend which i adapt some of d parts from wikipedia..

it's related to a legendary poet name Qu Yuan... dunno y he kill himself by jumping into a river... d kind-hearted villagers carried dumplings and went to the middle of the river by boat, desperately tried to save him, but were unsuccessful.

to keep fish from feeding his flesh, d smart villagers threw rice into the water as a food offering to distract the fish away from d corspe....

one night, the spirit of Qu Yuan appeared before his friends and told them that he died because of a river dragon... so he asked his friends to wrap their rice into three-cornered silk packages to ward off the dragon.

n so these packages became a traditional food known as zong zi, although the lumps of rice are now wrapped in reed leaves instead of silk.

the act of racing to search for his body in boats gradually became the cultural tradition of dragon boat racing, which is held on the anniversary of his death every year.


till today, people still eat dumpling and participate in dragon boat races to commemorate Qu Yuan's sacrifice on the Duan Wu festival which fall on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar..

FooTie Fever

last nite, my dad watched d 1st match of Euro 2008 between czech & switzerland (everyone shud know by now czech won 1-0), i was beside him onlining n i did watch a bit when d line is not so good.... after dat zz already, cannot stay up till 2.45am, dad not young, me too...

still dun find it interesting, still dun udstd wat is so fun watching 22 men chasing over 1 ball, but guys who dun watch footie i regard them as weirdos.. neway i find d logo n d moscot very attractive.. just look at d hair of d moscots-creative!!!

finally, enjoy d fever guys.. tim, i know u r reading dis... fyi, i did ask my bro to explain wat 'offside' is all about... i think i get it but not really clear.. who knows i mite watch a match dis season..

Up, Up & Away..

not marry poppins but d fuel price... i guess every1 is aware of dis, those who dun, i also dunno wat to say..
RM2.70 per litre has caused a stir not oni in m'sia but many parts of d world except venezuela
-oni RM0.16 per litre(overheard it in d news)-
ppl like me who dun drive also got worried already..
basically, all d the things that exsist in d world is expensive la, we shud just migrate -just 1 immature suggestion from a pea sized brain of mine...

Donut

"Life is a donut".

It's round. What goes around, comes around, in a circle like the shape of a donut.

It's sweet. Life is generally sweet. Donut is generally sweet too, the glazed-one.

However, no matter how sweet it is, there's a hole in the middle. Empty. The sense of loneliness. Not a bad thing I reckon. It is the emptiness that neutralize the sweetness of life. Too sweet isn't good as well, I suppose.


-m5lvin's frend's philosophy/ maybe it's his: he too not sure-
whoeva it is, i couldn't agree more..
