its 4am in the morning, sounds like gwen stefani's song..
anyway, the clocks ticking away and i cant sleep, insomia..
the sickening feeling where you're tired but you cant sleep and so you go online, realise that you've got nothing else to do, and remembered that you actually still have a blog thats so dead and decided to update. so voila, here i am. updating.

gahh.. still cant sleep.

moving on, i still have one last miserable term left for my so-called higher diploma or 1st year degree, some might say, then its the much dreaded finals in which i eventually have to face like all my fellow friends, who are taking it better than i am, u noe. perhaps the pressure is not felt yet. too early, i suppose. its in march. though, its killing me softly now.. pathetic me, dying a slow death from unnecessarily worrying.

besides the point that i am slacking my butt off since the begining of the term.. im just so, wadda ya call it? moodless? semangat-less could be more accurate, actually. i gotta stop, i keep telling myself.. stop feeling this way, like some dead wood floating in this lonely river.. but then again, am i the only one feeling this way? there could be others you know.. hmm..

there's nothing motivating me to feel motivated.. motivation! where are you!? its like a game of hide and seek really. will "it" finally come out of its hiding place after i scream "i give up"? wont it be too late then as my days are numbered.. and the end is nearer than it seems..

ahhh.. theres alot going on in my pea-sized brain right now.. more than i can digest in any regular day.. stressed out... the few hours of joyfully cycling around my neighborhood went as fast as it came.. that little ounce of happiness wasnt sufficient to last me even until the next morning..

im really trying not to let myself sink even deeper in the downy dumps lately... so, ive been keeping myself occupied with some random acts, namely, cycling late at night, baking and baking and baking.. although u do tend to get even more stressed up when ur cookies dont turn out the way u wanted 'em to. and of course, the best ever therapy available for me, retail therapy. funny how my mood just lightens up after a good day of purchasing a bunch of clothes.. with my friends of course.. its the company that counts mostly :)

okay, i better stop drowning myself in my own self-pity or watever you may want to call it. besides, my eye bags are just about deep enough i think.

bonne nuit!

and it's love...

TIME is . . .

Too slow for those who wait,

Too swift for those who fear,

Too long for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice,

But for those who love,

Time is eternal.

-author unknown-

and yet . . .

Time is the enemy of love,

The thief that shortens

All our golden hours.

I have never understood then

Why lovers count their happiness

In days and nights and years,

While our love can only be measured

In our joys and sights and tears.

-V. J. Rajadhon-

and now, what say you?

...brings out the shopaholic in me.

2008-10-01T23:44:00.006+08:00

I was literally doing nothing productive, yet again, at work today. So, I sped off to MPH to get myself a magazine to not make myself feel so useless and also to kill the boredom-ness in me. But everything is like above RM15.00 or RM10.00 so i decided to get myself a last month's issue on the first day of the next month. Not too behind, eh? I know, cheapskate much? I'm trying to save, alright? =P

Well anyway, I bought myself the September issue of Marie Claire for RM8.00, inclusive of one baby blue MC tote bag. Now, that's what I call worth it. Plus, there's this little booklet of the new Radley Autumn Winter 2008 Collection which is available NOW and I've got this RM50.00 voucher from the booklet andd I'm dying for one of the bags from their gorgeous collection of handbags anddd my birthday is coming.. so.. anyone out there, pretty please?? *shows hopeful face*

New books~

2008-09-26T21:02:00.004+08:00

Well, today's my off day from work so i went and got a few things done. First, i went to college to pay the graduation ceremony fee which is like RM250! So expensive right!? In case you were wondering, it covers the graduation robe, photgraphy shots, tea reception and admission tickets into the Grad Hall for 2 guests of my choice. I wonder what they'll serve in the tea recepton by charging us that amount. Caviar? =P

Anyway, its like a really formal event. Men in suits, with tie and all and women in skirts/dresses and court shoes. Now my mom's bugging me to buy her one because she's afraid of being banned from entering the hall. Gosh, she thinks way too much sometimes. Children below 12 aren't allowed. My brother can't come =(

After that I headed to the library to get more books. I could only get 4 this time and not 5 because my mom is still reading the James Patterson one when I've left it lying around the house for like a week already and she had to notice the book and start reading it only like yesterday... So, here are my current boredom busters-

1] That's the old one, as in, I've read it before. Ironically, it looks the 'newest' when compared with the rest.

2] Are You Afraid Of The Dark? by Sidney Sheldon. Again you ask? I know.. Haha... Just can't get enough of his books.

3] My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I was scanning through the novels at the book shelf when the topic of this book caught my eye. "If you use one of your children to save the life of another; are you being a good mother or a very bad one?" Seems to be pretty interesting to me as it focuses on difficult moral choices... plus, the cover is nice=)

4] Bloodline by Sidney Sheldon. Can't wait to start this one, a page-turner for sure.

5] The Sands Of Time by Sidney Sheldon. Can't wait to start this too!

C'est tout. Au revoir!

gloriousss days...

2008-09-25T19:08:00.006+08:00

Making it glorious at Gloria Jean's Coffee! Here's my first attempt at latte art-

My heart shape like tak jadi >.<>

I experienced my first ever coffee delivery yesterday. Around 3pm on a BRIGHT and SUNNY Wednesday afternoon, my co-worker, Lea received a phone call from a Miss T. She is from the next door building, Wisma C, from P&G company. She ordered 8 cups of coffee from us and we were screamin with joy on finally having something to do because we were all so bored with the lack of business. 4 cups of lattes, 1 iced chocolate, 1 irish nut creme, cappucino chillers and er, cant remember the rest. Well, you get the idea lah.

Then, the coffees were ready. Lea and me were going to deliver it. We were happily walking till McD's and that was when we heard raindrops and possible, thunder. Slowly, we turned our heads to the window and found out it was raining cats and dogs outside. =.= @#$% Shit! So unlucky! I mean, one minute it was bright and the sun was shining and next thing you know, pouring rain. Anyway we went back to GJ's and called Miss T to tell her the situation.

"Could you get an umbrella or something and please deliver it before my coffee gets cold."

That was all she said. Damn. Bicthy much? Lea was already cursing. So we tried lending umbrella but the dumbo aunties at the Guest Service counter won't even lend us the raincoats because they said it was only for shopper's use. Okayy... You think what, we're gonna steal or tear those bloody raincoats is it. Finally, the girls at YR boutique borrowed us their ONE and only SMALL umbrella and we were off.

We came back drenched in rainwater. My sneakers and socks were soaked and half of my body was terribly wet. Soooooo cold. Grr... grr.. grr.. So uncomfortable. Yerh.

So much for the Free Delivery, considering the trouble we went through to get her the still HOT and NOT COLD coffee. Bah. Unappreciative bitch, just because you work at some big-ass company, doesn't give you the right to treat people like dirt.

Emo.

For a while only. Hehe.

i miss college

2008-09-15T19:02:00.004+08:00

i really do. i drove pass my high school the other day and i really miss those days. haihhh.. and now i miss college. but then again, i've got projects, commis to find for kitchen classes and assignments.. but in spite of all that, i still cant wait to get back. hu hu hu...

i went to the college library today. borrowed 5 novels. sadly, thats the maximum. i would've borrowed more. honest. working in gloria jean's is like being part of the furniture. ok ok, im kidding, but quite close. haha. so let's see, ive got:-

1. the secret garden by frances hodgson burnett
[didnt watch the movie till the end so, i'll read the book then]

2. the 5th horseman by james patterson and maxine paetro
[i guess this would be the next in line after the 4th of july in the women's murder club, thrilling!]

3. the potrait of a lady by henry james
[i just love those classic english novels during those king henry viii times, but ive never heard of this one, hope it'll be a good find]

4. memories of midnight by sidney sheldon
[this would be a re-read :-) one of my will-never-get-bored books]

5. windmills of the gods by sideney sheldon
[cant wait to start this one, can sense that it'll be full of suspense, intrigue and passion or at least that's was what is printed on the covers. page turner for sure.]

i finished puzo's godfather in a day so i've got all of this to last me a week=)

and kehlen, i miss you lahh. faster come back to go yumcha or go breakfast with me kays.. hehe=)

wouldn't it be nice?

2008-09-06T14:29:00.003+08:00

let's start with, it's a beautiful but rainy saturday afternoon. and then what? i've got this song stuck in my head, wouldn't it be nice by beach boys. lalalala..

well, i just got back from my trip to langkawi. had to take a flight all by myself. cant really say i like the feeling of flying, esp the take-off, landing part and turbulence? correct spelling ah? haha. but i got to watch the sunset. stunning. really is. w-o-w. let's see.. what did i do? bought plenty of chocolates i.e. ritter sport, hershey's, toblerone and cote d'or. a bottle of absolut mango, cant wait to give it a try cos so far i've tried all the absolut flavored vodka except this one xD. a white sundress from this batik factory, so comfy! spent some time at the beach, hotel's pool, took pictures here and there. besides that, got into an accident, car broke down, flat tyre, rain rain rain and rain all 3 days i was there, met a bunch of great people, visited westin langkawi, visited the best beach bar e-vah, sunba. the band was awesome and so was the long island. =P

been trying to look for a part-time job and i guess im just too picky or lazy. =.= heck, ive got a month to kill and i aint gonna sit around and watch my ass grow bigger than it already is, so yea, any recommendations? for the first time ever, i think i kinda miss my training. lol, cant believe im actually typing this, u noe, usually i'll be complaining and whining about how sucky each training really is but i've met some really great people this time. gone were the days of watching late night movies at pavillion, that was around 2am or 3am in the morning and i would only reach home around, say 5am? haha.. and also the late nights at mamak stalls. speaking of which, i just went for one yesterday at jalan alor. left my house at 12am and picked jf up for supper. am i that desperate? lolx, i hope not. seriously, i can get used to this lifestyle. hmm...

well, im going for a movie now, either deception or penelope. ewan mcgregor or james mcavoy? hehe.. till then, adios amigos.

life-less

2008-08-19T12:35:00.004+08:00

how come sometimes when people come online, they can just like glue their asses to their chairs and not get up for hours cos they have tons of "things" to do? nowadays, i come online and i'm like, okay, so what do i do now? gosh, im leading such a lifeless life. lifeless life? how ironic can this get?! i mean, what are these "things" that they do? i go to messenger, check my mail, facebook, friendster (ocassionally), taylor's online for updates, read a few blogs and bascially that's about it. im done. then i proceed to just sit there and stare at the comp and think of what to do next. i suppose its those online gaming sites that gets these people hitched. so not my type. bah..

oh and btw for my delf, i pass! i dont really know how much per 100 cos it only appears on the cert and the guy said that the cert is not out yet. so yea, we'll see then. but i mean like, its no biggie cos it's only a1 and thats like the totally beginner level and besides, we were expected to pass anyway, its just me exaggerating everything. hehe.

im training at lafite now. service side. kitchen was last month. cant say which was more fun though, or rather which was more not fun. haha, what rubbish im crapping about there. sorry you had to read this. anyhoo, im glad it's just 2 more weeks to go. besides, sam and the others are coming back end of this week from bubu and i cant wait to see them. oh, i miss them so much!!

and i'll be going to pd end of this week as well. some staff trip with the lafite people. it's gonna be a night of bbq an booze. cant think of a better combination but im not sure if it's the right crowd for me. again, we'll see. sheesh, i can imagine the agonizing hangover the day after, after seeing the amount of alcohol they are bringing there, so better have some self-control. hehe.

mum said i thinned down. but honestly, i dunno. dun feel much difference. maybe it's one of those things where you cant see it for yourself until someone tells you about it. like visible panty line, VPL. hahaha! sorryla, was watching E! entertainment the other day. something called the top 50 celebrity fashion crimes. hehe. VPL is the No.1 CRIME! so ladies, beware! always remember to check what's going on at the back. *winks*

oh and im also going to langkawi, staying at the berjaya resort. meeting the 3 bitches there. 3 days 2 nights of utter bliss before the most dreaded and nightmarish term of higher diploma, term 5. with the extra stressful kitchen praticals and the whole entrepreneurship project. fortunately, before all of that i can count on some R&R at langkawi. gawd, i hope the beach there is nice. i would really appreciate the view of a pristine and white sandy beaches like those photographed on the brochures. though sometimes things are not what they seem, i'll still keep my fingers crossed!

now back to my lifeless life. its like a routine already. sleep.work.eat. sleep.work.eat. sighhhhhh. pathetic huh? i know. it really is. 2 more weeks, 2 more weeks. keep telling myself that. gee, it's beginning to sounds like a mantra already. and slowly, one more week, last day and then happiness. haha..

oh but wait, still got my report to do. *sulks* ah, the work keeps piling up, dont they? being the procrastinator that i naturally am, i'll wait till the week before the dateline lah. heee...

till then, toodles peeps!

