Stifling & drowning

Did not managed to blog yesterday as I was tired & busy doing Instru report.. Too many unfinished business today as well since I need to prepare questions for SCI major asgmt discussion 2mr. Have to start doing SCI asgmt 2 wth Rene also 2mr. Tiring & sleepy already. I've gotta touch up my instru report & then get ready everything for 2mr's discussions (not 1 but 2!!) :s My head is spinning already..


Gonna recapitulate Mon & Tue's events when I find time.. Cross my fingers & pray hard. Thank god Thurs is a public holiday, so I have time to finish up Cell Met asgmt 2. Phew, drowning in a sea of asgmts & reports.. *faint*..

What a day..

I hate the weather today. Hot & stuffy without the rain.. Ugghh, made me so sweaty while I was plopped downstairs wth my lappie in midst of doing work & net surfing. Had some tong sui tht mummy made..

Yummy tong sui.. made wth love & unbeatable.. me likey.. X)

Came home tonight from dinner at my grandma's place in ss3. Not going out for the usual dinner since my grandparents wanted to cook dinner.. Sis had early dinner at 1u for her celebration of her school house team winning the cheerleading event in the SMKDJ Sports Day. Congratulations to her team winning, I know tht she's proud to win cos she was confident tht either her team or another team would be winner since other teams sucked.. XD Tht's my sis, arrogant, prud & confident.. Also a major vainpot in the making.. So I'm happy tht she won!! Yayy..

I watched Lost on my lappie last night.. Finally Lost has resumed after a short hiatus of a mth or so.. So confusing & intriguing as usual watching it.. I just can't stop wanting for more!!! Pray tht the oncoming episodes wud be great as usual.. Awaiting patiently for 2nd season of GG (Gossip Girls) to be on.. Expect bitchery, cat fights, teenage melodramas of the Manhattan elite society.. Looking out for their fabulous clothes they wear on set too.. ;p

Disappointing encounter at Atlantis

Tonight had dinner with our ex-neighbour, Aunt Tricia & her family at Atlantis Restaurant, Kota Damansara. The seafood which was acclaimed to be fresh from Sabah, was not really fresh & tht good.. The food sucks wei compared to Unique Seafood Restaurant. No pics were taken because it would be rude taking my cam out & taking pics of the food when everyone's busy digging in.. I would have taken pics if it was just dinner wth my family. Gotta pay respects to other ppl ya know.. ;p

Crabs were not nice, the salted egg crab didn't really taste like salted egg, it was like a fake imitation of it.. The "kam heong" style of crab I didn't even touch it seeing tht the crabs weren't very fresh.. & I was lazy to use my hands to dig in.. Not in the mood for crabs.. >.<> weird, lotus itself is bland already, the dish was just stir frying it in butter.. Duuhh, even I can cook tht dish.. ;p

See? The prawns at Unique Seafood were much much better, no additional sauce required..
Just by itself, it tasted superbly fresh & sweet!!!
No photos to compare but u get the idea..

The steamed big hard shelled clams were fresh, but I don't like to eat clams, or mussels plain just like tht without sauce.... It'll be too "fishy" taste for me. So I only ate few pieces of it.. The only dish I ate most was the butter prawns.. The prawns were nothing compared to those I ate at Unique Seafood but the butter & egg crisps tht u know comes along wth it was the only thing tht made the prawn nice kay.. Well, our first time at the restaurant since Uncle Edward & Aunt Tricia were treating us dinner.. But for our family, it'll be a BIG no-no to come back for a second time.. I definitely don't agree with some of the reviews I saw online tht this restaurant is "great", it's not as good as I'd expected... :S



Overall, it's not the type of restaurant my family would come considering it's food quality & high price which we could have had better at other restaurants.. But since it was a gathering and catch up session wth one another, it's pretty good chatting up wth Mabel & James.. The next dinner gathering would most prolly be on my dad, few months later.. ^_^ Definitely would go to a better place..



P.S. Woke up almost 10 by my "dream" in which was really weird, it was like a movie scene wth me & my family in it plus some intense car speeding moments...tht's all I rmb.. hahah, a sign of too much stressed from asgmts/reports already!! Also, I did not go to Monash Street Carnival.. >.< style="font-style: italic;">jessica

Currently listening to Love in this Club

As mentioned in the title, I'm sooo in love wth this song by Usher feat. Young Jeezy. Listening to it all the time.....

Today had Gen Lect by Dr Robin, Instru lecture by Dr Lim which was as usual boring for whole 2 hrs.. :S During the break from Instru, me & Rene went to Robin's room to collect our Gen essays. Darn, quite pissed off wth our marker the way she marked our reports, our format for references has been alright all these while (2 yrs of reports writing!!) until this B-I-T-C-H circled on the paper tht we need to BOLD the table & figures headings & there were no brackets for the year!!! Ughhh, spoiled my mood for the second half of the class considering tht my marks for it was not what I'd expected. Damn, I wonder whther she's our marker for our Paper Analysis & Arabidopsis report. If she is, I can expect worst things to come.. >.<






Drove back home today cos bro tumpang his fren's car as they were going 1u later. After lunch ard 3 smtg, me & mum went to JPJ in PJ State to renew my P to Complete driving license. I'm a total road blind person, even if I'd been to PJ State, if u asked me to drive there.. Haha, no wayyy.. I wun rmb where it is.. unless I'd drove to there more than 10 times.. It was quite fast lah, whole thing done in like 15 mins or so. But I had waited longer in the car later for bout 30 mins plus, cos Mum went to renew my doggie's license in MBPJ building nearby.






