Cracker Moo Moo

Lady GaGa - Just Dance

As expected, I've gained a couple of pounds... Darn it!

Happy New Year peeps!

Thanks to absent-minded ol' me... I have no self-snapped pictures :(
Left my camera, collecting dust, by my nightstand...
As I proudly told Pa, "YES. The camera is in my bag!!"


I shall either attend a memory exercising class... OR, stock up on post-its.
Sensing that I'm a future Alzheimer patient :/

I didn't realise it was the year of the OX until I received a rush of MOO MOO messages.
MUST GET NEW PHONE! Somehow my very "outdated" phone failed to read most of the picture messages received.
I had to constantly reply, "Thanks. But I can't read your msg. My phone not so canggih lah..."
Embarrassing much =.=

Aside from foood foood foood and occasional booze, CNY this year has been a bore.
Everything seems to have slowed down in Penang.
The streets aren't as noisy as before. Festive lights are almost non-existent.
Note : People in Penang lovelovelove decorating their houses with NEON LIGHTS.
I guess recession suddenly drove them into a energy saving craze.

Speaking of which.... The new R word has landed in Malaysia, like finally!!!
It's about time Malaysians realise that we need to stop splurging on Gucci and Prada, and start saving up.
Note to self : Stop drooling on Burberry :/
Say "Recession", and most of Madamme and Datins will go "Huh? New label ar?"
Some say this time it's serious SHIT.
Some say it's no big deal... It'll pass.
So, now the world is drowning in a shit-hole of 'he says, she says'.

Whatever it is... I'm affected!

It's not easy sitting through multiple conversations of money money MONEY....
Yeah, I know. It's a common topic during Chinese New Year with all the CHOY CHOY CHOY and FATT FATT FATT chantings...
But somehow this year, it's ten folds!
My golf fanatic uncle actually stopped talking about Tiger Woods!!! AMAZING!
Seriously... If it's not about money, it's about Najib or Pak Lah.
And of course OBAMA... "YES WE CAN" :B
But mostly the capital R-ecession...
Year 2009 is gonna be one hell of a ride!

Even though all that money talk was kinda a bore... It's effing hillarious to watch my aunts and uncle chitter-chatter.
I have a very noisy Hokkien family. And most Hokkien expressions are exeggerated.
They somehow have the tendency to breakout into a hyena-like laughter at every single minute.
Not sure why, maybe the booze, but most probably the crazy Kee-genes we possess xD
Gonna miss em. Won't be going back till August. Tolls are effing expensive!
Speaking of which, I think the 10% off from 12am - 6am is effing ridiculous.
Thanks to that "generosity" there'll be a loooong line by the side of the busy highway, a few metres away from the toll booths, from 11.30pm onwards.
WAY TO GO =.=!

I hate the capital R!
My gambling sesssions have been struck out to nil.
Didn't gamble AT ALL this year. Hmph, no easy money. Bleh.
Partly because my cousins are all getting married and breeding like minks...
Kakis sudah lari...
AngPaus are getting lesser and lesser too.
Amount per packet hasn't changed (phew...!), but due to less visiting, less packets :(
Fire crackers have decreased too. There were some boom bam... but compared to last year, it's no match.

Jeez... basically everything has toned down! Everything but my eating habbits xD
Oh well, CNY ain't over yet... More food to come :D
Putting all these aside, family matters most.
That hasn't changed a bit, thankfully.
I just love family gatherings :D Can't wait for the next one to come around.

Till then. Back to college. "YAY!" =.=

Rolling Down That Heated Tar

Chantal Kreviazuk - Leaving On A Jet Plane

I'm off to the land of food food food food...
Where I'll become fat fat fat FAT!
Penang the home of Har Mee, Char Kuey Kak and O' Chien!
GLUTTONY ALERT!!!
Off my grandfather's... Where the internet and Astro are non-existent :(
Gotta carry a truckload of assignment with me too.
Got 2 General Paper essays to write, both 600 words! What's worse? Handwritten!
There's no room the rant about the rest...
And the minute we're back from our so called "holiday"... We'll be ambushed with tests...
If only my lecturers aren't so nice, I'll cause trouble for sure :p
After not completing my homework for the past 2 years, I'm finding it rather difficult to start xD
But... sigh... no more time to fool around...
No more skipping classes... No more dozing off in class...
This is some serious shit xD

oh oh oh.... and you know what?
I saw JJ (the hitz.fm radio dj) at SubangParade just a few hours ago...
His lil' baby boy was shooooooooooo cute!
Waved at him sheepishly, and he actually waved back xD
Oh come on... Give our local celebrity some taste of fame :D
I don't think anyone else really recognised him...

So anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to everyone
May you have a prosperous year ahead (despite the shitty recession)

MIA for now... Toodles!

Petty Auction

Ray LaMontage - How Come

Someone's gotta demand Philippe Scolari to shut the f*ck up
I'm counting on Abramovich to slap a duct tape around the man's piehole.

Totally lost all sense of respect for that man.
Thought he would bring a good turn around, fixing the horrible mistakes made by Avram Grant.
Seems like this a-hole ain't doing any better.
Causing uneasiness among the players, especially Drogba (though I agree he's an ass too).
Now he's auctioning off Chelsea's star player for Robinho!
And what's worse? Four of em for one.

Those up for "grabs"?

Nicolas Anelka, whom they just brought in not too long ago, and made great progress.

Florent Malouda

Even speedy bullet, Salomon Kalou

And another still in consideration...

Football seems like a joke to me now.
Thanks to clubs like Manchester City, players are being auctioned off like raw meat.
To become a champion club, all you have to do... Is GET RICH.
This totally depletes the whole meaning of "sports".
Somehow I'm no longer excited to catch giant matches, not like before, staying up till 5a.m.
Whatever happened to the "love" for football?

Bah. If Scolari ever dares to lift a finger, and place a price tag on Lampard....
I'm so gonna launch an assassination against him.
Nobody touches Lamps!!


Toodles :p

Searching For The Tickle Bone

I've finally found Peanuts comic strips! Teehee :D

Currently addicted to comics...

AND COFFEE...

I shall snap a picture of the coffee vending machine from my college when I can.
I know I'm such a jaccoon, but I found the machine pretty cool xD the cup popping out and everything :D
Whoever owns that vending machine is gonna be dead rich by the end of the year, thanks to me.

Just a random update. Feeling very lazy :D

Stones Taught Me To Fly

J Minus - Time To Grow Up

Life gets tougher everyday, but I guess that's the beauty of it...

I feel like bungee jumping off a cliff, just to feel that rush of adrenaline that sweeps all the emotions away.
I've been an emotional wreck. Jeez, I don't know...
This happens every now and then when I have a rush of mixed feelings...

College has been pretty good so far.
No doubt the schedule is HELL. But I'm starting to get used to it (thank God!)
I have a funny bunch of lecturers. Each have TOTALLY different personality.
The bunch of friends are great too. Although we seldom get to see each other, due to different programmes. Plus, Sunway is friggin huge. It ain't easy to "bump" into each other.
North, south, east, west, arghh... I still get lost somehow...
Starting to look forward to college daily. Was dreading it at the beginning.
I guess a change is rather necessary. A boat can't sail smoothly throughout an occasional storm.
Life's tough. Damn bloody hell it is.
I'm starting to feel the bloody recession, although people around me seem oblivious about it.
Food in Sunway is effing expensive. For crying out loud, we have a San Fransisco Coffee stand!
Imagine how tempting it is to pass by and see a a row of delicious sandwiches, stacked with CHEESE. Ah, it's a torture.
Another hurdle I have to face is taking the public transportation alone.
Well, not exactly "public", but taking a bus and not knowing anyone on it, yeah pretty much feels like "public" transportation.
Somehow most of my friends either have super patient parents, or have a car (lucky kids xD)
I have neither :/ but I don't blame em parents, traffic at that area can cause baldness. Seriously!
The stress of A Levels haven't started YET. Soon soon. I can feel it! EEK.
Tomorrow's gonna be a looong and grueling day. From 8.30am straight on to 6.30pm.
Jeng jeng. Suicidal X|
No, Sunway's not that brutal. The last 2 hours is self inflicted.
Kinda got myself involved in a musical production by a Physics lecturer. Yeah, you read that right. Go figure!
Physics. Music. The Sun & the Moon. My lecturer begs to differ, he can relate me both.
It's a fun thing. I was totally captivated by his motivational speech and his passion for music.
Never got a serious chance to involve myself in music, so I guess those shinny gates are screaming my name out loud!

So yeah. It's not all boohoo. Daily ups and downs.
That's why I feel like an emotional wreck.
Trying hard to stay positive. There are like tonnes of people filling in all kinds of philosophy into my head. My pastor, my aunt, the lecturers, some crazy friends... and the list goes on.
A single person does make a difference in another person's life.
Thank God for these people.

I need someone to flick me in the head and tell me to "Get A Grip!"

you're probably unaware of your inflicted emotional torture...

