ma saj & mani ku re

2009-12-05T23:52:00.000+08:00

haha... mani ku re = manicure (many cure). mani ku re... inside joke. hehe...

my friend recently opened a spa in bandar puteri, puchong, several days ago and the official opening is today.

i was there with some friends this morning. they were giving out free massage (option to choose from aroma or hot-stone) and manicure specially for the opening day, which is today, duh, and tomoro only.

i opted for the aroma massage as i have been dying to get one since ages ago. so me and my girl friend were put in a private room-for-two and after a 20 mins massage, boy did i come out of the room de-stressed. the masseurs were really nice people and kept us laughing to tears throughout the whole session.

after that, i went to entertain my other friend who was getting her nails done. it was a draggy process so i went to keep her company.

one of the manicurists was quite free at that time, so she approached me to do manicure too. i was hesitant because, personally, im not exactly a big fan of manicure and pedicure, although its nice to be pampered by letting someone else cut, shape, wash, moisturize, paint and of cos, pamper ur nails.

but why hesitant?

coz there is a 'worst part' to it. and the worst part is the part where they remove the excess cuticles, which i dont see a reason why for (dont know what cuticles is? in science its called eponychium).

according to all the manicurists who has done my nails for me, excess cuticles are dead skin that must be removed. yes, i have asked them all the same question before eventho i already know the answer but i still want to ask coz i really dont see the reason why. the next one better gimme a better answer the next time.

i mean, seriously, wouldnt removing the dead skin only encourage the 'excess' cuticles to grow even more? i positively think so lo. and even so, sometimes it can hurt too, because some amateurs may end up accidentally cutting your flesh, just like what happened during my friend's pedicure sometime back. she was bleeding profusely (a lil exaggeration here) and ended up not painting her toe-nails in the end.

but well, since the manicurist asked me twice and she seemed like a nice lady who was only doing her job to survive, i did my nails anyway la. i know this totally defeats the purpose of me writing the above.

the end result was pretty.

i love it coz its very neatly done

got snowflake somemore

i chose the plain snowflake design to get into the christmas mood, rather than some boring ol' 2-tone flowers and what not. actually there is more to the design, but since i have kucirat nails, there was only enough space to draw two snowflakes. didnt draw on the thumb either, coz its so common and i dont want to be a commoner wtf ok talking nonsense...

the color is dark metallic red. i've alwiz been a fan of dark, red and metallic so i chose that color zzzz.. and the brand they use is OPI. syiok~ OPI lehhhh.....

nah let you see again...

to say the least, i still dont enjoy manicure at all. but then again, however much i dislike it, this is like the third time im doing manicure this year, today.

guess i'll take it as a treat to myself.

xoxo,

jenz

My birthday...

2009-11-20T00:10:00.000+08:00

... just passed at the stroke of midnight. Getting older, wiser they say (something I frequently ponder about), and grumpier.

I just came back from a sumptuous dinner with my bffs, of which I will blog about eons from now.

Thank you for all the wishes I received thru your smses, calls, facebook, msn, etc. Really means alot to me. Family, bffs, colleagues, friends, and old friends alike, I love u guys!!!! Some of us have not met for years~ Even tho I know facebook did play a part in triggering you on this special date, thanks for having the heart! Here's a hugeass kiss to you... Muaksssss~

To my colleagues and bffs, thank you for treating me like a princess for a day. Has anyone ever told you guys you're the best?

To the someone who called at the right time just moments ago, thank you too. You're god-sent, an angel I shall say, in case no one ever told u that before~

Not forgetting the presents I received and have yet to receive, I love them all!!!

As for some spastic people who simply had to say ugly things, show your already-retarded sour face, and ruin people's one very special day that only comes by once a year, CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU HIT MY BOILING POINT!!!
Here's your prize. Nah! *shows middle finger*

Last but not least, for those who are proud to call yourselves my "best friend" or "sister" or whatever cock (which you claimed and I never really acknowledged), and completely forgot to wish me, or had no credit to do so, or your dog died, or was too busy doing work, or any other stupid bullshit only a no-brainer can think of, FCUK KAU YOU!!