p/s : ohyah, i bought a new GUESS wallet :-)

hols~

2008-06-30T19:17:00.002+08:00

finally, im having some well-deserved break from college life. term4 of higher diploma has certainly been something close to a nightmare. assignments and projects were handed in just the nick of time and i only managed to study for the test just before the day of the test itself. phew. so yes, i am extremely happy for my VERY SHORT 2 weeks break *only* before drowning myself in work during my 2 months industrial training in Shang KL. yes, it is the same place again, but on a plus point, im gonna train in Lafite. for those of you who don't know, it's just the only best restaurant in Malaysia. like duhh. haha. actually, im not too sure myself, is it really? it might have been for few years back i guess cos they did win some award thingy=) for me, its gonna be a month in service and a month in kitchen. you know, they serve lunch and dinner only and the staff has different uniforms for both the service. a very simple and elegant one for lunch and a classically sexy one for dinner.

oh, i forgot to mention that i just took my DELF this june. DELF is tantamount to French IELTS or TOEFL. i went all the way to the alliance francaise building at KL for the examinations which includes reading, writing, listening and oral. the building was very, uh, colonial? it's a very old bungalowwith overgrown bushes and immensely shady trees. so homey=) and ooh i love the air there. it smelled really really fresh and clean you know, not like the polluted gas you get at the stresst of BB or Pasar Seni. well, i was sitting at the garden, so that might've help. heee:-) anyway, my french lecturer said it'll take about a month for the results to be out. so in the mean time, i'll be anxiously waiting, i sincerely hope that i did well cos i... well, i guess i like french. there ive said it. haha.. all those time bitching about this annoyingly difficult to learn language and how it'll be useless for me.

i think it started with me wanting to know more about their culture. so interested by their way of life and obviously, how it differs from ours. and my lecturers as well, who i believe taught me more than just what we needed to know to pass the term but also about the culture. cant wait to experience it myself when im off to france for my VERY SHORT 2 weeks *only* =( study trip to toulouse. you know, i plan to extend it to a month actually. hehehe... stay there for another 2 weeks with me buddies, visit places, soak up the awesomeness of the place, people, food and oh, the food! ahh.. oh la-la. sorry, getting abit carried away there. but yeah, definitely worth considering, non? =) till then, u guys can come visit me at lafite. we're open for lunch from noon to 2.30pm and dinner from 7.30pm to 10pm. and oh yea, we're closed on sundays. hehe.

speaking of hols, it has been a terribly boring one for me so far. im clueless on finding stuff to do. one day, i was so bored that i even found it highly amusing to google my name. so excited and jakun lah. haha. sad case, i know. take today or any other day for instance, all i did was fetch my bro and sis to tuition, pick them up from tuition, fetch them to school, fetch them back from school. ah, welcome to my pathetic life during my break. i even offered to do my sister's science projetc for UPSR about some animal food chain. and maybe, i shouldnt be typing this out you know, in case one of her teachers might accidentally come across my blog and read this post. she'll be scrwed or worse, expelled. muhahaha. damn, all this free time has got into my head. argh. but on the bright side, she'll get the highest mark for sure. hehe. the project looks damn good. im not tuning my own horn but seriously, its nice. she cant stop parading it around the house and thanking me. hehe=) *paiseh*

i could charge her you know. no, i should. haha. earn some extra income for i sure need some to finance my extented stay in france, right?

zodiac~!

back again

2008-04-12T20:26:00.002+08:00

heya peeps. its been a while and alot has happened since then.

as most of you all should know or would come to know, i've finished my diploma course and currently im continuing my studies in higher dip for a year before moving on to my degree and then eventually the working world. ho-hum. i did considerably well, i think. as expected by most of the people who know me, but honestly not up to my standards though i keep telling people that i didnt aim for it. this is the perfect example for the malay idiom, lain di mulut, lain di hati. which makes the truth even more hurtful. but not to the point where it is excruciatingly painful, maybe the pain is tantamount to only a prick of the needle upon my finger? XD exaggerating much? well, maybe, but hurtful nonetheless. sighs.

i've got to say this thou. thanks to my friends that help me pull through it and save me from becoming such a an ass in front of everyone during the ceremony. not to mention the melaka trip that did wonders to my mood. haha. its definitely hard to forget a trip as eventful and exciting as that. *teehee=)*

so option A or option B?! cant believe im asking myself this question. especially when ive just decided a while ago. i give the word undecisive a whole new meaning. sighs. well, OA consists of F&B management and Rooms Division while OB is amde up of F&B mgmt and Culinary.
1 - im okay with cooking, dun hate it or anything of the sort, but terrified, for some reason. hmm..
2 - dun fancy the Rooms part. cant work with dull and boring, to me at least.... *yawns*
3 - OB is much, and i really mean much more tougher than OA.

verdict?

I chose OB.

why? pourqoui?

i.dont.know. je ne sais pas. sighs. *dats 3times already*

doubting myself still?

no.
maybe.
a lil bit.
a lil bit more?

[classes started on april 7th and they were enough to make my head spin and weak in the knees already. so, prepare my coffin by the end of june, it wont be soon before long and instead of the 'vacant' sign, it'll be 'occupied'.]

ALOT!

butttttt, but at the same time, im sorta well, you know, uhm , enjoying myself as well? mmm... wat to do. wat to do. wat to do. why cant i have both or rather a lil bit of both. it'll be sufficient for me. the best of both worlds. the best of [a little bit of] both worlds? i suppose, i have to stick with what i have decided and see where the river flows? ahaha..

taking chances by celine dion. love that song. thats what im doing now. more or less. taking chances, risks. weighing my options. making choiced. just hope i dont hit rock bottom. too hard.

so to those of you who still think hotel management or hospitality course is an easy course.
Tu ne peux pas savoir! Hmpf!

alors, au revoir mes amies!

~Ma vie n'est pas précisément distrayante mais merci mille fois pour lises mon blog! :-)

busy as a bee

2008-02-19T17:33:00.004+08:00

whoa! last week was one hectic week. i thought i could've at least get some rest the week after CNY with all that spring cleaning and house-visiting. but i really really enjoyed it! maybe cos last year i didn't get to celebrate CNY with my family. i was busy working at Shang Palace, the chinese restaurant in Shangri-La KL.

[11feb] well anyway, the first day of college after the hols was my restaurant practical class and i was the manager. =) initially, i love being the manager. but after that night, i felt otherwise. partly because i chose the wrong night to wear my new pair of shoes. seriously, i could barely stand before the class was over. painful shit! but still, there's too much running around and not to mention the pressure you face from both the lecturer and your own classmates. in the end, i was just glad that it finished smoothly. btw, a BIG THANK YOU to kehlen, kehlen's sis and of course whitni for coming! ohyah, i woke up at 7am this morning to attend the student council meeting at 8.30am. so sleepy (-.-)

[12feb] house-visitng again! this time i went to all my college friend's house. for what!? to collect angpau of course. ka-ching $$ nothing in the world could make me happier except to have more money! muahaha~! nolah, we went to there to gamble also right. its inevitable. you have to gamble during CNY. its a yearly thing. haha.. everything i say here seems so money-related. so, we went to sam's, janna's, eileen's, terence's, yours truly, yishan's, jasmine's and finally chinling's house. dats like cheras to puchong to subang to kota kemuning and to klang. i left my hse around 8 in the morning and came back just before midnight. another tiring day gone by.

[13feb] class as usual from 9am till 6pm. its like one working day. except that its not, its only college! lecturers as usual warning us that our BIG FINAL DIPLOMA EXAM is just around the corner but as usual everyone couldnt be bothered. *shamefully admits* even me=( ist just after CNY lah! still sleepy (-.-) dats like 2 nights in a row i havent had enough sleep. *cries*

[14feb] happy valentine's day! or single awareness day (S.A.D.) or watever you guys wanna call it. 9am class again today. woke up looking like zombie with horrible-looking eyebags, the one, so big until can takung air already. today is also pai-ti-kong day for the hokkiens'. today is the day where, we hokkiens, pray to the gods of the heavens! and it so happens dat today is also the day where i have to work at san fran steakhouse in damansara intan. thankgoodness, i managed to talk my dad through this, and so he allowed me to go for work. they're paying rm10 per hour k! so i worked from 12noon to 11pm. i earned rm110 in cold hard cash just like that! ahh.. the sweet sweet smell of money XD and wats more. it turned out to be fun. i got stationed at the bar. so u can imagine lah. tee hee... but still tiring, as usual. of course la, when u stand for 12 hrs straight! after that, i drove all the way back to klang to pai-ti-kong. reach home around 2am. *yawns* im so sleep-deprived. again.

[15feb] sorry but i cant remember what i did. lol. seriously, my mind just went blank. ahaha.. but i do remember i went for a hot air balloon ride on sunday and another round of house-visiting on saturday. so im still tired. lethargic more like.

i'll post the hot air balloon pictures for the next entry. till then, over and out, peeps.

here i am. yet again.

2008-01-12T11:56:00.000+08:00

Bienvenue mon amies! it's the start of the new term again! this would be my final term, which is term 6 and at the end i'll be taking my diploma exams!!! oooh~! have no idea why i get so excited when it comes to this topic. ahaha~! i guess, it's more of the nervous-excited instead of the excited-excited? hmm.. watever.

anyway, its been a pretty interesting start of a new term compared to the previous 5. well, first of all, i had restaurant practical classes on the first day of college. it really does suck actually, considering that i've been in the holiday-ing mood for so long and it's difficult to shake off that laziness-laid-back-life-is-good feeling that's been growing on me XD butttt, besides all that, i am, truely excited cos i found my guests which is kavita!! yes, she's back from new zealand and she agreed to come for my dinner! yuhoo~! she's so nice! *muaks* i have always been asking my friends here in M'sia but its just soooOOOooo difficult for them to come. *ahem* =P so, when i asked her,obviously, she just said "YES" immediately!see... in canto, u call this 'guat hei' right? or erm.. 'zi mui tong sum' or 'heng dai'? but dats for guys only i think =D

so guess what i did on my first day back to college? we had beer tasting! yup, dats right! i tasted 5 types, namely,

its funny, seeing how my friend's face can get so red in just a matter of minutes. LOL~! and it's just beer. although, ive seen one, walking terhuyung-hayang after ONLY a bottle of budweiser. see, u can tell, goody-two-shoes like her, doesnt have a drop of alcohol in her body XD

i kinda like hoegaarden and surprisingly, guinness stout. the taste is actually quite pleasant you know. but my all-time fav is still budweiser, definitely the king of beers! but the thing is, with beer, first, they make you piss bloody hell alot and second, you also tend to burp bloody hell alot. yuck~! so before class, my lecturer said anyone who wants to pee go now. well, erm i didnt feel like pee-ing so stayed back. so unfortunately, after drinking 5 types of beer at one go, i couldnt hold it in much longer. quietly, i sneaked out and went to the loo. it turns out, they realised and my lecturer thought i went to the toilet and puke/vomit or watever. *malunya* ha.ha.ha.

later was dinner. so i served kavita and her friends dinner. overall, it was pretty smooth except the part in which she used the wrong cutleries and i sorta panicked cos i was afraid that the rest. manager didnt allocate enough cutleries. turns out, they were enough and i was able to replace them. *phew* after class, my friends and i went for our yumcha session. this time it was at leo's in taipan. the place was 'okla' but i didnt know it was that packed at night. hmm.. quite good business after all and there i was wondering, how long before the another new cafe pops up and replace them. hehee...

well, thats all for my first week back. only 3 days of college. so little right? its like college-off-college-off-college. usually i have tuesdays off and this week they had the awal muharam holiday so that makes 2 days. my system's going haywire cos of the wake up early then late then early thing.

I'll end this post with a special offer!

term end. bored. hyped. clueless. planless. sigh...

just finished my law and french paper today. walked out 1hr 15mins earlier for the latter. dont get me wrong, i answered all the questions already, duh. got tegur-ed from my sis when she picked me up, said that im trying to be ack-see. watever la doink. like you're not. heee=)

dunno - whats wrong with me. i keep studying those topics that are not coming out in the exam. i would be like reading chapter 1 to 4 and chinling would call me up telling me that the lecturer only said chapter 1 and 2 coming out. benggang-nya, all my time wasted. guess i havent been paying attention in class. body's there, but mind and soul? god knows where they went. blame it on my attention span, blar-dee low or is it that monotonous voice coming from the front of the classroom? XD

dunno - why my peers turn so kia-su suddenly. i mean, where did they soak up that amount of kiasu-ism? like something so contagious, silently affecting everyone. so sien lah sometimes. they think about it all the time, talk about it, surround themselves in it. studies. at first, u think u just compete with this person, next thing u know a few geniuses pops up every now and then. aihh, pressure lah me.. and i have this thing with laziness, u noe. my life partner. :/

dunno - why im having mixed feelings. love what im studying, hate what i'll be doing later. must be all the bad experiences in training. oh, how they treat u like shit because u're wearing that name tag with ur name and the word, trainee below it. argh! how lah lidat? i can picture my life falling into pieces ahead of me! yea, too dramatic. better take some time-off to clear my head, a vacation would be nice=) too bad, my mom and sis are soooOOooo lazy to pack their suitcases although my dad and me already so ber-semangat! hmpf! they cancelled the trip to fraser's hill, u noe. boohoo!

i know that im going to sunway lagoon! i know that im having rm450 t0 go shopping! i know that im going for a japanese buffet with fresh oysters and haagen daz ice-cream! mmm~!

relaxed.satisfied.tired.sleepy.bonne nuit!