Now 5 smtg, i'm back home.. Listening to songs.. XD Later have to do my Instru report & search info on my Cell Met asgmt 2. Have to read up & set interview questions for SCI. -_- I'm still undecided whther I'm going or not to the Monash Street Carnival 2mr. Hmmph.. Haven't made my mind whether to volunteer myself for duty shift at the LEO booth. Nini said she wants to go to carnival during the evening 2mr, but most prob she wun go one lah, considerating her past records of ffk-ing. We'll see how.. ;p

Lunch at Italiannies & GC Lab

Went lunch at Italiannies wth Rene, Ruenn, TL & Ah Mo today. Supposed to go Pyramid earlier becos Rene wanted to redeem the McD Sausage McMuffin for breakfast which lasts till 11am only, haha, but I hadn't finished my Instru report. We went to Pyramid by courtesy of Rene's so-called "model" fren who is sooo totally unexpected, short instead of tall, fair feminine features instead of macho, hunky guy we expected. TL or Rene even commented tht is he "bak zham gai".. XD Cos his legs are sooo thin & fair, hairless too.. :s

We had the set lunch for 4 which consisted of 1 appetiser, 3 main meals & 1 dessert.. This time the food was a disappointment compared to last time (Eling's bday lunch). Camwhored here & there a bit then headed back to uni for 1pm Cell Met lect. Shrimp Linguine looked good but was kinda weird tasting salty even wth soo much tomato sauce, Minestrone Soup so-so only (Marsala Mushroom soup was much better) wth the small pathetic portion so called for 4 persons!!! Even 1 or 2 persons could finish it!! Garlic Chicken Pizza was better off but slightly dry, Grilled Chicken Milanese was chicken breast meat in creamy sauce, 3 pathetic small pieces of chicken. We had Raisin Bread Pudding instead of Cappucino Pie which was not ready, the pudding was too yucky.. Sweet, not even a lot of raisins wth the bread soaked in the sweet sauce, not definitely my type of dessert!! My last visit here was definitely better!!

Italiannies interior

Foood!! -(cw l-r from top): Garlic Chicken Pizza, Ruenn looking ready for a toast, the teeny weeny bowl of Minestrone Soup, Grilled Chicken Milanese, Shrimp Linguine & me camwhoring!! XD

(CW from top left) Raisin Bread Pudding, me again, Rene the 2nd camwhore & close up of the Chicken Milanese which was pathetic, only 3 small pieces!!

After tht was Instru Lab where we observed how GC was done. In between sampling time which was very long, we were chitchatting & gossiping wth Eric our lab demo. He told us about the science office politics & scandalous profiles of the science lecturers.. Hoho, heard some inside stories which were "interesting".. ;p Didn't really knew tht in science course there are also so much politics to be dealt wth.. Truly an eye-opening experience.. XD

Day by day

Time flies. Today we went to see Dr Chow in his office for the SCI major assignment lab allocation. He really lives up to his name. Really impassive & strict face thoughout the whole briefing he was giving us on the the asgmt & blah bla bla, complainting about why most students failed his asgmt 1, this & that. So far he's the first lecturer I really dislike his attitude. ;p




After we were allocated Micro Lab 2 for inspection, me, Ruenn, Adrian, Chay Lynn & Celeste went to find the lab tech in charge to set the time for our interview & lab inspection. When we were there, no one was to be seen in the lab, Ruenn & Chay Lynn even took some pics as evidence because there was so flammable items left lying around & the trolleys were obtructing the walkways in the lab. ;p I went to the autoclave room outside & found the lab tech. We then discussed and made the appointment for our lab safety inspection & interview session on the 1st week of May.






As this is a MAJOR asgmt, we are doing the inspection & interview as a group of 8 (Me, Rene, Ruenn, Nini, TL, Chay Lynn, Henry & Celeste) but the reports we would be doing in pairs. So 4 reports per group. Tsk tsk, living up the Chow's super high expectations would be challenging, but I think our group would do our very best!! We don't by looked down by him!!! Hmmpph.. I won't lose!!





Waited for Rene to finish as she stayed back till 12.45pm to finish up her lab work. Ruenn & TL then headed out to medan@Rock Cafe for lunch. Me & Rene had lunch at Cinta Ria @ DJ Damansara Jaya. I ordered Cantonese Kuey Teow since I haven't eaten it in a while, Rene ate Oven Grilled Chicken because she can't take too much carbo, fats & sugar. Prices for chinese & western food are reasonable, no wonder office workers & even DJ secondary students were there for lunch. Next time I would try out their western food, maybe their sandwiches.. XD Maybe our next yumcha destination should be here since the atmosphere is quite comfy & I think it's easier to find parking here than at Village Park, Uptown.






After lunch, we went browsing ard at Atria. Nothing much to see there as usual, the place is sooo outdated man. Dunno how those shops survive wth their sky high prices of clothes etc, which can be found wayyyy cheaper online... :s Rene then said she wants to go Amour to browse, so there we went. I tried on the Little Miss Naughty tees but found em kinda not fitting as it should be. So we both left there empty handed.. Which should be good news.. Hahah, have to try to limit my purchases already.. X)






Now back home, blogging & watching my fav HK drama. Gotta continue my Instru report & finish it tonight. Gambatte!!

Like REALLY

Damn, my bad luck seems to have continued from yesterday. Like really. I just so wanna kick my own butt for being careless & all wth the car. In case u've haven't heard, I reversed the car (the Gen2) into the bushes & hit the freakin huge rock. So the back underside bumper ended being damaged, there's like a big hole on it under the car number plate. ;( Felt like killing myself when it happened!!! The worst thing is I was going to drive the other car (Saga) this morning, but in the end my dad told me to drive this car.. >.< I'm more used to tht car, so I prolly wouldn't had this stupid idiot accident if I drove the Saga. Well, but still I was careless for not reversing slowly. NO more next time, I shall do parking wth extra extra care & 100% alert!!!








