Day 14

Day 14 - 31/01/2010

day 14, exactly two more weeks to my departure. i'm not sure whether to feel sad or excited bout this coming exchange. guess it's time to catch up with my friends, before departing for a next sem in australia.

met up with mandy for lunch. we went face to face pan mee shop, and i had the speciality that my honey intoduced to me! had been eating it ever since! haha. :) my stomach was pretty satisfied then. hehe. after that, we went back to my house to have a good long catch up. havent had that for a long time. feels really good to catch up with some girly talk.

oh, i had a haircut too! from long, to pretty short. haha. instead i'm gonna tell ya a story bout the following picts to come. hehe. we shall start now, should't we? :p

it all begins when i'm all sexy and gorgeous and misterious, with my long silky hair.

everyone had admired the way i looked (so perasan like that! :D)

but sometimes i had always wondered how is it like to have short hair. A transition, a change.

and in the end, i decided to take the plunge and snip it off! so here it is:

little do i know that i would be pulled to the dark side....

the process was a very slow process, little by little:

i was a normal, pretty little girl by day,

the darkness envelopes me as the sun sets... i was too weak to fight off the oncoming darkness!

what in the world have i turned into??







Someone who's cold as ice..

a need for speed...

beautiful beyond comparison...

i come in search for your blood....

Who am i???

I am your worst nightmare....

don't i look like a sexy sultry vampire? *bites*

hope ya enjoyed my story. i know it's pretty lame, but it's pretty entertaining no? ok, i'm back to my normal self ady. :D

Day 15

Day 15 - 30/01/2010

today's a day of an emotional roller coaster. i'd felt things i'd never felt before, faced things which i never thought i would face, and basically, it turned my whole world upside down.

i do not wish to elaborate, it pains me to think of the people i had hurt in the process.

i never mean to hurt ya.

i truly am sorry for everything i had done.

the fear that i feel...

is the fear of losing ya..

the cold numb feeling...

does not numb the pain..

the heaviness in my heart...

from the pain i had caused.



.

all signifies that i don't want to lose you.

i guess i'm just too selfish..

.

i love you.

i had always did...

Day 16

Day 16 - 29/01/2010

-End of Day 16-

Day 17

Day 17 - 28/01/2010

another busy day at work. looking at P&IDs everyday in a huge box file is bound to give ya a headache. i can definitely vouch for that. haha.

yes, my file is very thick. imagine lugging this up and down two flights of stairs in high heels, not once, not twice, but more than 5 times every single day? haha! there's my exercise for the day. :p my legs feel so toned and sexy now. haha!

my thick box file.

i received a very interesting email from my colleague today, and i found it very relevant to the people nowadays. this is an intercept from a speech by the CEO of Coca-Cola, Bryon Dyson:

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.

heard dat? proper rest shyannie..

well, this is very true. people nowadays are forgetting the most important thing; family, friends and most importantly health. do ya wanna be one of those people? :)

hmmm.. i aint commenting on dat. :p

well, i had a great dinner yesterday, went to eat big big at sushi zanmai! :D but the bill also came up big big. lol. but it was extremely satisfying, no? :) i didnt take any picts of the food at sushi zanmai, but then instead i decided to put up pictures of cool looking food which i had tried this hols! here's some of the picts:

some berries fish thing at full house, sunway pyramid.

wasabi fish and wedges also at full house, sunway pyramid

well, the food are interesting, but it's basically cheaper fine dining. so the portions arent very big for the amount you pay. but it's really interesting to try and they have very funny names and tastes. tastewise it's unique, and i love the presentation of the food!

mushroom soup at expressoup, times square

broccoli soup (i think!) at expressoup, times square

they've a very interesting concept, soup inside a bread bowl. the bread is really healthy, coz it's rye bread. but, to be honest the bread texture is pretty hard. haha. but after awhile, the soup softens the bread, then its easier to eat. the mushroom soup was nice, but i prefer it slightly thicker and creamier. the broccoli soup was very sweet. haha. different taste, but i dun think i would choose dat again. haha. as for the bread, it has a very healthy taste to it. haha. like i said, different concept. :)

honey mustard french fries at ireland potatos, sunway pyramid

same as above. :)

oh oh, this is really nice.. but very fattening! haha. i feel so fat now... the sauce is interesting, sourish sweetish at the same time. the french fries are quite nice, just da way i like it. :p but the portions are quite big. haha. so it's best to get someone to share with ya. haha. aiyo, i feel extremely extremely fat now. it's all ya fault! :p

Well, that's basically all i have. look out for more food picts! :D

-End of Day 17-

Day 18

Day 18 - 27/01/2010

i'm really a boring person arent i? i cant seem to find anything interesting that happened to me today. haha. nothing fun happened in work, didnt do anything of interest when i reached home. oh wait, actually it was interesting, but i just can't let everybody noe wat i'm doing at the mo right? :p

yes, i ain't telling ya wat i was doing da whole night. bluek!

went to take picts of my dogs. hehe. yes, i'm dat bored. but my dogs doesnt seem to be very photogenic. haha. dat explains the blurred picts. haha. :p

Oscar and Hagrid

oh, we got a new mirror at the piano room. so it's perfect for photo taking. so these are the picts i took. hehe. :p

Hagrid seems to like the mirror very much. :p

Do we look alike? hehe.