2007-11-24T00:04:00.000+08:00

its been a boring friday night after an eventful thursday night. yesterday, i was on a part time job in the gardens mid valley. it was a Marks&Spencer fashion show in the boutique itself catered by bakerzin. pretty simple work actually, serving canapes and some beverages. that's all for only rm50. ka-ching!! we got some M&S goodies as well=) i saw Elaine Daly; she was the host of the event, Dayang Nurfaizah; the performer and not to mention the amazingly gorgeous models! even better when i get to see them upclose as i was quite near the runway. nearly got me head over heels.. LOL!

what's with Malaysian people and free food? am i to understand that they think of canapes as their dinner? i mean, c'mon they're just bite size dishes. no bigger than the size of a cookie. there i was carrying a plate of canapes into the shop, and after about 5 steps (or less) my plate was clean. i havent even reach to the people standing inside. and i thought to myself, maybe they are just curious to try the food. to my surprise, this 'curiousity' lasted for almost 2 hours. that's just a part of it. where to they put the food if they dun like it? they could have been a tad bit more decent and just swallow it up? oh, no. they had to wrap it up in the tissue and just dump it on my tray as i walked by. some of them, dont even bother to wrap it up properly, so u can see bits and pieces of leftovers. urgh.

and the alcohol... we dont even have enough wine glasses to pour the reds, whites and the sparkling. *phew* this guy was like, another glass and another and another and another from 7 to 11. he was practically swaying from side to side with eyes barely even open until he friend decided to bring him out. its just funny watching people like that sometimes. anyway, it has always been like this for events such as this. we, as servers would observe and then we would go and laugh behind their backs. lol, my karma's gonna be so bad. its hilarious, especially when they are about to do something embarassing and they'd think no one is watching and it so happens that i witness all this, is it just sheer dumb luck? XD

all in all, it was a great night and i got my rm50 and my M&S goodie bag. its a shame i couldnt keep the apron. but then again, you can get everything you wish for =P

i went for supper at williams later. that's 2 nights in a row already. dear me. i ordered this strawberry banana drink. it had some lychees and longans inside. yummy! for food, we shared nasi goreng ketam, cordon bleu and cheese nann with condensed milk. the last one, is really a sin. gluttony. in the end, yishan, eileen, jiafoong, chinling and me were completely bloated. ahah! and it was only rm13 per person. honoestly, you wont be dissapointed when you go there =D

well well, that's about it. im going for a wild wild west themed dinner in college tmrw. i mean, today, considering the time. hehe. i even got a cowboy hat to go with my outfit but i'll save it for another post.

adios amigos*

glad to be back~

2007-10-11T20:46:00.000+08:00

heya peeps! boy, am i glad to be back. not to say that penang was a wretched place or anything like that but the hotel was. im just back to my own comfort zone, u know what i mean? well, never mind that. i barely have time to settle down/rest. just after a day and a half back to subang and i find myself waking up in the morning, ready to start my new term of college. how fast can it be? can barely feel the time flying by. *phew*

guess what? i only have 5 subjects this term. sounds good? not really. there's a catch. the syllabus is deifnitely more than the previous term per subject. its pretty lengthy. its only a week and i feel like we've couvered enough to last for the month. is my brain getting all rusty or what? on the brighther side, i have fridays off. only attending college 4 days a week now. heee.... XD

the stress meter in me is about an inch to reaching the maximum though. honestly speaking, the coursework is getting tougher and tougher. who in the world said hospitality studies was the easier option was terribly misunderstood.

for french, i have to write an essay and present it. it will be like reading a bunch of tongue twisters really really really fast until your tongue can no longer move or even get tangled up. for english, i have a loud-speaker lecturer who as u may have guessed, speaks super loud. she thinks we cant hear her or what? heck, even the next classroom can hear her i think. i've got 2 essays, one class presentation and to collect 40 articles related to tourism m'sia. language studies kills. oh, im taking law too. dunno bout some other people, but it sounds kinda interesting to me. =) the lecturer's pretty sarcastic too. calling us hopeless and all that. hmmm..

and one more thing. my birthday's coming up! about time, dontcha think? lol, ive been waiting for it for too long now. my dad gave me my present already! (ka-ching) then he asked us of our plans on dat day. he then tried to persuade us to stay at home. he said that i should stay at home to REST (boring*yawns*) and he will not call me to do any HOUSEWORK on dat day. tempting? i think not. haha. if he would have said a week or a month, perhaps i would give it a second thought. =P My sis and i just smiled like how we always smile. he ended by saying "u two better not have any plans on that day ah." my dearfunny daddy =D

over and out*

free as a bird..

2007-06-24T21:12:00.000+08:00

yuhoo~! here comes my well-deserved one week break and then it's off to Penang for me! the good thing, no need to study. seriously *wont say the word hate* dislike studying. urgh. the bad thing, boredom. blehh... if only i can go out everyday, hangout with friends or anything...

on a brighter note, Penang! Penang! what's not to like about Penang?! :D im so excited. 3 months sounds both kinda long and short at the same time. long as in working 6 days a week and sometimes with more than 8 hours of work. short as in not enough time to party and really visit the place with all the great food and stuff. Lol.. Oh, and my parents are like SoooooOOOOOOoooooo worried for me. seriously when will they believe me when i say i know how to look after myself. my mom told me she's trying to let go though after the 3 months training in KL in which i drove to work everyday and come back around 12+. but my dad, *big sigh* dunno what to say really. he wants me to call back every night while im there, e-mail my working schedule while u're at it, he says. expect me to come back to KL half way through training. hmmm... still dunno whether i want to or not.

im gonna go rot in my bed now with a book maybe. am SO dying for a good book or two. any recommendations, anyone? =)

finals?

2007-06-19T12:18:00.000+08:00

it's funny you know, when anyone talks about finals, people go quiet and serious all of a sudden cos it's this big exam about anything and everything that you've learned throughout the whole term or semester. well, in my case, it's just 3 months. 1 term is 3 months or less than that actually. lol. i have to go through 6 terms. so when you come to think of it, when someone says finals to me at the end of every term. i would just go like, hmmm..yeah. ok. cos there's still so many more "finals" to go. however, when it comes to exams there's still this inevitable feeling of fear that will creep up on you. fear as in did i studied everything? what if the topic that i predicted didnt come out? and as always you could always forget. u studied, but u forgot. or as janna say she only manage to remember half. or abit. hehe...

but for now, it's like, ok exams just study and sit for the exam den yay, its over. if i didnt score according to my expectations or rather my dad's i can say at least i tried. try to be the best of course. i seriously cant believe what my english lecturer said the other day. she told us all our assessment marks before exam. so some people got like 42/50. the passing mark for the term is that u have to get more than 50%. so she went like," for some of you, you guys can just sit for the english paper on thursday and answer 8 questions and walk out. that'd be enough. haha.." i looked at sam (O.O) she wants us to just pass?! goodness. maybe she was joking i dunno but yerr, dun say till like dat la. boo.

ohyah. i cut my hair dy. short hair finally. my kinda style. =)

day by day

2007-05-31T23:25:00.000+08:00

my grounded days are far from over but i have yet to enjoy the days of freedom that i now possess. why is it so, u ask? blame it on the truckload of assignments, i'll say. but alas, today, is the day where everything is settled once and for all. may 31st. the due date of MOST of me projects. or aka the BR day. where they have 31% on all ice-cream. my dumbo of a sister had the nerve to go there and not tapao some back for me. hmpf. anyway, with all the worries gone, i can now enjoy my holiday at Cameron Highlands. weird thou, one day my dad came back, told us we're going there and even booked the hotel and everything. instead of too little, too late, it's so much, so fast maybe? ahh, lame. im feeling so bored and my boredome brings out the lame-ness in me. uhm, wat else? so, its gonna be a 2 day 1 night stay. short huh? i thought so too. better than nothing though. its gonna be me and the picture-perfect view, strawberries, cactus and BOH tea. after the countless times ive been up there, finally my dad decide that we're going to visit the plantation. FINALLY. hmmm... but i think i prefer Lipton better. shud i sneak in one Lipton tea bag and compare it to the BOH one? i mean, how much difference can there be? tea will still taste like tea. it's just the brand right. then i guess i prefer the colour yellow =D well, thats all for today's short update of my dull and not-so-exciting life. ho-hum.

over and out (-O-O)

updates

2007-05-19T21:27:00.000+08:00

its either i have hearing problems or my mom have to speak clearly. my dad was driving us to have bkt in klang tonight. so reach there already, then have to find parking right? got this parking space la but have to do side parking, kinda sempit also. so in the end my dad manage to squeeze his gigantic rexton in. before we all got down the car, my mum said, " wow, daddy is a super fucker..." actually it's "super parker" la. she always like to state the obvious things. LOA. haha. anyway, me and my sis at the back was like (0.0) "wattttt...." then we burst out laughing wei... like damn funny right. my god, such an awkward moment man.. LOL! and now i feel damn full with all the bkt in my tummy. all the additional ingredients *ka liew* such as pig intestine, chicken feet and yau char kuai. yummy!

ohyah, my mom went and did her eyebrow embroidery or watever u call it. so funny wei. first thing i came back i asked her "ey... u took kangjuan's crayons and draw is it!?" LOL... then i got a pinch from her in return. my dad reactions was the funniest. he was like "loh por, what you did to ur eyes la?" then my mom explain la... yada yada yada... where she do and so on. *note that she didnt say how much* my dad said, " yerr, but why so dark wan..." *confused* den finally he asked, "so how much was it?" my mom told him it was few hundred bucks to sorta tatoo ur eyebrows till it looks so fake. my dad shakes his head and looks at my mom in bewilderment and said "haihz... why do you do this to yourself lah?" =D

btw, im going to be the restaurant manager for next week's service! yay! =) i feel excited, anxious, stressed up, anticipation all at the same time. i've wanted to be the rm since like forever. its so cool u noe! heeee... =D and i bought a new skirt from padini to wear it on that day. hehe... i really hope everything goes well lah. if got any screw ups, i also dunno whether i can handle or not. haih... *fingers cross*

ahhh, assessments, projects, assignments are all piling up at the wrong time. too much of a thing, kno? french, business english, marketing, food science.... seriously need some time out wei... need a getaway of some sort... and not to mention the constant nagging from chinling about me getting a nervous breakdown every now and then cause i always do things last minute. (-_-) i'll try and buck up kays=)

besides the depressing news, recently, i have this addiction towards bubble tea drinks. just cant get enough of it. and slurpees too. a new 7-11 joint just openned in my college! better practice some self-control or i'll be burning a hole in my wallet. but i wanna try this new banana ice blended drink at starbucks too. heee... wait for me ya, dont take the drink away so soon... *.*

well, who will it be this time?
i guess i'll start with marketing cause i havent been paying attention in class lately. haha.. been fooling around alot. ahem. sorry yishan! haha... didnt mean to throw that piece of expired gardenia bread at you right in front of Mr E! malunya...

2007-04-28T13:34:00.000+08:00

my dad took my car to the car wash today! im so glad i dont have to wash the car myself! hehe... now its so nice and clean =) my projects are still piling up. yes, finally ive started on a few and everything also need money. money to buy this material, money for the menu, money for the mocktail, money to buy paper, money for lecture notes, money for make-up, money for everything!! argh... and i cant work to get extra cash for my own expenses. grounded... sighhhhhh.....

i did something downright stupid, and er... yeah, stupid. maybe even idiotic, haha... Mr K came in class the other day and asked if anyone was willing to teach term2 students in accounts. the pay is rm20++ but below rm50 and they pay by the hour. i was like "wahh..." sam and chinling already decided to sign up for it. but er me leh... c'mon i know i know u think my accounts like shit right!? well, i actually got quite high for the previous year-end exam u know. cos i practiced and practiced like crazy k! i did all the excersise in my sis a-lvl accounting book. so yeah i earned it. but now, its been 3 months plus and i havent even touch one of thos books YET. so... being so desperate for cash i went with chinling and put my name down. yea... go ahead and laugh... sighs, now im seriously doubting whether i can do it or not. what if i teach them the wrong thing? what if those term2 students hate me for making them flunk their exams? what if lecturers scold me? what if im the laughing stock of the whole college? i think im gonna pull out lah... no confidence... sad case right... no money and sulking... as if that's not enuf, this is what my mom and whitni said when i told them while watching csi...

me : i signed up for tutoring.

wni and mom : ??

me : im tutoring students in college...

mom : oh, dats good.

wni : how much? free ah? (everything's about money to her)

me : more than 20 bucks but below 50. they pay per hour some more.

mom : wahh so good ah...

wni : then i can go or not? *giggles*

me : go and die lah...