... did I just mention I am getting grumpier?

Anyway, the pic below is just something random.

A beautiful kolam I saw in Pyramid

I think the color is gorgeous. Agree?

i ACTUALLY cooked - wanton mee

2009-10-06T21:30:00.016+08:00

... out of anger.

still pisses me off when i think about it! i was forced to cook my own lunch even when i wasnt hungry! wtf??!!

ok, that aside.

this is a relatively simple meal. i skipped the char siew (roast pork) and wanton dumpling soup. here's what you need.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2)

some minced pork
5 stalks choy sum (in this case i put sawi)
water
3 coils wanton noodles (chinese thin egg noodles - and also depending on how much you can and want to eat)
thick dark sauce
light sauce (kicap)
some chopped garlic
pepper
sugar
salt
oil

The sauce - DIRECTIONS
(no pics coz never thought about blogging this in the first place)

HEAT UP oil and throw in garlic.
When garlic turns slightly brown, PUT in minced pork and STIR.
When pork turns brownish white, ADD in a generous amount of light sauce and dark sauce. Like, really generous.
Continue stirring and POUR in some water so it is not too thick and salty. Just make sure you don't add too much water until it is too diluted.
Lastly, ADD enough pepper, salt and sugar to suit your tastebuds.

This is how your minced pork sauce should look like:

awesome! looks good rite???

ok now the noodles.

The noodles - DIRECTIONS
(the part where i thought "hey! i should blog about this")

1. BOIL water in pot and THROW in vegetable.

2. When vegetable is cooked (approx. 1 min), take out and THROW in noodles (ensure you do this individually for each serving so the noodles are easier to manage). Another reason for using the same water for both the vege and noodles is to save water, plus your noodles tastes sweeter too!

3. When noodles soften, REMOVE noodles using a spider sieve (or any other sieve huge enough to hold your noodles) and DIP into pot of cold water.

4. After dipping, DIP BACK into the hot water for a while, and REMOVE noodles to put into individual serving bowls.

5. Repeat this for the next serving but do not use back the same water if you are going to do it for 4 people or more. i suggest you change the water and repeat the whole process or else it would be SO GROSS!

The end result is this:

sorry la the photo quality abit poor~

Well well. Easy right?

Imagine, i was so pissed, and i just cincai poured in the dark sauce and light sauce, throw in salt and sugar, and did not taste it until i finally ate it at the end. IT WAS REALLY GOOD! wowiamsoamazedwithmyself! iamawesome!

p/s: DO try this at home!

lovies,

the disappearing act

2009-10-04T20:13:00.001+08:00

i guess i have been inactive in the blogosphere for a whopping 7 months now due to some personal and work-related reasons.

it's not that "i dont have the time", its just that when i do, i'd rather do other more productive stuff, like sleeping, watching tv, going out with ma buddies, etc etc.

productive, konon.

yesterday marked the 2nd anniversary of my blog and i realised i have so many entries in the drafts that i never did publish, over the 2 year period.

perhaps some of those entries are outdated, maybe i was pissed at someone at one time and wrote an entry bitching about them, but im not angry at them anymore now, so i dont need to publish it after all. later they say i siu hei, and still keep in the heart until now.

perhaps some of those entries are incomplete, where i started but did not finish writing it, and now i cant remember what happened entirely coz i have poor memory. i guess i wont publish them after all. whoever publishes an unfinished/incomplete book/article anyway?

perhaps some of those entries are not meant to be read by others, coz it might spark some misunderstanding between me those people who termakan cili, so i better not publish it after all. later they terasa pedas, then not good lo.

anyway, so how much exactly do you miss me?

let me tell you abit about what i have been up to for the past 7 months.

