A Small Fry

Happy ending. Miserable beginning.

2009-01-04T06:55:00.000-08:00

*Cries* I'm going back to school tomorrow. Ugh. Unlike many of my other friends, I kinda hate going to school. Maybe that's why I sleep so much in class. Gotta change that bad habit. I don't hate school because of friends, I hate it because of the absurd amount of homework the teachers pile on us every day, and....EXAMS. Oh, and I also hate having to wake up at 6.30 am every morning. I guess I'll just have to endure the last year of my high school life. It might be alot funner than I think(if it weren't for those damn exams).

Announcement : My blog shall be inactive for a year. Unless I'm lucky enough to blog on weekends. Due to my SPM exam this year, I have to focus on my studies and limit myself from the internet. Sad, right. =(

So, here are some pictures from the New Year countdown at Bangsar a few days ago. I experienced alot of new things that day. Like drinking Flaming Towers, shisha-ing and assaulting random strangers on the street(you'll see what I mean).

My sister in the mask and I'm the one with the bunny ears. Plus shisha and some drinks. Don't ask me why I made such a bitchy face.

Yes, it is one silly looking mask.

Total pandemonium at Jalan Telawi when the clock struck 12. Armed with spray cans, everyone started spraying foam at their friends and random people on the streets. Even the cars didn't survive.

Notice how many people there are.

It took forever to wash that foam out of my hair.

On another note...

My deaaaarrrrr brother has gone to UK to do his masters. It's gonna be alot quieter without him around. =( And...he'll probably kill me for posting this picture.

Yes, this is pretty much it now. I shall be devoting 356(or was it 365?) precious, glorious days of my life to concentrate entirely on my studies. No more parties. No more late nights. No more internet! No more online games!! "WAAAAAAAA!" *breaks down and cries hysterically( I won't be missing you guys(for those of you who really know me, you know I'm just being sarcastic here).

Take care and bye for a year, everyone!

Passive.

2008-12-28T22:51:00.000-08:00

So uber-bored and lazy right now. Will blog some other time.

The sky is the limit.

2008-12-23T03:38:00.000-08:00

Last monday, I went with my family to Shangri-La's prestigious Sky Bar at Traders Hotel.

It's view of the Twin Towers and KL tower plus indoor swimming pool somewhat resembles Pacific Regency's Luna Bar.

The DJ crank's up some funky, jazzy tunes to suit the ambience of the place.

Malaysia's trademark Petronas Twin Towers. The ex-tallest building in the world.

Panoramic view of the city skyline and the KL tower sticking out from the other buildings like Yao Ming amidst a bunch of short people.

The drinks and food here are pretty pricey. As to be expected from a 5-star hotel bar.

Ordered the anti pasto. Personally, I didn't like it very much. Maybe my tastes are more suited to mamak style food.

Overall, pretty good. Splendid view of the city, air-conditioned interior plus poolside lounge area makes it a worthwhile place to visit. My mom and sister think the drinks suck though. They say the Blu Horizon Bar in Sydney's Shangri-La Hotel is top of the class. As quoted by my sister, "The drinks there are truly heavenly." I have yet to try it, so I can't really judge.

P/S :: Blogging is starting to bore me. Expect to see shorter entries from now on.

Irrelevant.

2008-12-20T02:42:00.000-08:00

I'm back at my hometown in Taiping(which is in Perak, which is in Malaysia). Kinda losing the mood to blog...But will blog about my experience last Monday at Shangri-La's Sky Bar soon! Sorry for the super short entry today though.

Wait, what?

2008-12-13T08:53:00.000-08:00

Okay, so maybe I was a little harsh on The Curve's taste in Christmas decorating the other day. Guess I'll cut them some slack. It does look rather pretty once it's completed and everything is lighted up.

Went to Curve at night this time. Objective : To get some drinks. There was so many people around, from families with little kids to slutty girls wearing skimpy mini dresses. People were everywhere.

Yeap, so there you go, doesn't look too bad, I suppose.

Multicoloured baubles dangling from the many arches that lead to the food and beverage area of The Curve, also known as 'The Street'(or was it 'The Walk'?)