Then on a happier note, I did my COD wth the seller of Piece de Mode e-boutique today in Pyramid while we'r there having McD. I got my chequered button-up blouse, I adore the 2 rows of buttons, cute!! It kinda makes my hips look wider wth its slightly balloon shaped cutting, but I'll prolly won't button the bottom few buttons for a slimmer effect. Darn it wasn't long enough for me to wear it as a short dress, & the coloured turned out to be not as nice as I'd expected. Next time I should follow my gut feelings & just take the original colour I had in mind. :p Today me & Ruenn was listing down all the duedates of the oncoming asgmts & reports tht needs to be handed in. Damn, there's a lot of work to be done.

• 2th May- Cell Met asgmt 2
• 5th May- SCI asgmt 2
• 8th May- Instru Report Exp. 6

Looking at all these is giving me a heart attack already. I'll faint.. :s
Well, better get a head start on my Instru Report 5 due this Thurs. Thank goodness this Friday there's no Gen Lab, hooray!!! Class finishes at 1pm... But for Rene & Nini 2pm because of their Gen tut.

Gettin ready for a busy busy May to come!!

Hectic Monday, getting the blues

Came home not long ago from extremely LATE lunch at Village Park, DU Uptown. It was just me, Nini & Henry because Rene left uni early today for her appointment at late noon. I had white coffee plus Tom Yam fried rice. It was quite yummy, more sour-ish tom yam taste than the spiciness which suited me just fine. If it was spicer, I think my empty stomach would rebel.. XD

Surprisingly today I wasn't feeling really hungry at all, even though I skipped lunch & stayed in comp lab from 9am to 4pm to finish up my Gen report. I double checked everything meticulously before finally printing it out. But I dunno why I didn't feel relieved of my burdens even though the report was finally completed after few days of working on it. It was driving me insane already. It was like there is a stone on my heart, the heavy feeling of it just made me so moody today. Prolly was because I'm having my "ahem, u know wat" at this time of the month. The reports, assignments, thinking of it is already stressing me out. :s






Ruenn was sitting beside me at comp lab the whole time today, we both got our butts glued to the seat from 9am to 4pm, gosh tht's the longest I've sat in the comp lab doing my work. :p I think Gen report was getting into her head, she was a bit "miang" today , always kept noticing guys who came into the comp lab. There was one EXTREMELY "lala" guy who's super skinny like a broomstick wearing yellow striped singlet wth baggy "lala" type of jeans. Ruenn was the first one who pointed him out to me because he DID NOT SHAVE (bear in mind, not the face BUT his underarms!!!) We both burst out laughing XD when she telling me to check out this guy, I was at first thinking he's not HOT at all, then suddenly he lifted his arms & there IT was!!! Underarm HAIR!!! Thinking of it now, I feel like vomitting out the fried rice I ate just now.. Eeewwww-ness & he's SUPER lala. -_-''''





But we had a really great time laughing & commenting bout his "lala-ness" through ebuddy for discretion. Well, wthout this type of funny moments to laugh & joke ard, it'll be sooo boring doing our Gen report.

Camwhore time when I'm feeling down..

Was in the mood to camwhore when I reached home today after sulking though my Gen report the whole day. There's like a dark & heavy cloud over me, dampening my emotions so I had a very blank, impassive look even though I should be HAPPY tht Gen report is done.

I loveee my vest.. Looks good huh?? ;p

So loving the ambiance lights...
Feeling much better now after editing the pics..
Yay!! No more emo-ness for today..

Tonight I'll have to battle wth my Instru report. Hopefully I'll win & end up accomplishing some of it. Pray tht 2mr will be a better day to uplift my gloomy spirits. Hoping to go Pyramid for lunch & then meet up the seller for my chequered blouse. Online shopping is now another way for me to release pent up stress & not burn a hole in my purse. La la la, yippee can't wait for 2mr. ;p

Chaotic Sunday

I hope my report will be okay.
& for every other coming reports & asgmts... :s
everything should be okay. think positive. x)

Was really rushing for my Gen report today. Had an unpleasant morning because I got woken up ard 3.15am Sunday morning by my painful cramps!!!! Damn it, ruined my sleep. Later I laid on bed after taking paracetamol & couldn't fall asleep till bout 5 smtg, 6am. -_- ''' What a "great" morning.
It was a miracle tht I was able to drag myself off my bed at 10am this morning. I had to do my report!!! Took a real good refreshing shower to wake myself up. If not, I would had slept till 12 noon.


After lunch, started continuing my report. Sooner or later, I was distracted by other stuff & was surfing the net & in between typing few lines of the answers. LOL X) Nobody was on9 to chat, prolly everyone was rushing their report too. Mine was a disaster because I had no idea what I was typing out, brain was prolly stuffed wth too much info already. >.< style="font-style: italic;">lucky me. My first LV bag. Angelia Jie,his gf has a friend going over to Paris soon, so she's asking her to help me buy since it'll be cheaper. I was given 2 choices to choose between the new arrival Monogram Canvas Montogueil PM or the Monogram Canvas Batignolles Horizontal in which both price range were similar & within the budget he's willing to pay. I don't care as long as I'm getting an LV but I debated the pros & cons over both bags. But I fell in LOVE wth the Batignolles Horizontal. So cute & roomy!!