i joined my present company in mid February. its my first job since graduation. so far, so good. cant say much, coz you'll never know who's reading your blog. =P

my workplace is in Subang, about 10-15kms away from home, which is actually very short-distance, considering the time i start work at 10am everyday, something i love very very the much. i can leave home at 9.40, and still reach work at 10.

i have 3 very experienced bosses above me who knows the advertising industry inside out. 2 ladies, 1 man.

just to let u know, my company is just a small advertising agency.

anyway, this is just a short update to let the rest of the world know that i am, indeed, still alive and blogging.

more from me soon~

love always,
jenz

a dedication to a dear friend

2009-03-09T22:14:00.004+08:00

† ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ †

as usual, this is a short post.

i just came back from Malacca about 3 hours ago and of course i wont be blogging about it yet.

i guess i am a procrastinator by nature.

muahaha,

i do believe in miracles

2009-02-19T23:42:00.001+08:00

Happy 21st Birthday Ms CLOVER TSC
(see i know you like green)

whoa~ 21 years old. big gal d.

you are officially legal to do anything from this age forth.
come lets go casino together gether~

she ma cousin btw. everyone say hi~

Δ Φ Θ Ω φ Σ δ ΐ Π Њ Ћ Ю

anyway, i am here to tell you a story apart from just wishing my cousin.

last tuesday, i lost my poor dog, honey.

she ran off with another dog, and never came back.

it was my fault and the whole house seemed to blame me as i was the one who opened the autogate from afar, and did not realise honey ran out.

ok it was my fault. im sorry.

anyway, about 2 hours later, my mom asked me, "where's honey?"

and im like, "err... isnt she there?"

and she's like, "no."

then i quickly ran out of the house, i saw her far away, and she ran off with what seemed like another dog.

she would normally come home if she goes out and do her business.

this time, she didnt.

i drove the car around, called out her name, but to no avail, honey was no where to be seen.

until the next morning, i decided i had to do something else.

i googled up DBKL, MPSJ, SPCA, PAWS and called them up.

none of those organizations did rounding the day before as it was Thaipusam.

so, for sure honey was not caught by them.

i believed honey was at the MPSJ dog pound in Puchong Perdana, because when i called up that place, he insisted that outsiders are not allowed to visit.

so i called up eugene, and got him to accompany me.

upon reaching, the guy opened the gate for me.

i looked at the dogs and my heart was filled with pity.

they were all caged up. about 20 dogs in one huge cage and they were all awaiting to be executed (put to sleep).

and yet, sadly, honey was not there.

i posted up her photo on the puppy.com forum, and i did receive one call, but it was the wrong dog.

after a few days, we gave up.

only 2 nights ago, at 1am, one guy called me up.

he found honey nearby ioi mall, which is about 2 kms away from my house.

and he brought her back to my house around 1.30 am in the morning. how nice~

isnt that miraculous? one whole week??!! what the...?
coz we kinda hoped for the worst for honey d, since there are some vietnamese living around my area.

i am really thankful she is back.

ok. end of story.

i love you all,
jenz

làm kinh ngạc việt nam - day 1

2009-02-10T01:00:00.006+08:00

which means 'the amazing Vietnam'.

(p/s: this post is up rather late, as usual, but better late than never anyway.)

Kuala Lumpur - Ho Chi Minh City

after months of waiting prior to booking our air tickets, 9th January finally arrived, and off we were to HCMC (better known as Saigon).

we met up in KL Sentral at 10 am, and i was slightly late as usual.

Jimmy was there too.

before you proceed reading about my exciting trip, let me tell you a story about my dear friend Jimmy.

you see, before we booked our air tickets to Vietnam, we discussed about the number of days we were going to be there, of cos. i insisted 10 days or more, the others agreed, except Jimmy.

he claimed 10 days was too long. 8 days was long enough, what more 10. in the end, because of him, we all settled for 8 days.

ok.

but guess what?

our friend fong fei kei in the end. he din go with us. his air ticket was wasted. haiz.

so i am very angry. or else we would have gone longer.

but he belanja me makan d. so i am not angry d.

anyway, back to day 1.

we took the 11am airport coach to KLIA. or was it 10.30? i cant remember.