*silence* -csi was back on-

me : *silently* in accounts...

wni and mom : *looks at each other* muahahahahahahha....

wni : serious ah...?!

me : yea... *laughs along*

work work work and more work

2007-04-23T23:25:00.000+08:00

could these few days be any gloomier? all i have is work and more work. let's see what's lined up for me this week. well, i have cost accounting homework. yea i know. it's so rare for me to have homework in this course. honestly i dont really have hoemwork u know and now that i do, like so tak biasa. i have more projects than homework actually. so after that, there's the proposal that i have to write for english week. i'm organising a treasure hunt+amazing race kinda thing. lotsa work and research. next would be the food science assignment. gotta go to the library, watch some half-an-hour to 45 mins video and fill up a questionaire. and after that is to wash my car. my dad wont take it to the car wash for me like wat he does for my mum's and his car every weekend. he wants me to wash it all by meself. using a rag, soap powder and a rreasonably small pail. then french week is coming, i have to design a promotional poster for a gastronomic restaurant in french. thank god, its a group work. wat else? ohyah english project! come up with a promotional kit for a restaurant too. and last but certainly not least would be my INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT!!! most of my friends have started and i havent even made an attempt to work on it. am i a goner or wat!?

i was in econs class today. i ask my lecturer to explain more on complement products. she says its kinda like petrol and car. products that go along together to be able to function. to me, kinda like work and stress. speaking of stress, tmrw i have restaurant practical class. so have to make up lah. and guess waht!? my sweet innocent angelic yet devilish at the same time little brother broke my freakin expensive revlon eyeliner which i rely on to make my not-so-big eyes a lil bigger and nicer. argh!!! all my savings shattered into tiny pieces on the floor. waaa... stress again... cos im gonna look like shit tmrw. bah!

the good times~

2007-04-18T23:23:00.000+08:00

i've got nothing to blog about. some people post lyrics but i post pictures. so there you go~ my trip to genting last year with my college mates and of course, whitni.

back to college!

2007-04-09T19:48:00.000+08:00

woke up like 7 in the morning today although my first class was at 9pm. why? got a call from sam yesterday and she told me that she'll be there early and she doesnt want to rot at the lounge all alone. so, i got up early just to ah "teman" her. hehe=) so sleepy... so i tried my best and arrive at coll around 8 something, to find that she already got her teman. maylee was there early too. ish. *yawns* so we lepak at the mamak for a while then off to find classroom 6. FRENCH CLASS!! the class i've been waiting for since i started college. my lecturer? Mr Chia smth smth. a chinaman. haha... well not quite lah. feels odd though to have a chinese guy teach you french. god, how wrong was i when i heard him speak. his PRONUNCIATION was EXCELLENT! hmmm, maybe abit too excellent lah, hehe... french language requires one to use alot of his/her nasal sounds. as in like the nose and the throst too. you have to literally snort or spit/cough (like, u know, when u have phelgm in ur throat >.<) when speaking. when i said he was excellent, it doesnt mean that he snort and cough very well k. heee...

but seriously it was a fun class. he went around and ask every single one of us our names in french and made us reply in french too. then we had to pair up and write out a dialog in french and present it in front of everyone. as usual, my partner was sam. god, how she hates presentations. its some kind of phobia she's got that i dont think she'll ever get it over with. so as i predicted she's quite nervous. here's our convo:

me : Bonjour! Comment-allez-vous? [good day, how are you?]

sam : tres bien, comment vous vous appelez? [very good, what is ur name?]

me : je m'appelle shen ni. tu t'appelles comment? [my name is shen ni, wat's ur name?]

sam : je m'appelle sam.

and before we could end with au revoir, we both just walked back to our seats. haha... obviously our vocab was so so limited. i even feel weird saying those words. eeekkk... other than the 'or-ri-ble convo, we're gonna use a textbook which is written fully in french *u cant find a single english word inside* and a dictionary. french-english of course.

next class was restaurant tech. lecturer : mr bertrand!! LOL... the cute french lecturer. he didnt really teach much though, he just brief us on the subject, assessments, assignments, bla bla bla... i sat on the first row. such a wrong place. i had to look up the whole time. did i mention how tall he is? =) my poor neck was aching a lil after class. we were dismissed early so chinling decided that we should go to pyramid and have kim gary's for lunch. n dat dumbo girl didnt tell us that she got no car today until we walk to the carpark so all 6 of us had squeeze into my poor old ford.

came back just in time for econs with ms uma. surprisingly i wasnt sleepy where else ms chinling on the other hand was taking a lil nap happily. dozing off on the first 5 mintues already. tsk tsk tsk. janna was taking notes. dont be fooled. think like she so semangat all of a sudden?! just ask her what is she writing and all you'll get for an answer is just a blank stare. she has no idea what she's writing. LOL... just writing to stay awake, tsk lidat also got.

the first day of college is always fun. especially after 3 months of free labour. u dont learn much, no information overload. just hang around, chill out with friends and lecturers. hmmmmmm..... so relaxed. no pressure. well, at least not yet =D

boredom...

2007-04-07T13:08:00.000+08:00

this is maylee. the sor poh who likes to cam-whore in front of the comp. heee...!
i dunno what happened but somehow the pic ended here. so er...

its a beautiful saturday afternoon and im at home doing pretty much nothing whatsoever. blah. boringnya... i had dimsum this morning. i love dimsum. i love it. i love it. i love it. even when i was in malacca and i walked the whole stretch of Jonker Street, i still ended up having dimsum for breakfast *cos it was the only shop that was open at that time =D* the problem with me and dimsum is that i always tend to order more than i can eat and then my dad'll start lecturing me. "its not good to have a heavy breakfast, eat too much so early in the morning not good *but it was like 10 already* yada yada yada..." haha... kinda like this morning. in the end we have to tapao back a few items. i also love to drink cha wong with dimsum but my dumbo of a sis always order hueng pin before i can tell the server there. ish. but come to think of it, heung pin also not bad la... hehee... so that was my saturday morning breakfast. its kinda like a routine thing actually to go and have dimsum every saturday for my dad cos for some reason he loves that restaurant so much. it could get pretty boring sometimes u know.

now, im like doing nothing. going online, listening to jay chou. omg, i love him so much!! but maylee thinks im rather slow cos i seem to like all his old songs. duh... last time i didnt even know who he is k =P maylee is such a mean girl u know. dun be fooled by her "cuteness" or even sometimes "lala-ness" lol.. im having so much fun now =D she and her sis always calls me "weirdo" for some stupid reason. irritates the hell outta me. grrr... well anyway back to jay chou, he's so cute and he sings really well too which is great cos before this i used to think all chinese songs sounds the same. hehe...

ohyah this morning after the dimsum, my lil bro the rascal stepped on a chewing gum on his way back to my dad's car and we didnt even realise after he got into the car. by that time all the chewing gum was all over the carpet and er some of it over me too cos i was beside him. ewwwww.... damn freaking disgusting, i can practically smell the saliva off the chewing gum. YUCK! when we got home my dad made me and my sis clean it up. we couldnt use tissue cos it'll get stuck on the carpet so we had to use our fingers and pull out the gum. sighs... horrible moments...

my sis just cooked some cheesy pasta and she gave me a big bowl. its actually not bad la, omg, im gonna be fatter than i already am. jeez.

2007-02-27T17:40:00.000+08:00

first time in my life, im not celebrating cny with my family and friends. it sucks sometimes and it does not sometimes. haha. i have no idea. but i think it sucks mostly. i feel damn shitty serving people and seeing them having such a great time with their family and me missing mine. then there's the time where u get 100-ringgit angpau. angpau only not angpau's' k and u sorta like kinda forget all ur worries for a while, i said for a while k. hehe. but soon im gonna be broke also la cos im going out practically everyday. that day to klcc then lot 10 then kl plaza then starhill then the weld. its the damn break shift that i have. nothing to do for like 3 hours. sighs. life sucks? i dunno. ivy keeps saying so. but i guess not really la. =) i really need a holiday and i cant wait to get back to college. btw i still tak puas she got top student. more to jealous actually but what can i do. have no one to blame but myself=( better luck for the next one i suppose.

its one of those places where time passes oh-so slowly... i've experienced it while waiting for my passport, while working in my auntie's office... and now i'm feeling it right here in my college. now why would someone like me be in college when its term break?? damn, its so saddening, i thought i could get a break from this place a whole two weeks but no, i'm stuck here for 4 days! 4 whole days! (well actually its from 9 to 5... but still!) where the time here passes extra slowly until u can feel it drain out every amount of energy u have left.

i'm sitting here, at the student services center keying-in data for those scholarhsip students that are coming in the next year. but for now im just stealing some time here to blog before i really really rot to death in this comfy office chair. hehe... its so comfy that i can just sleep on it or even feel my body melt through it. XD haaa....

what are holidays for anyway? to take a rest? a break? a vacation? im like 18 la how much u want me to rest?? im getting so restless these days... dying to go out but i cant. "as a scholarship student u require to help out in college, so we'll need u to come on..." see and note that they say "help" and not "work" cos yep, u're right im not getting paid. free labour, damn, it feels so shitty.

oh god, she's back i gotta go. chao.

HOLIDAYS~!

2006-12-17T10:45:00.000+08:00

it's the holidays for me!! after the grueling exams i had to take for my finals. college has been great so far. im working at college today for the open day for 40 bucks. im stationed at the front office section and nothing much is happening *yet* we're (janna n me) just hoping/waiting for the parents/students to pass by when they're having their campus tour...

i went for the planet shakers concert on friday night. it was great. had a blast there. i drove there with janna, eileen and JR. then i saw my cousin there too. we sat quite far behind as we arrive a lil late. i jumping like crazy... hehe=) the songs were nice and they had a good preacher. it was not all the time talking and seriousness, there were jokes and funny moments. overall, it was awesome. i thought it was just something fun to do after my exams cos i went for the fun of it cos janna kept persuading me but to me, it was more than fun! an experience i'll never forget. i wanted to get t-shirts but sadly they were out of size. only the humungously big sizes were left=(

im gonna work for the whole of my 2 weeks holidays. i wanna buy some new clothes for my coming internship/industrial training at shang. and that's if i get accepted. kinda shitty though, cos they told us there will be no interviews for us (me, Ivy, JF and EF) but now i have to go for the interview on this wednesday at 3pm. all the way to KL just for an interview....

kinda bored now cos so far only 3 parents came. me nad janna rotting here. thank goodness i brought a book. violets are blue by james patterson. so i'm gonna continue reading the book till its lunch time. over and out ^^

2006-11-30T09:41:00.000+08:00

and i'm like so freaking slumber/lazy/semangat-less

but on a brigther note, im going out today to get my new shoes from clarks at some warehouse sale they have in shah alam! yay~! up to 70% k... hehe=D

cheers~

exams...

2006-11-20T18:32:00.000+08:00

today was bad and...good i suppose. good because i got back my accounts paper from the previous end-term test. i got 53.4/60 !!! O.M.G. i mean, accounts, me, 53.4/60! wow!! got real shocked when i snatched the paper from yishan. hahaha... so so so happy lah... all the exercises that i've done...wahh... i feel so satisfied. ehehe...

bad day. because i received a complaint. had kicthen class today and chef chong call me all of a sudden and ask me to go to the restaurant. so i went with him. a guest complained that there was a hair in his appetizer. damn malu lah. had to go out and apologize. then he told the rest of us to check our food before we sent it out. but it was a pastry. the hair was found inside the pastry, how was i supposed to know, or see?! later my classmates told me their dishes inside also got hair. haha... weird lah today. am i like getting too stressed-up until i start losing my hair? ewww.... hope not man.

just another 2 or 3 more weeks for my 1st year end finals... i went for the exam briefing last week conducted by mr yeoh, our so-called principle who always urge us, the fellow students to go clubbing more often. and when we see him there we were told not to call him 'sir'. anyways, i saw the exam paper for the previous year and it was actually do-able lah. i see some of my friends sighing and worrying their butts off about the paper when actually its no different than our normal assessment papers. no, im not boasting or being cocky or whatever. some ppl just worry for the sake of worrying le. it annoys me terribly. i know i have to study, i will, i think i will. hehe... damn, laziness again and again. how am i gonna get back the semangat of studying when i'll fall asleep under a minute after opening the oenology book. =(

ive been watching alot of movies these few days. 3 in fact. flushed away at midvalley on wednesday, death note at pyramid on thursday cos class cancelled and lastly casino royale yesterday at summit with my family. i really really like death note. cool show~! everyone should go check it out. and the god of death looks so cute! kawaii~ cant wait for part 2!

Auf Wiedersehen

feet feels like tau foo...

