Xmas dinner 2013

For this year's Xmas dinner, we chose to go to Chicago at 1U as Jas said that their BBQ ribs are super good!

This is Urs trying to figure out how to use their high tech menu, hehee....

The usual picture of the 4 of us before the food came.

Cheese nachos~ Love this, would definitely order it again!

Beer-battered mushrooms....too bad the ones we had were covered with a super thick layer of batter.

Grilled chicken with mash and beer-battered fries as sides. Quite disappointed with the fries, but the chicken and mash were good!

BBQ ribs with mash and baked potato as sides. The star of the night!! Yummy ribs paired with yummy mash! :D

Some goodies brought back by Jas from Taiwan.

Lovely foldable handbag holder from Tham.

We took this chance to celebrate Jas's and Ursula's birthday too~

hehe....caught them in the action!

Great post Xmas dinner. Unfortunately, 1U took down the Xmas decos a little tooo soon!!! It was only a day after Xmas and there was literally no more Xmas deco left!!

Merry Christmas~!!!

Christmas this year is really happening. Supposed to have 3 gift exchange party, attended 2 so far, 1 more to go this afternoon but I won't be going for this last one as Dad is back.

Here are some very nice polaroid shots by Wayne, of us posing with the gifts that we've received.

One group photo to remember this gathering by...

Though I wasn't feeling well that day, I'm glad that I went to that gathering as it always feels nice to keep in touch with old friends.

Plus I really like all these shots taken  by Max with his pro camera.....all are of super HD and the shots make everyone look so nice!!

Merry X'mas 2013 everyone!!! :D

27/12/08

I've seriously been neglecting my blog recently.....I've only made 1 post per week!!!

I think SL & I will be ending our fyp soon since we've already done all the necessary biochemical tests.

We still have the TLC and bioautography but we need 3 consecutive days for that, which is what we don't have now!!!! It's not that we're lazy, but there's just too many public holidays this year end and labs are closed on public holidays. Thus, we were unable to get 3 consecutive days to run it.

Plus we've never done autobiography before, we'll just be testing it out even if we run it. Hopefully we'll get good results.

haaa.........if I'm not mistaken, the last day for lab work is on 8th January 2009.

~~~~~~~~~

.

The X'mas deco this year at major shopping centres were lovely this year. 1U had this "Alice in Wonderland" theme! while Pyramid even built in a mini-ferris wheel!

.

Love X'mas every year~

.

In the west, people celebrate this special day with their family.......

.

Right here in Malaysia, most people celebrate with their friends, especially youngsters. There were sooo many people out on the streets along Pyramid that I could hardly move around or walk out of the place!!!!

.

Plus there's jam everywhere because people are trying to get to different places for countdown after dinner.

.

Then you see people selling cans which sprays out fake snow.......and you realise that the car next to you IS covered with fake snow!!! poor car!~

.

Yea, then you see people walking all around the place wearing santa's signature hat. It was then that I realised that I forgot to wear MY OWN!!! haiya~ left it at home!

.

Didn't get to eat any turkey this year. Although I've never really like turkey as I find it's meat quite tasteless and tougher than chicken but I like the sauces. Plus, it makes X'mas much more special! haaha.....

.

Anyways, MERRY BELATED X'MAS everyone!!!

.

~~~~~~~~~~

.

Oh....and I forgot to mention where I had dinner on X'mas eve!!!

.

Yo~~~ X'mas ever is seriously a bad day to eat out!!!

.

It was sooo HORRIBLE!!!

.

I had to queue to get into the restaurant and I even had to queue to pay!!!

.

Anyways, ate at Sakae Sushi which I thought was not bad after several visits there. But on X'mas eve.....it was BAD!!!

.

Ordered some food.......which took forever to arrive!!!

.

Some didn't even make it to our table!

.

We wanted to order something else but we didn't dare to because we still got orders that never came!!!!

.

After 30mins, we called the waiter to check on it.........no reply.

.

We can't even leave early because we kept waiting for the food!!!! Our dinner like dragged for so long that the table behind us who came in later had finished their dinner and left!!!

.

After 45mins, called another waiter to check on it..........no reply!

.

After more than 1 hour, called another waiter........and he said that if we still want it, WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT!!!!

.

The waiting time was seriously longer than the eating time.

.

Plus the food tasted horrible......the sushi from the conveyor belt were warm from the lights and おいしきなかった！！！(not delicious at all).

.

Plus they served us food on a dirty plate!! The pink plate was covered with black marks......not appetising at all!

.

Oh...and I never had a crepe style sushi which cracked open!! You know, how a sushi's supposed to be round as a whole? Have you ever taken one which is broken???

.

Plus Sakae sushi had this special promo makis for X'mas and New Years with really auspicious names.....meant for good fortune or something like that. Tried one and it's really not worth your money!!!! Nothing special at all!!! You are paying extra for the names and not for the quality of food!

.