Paper lantern thingies hanging on woody trees next to some stalls.

Santa's elves with...wings?

Some odd waving snowman.

And thus, we went to Laundry Bar.

Personally, I never liked Laundry Bar's drinks. Expensive and not really worth it in my opinion.

My Caesar salad.

My mom's lychee martini and sister's wine cooler. Mom claims the lychee martini is strong, but I can't really taste the alcohol.

Ignore the horny couple in the background. They left after a few drinks. I presume the girl went to puke.

The crowd at Laundry Bar, 10-ish, Saturday night.

And finally...

Hahhahaha! My very own "Cullen" family.

"It's just. Just."

2008-12-10T23:26:00.000-08:00

Stop wondering. The blog title has a hidden meaning to it. In case you're wondering, it's a quote by someone.

Ticket stub.

Anyway, I went to GSC again(for the umpteenth time) with my long-lost friend Poh Yi to watch Wild Child yesterday.

Damned lucky girl has her own SLR camera. (Mom, dad, if you're reading this, you know what I want for Christmas now)

I'd give it maybe 2.5 or 3 stars tops. Quite hilarious in some parts, but lots of points deducted ~~because the guy's not cute enough.~~ because it's pretty predictable. Just like any other mean girl movie.

Lunch at A&W!

Me mozza burger.

Some cutesy knick-knack. The froggy thingy turns round and round as little droplets of green liquid fall onto it.

All she lacks is the red nose.

Russia's world-renowned Church of the Saviour On Spilled Blood(I didn't know what it was called up until now, when I Googled it) in a snow globe.

Rejection.

2008-12-09T05:18:00.000-08:00

I woke up at 5 a.m. today. Don't ask me why. Just couldn't sleep. I wasted 2 hours doing pretty much nothing. Just staring at my ceiling. Watching the fan turn (somewhere in the back of my mind, I was wondering if it would fall and slice me into pieces à la Urban Legend.) At around 7 a.m, I decided to go take a nice stroll around the neighbourhood with my good ol' dad.

Morning sky : Just as the sun was rising.

The pretty and well-maintained park near my house.

Told you I'm totally amazed by the sky. Said so in my sidebar >>>>

Yes, I am fatter than a single bamboo stick.

Do I resemble my dad? And yes, his shirt says 'Terengganu Turtles'.

A cute stray cat. The poor creature ran away from me just after I managed to snap the picture. Guess it could sense the evil aura I was emanating. Mwahahahaha.

No, I was not humping the tree.

I know what you're thinking, "She so poser lah."

The aunties love to do tai chi early in the morning. I think they saw me snapping a picture of them, because they kept glaring at me after that.

There's this house opposite the park, which has SO many cats. I remember my maid telling me once that they have 19 cats. ~~I almost wanted to steal the kittens to use them as guinea pigs for my scientific experiments.~~

The mother kitty. With eyes like lasers. And claws as sharp as samurai swords.

Don't let your eyes deceive you. This place is full of red ants and blood-sucking mosquitoes.

My beautiful green neighbourhood. Taken at around 8 a.m.

My pretty sneakers. Kinda dirty, but still pretty.

So, that's about it. And if you're wondering why my blog title says 'Rejection', it's because of something that happened to me today. Not going to talk about it. The sun will shine again. Just gonna cheer up and smile!

A pink hair pin...

2008-12-07T08:06:00.000-08:00

Went to watch Transporter 3 with my dad tonight at around 9+ p.m. The movie in my opinion, was rather good. Lots of action, good effects, although I do think it is pretty unrealistic in certain parts.

GSC, 9 p.m - crowded mostly with people aged around 20 to 30.

1u is pretty quiet and empty at night, when there's hardly anyone around.

P/S :: Welcome back, Michael! Sure, it is a little late saying it, but I only found out today that you came back 2 days ago from Down Under!

P/S/S :: Speaking of Down Under, I'm wondering if the movie 'Australia' will be any good...

I feel a strange sense of emptiness...

2008-12-06T11:26:00.000-08:00

Today - fun but kinda boring on some levels. I'm up at 3.32 a.m. now updating my sad little blog. Once again, lots of pictures of food. You'll be drooling by the end of the post.