2006-11-14T18:13:00.000+08:00

im re-typing what i just typed like 5 minutes ago cos the college computer just automatically shut itself down. damn. so anyway back to what i was saying...

i had a really great time working at klcc convention center for the freescale/motorola anual dinner! my group leader ms betty said i was the fastest to finish serving among the whole group! heee.... XD finally i get english-speaking guests! haih, after so many banquets, i was in agony trying to figure out what the uncles and aunties were babbling in mandarin. telling me which part of the fish they wanted while i was too busy removing the fish bone to actually bother straining my ears to listen to them. eeesh! cant they just eat the bloody fish already!

so weird man, one of my guest was an indian man. when i unfolded the napki and placed it on his lap,

indian guy : hi, will u be serving our table for tonight?
me : yes *not yeah but yes* teehee...
indian guy : oh ok, good. btw im Mxxx *i forgot his name right after he said it* what's ur name?
me : oh, im shen ni.
indian guy : *smiled*

in my head i was like "hmm...okayy weird..." and his smile way too creepy to be considered as polite. i thought he would forget my name also lah. but omg hell no. he remembered it as if i had it written in bold letters across my forehead. through out the whole 3 hours he kept calling me lah!

indian guy : SHEN NI... can i have more kicap?
indian guy : SHEN NI... can u leave the rest of the food on the table?
indian guy : SHEN NI... can u pour tea for my friend here?
*when i served the dessert* indian guy : oh SHEN NI... sudah kenyang lah...

yerr, i was happy he left early. *phew*

on a happier note, guess who i saw that night!? NING BAIZURA! her voice damn nice lah! there was this time when she was singing i just stood there and stared till my supervisor came to me and said : u suke dia ke? shit! i was like : ehehe... takde lah. *walks away fast* then the emcee was a guy named Abang Aznil. lousy lah. he sounds worse than chef wan man. he can really drag his voice. seriously. esp during those times when they were having lucky draw, walau... feel like grabbing the microphone and stuff it in his mouth. =P he went like

"Dannnnnnnnnnnnn nombornya adalahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... kosong tujuh tigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

and when the person is on the way up the stage, he goes

"itulah diaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*still walking*aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*almost reaching d stage*aaaaaaaaaaa*few more steps*aaaaaaa..."

irritating to the max... eeesshh. and still u see people laughing at his superly lame jokes that i think its so not funny. maybe the guests are pretty drunk after the beers so they'll practically laugh at anything.

we finished quite early at about 1030 pm. off to klcc we go! me and janna n eileen were so hungry! we were walking around outside klcc screaming at each other for food. passed by san fran, no way too expensive all though i just got my pay. then next was star bucks, dowan not worth it, sucky food. janna wanted to go dome and so we went. but the server told us the kicthens closed and they only served coffee and cakes. sighs. finally we went to gloria jeans instead. then stupid kiver went to burger king and bought burgers instead. man, if i could safe cash i would lah. never tell us pulak. =P but still gloris jeans ice blended rocks! yummy! 100x better than starbucks le.

had a great weekend! over and out~

hectic days~

2006-11-10T09:02:00.000+08:00

wow! these few days, im like in this working frenzy mode. haha... the first was this wedding banquet dinner at sucky sunway hotel (only rm5 per hour -.-) next was also a wedding dinner at Mandarin Oriental KL(this one better, rm6 per hour hehe =D) followed by a buffet dinner in Tamarind Springs for 3 days in a row, Mon to Fri (this one is rm8.50 per hour!! XD) lastly this sunday at KL convention center for rm7 per hour heee=)

frankly im not very sure why i signed up for all of this. maybe its because of the money and the experience. but i think mostly is because i get to spend time with my friends. we'll just hang out chill out together after working which is really really fun! haha... i felt really great these few days hanging out with them, they're a bunch of great people. really. haha...

so am i gonna be like so loaded with cash?? the answer... not really. =( cos my mom just told me to give her 30% of the pay of ever job i go to. she wanna save for me but ah... all the plans i had... all the things i wanna spend on... sighs... but i suppose its a good thing also lah to help me control my spendings, make sure i dun over-spend and all that crap... heee...

had a great time yesterday at pyramid. we had lunch at Tony Roma's! such a cool place wei! its similar to Fridays's but i think the steaks there are better and oooh the cocktail! they have stuff like chocolate martini and strawberry cheesecake martini or something like that haha... damn chun wei! amazing stuff! then after we've finish our main course the server's brought a cake with a candle on it! AHHHH!! my birthday and wanli's too! heheheh... actually i knew they were celebrating it but i didnt know they actually bought a cake! man, u guys rock lah... XD so we sang the song, cut the cake and of course ate it! hehehe it was a cappucino cream flavour i guess. at least that was what i tasted le...

went for bowling later. played 2 games. i got the highest for both =D muahaha... i got 135 for the first game and 156 for the second. was suppose to watch the departed but nobody wanted to so whitni suggested we go bowling instead. yes, she was there and she lost to me! hahaha!! chinling went like "is there a time when u guys dont compete?!" i guess its just one of those things siblings have among each other. no matter what we always try to set higher goals and outdo each other =P and erm have fun at the same time? lol....

over and out*

the banquet~

2006-10-26T17:33:00.000+08:00

Got a job at a banquet dinner last saturday in Sunway Hotel. It was my first and probably last time wokring in a chinese wedding banquet cos my dad had to come pick me up at about 1 am in the morning, something he doesnt wanna do after a long hard day playing golf . he was really pissed about it cos i actually told him it'll end at around 11 smth to 12. =.="

IT IS A BLOODY TERRIBLE JOB!
never ever sign up for anything like this unless you are really low on cash and really really desperate for the money.

yes, one of the reasons was money. heck, they were paying rm5 per hour. so why not right? but more importantly i went for the experience. yes, i am after all in the hospitality industry righttt... hehe...

so 15 of us went at 11, and we waited till 1.30 to register and get our uniforms. I REPEAT REGISTER!!! NOT START WORK ALSO! damn stupid man! we're sweating and dehydrating outside in the stinky hot carpark cos that is where they told us to wait... sighs... lousy place!

got our uniforms later and begin training/work. ate at the cafeteria at 4.30, they only gave us half an hour and at 5 sharp is back to the ballroomm for mis-en-place. one thing's for sure, i wore the wrong shoes dat day. they were rubbing my skin raw. ouch! every step i take is torture, it's as if they force me to walk in those burning charcoal like how they torture ppl in the olden days... lucky my feet wasnt bleeding or swollen when i goy back.

every server was in charge of a table and i got table 8, it was in the first row. pretty near the VIP's table. hehe... the ppl at my table were mostly the kong-kong and po-po age group who just stare at the food and drank oodles amount of red wine till their faced redder than tobasco sauce. some of my friends got some pretty drunken ppl. kept ordering 3 glasses of beer a time. poor janna... haha... and another one had 2 young boys sitting at their table who kept running everywhere, interupting the service. lol...

funny thing is that i didnt even notice/see the bride and groom when they enter the ballroom... haha... only got a glimpse of them when i was serving the dessert... heee...

my pay = rm53.50

sucky sunway... bluff people wan... say rm5 per hour and i work 12 hours but only get this much! come to think of it we work more than 12 hous leh... where is my remaining rm6.50 ar...!!? ish...

well, like i said its not the money but the experience right ! LOL...

shopping spree here i come! 1 U here i come! XD

#over and out

another day another birdshit

2006-10-08T14:23:00.000+08:00

damn...

so freaking pissed now, few drops of bird shit just conveniently landed on my car's windscreen. after my dad got his brand new rexton i had to park my dear Ford outside under the tree. dunno why all the bloody crows or other birds cannot hinggap on other tree, they must come to this tree!!! argh... feel like screaming my head off!!!!!! then if my head really came off, my headache would be gone too.

another stressful matter would be my english essay. Ms Pam is quite picky, she only wants INTERESTING topics. so the only problem is to find out what would be her definiton of INTERESTING. Though i already got my topic but its rather difficult to put in in words and even more difficult to present it without using technical terms. Avoid jargon she says. My topic : Stem cell controversy. Sure got some medical or biology terms right... :(

bah! im still mad about the birdshit. spoil my mood only... ish.

over and out.

2006-09-28T20:38:00.000+08:00

Hols...

are...

ENDING!

YAY!

cant wait to get back to my previous stressful and over-worked life! (*.*)
nolerr... its just the simple fact that im dying from boredom at home.
went skating that yesterday. it was so fun! haha... well, for one thing it was FREE! and i only fell twice. though my pants were almost soaking wet and the skates were rubbing my ankle raw, i continued skating=)
after skating we went to grab some lunch at A&W. i ate the ice-cream waffle and rootbeer float! yummy! then i went "hunting" for my outfit for Taylor's anual dinner and dance. The dress code obviously was formal but restricted to 3 colours only leh. white, gold and silver. damn hard to find so i opted for white. easiest among the lot.
i walked through the whole shopping mall like 3 times!!! and what did i find!? NOTHING! well, i did try on a coupla dresses here and there.. but not luck, either it was beyond, and i mean way beyond my budget (like the topshop dress, rm199! but it was soo nice=P) or it was just not my style=(
so, i was frustrated, annoyed, dissapointed. ah, then janna suggested we go try our luck at subang parade. clever girl! (^.^) hehe... so we walked and walked and walked till i had to lean against a pillar to massage my feet. oww... then i found the most suitable dress ever! at Blook!
YAY! problem solved =D and i found the shoes too at Voir.
no, i didnt buy cos i didnt have enough cash on me :P so i went back there today with my mom and bought both the dress and shoes XD ahhh... problem solved! oooh... i love subang parade!

me=happy girl XD

p/s : if u're at subang parade and if u did spend ur money on anything there go to the information counter and join "Shop for Your School". Support! Support! Support!

timetable

2006-09-23T20:07:00.000+08:00

ahhh...term 3 timetable's out. i think.... i think im looking forward to it =)

well, for one thing, we have wednesdays OFF !!! heee... XD

okay here are the subs...

as usual we have kicthen practical, the lecturer's Chef Chong. hmm... dont really fancy him, cos he very,uh, mafan? nolarr... maybe abit the too much particular?? im not sure i want back Chef Pat or not cos he'd probly fail me again =( i think Chef Tan is the nicest one so far =D but like he said everyone has their own unique method of teaching...
next would be restaurant practicals, lecturer's Mr Bertrand. yes yes yes!! he's a French guy =P honestly i wanna have Ms Chen. She's been our lecturer for the past 2 terms already so i guess its high time for us to get someone new, just for the sake of a change...
yes, its Ms Charmaine again for front office practicals. i think we're like stuck to her. hehehe... no, i dont mean it in a bad way, she's a really nice and dedicated lecturer, but sometimes, just sometimes she can be abit of a bore. oops!
one of my favourite subjects, house keeping practicals! i got Ms Zulyda or Ms Zuly or Ms Z or Ms Assessment cos every class also got assessment..... She's a nice lecturer but sometimes a bit stern. But, i rather have Ms Anna cos she's so quirky and hilarious and super sarcastic and yeah, super garang as well. u can hardly tell whether she's being serious or not. XD we can all go crazy in that housekeeping suite! XD
there are also some theory subjects like the one with Mr Daniel and Ms Hema. cant remember what they teach though (*-*)
other additional and new subs are like satistics and english!? for english, i got exempted for the past 2 terms but i guess i cant escape this one XD and that makes 2 new lecturers Ms Chao for satistics and Ms Pam for english... dread writing essays... (-_-)

ohyah, i watched THE BANQUET the other day! damn nice leh!!!

In the prince's own words : She is six parts arrogance, three parts disquiet and one part guilt.

Prince WuLuan is played by Daniel Wu. so good-looking. though my mom said he looks quite sissy... (o.0) so not! =P
Zhang Zhi Yi plays Empress Wan. yes, she is damn impressive. oooohhh... and i love her costumeS too! i really liked the white one she wore at the begining of the movie.
then we have Zhou Xun who plays Qing Nu who is terribly in love with the prince. i think she's not bad, she protrays her character well. innocence, fair and the whole package.
we got Ge You, Emperor Li the usurper. killed his bro the emperor to get the throne and also the empress. he's madly in love with her. so touching leh... *sniff* *sniff*
ahhh... we also got Huang Xiao Ming palying Jeneral Yin, Qing Nu's brother. another quite good-looking actor XD very very nice. heeee=)

maybe i shall buy the DVD since they cut so many parts out!!! so unfair leh!!! *ISH* eh, i dont mean the sex scenes k, there are some nice parts they go and cut also! *hmpf*

its quite a lavish movie. go see it if u can ;)

i want the new Apple iPod nano =)) but its like, more expensive than my bike =(

days~

2006-09-21T13:23:00.000+08:00

went to chinling's hse (all the way in Klang!!!) for potluck, had a great time, ate alot. alot. alot. alot. then, me, janna, sam and jr was supposed to go the pasar malam behind the 3K building but it was RAINING! so we went to pyramid instead. just went there to kill time, we really had nothing to do there, walking around aimlessly...

oh, i saw kavi there too. sitting at the fountain near miss selfridge with some guy! ooohh... what have you been up to girl?? XD she looked kinda shocked to see me, well, dats most probably because i whacked her from behind heee.... =D went to cinnabon after dat eat talk drink talk and talked some more... back to C7.

played 2 rounds of foosball courtesy of me and janna. when we were bored, we played pool instead... honestly, its such an addictive game leh. actually i dun really like that place but dat night not so many people so less cigarette smoke, felt much better. sometimes it feels as if u cant breath properly inside there and once you go in your clothes will have the "stench" as well...

was supposed to go work at some sime darby convention in kl. they were paying rm5 per hour. i really need the money cos i need to get myself a new wallet. but shit happens and i didnt get to go for the job. damn pissed... stuck at home instead >:(

but at least today wasnt as unproductive as yesterday. went to get my license from jpj in padang jawa. still 2 more years before i can tear the plastic P sign off my windscreen... but im real happy today cos finally after soooo long i going out for a movie. its been ages, i tell you, since i wacthed a movie. the last one was pirates! even my mom watched the click with my sis. sighs... im like so behind, used to be a movie freak once...

well, im gonna have a great time tonight in pyramid again. that place is seriously becoming my second home now. gonna have bbq steamboat for dinner XD

2006-09-18T12:58:00.000+08:00

went to pick my brother up from kinderland. guess what!?

he'll be playing the big bad wolf in little red riding hood!

it costs a freaking 80 bucks...

his im-here-to-pounce-and-eat-u-up pose

his look-at-my-cute-lil-tail pose

his c'mon-wat-are-u-not-telling-me look

he is ONE of the 5 big bad wolves. didnt know there could be so many, imagine how many little red riding hood... (o.O)

this angelic looking little rascal just vomitted on me this afternoon. we're the only 2 sick people in the house. sad...

currently reading : To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

bored on a sunday...