Jimmy was there to say goodbye~

my beloved travel buddies: Jason and Hui Teing.

since all documents were with me, i checked in for us.

dont know how this happened, but everyone ended up at the counter, and me behind.
i think they were more excited than me but they pretended not to be.keh keh people.

i proudly present to you our tickets to SAIGON.

after checking in, we walked around KLIA and took some photos knowing that we would be too tired if we were to take them when we arrive back to KL instead.

thats a hell lot of things for prohibited stuff.

my guess is, some of the items are allowed provided you check them in, as long as you do not carry it with you in your hand luggage.

what a show off~ and i do not know what kinda pose that is.

probably one of our very few group photos.

in case you dont recognise the other 2 people in striped shirts, they are Eva and Joseph.

there is a joke when we took this photo.

we randomly asked a korean guy to help us take this photo because no one else wanted to help us wtf.
anyway, when we were ready, eva said "say cheese".
so the korean guy said to us, "chee---se".
it was really funny coz it sounded like 'go die' (chu shi) in mandarin.

we then proceeded to the departure hall where we lingered around for a bit.

Fern, and Jason at the back.

me. can see the excitement on my face or not?

thats our ride right there.

the boarding time finally came, and we excitedly walk to our plane. i made sure we capture every moment of excitement as we know they dont last forever.

see see... boarding the plane also have to take so many photos.

so we took malaysia airlines. i cant tell you how pleased i am with their outstanding service. traveling 5 star with the best cabin crew in the world with the cheapest airfare. you seriously have no idea how much i paid for my air ticket.
it was absolutely 'pang! leng! jeng!' (cheap! good! splendid! in cantonese).

this wet tissue is the first thing they gave us before the plane even took off.

Hui Teing somewhat fascinated with the beautiful clouds.

there was another joke to the cloud thing too.
it was something to do about us talking about how heaven looks like and Hui Teing looked like she was looking hard at the clouds like she was looking for something, and i being so silly, i asked her a silly question, "you looking for your god ar?".
she laughed and asked me if i was trying to look for Jesus coz she is a free thinker.
not funny i know. but it was funny when we said it ok.

about half an hour after taking off, we smelt something real good. since we were flying economy class, we were seated at the back. they passed by us with food we knew were so damn good because of the smell.

we all drooled in envy.

little did we know, our ticket includes a meal too.

the moment the stewardass came to our seats, she said "i am sure you must be waiting for your food".

and you know what? she was absolutely right.
we were so happy because we only had breakfast at 10, and the time was already 3pm.

we had 2 choices to choose from.

Hui Teing took the pasta with some sausage thing.

i took the fried rice with some chicken thingy.

it doesnt end there. it also comes with a fruit cake, a bun, butter, jam, water and zip chocolate. apart from orange juice, you can also opt for red or white wine, and liquor i think.

after eating, we could see Vietnam from above d.

we arrived in Tan Son Nhat airport, and my cousin got the driver to pick us up.

this is him. and thats my name on the paper~
i cant really remember his name though.
so difficult to talk to him coz he doesnt speak English at ALL!

the moment we came out of the airport, i was shocked.

the amount of motorbikes on the road.

plus, the traffic was simply amazing.
it was beyond my worst imagination, and completely unbelievable.

out of no where, this fella was selling baloons beside the roundabout at the main road.

how are the motorists supposed to stop and buy?

oh btw, there are no rules for motorcyclist it seems, according to the locals.

and something i just found out. the motorbike licence is forever once you get it. FOREVER??? so funny right? i laughed when i heard it. i dont know if its the same for driving licence tho.