Montorgueil PM- classic monogram, although zippered closure but I think the design's too mature for me. :s Not my type of style -___-

Batignolles Horizontal- Great design, roomy,
although it's open-top (not zippered),
I love the simple, casual look of it
wth the adjustable straps to accommodate more.
Read on some forum tht it could fit a laptop.
Although I most prolly wun put mine in it X)
There was a Vertical version,
but it was bigger & not suitable to carry on shoulder.
Conclusion: My cup of tea since I prefer shoulder bags over totes,
great as my FIRST LV bag!!!

In between doing my report, I managed to finish reading my online novel. Weird name I know, 仙人跳 by one of my fav chinese novel authors, 凌淑芬. If ur interested in this book, read it here. I always look forward to reading her books. A very cute, funny & uplifting story. It really raised my spirits & kept me motivated to continue my report. I did it untill 4 smtg then went upstairs. Lazed ard for awhile & then fell asleep till bout 6. Then headed out to my grandparent's place in ss3 for dinner.




Came home ard 9, took my dog out for walk. Busied myself replying emails of sellers because I want to buy tops. Failed to nego the price for both tops, but I simply adore them. Will post up pics from the online boutiques 2mr. Prolly gonna meet up the seller in Pyramid on Tue, so I gotta discuss wth Ruenn & Rene they all to see whther can go lunch at Pyramid on Tue. Now I gotta focus & continue my report. The pics shall be posted 2mr night if I rmb. :p

Report madness

It was raining heavily in the evening again... "Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, ehh.."

Nothing extra-ordinary happened today. Stayed at home as usual watching my TV dramas on my lappie & doing Gen report!! The report has been driving me MAD.. >.< style="font-style: italic;">Ipod Nano. Cool, she has one now too. After tht, we watched the ongoing HK drama, A Journey Called Life, 金石良缘 which I preloaded overnight on Tudou.com. ;p It's a very funny & touching drama. Definitely recommended to watch by me.

A screenshot from 金石良缘 A Journey Called Life.. Luv this drama!!!

Then evening when we left house for dinner, it started raining. >.< Geez, global warming man. Raining heavily everyday. Dad introduced us a restaurant called Fortune Maker Restaurant somewhere in Jalan Kuchai Lama, KL. My grandparents, aunts & uncle joined us for dinner. It's steamed fish head & fish was nice. Especially the steamed fish which was very fresh, you could taste the sweetness of the fish itself. We had 2 dishes of fish, 1 stewed pork, 2 dishes of vege, 1 omelette, 1 steamed tofu plus ABCs as desserts. The bill came down to about RM100 which was very cheap considering a table for 10 persons. Based on the good feedback from my mum & grandparents escpecially my grandad who's a fussy eater, we will definitely will coming back to this restaurant often.



Gotta go back to battle wth my Gen report. Considering to go Amour boutique 2mr wth sis, need to buy some cheap & nice tops for casual wear to uni. :p

Another mundane Friday

Bored outta my brains!! Raining in the nite..

Woke up ard 7am today to finish up my Instru asgmt 1. Reached uni ard 9.30am. Went Gen lect which was as usual BORING!! I was searching for answers & doing Instru tut, but ended up Dr Lim showed up in class & informed us tht Dr Emily is on sick leave. Wat a bummer, we had to listen to him for almost 2 hours!!! Worst part is the answers I wrote for the tut was on Ruenn's paper (I left mine at home ;( The last half an hour, Ruenn & Rene was playing ard wth Rene's Galaxie mag she bought. They were scribbling & drawing on the faces on the cover page. >.<>.< style="font-weight: bold;">DID NOT return me my RM5 change. & I was distracted by Ruenn asking him for more serviettes. In the end, he DID NOT return me my RM5 change. Stupid of me to be so blur & forgetful!!! next time gotta be more cautious!! Speaking for forgetful-ness, Rene was very forgetful today.





After lunch we went to Gen lab. Soon after Rene, Ruenn & Henry etc came from their Gen tut. Then Rene was searching for her hp before putting her bag into the cupboard. This was when she started panicking because se couldn't find it. Similar thing happened last time but we managed to find her phone somewhere near her. But this time, it wasn't in her bag neither it was in her folder. We started retracing her steps & where she could had left it. Since she said she did not take out her phone during tut, it was most prolly left in Instru classroom. Off she went to search for her phone. Later she came back looking worried saying she couldn't find it. Then suddenly she rmbered she did not check the computer table in the classroom. During break, she was using the comp to transfer files from someone. So she hurriedly left wth Rene. Ruenn went along too. After a while I called Ruenn, she said 3 of 'em was outside Instru class but there were students in it already. I told Ruenn to go knock the door & ask the lecturer. Hahah..





Then I went back into lab, Dr Robin was telling about repeating last week's lab because he wanted to try for better results for certain genes. Lucky for ur group we managed to get the engrailed wild type gene. Hoorah.. Angels must have been watching down over us. We did engrailed gene for previous 2 labs & the results were successful. So it was joy rather than suffering because other genes were harder to obtain good results, some of it the flies prolly weren't fertile enough. The amt of eggs, hahah, was sooo little. We were LUCKY again because we ended up wth 1 PERFECT embryo stained perfectly. Then we were the first group to leave lab at 4pm!!! The earliest we left Gen lab so far.




Rene dragged Nini to go to Village Park to yumcha wth us. Henry said he would join us once he finishes. It started drizzling when we passed by DJ & when we reached Uptown, as usual parking was hard to find. We went two rounds searching but Rene ended up double parking once we saw Nini double parked in front of Village Park. Me & Rene ate the usual food as yesterday. I ate 3 eggs today (1 during lunch & 2 half boiled in VP!!!) High cholesterol!! Lucky for Henry Rene's fish ball soup came late. If not, when he reached all of us would had finished our food already. He had his early dinner b4 running off to gym as usual.