2006-09-17T12:59:00.000+08:00

condition : unwell

just came back from some grocery shopping at Carrefour. Damn sleepy now cos i just took my meds with the sticker pasted on it saying

Caution - This may cause drowsiness if affected.

but anyhoo, im still wanna do the tag from kim =D

10 years ago I...
- was quite tall for my age
- still had short hair *dont think anyone has ever seen me in long hair before XD*

Term Break - Day 1

2006-09-15T22:53:00.000+08:00

Condition : Horribly Sick

This sucks. 1st day of term break and i cant even go anywhere to enjoy myself. Came back yesterday from the car workshop after sending my car to repair cos i got into an accident. Some indian guy bang me from the back. the bumper was abit senget. it was raining and i got abit wet. that was all that is needed to give the fever. the moment i reached home, i crashed into my bed. it was about 4 smth. i woke up at about 8+ and went to the toilet. Felt super dizzy and yeah, vomitted. Cant even hold my head upright.

I really hate to go to clinics or even see the doc. but sighs, i was feeling like shit so, my mom sorta like drag me there. when i got there, man, bloody hell, so many people leh. gotta wait like 5 more peeps only my turn. then after that, had to wait for the medicine some more. can hear the nurses chit chatting in there. dunno what the hell they doing inside.

I felt hot and cold at the same time. head and body was burning hot. hands and legs were freezing cold. felt so terrible... :( plus, my throat was so sore. even a simple task to swallow my saliva, it hurts like hell. argh... cant even talk properly...

then my dad came back and he bought all those really nice mouth-watering food but so unhealthy. had to watch my family munch away while i sat there watching them in self-pity. sad... sad... sad...

woke up today still down with fever. had to swallow like 4 different types of pills. one's yellow, one's orange, one's light blue and the antibiotic one is maroon and grey. not forgetting the cough syrup. :'( its making my throat feel even worse.

i hate being sick.
i hate seeing the doctor.
i hate the clinic.
i hate jabs.
i hate myself right now.

miserable~

i.dont.like.this.

2006-09-12T22:20:00.000+08:00

its been ages since i put in this much effort or studied so hard for something.
honestly speaking, going into this course i didnt thinked? that i need to put in loads and loads of effort or to become extremely hard-working to get great results. dont get me wrong, im not insulting my fellow course-mates. they're not shallow or anything. its just me and one of my random thoughts. the point is, its not about my college mates being overly competitive or anything of that sort, i kinda realise now *embarassed* that it's not such an easy course after all.

yes yes yes, i know. they've told us from the begining before. being the bitch that i am, i chose to ignore it and just take it easy till i reach my degree year. but, yes, now that i've "realised" or seen the clearer picture after wipping the bird shit of my window, i really do hope its not too late. cos, uh, my exam is like tomorrow and im not freaking done studying the bloody text book. if you're wondering whether i am worrying my ass off or not, i'd be lying if i said no. so, yup, im kinda like struggling now... cos i havent studied this hard for anything since like last year and that was for SPM. no one can help me now =(

should i burnt the midnight oil and be in risk of getting terribly horrible eye bags tomorrow?

*finding for the pelita.......

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

btw, i really like this movie that i've watched this afternoon [Imaginary Heroes] i think that if you like American Beauty, you'll like this one.
and i really really really want to read this book [The Devil Wears Prada] i know the movie's coming out but i wanna read it first! anyone?

summary - day 2

2006-09-12T12:55:00.000+08:00

just came back from college (time1251)

gonna study at (time1330)

*i hope*

seriously...

no... mood...

to study....

at all...

the papers for day 1 was - food science and sanitation , business maths

overall for me, i think both the papers was pretty enjoyable to do. the moment i said this in front of chinling and janna, i got back those hideous stares that i thought only witches could give :P the only distraction i had during maths paper was chef patrick. he was one of the invigilators for the paper. he kept staring at my paper as if i'm doing smth wrong lidat. so hard for me to concentrate lah... aiyo... then i just quickly finish it and left the hall. kno' what? i was the first one to leave the hall. the moment i got up from my seat to get my bag, hundreds of incredulous expressions stare back at me. hahahaha... me? just smile and walked out =P

today was LAN (moral studies) = total boredom + pure torture

this subject is sooooo pointless. just another stupid idoitic scheme by the education minstry to make our lives a living hell. the classes are so big, too many students=noise, cant even hear what the lecturer is crapping about. bah...

tmrw's oenology. two words = dead.meat.

okay, im stuck at home now. mom and whitni going to ikea while i'll be facing stuff like chardonnay, riesling, cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir. btw, they're grape names from France used to make one of the best wines in the world :P

good luck to me >.<

everyday

2006-09-10T17:47:00.000+08:00

this blog have been pretty dead for quite some time now, i noe. so here i am, blogging on the eve of my term 2 finals =P the previous weeks have been rather hectic for me. for one thing, i had loads of assessments to face. FOUR and three of it were on the same day.

i had FO practical assessment last friday.
ms charmaine's comment to me - you werent outstanding but not bad also, not that smooth either. man, i hate to be stuck in the middle. honestly speaking her comment didnt left my spirits up AT ALL.

next was accounting assessment (my greatest fear/weekness)
as expected, i didnt get to balance the bloody balance sheet. it was pure torture for me to sit there and not knowing what the hell i was doing while chinling passed up her paper so early with a smile on her face. -_-

lastly was food science and sanitation assessment. (i... uh, lets just say its not in my priority list to study subject)
so yeah, i was the 2nd one to leave the classroom. nearly slept half way doing the paper, then chinling started poking me so i woke up and finished the remaining quarter of the freaking paper. ah, forgot to mention she found my mis-placed paper, my lecturer that is. the scribling of marks on the top of my paper went from :-
30/30 to 32/30 to 28/30
man, i was so bloody pissed off, i just walked put of the classroom after handing in my paper. where got people like that wan!? lecturer some more !!? *ish* so clearly lah she re-marked my paper. some of my answer that were so obviously correct also she minus mark! ....... *fuming*

besides shitty food science, it was SAM'S BIRTHDAY !!! it was actually on sept 7, thurs. but all of went fot buffet steamboat on friday night. one of the best nights ever for me !! i was so stuffed till i couldnt get up or move for even an inch. hahaha... had loads of laughs thanks to chinling and nick. hilarious people. and we bought for her a body glove bag, which i totally fell in love with and wished i had one too ;) but the main issue here was that she actually liked it. she so damn picky till it gets on my nerves sometimes XD

moving on to saturday, we had this so-called group study lah. at A&W near the amcorp mall one. kononnya can study there wor... terrible place..! wasted about 1 hour waiting for nick to fetch us and another 2 to find the right place to study since our college's library was closed that day. wanted to go for movie later, but my dad called me to"TELL" me to get my ass home by 0430 or there'll be loads of questioning later *not something that i enjoy*

the moment i reached home, he gave me that stare of his. clearly he's pissed at me.

according to him, i've been going out to often and that i should lessen my activities.

going out ? often !? activities !?? since when lah!!!!???

must be my mom lah, reporting false accusations about me to him. during dinner that night, he questioned me lorr. inevitable, i know. ask me this, ask me that. where u go ? with who ? for what ? what time go ? what time come back ?

"make sure you inform us...blah blah blah... must be giving you too much allowance already..."

my muka damn masam through out the whole dinner lah. sighs... ruin my mood only.

guess i better stay home for a coupla days just to please my dad. then after term test.... *smirks* heee.... enjoy!! its been ages since i have gone out for movies... *sad* i think the last one i watched was pirates noe... so long ady... dats it ive decided! my next movie would be the devil wears prada. most anticipated show for me!

FRIENDS !!! take note, i'll need temanS! =P

over and out ~

it's just not my thing

2006-09-02T23:22:00.000+08:00

shortest and most depressing post -

there's a reason for everything.

there's a reason why i chose to take pure-science class instead of sub.

there's a reason why i thought i chose this course.

there's a reason why i got, like, 36/50

cause i hate accounts.

cause i cant do accounts.

i just cant.

i suck at it. terribly=(

and now what i am i doing ?

studying for accounts exam...

*cries*

can someone just take me away from all this??

- sighs -

I'M JUST NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS !

......

2006-08-30T23:32:00.000+08:00

im too lazy to blog about what happened today... (-_-) ....

so i'll just talk about what i felt today ...
~ irritated at things that people say to me
[ honestly im not easily irritated, as in like maybe certain things that you do or words that you say, do annoy me but after a while i'll just forget about it. but when i get irritated is when its been happening for quite some time now ]

~ worried
[ im always worried, being in this course and having the stupid programme which is continuous assessment, meaning dat every single week you'll have to take assessmentS ]

~ satisfied
[ i bought a new pink tank top today from PA at 50%, i dunno why, but currently i just love tank tops ]
[ i met 3 of my high school friends in pyramid today ]
[ i just watched Ouran High School Host Club ]
[ cos janna belanja-ed me a B&R brownies sundae today ]

~ happy
[ cos tmrw's a hol, sometimes its just feels good to know that you can take a break once in a while from your daily-routined life and do something else ]

~ surprised, shocked?, embarassed...
[ something happened during oenology class which made everyone looked and LAUGHED at me (o.O) all i can say is that mr patrick really has an amazing memory to have remember that i said rm9000 cos i didnt remember ]

~ glad
[ no more assessments for the week... ]
[ tmrw going out with mom for some little shopping XD ]
[ glad cos life, now, for me is still alright and that i still manage to go through each passing day with great friends ]

so how do you feel today~?

a blink of an eye

2006-08-29T20:48:00.000+08:00

gee, how time flies, in a week or so, i'll be sitting for my end of term test. 3 months just flew by like that. this monday was our last restaurant practical class with our quirky lecturer ms chen XD man, she was extra strict that day on purpose, she said it herself wan. only because its the last class and maybe cos she just felt lke giving zeros after so long =P
anyway, i was the bartender and im so lovin it. it's so fun!!! and so relaxing but there's just one part i hate where i've gotta stand for like more than 6 hours ++ my feet like turn to jelly edi...

btw its another one of our group's themed service as usual. it was the pirates theme this time and we were really into the piratey spirit. we had name tags made with pirate skulls as pictures. a treasure chest made with coconut shells and gold chocolate coins inside. we also had menu written on faded-parchment-like paper with burnt edges and we even named our mocktail "walk the plank" !

it was really one of our greatest service. i enjoyed it tremendously. well, i think its only me cos ms chen being super strict that day, gave almost everyone got a ZERO for their table setup :(

then, before we left, we even gave her mooncakes, one from overseas, one from baker's cottage and one more from haagen daz with ice cream! damn yummy...........!!! though i didnt taste it but can imagine lah...heee.... =D

since term 2 ending, the people that i'll miss terribly -
~ the lecturers! (of course!)
ms chen - she's really one of a kind! and the most original! lol no one like her... though there are a few wannabes... *ahem* *ahem* ;)
chef pat - unique in his own ways =) though may appear intimidating at times and quite demotivating too XD
ms hema - she's really nice! she can also put up with our class which is like super noisy and wacky... at times ;)
ms anna - oh! where to begin?! coolest lecturer i've ever met. she speaks her mind which is why she rock! and not to mention her sarcasm... (o.O)

things that i dont miss and dont look forward to -

ACCOUNTS !!!