Hagrid seems very comfortable..

just look at my two adorable babies :D

Me and Oscar

Me and Hagrid.

Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata! what a wonderful phrase,

Hakuna Matata! aint no passing craze,

it means no worries for the rest of your days,

it's our problem free philosophy,

Hakuna Matata!

yes, i'm back to the hakuna matata craze again. :p well, hey 'it's a problem free' philosophy after all. hehe. well, i was watching the lion king show again. and i'm still feeling pretty hyper from the song. :p

haven't felt like a child in this way for such a long time. where everything was basically problem free. haha. now as an adult (or soon to be adult), we had been chasing for this and that. and these stuff comes hand in hand with problems. yes, i understand we need to work hard for a better future, but isnt it better to just relax and take the time to smell the flowers along the way?

as a kid, we long to be an adult. as an adult, we long for our retirement years. why are we all in a hurry to grow up? why arent we all taking our time to enjoy the beauty around us? every hour, every minute and every second is precious for it signifies that we are still alive. but how can we be alive if we keep stressing ourselves up?

i'm not saying that we should drop everything important and go out and dance with flowers and butterflies. but wat we should do is to make time for ourselves and understand dat there's more to life than deadlines and assignments. wat's more important is that we did our best. our best may not take us to the top of the world, but it just take us far enough. :)

when life throws you a lemon, make lemonade! or something like that. there'll always be stress in life, it's just how you handle the stress.

so take your time to enjoy God's greatest gift of LIFE...

Reach for the stars!

Hakuna Matata!

Bella, Edward and Jacob

The twilight trio, Bella, Edward and Jacob. Any twilight fan would know immediately what I’m talking about, the constant struggle between the three of them. Many of them form their own groups of who Bella should choose, either Team Edward or Team Jacob. Some showed dissatisfaction about why Bella chose Edward instead of Jacob. But had anyone ever sat down to think past their looks, and look inside their personalities as the factor of the choice?

If based on looks only, I’ll say Jacob wins hands down. Hehe. But if based on personality, that would be a harder choice to make. In the movie, Jacob is Bella’s best friend, they shared some special bond which is indescribable and un-understandable. But Bella could not live without Edward. In New Moon, when Edward left Bella for her own safety, Bella turned to Jacob for solace. Jacob healed the wound in her heart, where his stitches is bound to leave a mark in her heart.

Jealousy is bound to exist between the vampire and the werewolf. But yet, an unlikely alliance was formed in Eclipse to destroy a common enemy. And all this boils down to the love they have for Bella.

If you were Bella, whom would you choose? Would it be Edward, for his undying devotion for Bella? Edward for whom he would do anything to protect her until the point that he would even leave her for her own good? Or would you choose Jacob for the special bond they share? The burning love he has for her?

In the end it all comes down to Bella. Edward or Jacob?


Which would you choose?

i went to hang out with my vibrante string ensemble friends today. one good thing bout this whole vibrante thing was that i found a whole bunch of people who share the same passion with me, and yet can stay so close eventhough we're all of different ages and basically everything. all because of one passion, we made an effort to keep in touch with each other, and coz of dat, we're still as close even after the ensemble group had been dibubarkan. haha.

the 4 of us met up at pyramid, and had sushi zanmai for lunch! hehe. yay, it's jap again! ^^ oh, it was ee lyz's first time trying jap (gasp!) and she had never eaten wasabi before. so this was her expression:

After:

ee lyz: Yuck!!!!!

we were all laughing our heads off at her expression! haha. it was simply priceless. hehe. yin shi was so happy dat she got to eat her edamame. hehe. look at her grinning! :D

basically, we just sat down and talk and talk and talk. it may sound boring, but i really havent had this much fun for ages! after lunch, we went to the arcade and boy can leena dance! she danced this para para paradise thing, and she went for the hard level. goodness. and she's like awesome! too bad i can't dance like dat. we were all like, whoa! haha. need to use my assets to my advantage, no? :p