After reaching home ard 5 smtg, I started a bit on Instru half report. How unusual, I was in mood & the internet connection was down because smtg was wrong wth the modem outside. Sis was trying to fix it so I started on my work. I was tired ard 7pm so went to rest on bed. Fell asleep till 9pm. Went down to prepare dinner for my doggie & ate vege for dinner. Hahha, good because I had such high calorie & high cholesterol lunch + yumcha session. After dinner, did dishes & watched TV for awhile.



Now it's 11+ pm, blogging since connection's back on, no one's online yet & I have yet to shower. >.<

Happy Birthday Ee Leng!!!

Lunch at Italiannies. Vic & darling eating the blueberry muffins I baked!!

Chicken Parmigiana. Yummy muffins!!

Happy Birthday to Ee Leng my dahling!!! Muakkkzz.. <3

I celebrated EeLeng's birthday wth her & Vic today. Me n Vic dropped by Sunway Uni to pick her up ard 12.40pm & we headed to Pyramid for lunch. Had a hard time choosing wat to eat, since Vic wanted Italian food, we went to Italiannies in the end.


We shared everything: mushroom soup, fried calamari (starters portion is SOO big!!), chicken parmigiana wth spaghetti. We were too stuffed by the time we finished. Ate the blueberry muffins i made as dessert.. Hahha.. Next time need to my double portions because the recipe made only 25 pieces.. If i make double, can leave more for my family & can have muffins as breakfast!! Though I realised fresh from the oven muffins really REALLY have a crunchy crust-like top layer.. Drooling...






After lunch headed I had to rush back to uni for my 2pm Instru lab. Hahah, was slightly late but the experiment hadn't started yet. Lucky me. We managed to finish up ard 4.15, but got stuck in uni awhile waiting for the heavy rain to stop. In the end, we braved the rain by running to Rene's car.





Rene wanna go yumcha so we went driving ard Uptown DU. Browsed some boutiques but nothing was nice. Then i suggested Village Park. Rene ate Fish Ball soup while I ate the roti bakar + half boiled eggs set. Their coffee was not bad actually considering i seldom drink it to find it not too sweet but smooth to the taste. Quite "kau" actually. hahah.. I still owe Rene the yumcha money.. *I pay u 2mr Rene.*




My thought of the day: "Reports in progress.. tiring.. >.<"

Feeling the blues

Went to Pyramid today for lunch & Rene drove because was meeting up her Pre-U fren for a while. We tried out Station Kopitiam which was in Asian Avenue, the food tht came did not even looked close to those on the menu!! I tried the Thai Style Fried Rice same as Rene. Food was so-so only. :s




Toilets at Asian Avenue had nicer decor than other parts of the mall.. Funny rite.?

Ruenn posing wth the nice flower paintings along the corridor outside the toilets in Asian Avenue.

Today's career fair had nicer booths and some tht was science/biotech related. We signed up for updates etc. Then it was work-in-progress again for my Instru asgmt.. >.<>

The blueberry muffins I made for EeLeng darling!! Yummielicious!!
Some were just plain ones wth raisins instead. For Rene who hates blueberries!!

Now gotta continue my work & pack my stuff!! Arrgghh busy-ness ensues.. ;(

Attack of the MONKEYS!!

Bad Fat Tuesday

Had early early "lunch" today at ard 9 smtg. Me & Rene walked to Medan a.k.a. Rock Cafe. I had to eat smtg "clear" so I just ordered kuay teow soup wth shredded chicken & fish balls. Stomach was soo full after tht. On the way back, we had to stop by Rene's car near the jungle to grab our books. What a shock, when we saw MONKEYS running from one car to another.

When we approached Rene's car, one big sized monkey, prolly the leader was on top of Rene's car. We tried to shoo them but to no avail. Then I suggested Rene to use her car alarm to scare them away. Omgosh, when the alarm blasted out, the big monkey screeched & looked ready to pounce on us & attack. Such a close call cos we were standing quite near. Rene when to get for help while I was alone there staring at the STUPID monkey. Whenever I glance back at it, it would bare its teeth and was ready to jump off the car to attack me.. I was praying for Rene to come back quickly cos I didn't dare to make too much movements.



Finally, the guard came back & he used his baton to shoo the monkeys away. Damn ganas (fierce) the monkeys were, screeching & wanted to attack the guard as well. But as soon as the monkeys were high up in the trees, we quickly grabbed our books from her car. Phew.. So glad it was over. I HATE monkeys more than ever from now onwards.. The car beside Rene's (Myvi as well) had the whole rubber/metal lining on the left side of the rooftop pulled out. >.<

Rene's smiley face while posing wth her car's bitten off antenna.
The reason for her smile: because she hadn't noticed the left side rubber/metal lining on rooftop was pulled out by MONKEYS!!
For more on MONKEYS ATTACK, continue reading.

By noon, Chay-lynn dropped by uni to pick TL, me, Ruenn & Rene up & we headed to Pyramid. She wanted to get a pair of of covered flats for lab, so we went walking ard. She finally found wat she like at Parkson ard Rm50++ after 50% off. Quite a deal actually considering originally it was RM100+ :s Lunch was at Wendy's. Everyone had Wendy's burgers or nuggets except for me, I wasn't feeling up to it & decided to walk over to McD's to try out the Spicy Chicken Wrap. It was quite nice wth the spiciness of the crispy chicken piece, but I don't really favour the thin pita bread wrap (dunno whther it was too bland or too cold) :s Had Green Apple Ice-Cream as well cos Rene wanted to buy ice-cream to get free Sausage McMuffin coupon. Greedy her. X) Overall decision was not to go Wendy's next time. McD's french fries & burgers are BETTER.