The manager very nicely offered 10% discount due to the poor service!!! However, they extra charged us RM10 for a dish we never had!!!! That equals to a BIG FAT O discount and we PAID EXTRA!!!!

.

But it was also careless of me because we rushed out of the place immediately after we paid and I didn't had time to check the bill till I reached home.

.

I'm a very disappointed customer who is STILL feeling unsatisfied with the service I got. Plus I don't get why do I have to pay the service charge when I never really got any service at all!!!

.

After that night, I swore I'm never going back to Sakae Sushi again......

.

and yes, good food is THAT important to me!!!

.

~~~~~~~~~~

.

Went to Zanmai with the leng luis from dance class today.......for HL's farewell party!!!

.

HL's the Queen of Freestyle in my class and she's the only girl who can really do Krump style and make it look good!

.

All the best to HL who will be continuing her studies in Sydney!!! We'll miss her and of course, miss seeing her dance. Every single person who've seen her do krumping have been super impressed by her.

.

Turns out that there's a double farewell party today as SM will also be quiting hiphop class as she wants to concentrate on poppin.

.

It was really weird because I had a dream of SM last night........In my dream, we were at UG....getting ready for animation class but PM still haven't arrived yet.......and SM was like calling her.....and I couldn't remember the rest!!

.

I only remembered about the dream when SM mentioned that she wanted to take animation classes!

.

Sooo....weird~ am I having some weird powers??? haahaa.....

.

lol.....this is all because starting next February, there'll be 3 branches to poppin' - Foundation, Boogaloo and Animation. I'm still not sure which one to pick....but since my foundation is like sooo.....cacat!!! I might not be able to catch up in boogaloo or animation classes....haaha.....but animation seems interesting!!!

.

As for hip hop....there are also many branches now. I'm currently doing new style~ and Z has been making us do battles for the past 2 weeks including today.

.

Today....I got to watch!!!!! and not battle at all~ haaha.... Z said, "kamu duduk di sini!" while all the gals were separated into 2 groups and battled!

.

Sooo amazing!!!! I love watching battles!!! Really good battles! Everyone has their own signature moves. They were so good, they make me wanna dance too!

.

It's sad that from now on.....there'll only be the 6 of us left in class.....oh, and 1 more boy!

02.12.08

whheeee~~~~

Just handed in my draft yesterday! Felt happy and yet not quite.....because I'm always in the lab from early morning till nearly evening.......and thus didn't have much time to work on the lit.rev.

Yes, we were given the notice early.....but that didn't help either. I couldn't get myself to actually start writing. I was reading journals after journals.....haaha.

No time to rest~ I have Jap exam this weekend which I've prepared 0.01% for! I really had ZERO time for it! I applied for the exam thinking I'll have plenty of time to revise for it.....but no~~

I've not visited the library once! I've not attempted any past year papers! and I've not touched the text books either! I might as well not go for the exam either! because it's quite clear I'm going to flunk it~ahhhh~!!!!

Oh yea, and my wisdom tooth's growing and my gum hurts! The worst part was that I was having sore throat at the same time! I hope the it grows out nicely!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Went to Timesquare last Fri for the Yamaha Instruments Fair.......and saw some really amazing performances on the digital piano. It seriously sounds amazing!

At first I thought it sounds quite similar to the organ but the person there said that the organ cannot produce such nice and realistic sounds. er.....couldn't really tell which sounds more realistic because there wasn't any organ performances at that time....but they both have similar functions and programmes. Oh....and yes, the digital piano was lovely but the price was also very beautiful!

Big X'mas tree!

I love the combination of red, silver and gold balls.

Yesterday was World's AIDS day!

.

Also at Timesquare....and it's still there I think. There's this exhibition area which was built inside and behind the wood planks as seen below......

They were having this "One life" event, co-organised with World Vision??

Anyways, this exhibition is free. Just line up.....if you don't mind waiting the long queue.

You enter alone with the earphone and mp3 player provided to you. There are 3 different stories and the person there will tell you which story you're getting. After that, just listen to the narrator as she will tell you which way to go....

It's really quite interesting!

I got a story about a woman from Cambodia called Strey Mum. Once I enter the place, I felt chills~~~

.

There'll be several stages separated by curtains. The narrator will tell you when to pass and at the same time tell you stories about Strey Mum's life and about Cambodia. Quite tragic and sad!

.

Among all the rooms I've walked through, Strey Mum's room at the brothel left the biggest impact on me. When I stepped in, I felt like I wanted to run out. It's like....ha~ I don't know....maybe it had something to do with the narration too.....*goosebumps*

.

.

You really have to be there to experience it yourself. It's a really good exhibition.....they move from cities to cities.......Tokyo, Beijing, London, Seoul......Kuala Lumpur!

.

Yea....and I had to pass by this clinic where the doctor stamped my hand with this "+" stamp, indicating HIV positive! and then I had to enter the reflection room!

.

.