Villa Riviera, where we stayed at.

this is my cousin's house in Villa Riviera.

its a 3 storey bungalow in a gated area just beside the Saigon river.

the car on the right was our ride back to her house.

this is the room where us gals slept in. of course i slept on the bed lar.

go figure who slept on the floor.

after putting our stuff down, we went straight to town to book our tours as we prepared the itinerary before hand.

before that, we went to excange for some local currency.

with USD100, i became an instant millionaire.
nothing beats the feeling of becoming an instant millionaire, i tell you.

we booked our tours with Sinh Cafe, probably the most famous tour agency in Vietnam as they have several brances accross the country.

by 7.30 pm, we got everything settled and paid for, and went to catch the water puppet show.

we obviously lost our way. i think we walked something like 3kms and finally found the theatre, which was about 1kms away from where we started. how smart.

if you've not seen it or heard of it before, this is how it looks like.
the puppets dance on the water to the storyline, thats why its called water puppet duh.

these are the people who operate the water puppets.

the voices behind the water puppets.

and this is one of the audience.

the puppet, so huge, freaks people out. dont you agree?

so the show ended, and we backtracked to the town where we had KFC for dinner because we didnt know what to eat.

i do not have a photo of the meal i ate coz its just the normal snack plate, but i can tell you a little something about it compared to Malaysia's KFC.

its wayyyyyyy cheaper.

their 'hot and spicy chicken' is only 'hot chicken'' compared to ours. not spicy.

their chili sauce is orange in color, but its not too bad. i have a photo of it, but i will post it another time.

The End

stay tuned for day 2.

missing vietnam dearly,
j.e.n.z

the dreamcatcher

2009-02-03T23:23:00.000+08:00

my cousin and her boyfriend came from australia, and they are here for a week.

i am their official tourguide and i've been taking them around town.

so the other day we were walking around shopping for souvenirs, something crossed my mind.

the dreamcatcher.

i looked all over, and i managed to find a really pretty one.

this is a dreamcatcher.

there is a legend behind the dreamcatcher.

the native americans (my guess is some red indian tribe), first created this thing.
they believe that the night is filled with good and bad dreams.
dreamcatchers were made as a charm to protect sleeping children and princesses like me from nightmares.

the myth is that the dreamcatcher will catch one’s dreams in the night.
the good dreams will find their way to the center of the dreamcatcher and float down the feather.
the bad dreams will get caught in the dreamcatcher’s webbing and disappear at the first light of the morning sun.

dreamcatcher is therefore considered a filter allowing only good, pleasant dreams to get through.
dreamcatchers are also believed to bless those who are sleeping with good luck and harmony.

isnt she beautiful?

paid quite abit for this small thing eh.

✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿

anyway, the other day at my amah's house, i went to the pasar minggu to get some asam.

and something caught my eye.

ding dang~!!

i havent seen it in a million years.

so i bought it.

yea, it still comes with a free useless toy.

lotsa love,
jenz

happy chinese 牛 year everyone~

2009-01-31T22:24:00.009+08:00

i just came back from my amah house. amah is grandma in hokkien.

amah house is in kuala nerang, about 30mins drive from alor setar, kedah.

since amah is my maternal grandma, we usually go back to kedah on the first or second day of new year.

last year i had to celebrate cny in genting. so i thought, this year i die die also must go back to amah house. one reason, coz i havent seen my aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews for 2 years. another reason being, i havent seen my amah for 2 years too. she is really really old. i think in her late 80's d.

i arrived in kuala nerang on the second day of new year, by train.
the train ride was very unpleasant. because we only bought the tickets last week, we didnt manage to get anymore berth, and ended up buying third class instead.

the coach was like -8 degrees. ok im kidding, but it was really really cold la. my dad ran to the cafeteria to keep warm. i joined him an hour later. we both ended up sleeping in the cafeteria itself. and u know what, the ride took blardy 11 hours.

my back ached and i was sleep deprived.

anyway, back to amah house story.

before you see pics of my lenglui cousins, i shall show you photos of my amah house.

the house is actually a corner wooden shop house.

my late ah kong (grandpa) opened this hardware business many years ago,

and now my ji ku (second uncle) and his family is running the business.