Lunch = 大炒(which literally means "big fry") at Subang :

Basically, we had 牛肉河(beef hor fun*), 干炒河(which is...stir fried hor fun, or something) and claypot chicken rice. Sis had 板面(a type of noodle soup)...large.
*Hor fun is a kind of noodle, for those of you who don't know.

Went to grandma's house after lunch...

Random picture : The sky was pretty today.

For dinner, we had this.....
.
.
.

From that to this :

No, seriously. The fins of the shark is considered a Chinese delicacy. And although I'm kinda sad to say this, but...it's really yummy(yeah, yeah, I know, animal cruelty). The broth is full of flavor and every spoonful of it just makes you wanna sing 'Under Da Seaaaaaa'~

Anyway, moving on......

This is another shark fin dish called 桂花翅. My mom's favourite. The jelly-like thingy on top is actually from the fin of the shark. Underneath it is just fried egg.

This one's steamed pomfret. Another one of mom's favourite. What can I say. Nice, fresh, very seafoody.

We made another visit to Cava. This time just for some after dinner drinks, this is the second time since I was raving about their exquisite food the other day.

Our Sangrias. Sorry for the blurryness. It's the camera. ~~I swear I wasn't drunk when I was taking this picture.~~

The 'Chocolate Dream'. And it really is one. The thing that looks like a bun is really moist chocolate cake. Though I can't quite put my finger on what's the white stuff at the side. I assume it's molten white chocolate, but it doesn't taste as thick. There's also a slightly tangy taste to the mysterious white sauce, which gives it that extra "oomph".

~~In a lame attempt to make this post a little less boring,~~
To end this fantastic post, here's a cutesy cute screenshot of me doing a quest with 2 friends in Nostale:

Dear Aliens, I am aware of your plans to abduct me.

2008-12-05T05:50:00.000-08:00

I strongly advise you to ABANDON ALL HOPE.

So, whatever, I went to 1u...AGAIN. This time with Elyana and Aishah. Damnit, I'm gonna make people bring me to further places like Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley and Pavilion next time. Anyway, I watched Bolt with them. Basically, just hung out + popcorn for breakfast + lunch @ Italiannies. Aishah made us go to 1u at the freaking hour of 10 am, and surprisingly, at gsc, we bumped into.....
.
.
.

The Geeks!(Wei Khai, Owen and Hui Jing)

Owen - Wei Khai

Bigass picture of a smiling Wei Khai and his wife, Hui Jing behind him.

I can't tell if she's giving him a death glare or a seductive leer. Anyway, enough pictures of the nerdbags.

Aishah in tinsel.

Aishah dressed in...festive colours.

The green thing is supposed to be a cat. Hence, the sign beside it. I don't think they're done decorating it yet though.

Last picture :

Okay, yeah, this one sucks.

If the Earth was a marshmallow...

2008-12-03T06:45:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, my brother had to go get his student visa downtown, so we decided to eat there since we don't go down to KL very much. At around 1-2 pm, we went for lunch at Kampachi in Equatorial Hotel.

Seafood Teppanyaki. These grilled babies are simply to-die-for. Especially them scallops! I wish they served bigger portions though.

Beef Teppanyaki. Again, another one with an unbelievably minuscule portion. This one's definitely my favourite. Notice how the meat is pink in the middle, the chefs here really tenderize it to pure perfection. One bite into the meat and I think I probably died and went to heaven. The meat is super succulent and juicy, plus very well-marinated, I'm pretty sure it's not local meat.

This one here is my bento. Not as nice as the 2 teppanyaki sets, but still yummy. That flower-shaped thingy at the bottom right corner is actually lotus root by the way.

By the end of the meal, I was so contented and satisfied. I think if I made a list on all my favourite Japanese restaurants, Kampachi would be somewhere around the top. Only downfall is the price. Our lunch came up to about RM300, sigh. Guess it's like that when it comes to eating at hotels.

Au Naturale~

2008-12-02T09:11:00.000-08:00

Right now, I'm enjoying an incredibly delectable box of........

VERY expensive Godiva chocolates(which I don't get to eat very often, sigh.) Nyahahhaha, they're so yummy(and expensive). Too bad. None for you. Will blog about today's outing tomorrow.