Penang Hokkien Mee Brought To KL :)

Advert

The Wok Cafe is now open to public :)

If you love Penang Nonya food, you no longer have to travel all the way there.
Just head over to Kota Damansara, the newly developed "The Strand".



Their specialty : Penang Hokkien Mee (known as Prawn Mee in KL)
There is no need to travel all the way to Penang to indulge in authentic Hokkien Mee.
The Wok Cafe's Hokkien Mee is like no other, served with roast pork and pork crackles (deep fried fat).
Come dine in The Wok's authentic and warm ambience. It'll bring you back to Penang.

Okay, I'm not much of a food blogger. So I kinda lack of all those flowery words xD
But do come try the Hokkien Mee. It's really aromatic and no doubt there's a secret recipe behind it ;)
The owner of The Hot Wok Cafe, Robert Yeoh (my uncle), originated Hot Wok, a famous nonya restaurant in Penang.
Today's opening ceremony had a great turnout.
People went bananas over the Hokkien Mee, ordering second and third round.
There was a loooong queue at the stall till late night.
So, I'm sure its worth a visit :)
The place might look pretty empty, because there are still many shop lots that are not rented out. But you'll find it. It's difficult to miss :D

Opening hours from 11am to 11pm

Let the Games Begin...

Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim

I'm so le tired...
Orientation yesterday was pretty great.
Sunway has a unique way of making the nerdy A-Levels programme interesting xD
Speaking of nerds, my programme has plenty.
And oh gawd, are they intimidating! I'm gonna have to compete with geniuses! EEK!
Today was pretty okay, right until they gave us our schedule.
Totally cut the fun out of everything.
I have classes from 8.30am straight till 4.30pm.
Like the Cantonese will say... "Loh mang' ah!!!"
It's kinda impossible to socialize with those from other programmes.
We can only meet through hallways with short hi and byes.
I can't even meet some of my friends taking the same programme as often.
SIGH. Why o' why on mother earth did I decide to take A-Levels =.=
Should have opted for an easy peasy foundation course.
Note : Classes only commence tomorrow :/
The horror has just started.

Crackles and Booms

Yael Naim - New Soul

Happy New Year 2009!

Obviously it's a very late wish.
Been extremely busy... Even that would be an understatement.
Got shipped off to Penang 3 hours after I came back from New Year's Countdown.
And it wasn't easy to catch any sleep since it was quite cramped, had to give my aunt a lift.
Attended my cousin's wedding. Will upload photos as soon as I find time.
Tomorrow's a start of something new.
Gosh, it's a weird feeling.
My brothers are getting their uniform ironed and transportation settled to head over to SCHOOL.
And I'm starting college. Not exactly excited. More of anxiety.
I have to fork out RM10k for course fees tomorrow.
Effing crazy, I tell ya. The minute you step into their campus, they extort you.
Well, sort of... Only now I'm thinkin "Maybe I should have considered Matriculation..."
Definitely not Form 6!!
All three of us are having Orientations tomorrow. Lil bro is heading to my old primary school.
Other bro is heading to our pathetic and dull SMKTS.
Already gave him the heads up on how boring it's gonna be since EVERYTHING is b-a-n-n-e-d.
Fingers crossed that he doesn't get Pn Santhi as a form teacher, I'm sure everyone knows why.

Jeez... I feel my tummy churning just thinking about tomorrow.
It's really a fresh new start. Gonna meet tonnes of new faces, since almost EVERYONE is heading over to Taylors... Over-rated, sheesh :P
Taylor's actually called me 5 times in 2 months. First two times were about the National Scholarship.
The next two was regarding their Open Day.
The final one was to check if I was gonna sign up for their course, which I replied that I've signed up for ANOTHER college.
The lady hung up IMMEDIATELY. Heh. Desperate much. Not that they don't have enough students lining up for their "oh-so-hip-and-cool" Sri Hartamas campus.
Anyway, I'm heading to Sunway (the so called lala college).
I have totally no idea what kind of people I'm gonna meet, so fingers crossed :/

Doesn't a year fly by in a flash?
Feels like school ended last week.
It's January now... Which means, a month till the release of the much anticipated Benjamin Button!

Copyright © 2009 Yahoo! Inc. All rights reserved.
Plus a lil Stephay © self edit :D

It's already nominated for several Golden Globe awards.
Release date in February. WTF right?
Been waiting for this for ages now. One month left. Since a year flew past so fast, a month is worth the wait.
Yeah, I admit. It's partly because of Brad Pitt.
I'm one of em girls who goes goo-gaa over Mr.Jolie-Pitt :D

Anyhoo.... Gotta run. Still have a pile of things to do.
Sniffs. There goes my holidays *sobs*