every morning, roosters and hens cluck away freely outside.
you will see little chicks following their mothers, chirping happily.

at the back of the house, there is the washing area.

there is also a bathroom, newly built, about 2-3 years ago.

its quite nice to sit on the red sofa and hang out actually.

there is some breeze, and the sounds of clucking chickens in the background.

this is the kitchen.

its a rather simple one only. its right next to another bathroom.

the bathroom is actually open-aired.

open-air in the sense that the walls are not right up to the ceiling.

right beside the bathroom is a jamban. i forgot to take a pic.

i will make sure i do the next time i go back there.

this is the hall.

can you see my ji ku sitting there nicely? he is watching tv.

there are 3 rooms upstairs.

can you see so much of wood?

this is the master room.

i slept in this room with my cousin sis this year

while the rest slept in my cousin's new house just around the corner.

so thats it about the house. my mom practically grew up in this house.

upon arriving on the second day of new year, all my mom's kaki came at noon.

to gamble of course.

can see my mom or not? full concentration.

what is chinese new year if there is no gambling anyway?

night time came, and it was the usual outing with my cousins.

my lenglui cousins and i.

when we first started going out, i was about 14-15 years old.

back then, we used to go out in a really huge group of more than 10 people.

we would drive all the way to penang just to go to the beach, or just to club, and drive back to amah house before dawn, which is about 3 hours away.

now as we get older, the group simply gets smaller.

anyway, thats besides the point.

so on the third day, we have our annual cny gathering. it is already set that we gather on the third day of each new year. no invitations or reminders one. people automatically remember to keep this day free and come. so the place is really really lau juak (happening).

usually we have it in my amah house. but this year, since my cousin sis bought a new house, we decided to have it there instead.

we have nasi lemak every year without fail.

its really nice to meet so many relatives, eat with them, chat with them, gamble with them, etc. but it is also a time where we see how different one looked like from the previous year. older, fatter, thinner, prettier, etc.

currently, you will only see 4 generations in the open house. lets just hope my eldest niece quickly grows up, then we will see 5 generations all under one roof. THAT WILL BE SO COOL~

there will usually be 2-3 groups of people gambling away.

my group, where small kids joined us this year.

and my mom's group of course. they can gamble from morning until past midnight one. don play play. after all, this festival is only once a year.

as for the younger ones, they entertain themselves by running around, watching dvds, etc.

jia ning and dominic playing in the truck.

the older boys even brought some firecrackers to play.

oh and not forgetting, my cousin celebrates her lunar birthday on the third day every year.

so lucky, got extra angpow~ bluek!

we usually head back to kl on the fourth day.

this year, we stopped by at my tua ee's (eldest aunt) house for lunch before driving back.

and guess what?

i guess the younger ones has just started their own gambling vice too.

awww... dont they just grow so fast?

okie... thats about it. thank god i took the camera back. i hardly have any photos of my relatives.

here are some pics.

dominic and his cousins. currently the youngest generation.

me and my cousins. the second youngest generation.

the aunties. my mom's generation.

me and my amah.

in this photo, you can see all 4 generations together.

starting from my amah, my mom, me and my cousins, and my cousin's son.

(p/s: the vacation pics will be up soon. sorry for the delay.)

love,
Jenz

if you are driving long distance, please make sure you:

have sent your car for servicing.
take lotsa rest before starting your journey.
have ample supply of Red Bull and Livita.
have a break if you feel tired along the way.
and your passengers BUCKLE UP! it makes a difference!

other than that, have a HAPPY and PROSPEROUS CHINESE NEW YEAR, and may you receive lotsa big and fat angpows~

i ACTUALLY baked - blueberry cheese tarts

2009-01-19T14:49:00.017+08:00

tadaaaa~~~

let me tell you, it tastes better than it looks.

making it, however, is really time-consuming. it took me 3 hours to finish what i started.

believe it or not, its true.

so who wants some blueberry tarts?

lots of tarts and berries,

uber uber sad X one hundred thousand million infinity times

2009-01-07T00:04:00.006+08:00

i am sad for one reason. one reason that makes me wonder why on earth i cant be treated as a grown up by everyone.

click for the rest of this entry.

it is password-protected and comments are disallowed.

the year that was...