Lets get these teen hearts beating faster, faster...

2008-12-01T01:44:00.000-08:00

I watched Twilight. Again. Went to 1u and met up with 8 gorgeous girls. Namely Aini, Azilah, Nadia, Izzah, Aini's sister - Aishah, Elyana, Phebe and Sabreena! (Yes, 6 Malays and only 2 Chinese)

1 Utama was flooded with people today. On a Monday. Almost all of them were teens comprising of chicks, dudes, bitches, jackasses, snobs and lala girls who would give you the up-down when you walk past them. My impression on Twilight the movie is still the same after watching it for the second time though.

Phebe and I

Aini - Phebe : Poor Aini wanted to be on "Edward's side", but there wasn't enough space.

This time, I managed to snap a few pictures while watching the movie. Teehee!

Jasper - Alice

Rosalie - Emmett

After the movie :

Okay, err, this one's kinda weird...

Sabreena and I, yes, I know my hand looks bony.

Aini and I, plus half of Phebe

Her lip gloss be poppin'~ [Lip Gloss - Lil' Mama]

We wanted to eat lunch at Chili's initially, but nyeh, changed our minds so we went to Waffle World instead. Much cheaper too. Here's pretty much how it went :

Waitress : How many of you guys?
All of us : 9
*We wait for a table because it was full, and end up camwhoring.*
Azilah and Aini : Ehh ehh, abit expensive lah.
Me : Eh, I'm good with anything. Not that hungry though.
Azilah : Wanna go Waffle World?
Me : Oh yeah, but I don't think that cute guy works there anymore lah.
*After some discussion, we finally decide to eat at Waffle World*
Aini to waitress : Umm, I think we don't wanna eat here.
Waitress : Sure, no problem.
Me(mumbling under my breath) : Actually...we just came here to camwhore, that's all.

Lunch at Waffle World :

My banana split

Nadia's chocolate ice cream waffle

Phebe again.

After lunch, we split up, walked around for abit, some of them went home. And then, there were 4. So 4 very bored people, started going into random shops, trying on hats and scarves, laughing our asses away at each other.

Something wicked this way comes...(It's supposed to be a sun hat, but it looks more like a witch's hat on me)

I went nuts and started piling on bangle after bangle. This kinda reminds me of the Bibendum a.k.a the Michelin Man.

Elyana + scarf in a lame attempt to pose like the mannequin behind her.

Managed to snag this picture even though the salesgirl was breathing fire at me. Bitch. The salesgirl, I mean.

Hey, she want that lovey dovey, that kiss, kiss...[Kiss Kiss - Chris Brown]

That white thing dangling there is the price tag, okay.

We went to MPH and saw this shelf full of adult novels. I took a book and flipped to a random page and wow, it was SO descriptive, Phebe went totally crazy and kept laughing. People kept giving us icy glares because we were laughing at some silly book.

Nyahahaahaha..this was the book.

Finally, we got really bored of the place and decided to go home.

Last look ::

Don't ask me why Nadia is shooting my peace sign.

Half of Phebe's face, Nadia, Me and Elyana's eye.
And that's it! Bye, going Nostale again.

Dedicated to a very special friend.

2008-11-29T10:16:00.000-08:00

Hey, Billy, why so serious?

Though I've only known you for a short time, you've been one of the greatest friends to me. Seriously. And one of the funniest too! Thinking back, we had some really fun times. Sure, you spend almost all your time playing Perfect World and Q-World(I'm still wondering when you're gonna start playing Nostale by the way).

But you've always been the one who helped me through when I was feeling down and life sucked. You were there to help me when J_ _ _ s mysteriously disappeared(and he's still not back yet after 3 months). You're pretty much one of the few guys whom I whine to and ramble about meaningless stuff.

You're so childish that you nickname me devil, but okayyy fine, I call you angel too which makes me just as naive, I guess. I don't know what else to say, just writing this took me almost an hour, but I don't regret it though. I hope you won't ditch me suddenly and not talk to me ever again(as many people have done before), because...no one can ever replace you.