AND MORE ACCOUNTS !!!

things that i look forward too -
~ learning & experience new things *obviously =P*
~ meet MORE new ppl who i hope will eventually become good friends of mine =D in future
~ new subjects! if got lah... uh, actually i dunno havent really check the timetable yet (^.^)
~ classroom 7... haha.. dunno why i mentioned this.. is it dat weird seeing me there ah..? im not all that studious noe... *ish* :D looking forward to a new hang out place and also the foos but of course =P
~ it may sound too soon but, INDUSTRIAL TRAINING i cant wait !!! its after term 3 only which is like 3 more months! yuhoo...!! *woot*

it's pretty late now, so i'll end it here!

nitez and pleasant dreasm to all...! XD

2006-08-18T20:17:00.000+08:00

the next restaurant practical service would be in two weeks time and that means we have to figure out a new theme for our deco!! this is so much fun to do!! ahahaha... im so bloody excited leh XD
happy to announce that we have came out with a theme.

we'll be doing a PIRATES THEME !!!!!!

the process on how we came to this theme :

starting - merdeka *ewww... no idea on how we're going to pull it off on the first place*

next - under the sea *lotsa work.... and we do have a budget*

next - beach *hmmm... coconuts anyone?*

next - carribean-johnny depp-PIRATES!!

it's gonna be spectacular!! we've got treasure chest and name tags with skull and gold coins and a mocktail named "walk the plank" to get into the piratey spirit, savvy?? =D

p/s : i made the mocktail.... eheheh... :P

and there's another reason im so incredibly cheerful right now, as if i'm a balloon and i just want to burst and spread my happiness! lolz...

over and out

knock knock house keeping!

2006-08-17T20:54:00.000+08:00

had house keeping class today and this could only mean 2 things

FUN & LAUGHTER

maybe it was the lecturer (ms anna) who is really quite abit wacky herself or perhaps it just us, probably because all 15 of us were cramped into a house keeping suite room. so that turns almost all of us into the sam-pat and saiko mood.

anyways, we were quite serious today cos, yeah, we've got assessment! and i got damn nervous , i tell you. was shaking all over and i kept grabbing sam's hand to calm myself down. luckily she was not freaked out by that. i was kinda nervous cos we didnt know what we would be tested on, it was either trolley packing or bathroom cleaning.

ms anna would be holding out few strips of paper and you would have to pick one out and your assessment would be written at the back. aaaaand..... i got............... bathroom cleaning. overall, it didnt went as bad, i suppose and neither did it went as well as i wanted it to be.

see right, its so unfair noe... *ish* im so tak puas lah.

after im done presenting, she was like "see class, she's good,she manage to remember.."
and in my head i was like "ok good, im satisfied, you can just about end now and stop here.."

then suddenly *turning to face me* "but i'll tell you something you missed, you forgot to mention how many towels to replace"
me : "OH! *hehe* its 2 bath towels, 2 ...."
ms anna said "nope, too late!"
man, the look on my face as if someone just slapped me. *sad sad sad*

so i went back and sat down. then suddenly ong came and whispered to me and at the same bloody time! ms anna looked at our direction!
ms anna : ong, what you doing??? gossiping ar...? *smirks*
ong : hah!? nola....
ms anna : tell me lah, what is it...*although it sounds so jokingly but she was dead serious*
so ong had to tell,
ong : oh, uh... she missed a step...
me *looks away* silently muttering...
ms anna : what is it ?
ong *silence* cos i stared at him...
ms anna : i give you one moment then you tell me!
ong : uh...er... she forgot to say mop the floor....
me *inside screaming : die die die!!!*
ms anna : ohyah! ok, alright.
and she so obviously turns her back at us and made a mark at my name !!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
AHHHHHHH!!!
AHHHH!!
AH!!
although i know it was entirely my fault for not studying hard enough to have said the 2 words - MOP FLOOR i still couldnt help feeling the way im feeling right now!!! i could have gotten away by this close *shows thumb and index finger almost touching*

SIGHS.......................................................................

what's done is done,

phew

2006-08-11T21:44:00.001+08:00

i just spilled like a quater of a glass of apple grape juice on the monitor and the mouse also! a lil bit on my dad's shirt also cos he was sitting beside me.
no, dont get the wrong idea, my dad doesnt sit beside me when i chat, it's just that he wanted me to check something on the net for him.

i panicked like hell. the monitor started flashing on and off! then suddenly it just went off! my heart nearly skipped a beat. then i look from the monitor to my dad who gave me "the look" to tell me "shen ni, if anything happen...." i looked away, back to computer silently mutttering pleading it turn back on..!

WAH! thank goodness it DID! *relieved sighs* i'll die if anything happen to the computer, not now when it's so important to me !!!

glad thats over, i got back the results to my accounts assessment today. damn sucky although i didnt fail. 36/50 lousy huh? [btw, to pass u have to get more than half of the full mark]
4 peeps got full marks leh.

but then again they took accounts when they were in high school [i didnt!]! and, and! i got the hardest set among the 5 sets that ms vivi gave out! HAH! see lah! =P

alright, alright, im just giving excuses to make myself feel less terrible. [vain attempt thou...] still, im feeling really bad... cos i've gotta mantain my grades, i cant afford to slack now...
*sighs* the pressure is back on... (-_-)

anyhoo, weekends tmrw! and i've got a BBQ party on saturday night to attend! so looking forward to dat!!! heee... XD my cousin's birthday party! hmm... wat to get her ah?? she's only 7 plus... what do kids her age fancy? barbies are so over...

well, i gotta go shop for her lil prezzie tmrw so dat means waking up early meaning i'll end it here***

over and out~

moderate, can't have expected it to be splendid...

2006-08-07T21:52:00.000+08:00

note : this post is all about my kicthen practical class.
woke up this morning to discover that all my kicthen uniform wasn't ironed, so i had to iron it!! darn it!!
everything from the chef jacket and black slacks n kitchen apron n chef scarf to the chef hat. and also the blouse that i have to change later after class.

reached college at about 0830 and class by 0850. all 6 of us went in together. saw andy [he's always the earliest] ong, nicholas and azahar! our dearly [was about to say beloved but i guess it doesnt sound right, haha =P so i'll just stick to dearly] class rep is BACK! after few weeks in the hospital! had some problem with his tonsils, thank god no need to go for op. u know, in hosp, they have the drip thingy, where they use the needle to poke at the back of ur hand. azahar said the stupid nurse went and put the needle at the wrong place and some more keep twisting the needle cos she wanted to find the vein... hahaha... he was cursing her like hell.. LOL i would too lah! hehe =D

anyway by 0905 sharp! chef patrick came in. then, this janna said to wanli and chinling,
"oh...uh, class start already"
*both of them, deep breath* "yeah..."
"may god be with us..."
"yeap, amen..."
he was right behind them when she said that! hahaha... and he just smiled and started taking attendance.

few minutes later, about 0908, the two guys [who're famous for either MIA or fashionable late] came in, they walked towards chef pat and he was like,
"what time is it now!? you are late, get out of my class."
and they just went out and we were like (O.O) wahh... ok...

AND GUESS WHAT!? he didnt ask us questions!! wahhh... the look on our faces like chinese new year is tmrw! btw its only 10 people there when it was supposed to be 15, so i guess no fun for him la , only get to torment so few people he'll want to wait for the whole group then, which is next 2 weeks! muahaha...

afterwards, we proceed with cooking, by then it was 0925 and he wanted us to finish everything [as in the starter and half the preparation n cooking for the m/c] before he showed us how to cut a whole chicken into 8 pieces.
chef pat asked us, "until what time?"
and then i so quietly mumbled, "11 o'clock..?"
"NO. too long." he barked back at me.
in the end, wanli said 1030 and we [well, actually him only] agreed on dat.

so off to work. we marched back to out work stations so quietly and orderly like a bunch of red ants. i was peeling and deseeding the tomatoes when he passed by me and sam's place.
chef pat looked over at me, "is dat how you peel your tomatoes?"
me : look at the pot of water with tomatoes inside and back at him with the blurr-est look on my face
he walked to the next station
me : resume previous activity which is making the carbonara sauce
suddenly! he looks at me saying, "take the pot of the stove now or i'll throw it at your face!"
me : PANICKING!!! drops thw whisk i was holding a minute ago and removed the pot from the fire.
honestly, dat time, his face with that stare, damn super-kau garang, almost had me in tears if i hadnt looked away and faced sam. *takes very very very deep breath*

now comes the chicken cutting part, which i absolutely dread. one whole partially frozen chicken per person. he only showed us once! and it was back to our respective station to do it! waa.... aiyo, i cant remember lah!
after cutting the thigh and drumstick then what...?
how to remove the back bone!?
the black black thing stuck there must take out or not??
where's the joint!? *in my head : he said something about cutting through the bone joint, but which one !!??*

luckily lah, today his mood quite pleasant XD im so thankful for that!
later he went out and left us in the kicthen, me and wanli were STARVING LIKE HELL!! sighs, i was the one who had to ask him whether we can eat or not? mustering up my confidence and choosing my words carefully, i said,
"sir, can we take a break?"
and he said o-k-a-y !
walking back to the our station, i saw the rest of my group mates already munching away... *swt*

everything went rather smoothly from then on, cehf pat even gave us some of his own-made ORIGINAL and FRENCH marshmallow which he made! so chewy yummy and spongy!! *thumbs up* =D

after all the washing and cleaning up dat has been done, we were allowed to leave. FINALLY!!! AFTER 6 HOURS OF STANDING AND BRIEFLY LEANING ON THE COUNTER FOR A COUPLE OF BREIF MOMENTS FOR SUPPORT! i can feel my ass and legs sinking into the chair when i sat down later. LAN class later that afternoon was a total and complete bore. nothing, i repeat nothing in that class ever benefits me, except the company of my friends dat keeps me awake.

~all's well that ends well~ or smth like dat :P

bracelets galore!

2006-08-06T13:38:00.000+08:00

2006-08-03T23:11:00.000+08:00

there's only 1 assessment today and it's the house keeping assessment!

BED MAKING IN 10 MINUTES!

AND I DID IT IN 5 MINS 40 SEC ! YUHOO!!! YAY!! YIPPEE!!

though, sadly i wasnt the best time. i was the second best in my group. there's this girl in group 7 according to miss anna, she did it in 4 mins. walaueh... 4 mins... damn fast...! *jealousnya*

i'm really glad/relieved its over so i can worry about the next assessment which is trolley packing and bathroom cleaning. yes, i have to wash the bathroom, toilet bowl and all.

another thing to stress over about is...

ACCOUNTING EXAM !!!!

TOMORROW !!! ARGH, URGH, YUCK, NOOOOO....

haih, knew i would have to face it sooner or later. actually i thought i can escape maths but then i realise thanks to my math freako sister maths is everywhere! she's living in the same house as me!! so its unavoidable. then maybe i hoped/thought for the tinsiest moment that i could also say a long and permanent sayonara to accounts. but alas, no, my worst fears have to come back and haunt me again....and again, and again... *cries*
no choice larh... just take the bloody assessment and be done with it *cross fingers* wish me luck though i doubt it'll help much... maybe when i feel like it's supposed to be debit then suddenly my right hand icthy AH! petanda buruk, so maybe not debit after all... =D

anyway, ori night tomorrow and i'm going! yup, dats right! chinling lend me her jersey. thanks a bunch chinling *muaks* XD i'm gonna have a blast tmrw night! YAY!

Ori night!

went to college at 830 today for student council meeting. we have to help out for orientation night this friday. the theme's football fever, though the fever is long gone already. anyway, we have to wear jerseys, something which i dont have in my cupboard of clothes. =( esp student council members have to wear!! and we also cant substitute it with a plain T with a number on it. so now, im not sure whetehr i want to go or not. actually i want to cos my friend will be singing that night and i want to go see her perform but I DONT HAVE A JERSEY! >:(

today we've only one class which is oenology class with mr pat daya at 2 pm. it turns out the class was cancelled. so today no class and i came at 830. but anyway i didnt waste my time at college, i used the spare time to practise bed making at the house keeping suites. the girls have pack a single bed in 10 mins. the single bed consists of 1 bed spread, 3 bed sheets, 1 blanket, 1 matress pad and a pillow. honestly, u can burn calories and build muscles by doing this. it's so bloody tough. guys are worse. they have to pack a KING SIZE bed in 15 mins. so far my average time is 5-6 mins. hehe =D *damn bangga*

i stayed till 530 then went to sunway college to pick up whitni. poor girl, she got some kinda allergy according to the doctor. red patches like rashes all over her body. yuck. and itchy s'more. she have to put the white cream on them. ewww... but she still go to college. cheers for whitni..!