Wendy's restaurant logo. Why the ugly freckled face girl
(read my caption in it X])?
So unappealing & food was disappointing.

Ruenn's ghost head pose in Gen lect. I edited this pic wth caption & all. ;)
Scary effect rite?? Looks lik she really wants to take her head OFF!!

After Gen lect at 2, me & Rene stopped by & registered ourselves at some of the booths at Career Fair. Some of em ran out of forms & flyers/booklets, aiks :s Lesson learnt. Next time must be register earlier!! When we walked to Rene's car later. Thankfully the monkeys were gone. But not so good news to her car.. Her poor baby suffered damages from the monkeys attack!! Apparently the antenna attack wasn't the first time, few wks back hers was also broken by the monkeys!! But this time, they also pulled out the whole rubber/metal lining on the left side of the rooftop!! I noticed it bcos I found a portion of the broken metal lying on the ground!!


Damn outrageous the monkeys were. There was a pile of "gold" on the car roof which was the goodbye gift from them. So disgusting!!







On the way back home, Rene persuaded me to drive out later & meet her at Upstairs boutique, Damansara Perdana. But I was too lazy to drive out d, although I was tempted when I saw online their sales were ending TODAY!! Ended up re-attempting to use Bluetooth to transfer pics from hp to lappied. Finally my hp was installed then I was happily transferring some of the pics I wanna upload to my blog. Haahha.. Then was busy editing some of it wth captions & filters.. HoooHoo.. Had fun trying out my editing software!! Yippee.. ;p








Read Rene's blog later in the evening. She bought a white button tube (always buying tubes!!! her obsession wth it, tsk tsk). & previously she got a miniskirt & white ballerina flats!!! The flats was what I was eyeing for so long already & the price!! OMG, if I saw the price I would have grabbed it no matter WHAT as long as it was ballerina flats!! SERENE CHUAH is so my shopping ENEMY right now!!! Iiish.. Why is luck not on my side?? Pity me for once pls. ;(
Plus she added that SALES at UPSTAIRS is extended until stock is finished!! Yeah, definitely gonna make a trip there some time soon. Hopefully there'll be some good bargains!!

Taking things in stride

As quoted by Dr Ton my Cell Met lecturer a.k.a smiley witch spinster (u'll do why if u've seen her), "Let's recapitulate what we did yesyerday..."


So let's recapitulate what I did on my weekends & today Monday..


Carefree Saturday, Awful Sunday & Hardworking Monday.



Had a very relaxing Saturday which i passed by watching my US tv dramas eg. CSI, etc. Unfortunately, Sunday was NOT good at all for me. Most of the day was spent lazing ard since I woke up quite late at 12pm noon, & then resumed work on my Gen paper analysis. Although i still had quite a lot more to finish up, I took time off to answer Henry's personal survey :s I was prolly having good mood. Normally, I won't do such surveys but since he pestered me to do it on Saturday I did it.




There were a lot of questions ard 22 i think.. Some of it, hahah i think only a person as thick faced as Henry can ask lah. Funny. ;p





Here are some of the questions in his survey & my answers to it X)

"2. Are we friends?
Duhh.. If not I won’t be bothered to answer this survey. You should be honored to be the first person I’ve honestly answered & bothered to take time to do this survey. Haha. :p"

8. Do you love me?

Haha. You wish lah. If got also, it’ll be sincere friend’s type of love. Nothing else. ^___^

9. Do you have a crush on me?
Crush, hmmph I don’t think so. Hahaha.. But I think in future terms I would want a bf as good as you. See, I’m complimenting u leh.

10. Would you kiss me?

Errr, perhaps, maybe, possible. Friend’s type of kiss on cheek tht kinda thing. Maybe if I was on a dare or smtg or I get some benefit out of kissing u. Hahah, I won’t “sit dai” to other people kay.

11. Would you hug me?

Sure, as friends why not? Hold on, if you have B.O. (read body odour) then no thanks. Keep a distance pls. Haha…

12. Physically, what stands out?

For now, your straighten short & flat hairdo. And since you had dieted & exercised to lose weight, defintely your toned body & muscles. I know u like to show off your toned biceps lah, vain. "

X) LOL, reading back I realized how funny I answered his survey & was very long-winded too. X) Who cares? I jus wrote what I think.





Back to Sunday, I was having a "good" day doing my Gen paper analysis when my diarrhea became worst at night when I reached home after dinner at my grandma's.. I assumed my "session" in the afternoon was normal. But at night, it became worst. My stomach was bloated & windy & I kept feeling of vomitting whenever I burp. Too much gases in my stomach & indigestion prolly :s I took some of my bro's meds (he had diarrhea also few days before) & went to bed leaving 2 questions of my Gen paper unfinished.





Was trying my best to sleep, & somehow in a matter of seconds my instincts took over & I ran into the toilet & puked my dinner out.. I guess the my aunt's cheesecake was the trigger, including the pizza I had for lunch. Too much dairy products. :s
My stomach was empty but I felt much much better. Mum told me to take a sachet of ORS (oral rehydration salt) which was smtg like Eno I guess, to be consumed after vomitting to replenish the bodily fluids. After that, I flopped onto bed & slept.
During midnight I had to go toilet again & I had fever. Luckily I had some paracetamol in my room ;p






Then on Monday i was woken up by my bro ard 7.20am rushing me to get ready. >.<>






Made myself some honey water & then continued sleeping. Miraculously I woke up ard 10am, ate few bites of cereal (w/o milk of course), meds. Then decided to trot downstairs wth my lappie to start on my Instru report. Gasp. First time I started doing work so early in the morning, must be a miracle. Hehe.. Actually it was due to motivation from Rene, she told me yday she had finished 99% of her report. :s I felt bad for not doing it during my weekends. So there went my day today spent doing my report & in between watching Survivor.