Ugh, I suck at the whole "saying nice stuff about a person" thing, sorry if it sounds cheesy, but every ounce of what I said is true. That's all, I'm off to play Nostale now!

Afterthoughts On The Twilight Movie

2008-11-28T10:35:00.000-08:00

This post is gonna be all about Twilight, and my thoughts since the day I watched it.You're gonna have to endure alot more of this Twilight mania, sorry!

WARNING : Spoilers ahead!

Okay here's what's going on about Twilight in the news :

Twilight scored $30 million in just ONE DAY, and $70.6 million in its first WEEKEND That's 70,600,000 US DOLLARS (unless I got the number of zeros wrong), baby! Hella impressive compared to Quantum of Solace in second place with only $27.4 million in its second week of release. It's not impossible that Twilight might make almost or more than $200 million if this goes on. Lots of people I know are re-watching it over and over again in the cinemas.
Summit Entertainment(the guys behind the Twilight movie) have officially announced that they are going to film New Moon, i.e the sequel to Twilight!
They're thinking about doing Eclipse. And I presume that they're gonna go for Breaking Dawn too.
There's a rumor going around that Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson are gonna get $10 million pay raise for New Moon. (What's up with all the millions?)
There are LOTS of reviews of the movie, some said the movie rocked, some said it sucked bad, but almost all of them agreeing that the movie wasn't as good as the book.

You can see the reviews for the movie here(the comments are uber long and crazy) :

News on Twilight and the next movie New Moon, check em' out here :

My own perspective of the movie(don't kill me, it's just my opinion) :

The flaws:

Okay, so thinking back, Kristen Stewart's acting was really bad. I didn't feel that she was romantic enough in the movie, and the chemistry between her and Rob just wasn't there. Also, Robert Pattinson could've portrayed Edward Cullen alot better too. I think he didn't show much emotion when he was talking to Bella, unlike in the books. He seemed more nervous and awkward the whole way, not an ounce of romance from him. The Bio lab scene made me wonder if Rob was constipated at the time.
The meadow...pretty much sucked. I expected more of a magical open, grassy space, maybe with a few yellow wildflowers around. In the movie, it looked like they filmed it in the woods or something.
The sparkling and running is awful. Seriously. Someone said that Edward looked like a disco ball and I totally agree. They even added this diamond shining sound when he steps into the sun.......which is........SO WEIRD. It was actually hilarious at one point.
The directing was poor, effects(like the running and sparkling as mentioned) weren't as good as I hoped they'd be. But then again, it IS a low-budget movie.

The good points :

The paleness of the skin was actually spot-on. When you watch the movie, you'll get the feeling like the Cullens are really the hottest family around.
The cast(apart from the stars), i.e the rest of the Cullen family, Charlie Swan, Angela, Jessica, Mike, Eric, Tyler, the 3 nomadic vampires were well, excellent. Their acting, and portrayal of the characters were even better than the leads, Rob and Kristen,
The dialogue was quite good. Kinda funny at parts, and overall I think they did a good job.
The songs in the movie are nice too, really suitable for the whole vampire thing. Bella's lullaby is not exactly how Stephenie described it in the book though. It's supposed to be really sweet at the start, and fades to a more melancholic tune near the end. I think it was more of the opposite in the movie. But nevertheless, it's still a wonderful and romantic song.
Stephenie Meyer makes a 10 second appearance in the movie, just for fun I guess.
There were some scenes in the movie I REALLY love. One of them is the baseball scene. I just can't stop raving about this! Although the effects weren't as good, the usage of Muse's song and the uber hot Cullens make it really nice. Another one is the prom scene. Beautiful set, nice feel to the whole prom thing. And I kinda like Bella's dress, but HATE the bolero(picture below).

On the whole, the movie was good, but not as deep and meaningful as how Stephenie Meyer describes everything so passionately in the book, of course. I shall be expecting and hoping New Moon will be better in terms of effects and directing because this time, they'll have a decent budget. So that's about all, it's 4.30 a.m here, and I'm having a 40°C fever on Twilight.

That's bad.