Before you actually leave, you get to see real life pictures of the person's life whom you've just walked through and what they are doing now to help others. Then you pass by several more rooms........there's this room, where you can leave words of encouragement and pin them up on the walls....... more pics of different people around the world. And lastly, a feedback room with more info's on AIDS.

.

.

For me, I think that this is a good exhibition. It's a way to educate the public about AIDS. You've gotta go and see it with your own eyes to appreciate it. Plus it only takes 20mins. Plus the narration come in 3 different languages, you can pick whichever suits you best.

There are some goodies which you can buy there. All proceeds will be used for charity. Or you can opt to adopt a child too at World Vision.

Thief to my own home

Haven't been feeling well since yesterday. My throat hurts!!! Lost my voice again!!!! 3rd time this year!!!

I only remember loosing my voice like once or twice before........but 3 times in a year!!!!! omg! Is it because of the horrible weather in kl? or all the unhealthy food that I'm eating now??

Was supposed to go Sg Wang for K yesterday but thank goodness the outing was off. Instead, I met up with my cousins and Sora for dinner at Pyramid.

I was supposed to be having dance class yesterday...but the 'blur' me.....went for replacement last friday because I thought I would be leaving for Ipoh yesterday! I went to UG anyways cuz I received sms from PM and I thought that the instructor wouldn't mind teaching me after the class. But turns out, I missunderstood the msg........he told PM to teach me when she sees me. Haiya, still same la! Only thing was that I wasn't dress right for dance prac!!! I bet everyone there must be thinking, "Why is this girl so weird??! She doesn't come to class during her class time but comes after the class ended. Summore dress till like tat!!!!" What!!! cannot ah!! haaha.....

Dinner-Zanmai Sushi! Yum~yum~ After calculating how much each person was supposed to pay and collected the payment, I realised that there's an extra of about RM9. Then no matter how I count it again there's still an extra! Thus I tot. "wahhh....soo nice! got extra money let's go to the shoji kiya and buy some cookies to share among everyone." But luckily I didn't because we were all bloated. I soon realised that the money actually belongs to my cousin because I overcharged her!!!! haiyooo....I'm sooo blurrrr!!!!!

After dinner, we went to Hilton Hotel PJ to check out my cousin's group's Train model. If you guys pass by Hilton PJ by chance, should go in and have a look! The train model was really pretty!!! There's 7 in the world this year and Hilton PJ's model is the 2nd largest after Seoul. If I'm not mistaken, there was a competition and the Taylor's group won with their theme, "Chritstmas across borders", lead by Jiunn.

We took quite a number of pictures there....shall post it up soon!

Btw, becareful if you do park at the free outdoor car park at Hilton PJ. When we were there last night, we saw this very suspicious looking guy in his car. He was in his car while we were looking for a parking space. When we all turned to look at him as our car passed, he quickly turned on his head lights and we thought he was going to leave, but he didn't. We found a parking space nearby but we didn't dare park because we would have to walk past him(even though there's 4 of us), thus we went to Hilton's own carpark instead. Even when we left at 11, his car was still there!!! How suspicious! It's like he's waiting for someone he could target!

When we arrived back at my house......Ta-DA-Da-daaaaaa!!!! No Electricity!!! Perfect!! My gate is an auto gate! Plus there's no one at home! Also....I forgot to bring the auto gate key out!!! I phoned my aunt who insists that the key I had with me is the auto gate key! but I know it isn't!! because it doesn't fit!

My cousin parked her car outiside my house and we all got down to try and open the gate. My cousin JY even climbed in to try open it from inside. I wish I could climb in from my house wall too...but my legs are not long enough and I'm afraid of height! Plus I've never climbed any trees before when I was young!!! Funniest thing was the house opposite mine was having some party and all the guest were seated outside the house and some looking at our direction. I bet they were wondering what he heck we're doing!

There's no one home on my left! Everyone went out...I guessed it was too hot! Then the right side, there were cars in the house and we tried banging their gate(the electronic bell doesn't work) and even shouted but no one answered. Cannot climb my own gate cuz....you just can't!(too many spikes and it's too high) I tried my left neighbour's gate, I could get up but I wouldn't dare jump in to my own house. I'm scared of height and my mum placed flower pots at every corner!

I saw an open gate a few houses away, thus I was thinking if I could get in from there and climbed across the fences of the other 2 house to get to mine! Then I have to worry if their houses have dogs!

In the end I took off 1 shoe and climbed over my right neighbour's gate! I know there are people home because the windows are opened but no one answered when I called. Couldn't be bothered if they want to call police or what! I then had to climb over another fence and becareful not to step on my mum's flower pots!

Then in the house, I couldn't swtich off my alarm!!! Nvm la, since my neighbours are either not at home or in super deep sleep already! Just let it sound! Can keep theives away too!

I later found out that the first house on my row caught fire earlier that evening and thus caused the black out on my row only!!! What an exciting evening!!!