Smtg interesting happened today when I was in car wth mum. Was driving her out to OCBC bank in DU & drop by pharmacy to get my meds. It occured to me later it was my first time cursing in front of my mum. X) LOL




I was driving on the outer lane and there was a freaking Kelisa jerking to a stop at a turn out from the Uptown 1 or 2 office buildings, I braked & i think 5 seconds later, he wasn't turning out. So I decided to continue going ahead la. Damn tht bastard, the moment I drove ahead, he decided to turn out!!! Freakings idiots!! Now I rmb during the 5 seconds stop, he & his fren had tht cari pasal look & was cynically laughing at for-gods-sake-dunno-wat.





Tht was the moment when the words flew out from my mouth before I could stop myself X) "What the heck, f*** him la, dunno how to drive!!". Then as soon as my mum digested the words, she was saying, "Oooi, do not curse blah bla bla..". I defended myself saying, "It's his fault la, give way to him don't wanna move, blah bla bla.." Thinking back, it was quite a memorable experience.. Hahaha.. X) cursing in front of my mum.




Nothing interesting happened later on. So that's all. Hugs & kisses.

That's all. Have a nice day. ;)

Essen-tials of the day

Overslept today & woke up about 7.40am, rushed to get ready. Reached uni about 8.15am for SCI Benjamin Li's tutorial. Gosh, it was boring as usual. Enough for me to doze off wei.. :s Not to mention tht I forgo-ed Cell Met lect for his tut & yet it ended early around 8.30am!! Phishh :x
We went cafe for breakfast since Rene has no other break for the rest of the day. I had fried rice wth egg. Ate it wthout really tasting the rice, felt like I was jus eating for the sake of eating. >.<








Today's Gen lab was b-o-r-i-n-g as usual!!! We did the same thing as last week jus wth a different gene!!! Since there was quite a lot of waiting time in btween, we camwhored!! First time camwhoring, I must say Robin would throw a fit wth "It tht wat u do in lab??" Sh** him la, Dr B.O. wth a tooth gap!! First time I've met someone wth such BAD B.O.. It's really hard to take in, trust me. Our fast teamwork today enabled us to finish lab early!!!








We left uni ard 4.30pm, got stuck in stupid LDP bcos of 2 IDIOTS whose cars broke down not far from one another!!! What a bummer.. Then wth me in Rene's car, met up wth Nini at SS2's KTZ (Kei Tak Zek, i think should be tis spelling) for yumcha session. I had a simple mak chuk tong sui. Had to leave space in my stomach for the buffet dinner later. Reached home ard 5.30pm, then had to be busy getting ready for dinner which was booked at 7.30pm. Managed to dry my hair in time when Daddy reached home. We left hse & reached our destination ard 7.50pm or so.









Was totally blown away by the absolutely gorgeous interior design of the Hotel. Definitely much much better than many other KL hotels I've seen. Lots of nice backdrops to camwhore & play ard wth. Tht's wat we ended up doing after dinner ended. Dinner was nice, service was good, had red wine, desserts were absolutely orgasmic!!!







My top fav was the Blueberry Pastry Slices, Cheesecake & ice-cream!! The pastry was really nice, soft enough to sink ur teeth into but yet not oily at all compared to usual pies wth nice toppings of blueberries. Cheesecake was really soft & fluffy. Not too "cheesy taste" tht some cheesecake have after eating more servings. But I limited myself to a small square of cheesecake. Can't OVEREAT!! I had 2 flavours of ice-cream, Mango Passion & Cheesy Fig which name doesn't give credit to it at ALL! Mango was a bit too sour-ish & Cheesy Fig too plain by itself. Together, both made a heavenly combination!! Desserts. Tht's what I call orgasmic!!!






Took lots of pics while eating & after we left restaurant at the hotel's lobby. Camwhored in the lobby area which has great decor!!! It was really high class.






Pics will be uploaded in the next post or u may drop by my friendster to check it out. Hehe. :p But after this buffet, our conclusion was tht we missed eating japanese buffet in Saisaki. After all, our whole family loves to eat jap food.. ;) That's all. ^____^

Feeling good, no?

Just had dinner & feeling the mood to blog. So here i am. Blogging. Today was quite happy because for the first time, me & Rene managed to be the first group to finish Instru lab. Haha, we had good teamwork today, & miraculously I wasn't blur about the experiment. Tada, we left lab at 3.40-ish pm, feeling bubbly. Rene dahling was my transporter today & in usual routine, whenever we leave uni early, Rene would suggest to go boutiques!! Yeah, relieve stress.. We wanted to go to SS2 for maniucure/pedicure, but the bookings were full. No luck i guess..





Instead, we decided to head to D. Uptown for boutiques & wondermilk's cupcakes tht Rene wanted to try. I know the cupcakes are too pretty to eat, the price was pretty expensivc as well considering tht it's so small. RM4.5o for a 2 inch cupcake?!! Gasp.. :s Rene opted for RM 15 for 4 Maxi cupcakes (2 inches). I decided to pass since I dun really have sweet tooth cravings for cupcakes. Though the cafe was very quaint & cozy. A good hang-out place wth friends no doubt.