A smack on the head might do the trick

2008-11-28T05:14:00.000-08:00

Remember last Thursday? Well, that's the day I fell sick. Since that day, I managed to spread my virus to lots of people in a week. My mom, my piano teacher and 4 friends. Sorry everyone! Really didn't mean to. Today was boring, so nyeh that's all.

P/S :: I'm still obsessing over Twilighttttt~

P/S/S :: In just these 2 days, 2 guys(strangers by the way) wolf-whistled at me when I walked past. Not bragging, just wonder how people wolf-whistle. I can't even do a normal whistle.

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...

2008-11-27T00:42:00.000-08:00

AAAAHHH !!!!!!! *squeals with delight* I went to Cineleisure with Yan Leng today to watch Twilight !!!

Yes, it was just released in Malaysia today, weeeee!!! (Stupid Malaysian cinema people took so long to get the movie here, grrrr) Overall, the movie was not that bad, actually quite good in my opinion. I didn't like some parts of it...but without a doubt, my favourite was definitely the baseball scene. Absolutely loved how they used Muse's 'Supermassive Black Hole' for that one!

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan (for those of you who don't already know~)

Baseball game interrupted by them mean vampies James, Laurent and Victoria.

The movie is surprisingly pretty funny in some parts, though it could be more romantic. Definitely not as good as the book...but it's not too bad. I personally thought that the actors that played Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Angela were the best, not just looks-wise but their acting too.

Here's a lala picture of me after the movie ended and the credits were rolling.

Kay lah...don't wanna bore you with my silly poses. Here's a picture of cute Yan Leng!

But too bad for you, I'm feeling mean today, therefore...more lala poses of me!!! And yes, I, CHIHUAHUA!!! Aahahahaha *screams hysterically and faints*

After the movie and much camwhoring later, we then went to grab lunch at..................
.
.
*drumroll for no reason at all*
.
.
.

Rumah Pankek Paddington!

And no, it's not somet it's like chicken tomato something with mashed potatoes. We were so hungry by the end of the movie that we started eating before I remembered to take a picture :)

I love ya, Leng! When New Moon comes out next time, I'm gonna watch it with you again!

P/S : I hate Malaysian cinema people. They effing censor everything! The part where Edward and Bella have their first kiss? Yeap, it's gone. Stupid people.

P/S/S :: Bella's Lullaby(the original one from the movie by the way) by Carter Burwell is in my imeem playlist over there in the sidebar >>> (I simple love the lullaby to death. I'm gonna listen to it every night before I go to sleep ^-^)

P/S/S/S :: As quoted by Jessica when describing the Cullens to Bella in the movie, "That's Jasper. He's the blonde one who looks like he's in PAIN."

Oh and, before I end this blog entry, let me annoy you with repetitions of the word Twilight so that hopefully it gets burned into your brain foreverrrrrrrr !!!! Nyahahahahaahha!

Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight!
Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight!

Yes, I am that childish and annoying.

I am actually an undercover superhero!

2008-11-25T07:13:00.001-08:00

I've got nothing interesting to post today. So here's and emo story I wrote to bore you. I've decided to write it chapter by chapter. This is chapter 1, entitled Snowflake. (Oh and there are some Chinese words in it, don't ask me why, just felt like it)

Chapter 1 - Snowflake

He began to walk away, but I used the remaining ounce of strength I had left in me and grabbed his hand, willing him not to leave.

“No…don’t go, please, Fang, please.”

“I…I…love you, Fang” I said, gripping his wrist tightly.

“You’re just a waste of my time, Lara” he replied nonchalantly.

“ 难道在你心目中, 我是没有位置的吗?” I asked, my voice breaking. I could feel the tears starting to well up in my eyes.

“ 我根本就对你没有感觉, 你不要再继续自己骗自己了。” he replied, indifferent to the tears now flowing freely from my eyes.

“Let. Go.” he said and cast a sideways glare at me.

As I felt his cold eyes piercing heartlessly into mine, I lost the strength to hold on to his hand and loosened my grip. My eyes still wide and tear strained, he jerked his hand away from mine. Without another word, he turned on his heel and walked off, leaving me at the dark cobblestone street on a cold winter’s day all alone.