I'm going for dinner edi... some where nice i hope. and i also hope we can enjoy the dinner as a family and not have to get up from my seat countless times to catch my reckless lil bro and put him back to his seat. ciao.

over and out~

restaurant practical

2006-08-01T20:28:00.001+08:00

i had my restaurant practical class yesterday. i screwed up quite a number of times, here and there.
i arrived at college a few minutes early and went to the locker room to put my bags. later i found chinling looking like she's gonna puke, which she already did before she came to college. she was lying down on the bench looking real sick.
"how're you feeling...?"
"really bad lah, got headache, i vommited so many times already.."
*shit* she cant be sick! she's the bartender for goodness sake.
but sighs, who was i kidding, she cant come to a practical class like this that requires her to stand for 6 hours when she's feeling like hell. so, yup, no bartender.
later when she came to tell ms chen, nash went also cos, yeah, you've guess it right, she was sick also. 3 absentees in a practical class! every practical is 20 percent of total marks! haih, i dunno about them lah, but if it were me, i'll try my very best not to miss it.

so sam became the bartender. i tell u ar, that girl damn lucky. actually that day she got no guests for her service. no guests means zero la. so when teacher ask who wants to fill in chinling's spot, her hand shot up like a rocket. and u know what, surprisingly, she did a really great job. kudos to sam!! *cheers*

okay, so back to my service. guests start arriving at 1245 and by 1 i was getting really worried. my guests weren't here yet!! thank god, by 1310 they came *phew*

first mistake >>> menu presentation.
"Hi, my name is Shen Ni and i'll be your server for today. Today, we're having a 3 course meal. For starters, it will be Fettuccine Carbonara, it's a type of pasta with carbonara sauce. The sauce is made up of cheese, cream, eggs, black pepper and bacon. You guys all can take pork, right? *smiles*
Ms Chen : P-O-R-K!? What pork? It's a halah restaurant here, Shen Ni...
*damn freakin malu* "Oh! *pretend* really? I didnt know hehe..." *continues*
I swear I didnt know. I always thought it was from pigs, ceh. Now i know la..

second mistake >>> bread dropping scene!
I was doing my bread and butter service. I have to serve bread with a service gear. (a fork and spoon) Damn wobbly already. When i was serving my third bread, it FELL!!!!!!! ON THE FLOOR!!!!! panic man!! code red code red! first thing i did was to look around, ok, coast is clear, lecturer not in sight. secondly, pick up the damn bloody bread. i tried picking it up with my service gear then i was shit, cannot damn dirty! aiyah, what the heck, i went and serve my fourth bread then ran in back to the kicthen to grab another one. *sighs* i'm still worried. maybe she did see me... :( so how?

third mistake >>> tea time...
before ending service we have to serve tea to the guests. bloody... im so pissed with myself for this mistake cos she actually stood beside me and saw me made it!!! i served the tea on the LEFT HAND SIDE when its supposed to be served ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE!!! *cries* sad lah... Later after class she commented that "some people" still dont know how to serve on the right side... *keeping a straight face*

fourth >>> mocktails!
well, this is not actually a mistake but it got me extremely pissed off cos it kinda like happened to me only. that day, we had mocktail of the day, L'rite which is made of up lychee, sprite and lime. Thank god, my guests ordered, 4 some more! hehe.. i was so glad. If your guests didnt order any drinks, you'll lose marks. sad huh? So anyway, when i went to collect my drinks, sam told me got no more cos she ran out of glasses! i was like :o WTH!!!! how come!? omg, wat am i supposed to tell my guests!!?? we're supposed to serve drinks first then only proceed with food. because of this incident, my service abit kelam kabut. GRRR!!! i ended up serving my guests' mocktail after the main course. abit weird la, suddenly they saw me serving them drinks after so long, they didnt even have time to finish it. but it was a nice drink though :P

missed b'fast and lunch yesterday. dman sucky n tired. but alas, its over. woudlnt have to face that again till 2 more weeks. =D before i hit the covers i have to study for oenology so,

There's gonna be a bowling competition in my college. It costs 5 bucks to enter and the prize is a trophy and a

100 BUCKS !!!!!!

omg, i so want slash need the money! there's the sale going on now, its driving me mad cos i'm not able to go out and shop and there's this marie claire shoes i saw in bata the other day! it was so nice and more importantly so comfy..! i so gotta win this competition lah. but sadly aint that easy i guess, there are also some good bowlers in my college, weslley for example. wish me luck and Gambate!! =)

another thing is that sam said i need a serious make over. she said my hairstyle sucked, well, she didnt really say sucked but i kinda get the impression that she meant it that way so she asked me to keep long hair. but, aiyo, why lah, its malaysia and its so freakin' hot every stinkin' day. But u know what, i just might do it for appearance sake. hehe =P image is everything. EVERYTHING! yah, so vain i noe =)

and now, i have to study everyday, cos mr pat daya said that he wont tell us when he'll be having an assessment. but i think its better now that he tells us that he not going to tell us when he's having the test so at least now we can sorta like predict? / guess? / estimate? / agak-agak lah when is he most likely to give us the test. but i would say he's so uh, eccentric maybe? cos he's such a funny, weird, wacky, hilarious, and witty lecturer. it's a good thing that he's the way he is now cos when you teach such a boring subject like oenology (the history of wines) you'll really need some one like him to be your lecturer. plus, he even took the time and effort to plan for us a "wine and dine" dinner at one of the hotels in KL. we'll be able to taste and learn about wine when dining. unfortunately, the price not that nice lah, i really wanna go but not sure whether dad will allow or not. if i'm not mistaken he said the price was about RM138 lehh, for a 6-course dinner and 2 bottles of wine (one red and one white) and i wanna buy a dress also for that night. ehehe... (^.^)

ok, as there's nothing more to update i'll end it here and resume my activity before this which is studying for the food science pop quiz tomorrow. chao.

There's no such thing as "fun for the whole family"

2006-07-24T19:27:00.000+08:00

My weekend went off rather bad. Got a few scoldings+lecture from my dad. *ish* He's quite bad mood nowadays. Only god knows why. We went to this place in Klang to eat and my lil bro made a mess out of himself and it got my dad all pissed off about it. Then, he just starts picking at me and my sis on anything that comes to his mind. *sighs* so unhappy. In my family we can NEVER go out all together and have a great time, there's always something thats bound to come up and reck everything. (-_-)

Anyway, today is Monday and boy, do i HATE MONDAYS. Especially mondays with kitchen practical class with none other than the devil himself, Chef Patrick SIAU. yeap, to me, he is abit the, uh, siau siau one.
Monday is cursed to be a bad day for me.
[1] I was having this wonderfully awesome dream (no,im not gonna tell what or who is it about :P) so when my alarm buzzed i switched it off for a while. When i woke up, shit 07:28, bloody... late edi larh... I was supposed to leave the house at 07:45 u noe, to avoid the jam.
[2] Once i was ready to leave the house at about 07:50-ish, I couldn't find my kicthen shoes!!! OMG, I panicked like hell was gonna breaklose. I was searching frantically up to every corner of the house. Last resort, ASK MUM. U noe, whenever i lose something i'll never ask my mom because I knew exactly what her reply would be. But sometimes on those rare ocassion, she might know where my lost-stuff are. Let me tell you this, this wasnt one of those rare ocassion that's for sure, cos, after a brief answer "NO." she replied,

> I DUNNO, I didnt TAKE it.
> See lar... always do things last minute,
> Next time, be more careful lah...

Me > just walks away..... (=.=) *ish*

[3] During our briefing in the kicthen, Chef Pat always has a grooming check on us. To me, "show me ur nails" *stares at it for a while*................................"Go out and cut, I give you 5 minutes" =(

Thank god, later one of my friends got a nail clipper and i manage to get my nails cut. About the shoes also i was fortunate enough to have one of my friends from another group to lend me their shoes. *relief* If not, I had to wear my sneakers and I dont think Chef Pat would even let me take a step into the kicthen. I'm so glad that it didnt turn out as bad as i thought it would.

Later after the class, I ask the mak cik that jaga the locker room whether she got see any kicthen shoe or not? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnddd, she said YES!! omg, i nearly screamed out of joy. but aiyo, so stupid larh, i didnt even know whether the one she found was mine or not also, but still there might be a chance! ehehe...
AND it turned out to be RIGHT!! indeed it was mine, cos my socks was inside the shoe also.... YAY! so happy la, heee... i keep thanking the mak cik and she just smiled at me...

the rest of the day turned out to be alright even though it was the ever-boring Moral Studies class afterwards. We left the class with an assignment on our hands. The topic that i wanted was Pre-marital Sex or Sex before marriage. I SOOOOOOOO wanted that topic lah, i was the one who suggested it in the first place. But sadly I didnt stay back to pick the topic, i hope it's still available tomorrow. Ok, my dinner getting cold, so au revoir.

Over and out#

ahh... at last!

2006-07-22T15:36:00.000+08:00

i uninstalled my realplayer since i wont be using it anymore. *sighs* what a waste of space.
i so desperately wanna watch Ouran so i decided to take esther's advise to download some codec thingy to my WMP. i was abit doubtful at first cos i couldnt find the website to download it from.
later, when i found the webpage, i d/l it staright away without thinking twice... heehee... :D

AND THEN...

...

...

...

...

IT CAN BE VIEWED!!! *SMILING EAR TO EAR* :]

i saw all 4 episodes... im sooo HAPPY now! haha... erm, maybe not happy but more to satified. heee... but later it turns out that i'll be staying at home with my adorable+nasty lil brother and my dad while my 2 sisters and my mom would be going to the party *representing us*
okie, that's all...

student council

2006-07-22T12:13:00.000+08:00

that's right i've sign up for the student council at TCHT. at first i didnt want to cos we had to do lousy duties such as to "jaga" the MPH. just sit there and do nothing but baby sit the hall. but this time i had 2 reasons why i wanted to sign up for it.

no-1, i wanted to go for free for the annual dinner thingy organized by the college. its something like a prom, i guess. they said if u're a student council member and IF u HELP OUT, u MIGHT get free ticks. and tickets will go up to about a 100+ and there's no way im gonna pay that much so u can bet for sure i'll help out =P
no-2, other than this society/club, i didnt join anything else in TCHT. sad huh? :( it's just that maybe d other activities that they have here didnt interest me... so in other words i join for the sake of my CV or my scholarship.

yesterday was my first duty to jaga at the MPH with janna and chin ling. janna couldnt make it (first duty already ffk *ish*) and chin ling was abit late... (-.-)" so i was the only one there for a while with nicholas. it was from 9-10 and my class starts at 11. i woke up few hours early just to jaga some stupid hall and i have to do it every week.
later that day, before food science class, i was checking out my friend's MyKad. damn funny la. One of the guys, KC his picture in his card made him look like an Indon/Vietnam/Laos terrorist. if he were to wear the army uniform then it'd be perfect lah. XD Another one was wanli, she's very photogenic but in her MyKad pic she looked so aunty-ish. her excuse was that she just woke up. we laughed like hell until she snatched it back from us. hehe=)

after class i stayed back in college to watch Ouran High School : The Host Club! i have a sudden craze for this anime since the first time i watched it! i'm so in love with Kyouya and Tamaki..!! hehe...(*.*) anyway i cant wait for the next 2 episode! i know, abit weird right that i have to stay back and watch in college when i actually can watch it in the comfort of my own home. that's the reason i got so bloody pissed. this anime video can only be played using real player, so i DOWNLOADED the whole thing from the net so that i could watch it. Then, the most suay-est unlucky thing happened! the video can be opened but no picture only the sound! imagine that! then what's the point right! waaa... i felt so crushed (o.0) *cries*

and there's another thing that made me sooo dissapointed! i've sign up for a waitressing job at shangri-la today. its from 11 to 11. RM9 per hour! and that makes it Rm108 in a day!! and guess what!? it got cancelled. i've already made plans on what to do with the $$ that i COULD be earning. *cry cry cry*

still am bummed out about that, u noe... *sighs* maybe i'll feel better tonight as i'll be going for my cousin's 21st bday party at some restaurant. it's really big i think cos she invited like a hundred over people, maybe i'm exaggerating but i guess i'll find out tonight.

over and out~

a series of unfortunate events...

2006-07-20T20:47:00.000+08:00

yes it's me, this is the first time i'm bloging after i deleted my xanga site. its been a while now and quite a few things have happened in my life these few days.

well, for one thing, i've lost my wallet. it's not that kind of 'lost' where you lost it then later you found out that you left it in your car. NO. i really lost it. really gone. =( i cried really badly. though it doesnt help but i cant hold back the tears. never in my life, i've felt so lost before. thank god for nicholas and yishan.
later that night i had to go to the police station with me dad to make a police report. after that the officer told me that Taylors is not in the Subang area and i had to get the report certified at PJ's police station. So the next morning i drove all the way there and got lost too. Poor thing Janna i had to drag her along too. she was so nice to accompany me already, felt kinda bad. Lucky our class starts at 11. If not, we'll be in deep shit. alas, we manage to find our way back.

still havent gotten over the fact that i've lost it. feeling kinda down sometimes because of this. *sighs*
a few fights with my mom and sis followed this. honestly i just wanna get out of the house for a while. or maybe i should just stay in college.

speaking of my college life, i love every single minute of it! even though occasionally shit happens, everything seems better, more pleasant in a way, over there. im surrounded by great people, thank goodness, and not of the wrong kind. :) most of the classes are fun, lecturers.. hmm.. not bad i would say. i love my life in college. not too much of everything and also not lacking anything in particular, just the way i like it, moderate.

i have a oenology project coming soon. my group memebers and i have to make a white wine. its 30% of the total marks for this subject, so i guess its important. we plan to squash the grapes by crushing/stepping it with our feet. when nicholas told mr patrick that, he told us to ensure that our feet would be heavily sanitized before that process. :D not sure whether he would drink our wine now... hehehe...

i'll end it here. i gotta catch up on my business maths h/w and do some extra revisions too. my brain's in a rotting mode when it comes to maths! pn chuah, i need ur guidance now..! XD