We also dropped by the usual places: Amos, where they had so called sales. Their sales are prolly weekly or fortnightly. Always seem to have sales. But their recent collection was so-so. I tried out a polka-dot button up blouse in black & in white. I was searching for a white top to pair wth my plaid dress. The polka top was cute but RM40 was not what I had in mind since I was eyeing a similar one but plain white blouse in Amour for just RM30. Rene tried her smocked dress but we both decided not to limit our options & browse other boutiques first.






Next stop was Amour. Their recent collection was nice, but few items i've seen sold online but at higher prices. Rene immediately attacked the smocked tops/dresses while I browsed for a white blouse. Amour still manages to maintain its low price range of clothes as its main attraction. After trying a few items tht I previously saw online, the lesson learnt was LUCKY I did not buy any of it online. The flowery dress from TicTacToe looked too preggers on me!! Prolly the gals from TTT were S size and more petite. :s




Another blue satin babydoll was uber C-U-T-E but because of my height, it was short & seemed to only emphasize my wide hips. :s Fortunately, I found a white button up blouse wth cuffed sleeves tht looked just like what I had in mind. It came wth a b/w striped satin sash tht can be fashioned as a ribbon for the top. Before leaving, I checked out the Little Miss tees tht Mun was always looking for. At Rm20, it's really a steal. Was thinking of buying one for sis/me. I had my eye on the Little Miss Greedy & Little Miss Curious, but the beige colour for Little Miss Greedy was last piece item. The words were a lil faded. So I gave a pass on both items. Definitely will be bringing my sis back to try this weekend. :p








After reaching home, I tried on the white blouse wth my plaid dress & matched it wth a wide white waist cincher so tht I wouldn't look preggers. Haha, I think the overall look was okay. Definitely gonna wear tht look for the Essence buffet (I mentioned yday) tomorrow night. So tomorrow will definitely eat light lunch & keep my stomach free to savour the mouthwatering dishes. yay!!

Rainy days are made for sleeping

I AM BACK!! for good hopefully :x


It has been raining every late noon or evening recently.

So the song "Teardrops on my guitar" was stuck in my brain whenever it rains.
Don't ask me why, maybe it's bcos teardrops are almost = raindrops? The song is also so mellow & the catchy lyrics makes it so lovable.



"Take a bow" by Leona Lewis is also another recent fav song.
Love it's unique start & I love her voice. Definitely gonna be on my playlist for some time. U can listen to both songs on my mp3 player at the bottom. x)



Well, I've not been a good gal lately by abandoning my blog for such a long hiatus.
Haha, my fingers are just too relaxed to blog away.
Vic insisted that I update my blog, so here I am.
BLOGGING.
boo-booh
It's a miracle.
Since I have not finished my 2 asgmts due this coming Mon.
But I rather blog than do FACEBOOK-ing.
Haha, Ruenn a.k.a Barbara, yes, I'm talking about U.


Gotta focus on asgmts & reports.
I'm too hooked up on US & TVB dramas, fashion blogs & online boutique-hopping. Been a good gal recently. Never spend a lot buying clothes from online boutiques. Prolly cos nothing really catches my eye.
Just got a absolutely cute piece from Sugadollies tht spells G-R-A-B- M-E the moment my eyes fall upon it.
Here's how it looks.

Pretty in plaid

Haven't got a chance to wear it out yet. :s
Wearing it to uni seems a bit too much, since I lack flawless & superbly slim legs. & I want to find a white top tht I can wear under it for the preppy Gossip Girl look. It's heart-shaped neckline & cut really is flattering.





Today had lunch at Sakae Sushi@Pyramid wth Rene, Ruenn, Nini, Adrian a.k.a TL & Henry. Decided to skip Wendy's after looking at their menu. But I will give it a try next time. Some of us weren't enthusiastic about it, plus we had a dieter among us. It's miss Rene a.k.a Zara-fanatic. Who is already slim & yet was willing to pay to slim down.
I don't have money for this kind of thing anyway. :x





After lunch, hitched a ride home on Rene's car.
She had a facial appointment booked at CNS-dunno what's the full name at 1pm in DU. We managed to spot a nice parking. Lucky day. But not such a lucky day for the man whose bag got snatched.
Right in front of my eyes.
People say seeing is believing.


After witnessing a snatch theft, it's so scary to imagine if my bag was snatched.
Have to be EXTRA EXTRA CAREFUL of motorcyclist on the road now.
It was jus a matter of few seconds. One second I was looking at my phone outside 7 - 11. Next second I looked up, a motorcyclist was pulling a bag from a man standing right beside the driver's door. I guess he was jus getting out of the car to do banking. He was parked beside OCBC beside 7 -11. So sad to see him kept yelling "Snatch thief" & was running after the thief.



Imagine if I had lost my bag( gasp!! choi choi choi~~):
My purse - cash, id cards, atm card etc
My pencilcase wth my thumbdrive tht have all my reports & asgmts!!
My cardigan
My calculator
My camera
My Ipod
My lip balm, lip gloss etc
All these would have be gone in seconds.
REPORTS & ASGMTS, my work, I would curse the thief if I had lost my thumbdrive!! :s





Later in the afternoon, Mummy dropped some absolutely FANTABULOUS news!! She was asking me either a Sat buffet dinner or a Sun buffet luncheon? Our option was initially Sat night, but it was fully booked. So we ended up booking Fri night.
Venue? Essence at Sheraton Imperial Hotel KL

Drools all over: Grilled venison loin wth parsnip (wha-)? mash

I found a review on it by StarOnline.
Totally mouth-watering & equally drool-licious dishes looking at the pics.
Can't wait for the day. Have to eat less during lunch to avoid overeating at buffet.
I might even wear my plaid dress that night. ^u^
I will have plenty of pics to show.. Yay.


^___^