Cast upon only by the dim light coming from the street lamps, there seemed to be no other signs of life at the time. Suddenly, it felt unbelievably cold even under all those layers of wool jackets and cashmere sweaters. I felt the energy leaking out from my body, draining away as I began to lose consciousness. A gentle wind blew lightly, but it felt as if it struck the very bone of my body. My knees buckled and I collapsed onto the ground weakly, my breath coming out in huffs as I exhaled, forming little white clouds in the winter air. And that was all I could remember - feeling my face upon the soft, white snow on the ground and the snowflakes falling gently on my hair.

---End of Chapter 1---

P/S :: Do forgive me for any grammatical errors I may have made. I'm no high-flying English expert lah kay.

P/S/S :: Fang is not a real person, he is just a fictional character, don't go getting any ideas that he's my boyfriend or grandfather or something like that.

I was a really good girl today!

2008-11-24T05:41:00.000-08:00

Hung out with my mom and bro pretty much the whole day today. We went to this sassy place called Cava at Jalan Bangkung, Bangsar for lunch. The food there is realllyyy scrumptious and the drinks are simply to die-for, though it is a little pricey. We had the 2 set lunches for about rm25 nett, quite a reasonable price I suppose.

Cosy ambience and soothing lounge music...

My virgin Mojito - yummy as hell.

Some seafood thingy...I don't remember the name but the cream sauce is mouthwatering!

Black pepper beef . Not too peppery, just the way I like it. The beef slices are tender and yummy too.

Okay, I admit this dessert was rather disappointing. It's basically a piece of fruit cake sandwiched between 2 biscuits and a piece of strawberry on the top. Nothing much to it.

I wanted to order the Chocolate Dream (moist chocolate cake), but the waiter said it would take about 20 minutes to bake it and stuff. :( :( :( Oh well, I will definitely come back to Cava for their wonderful food in the future!

Later in the evening, went to the Curve again with mom and bro. Christmas decorations still seem rather dull, will judge when the final product is complete. At about 5-ish, mom and I went to Nan Xiang Restaurant(南翔馒头店) for a bite.

We had this herbal soup noodle thingy that was really delicious, but not exactly filling. I didn't take a picture because by the time I remembered, the bowl was empty already.

After the meal, as we were walking to the car park, I held the door open for this lady who was carrying a bunch of shopping bags. Upon doing so, she smiled at me and said "thank you, dear" and hence the title of the blog entry today. I'm not usually this nice by the way.

Hark the herald angels scream!

So, I went to The Curve with my mom on Saturday. It was pretty crowded, lots of people walking and shopping especially after the rain stopped at around 5-ish. After walking around for abit, we decided to grab a bite at this restaurant called La Gourmet House because there was this nice band performing in front of Asam Pedas. But OMG I don't know if it's just me, but the food there is just awful. The brochette I had was kinda...sour. NOT recommended.

I also noticed that The Curve has started with Christmas decorations. In my opinion, the boring yet weird decorations this year are worse than last year's overload of Christmas lights. Some people might think it's beautiful...but I think it'd look tons better if it wasn't so...MUCH.

Last year was an avalanche of ornaments, icicles, baubles and tinsel.

This year, multicoloured baubles meets layered cake. (This picture was taken last week, when I went on Saturday, they hung what looked like paper lanterns on the pink area)

Something like this actually.

Maybe it's still too early to say whether the decorations this year are pretty or not (since they haven't finished decorating it yet). But from the looks of this abominable tree, I doubt the decorations are going to be awesome.

So, I was watching an episode of Desperate Housewives today, and am rather touched by this poem recited by Mrs. McCluskey. I googled it and here's the original version, called 'Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep' by Mary Elizabeth Frye :

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

Sorry lah if you think this is such a lame and emo entry.

I dah jatuh sakit....

I fell sick today. No joke, been coughing and sneezing the whole day + my head throbs painfully every now and then. Yes, to my enemies(you know who you are), I'm sure you're laughing your asses away. In the meantime, here's a picture of my uber-A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E baby niece, Jacelynn :D

You see, most kids would run away when they see animals...but little Jacelynn here bent down and hugged the dog without thinking twice! (An animal lover just like me...*tears start welling up*)

Newbie alert!