2008-12-31T23:41:00.000+08:00

...2008

it has reached to the time of the year again where we tell ourselves, "im gonna leave those bad stuff that happened this year behind, and look forward to a brighter and better new year".

its also the time of the year where we tell others, "happy new year and may you have a happy, healthy, prosperous, and peaceful year ahead".

stepping into the new year is just like stepping into another day. its like today going on tomoro. its like wednesday going on thursday.

but but but, i think this is the most significant time of the year. it is probably the only time where people reflect back on the things that happened throughout the year, it is also probably the only time where people remember and think of the resolutions they made last year, it is the only time where people know if they've achieved their resolutions, and most commonly, it is FOR SURE the only time where people make new resolutions.

some people may think of starting a new life, turning a new leaf, changing themselves, etc etc.

i wrote a snippet last year on how i never achieve my resolutions every year.

anyway, no i didnt achieve anything i guess but there are afew memorable stuff that i can think of which happened this year.

the year kicked off with me doin my internship in genting. i had the most amazing time and probably the best experience as an intern. it was the most wonderful time of my uni life.

celebrated chinese new year away from my family for the first time in my life. i had a wonderful experience, nonetheless.

had the first candle light dinner in my life on valentines day. it was very romantic. you can read it here but you will need to scroll down.

witnessed a guy attempting to commit suicide in genting skyway. you can read it here but you will need to scroll down too.

walked down 42 floors during a fire drill practise. it was the worst and most tiring day of the year.

went to redang for the second time.

saw the process of making a tattoo.

had a new addition to my family. my second nephew was born.

had 10 dogs in my house at one point because my doggie honey gave birth to 9 puppies.

got 2 friends jason and jacob to start blogging, as well convinced fern to have a public blog.

attended my first nuffnang event organized by kakiis.com. it was an amazing experience as well as to have some bonding time with jason and hui teing.

had endless k-sessions and movies.

ate smelly tofu once.
attended an amazing sum of concerts and events such as guang liang's, jacky cheung's, xing guang bang, new man's 5th anniversary, models magazine party, etc.

met kenny sia at new man's 5th anniversary and had dinner with him in delifrance, hartamas.

went to singapore.
cooked my first pasta.

and completed my degree.

basically the list above is nothing to shout about la. just some things that made the year more eventful and memorable.

i wanted to list down the unhappy stuff too, but i cant seem to think of something i regretted doing throughout the year. is that a good thing or a bad thing? i guess i just seem to forget things so easily.

this year, i am not going to make any resolutions, but rather, a list of things i want and hope to do.

get a job. thats the most important thing now that i have graduated.

cook or bake. suddenly got the mood lately.

earn more money. from blogging maybe?

save money.

go for a holiday in another country apart from those i've been.

go diving.

read more books.

brush up and speak proper english. oh my~ my english has really gone down the drain i tell you.

take up some kinda classes. dancing or yoga maybe.

get in touch and meet up with old friends.

ok thats about it. at least they are 'acheiveable' stuff, or at least, stuff i think i can achieve, and i dont want to list down everything as it is never ending, and probably, non achieveable, like my resolutions for previous years. i can even forget my resolutions. just imagine.

so dear friends and readers alike, lets bid 2008 goodbye, and welcome 2009.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you.

may you achieve your resolutions and i wish you a year of happiness, good health, prosperity and peace.

ok now that sounds like a chinese new year wish. ok nvm. and see i told you its the time of the year where people say stuff like this. how ironic.

wish me luck with my list of 'acheiveable' stuff~

lotsa love,
jenz

i ACTUALLY cooked - tom yum pasta

2008-12-30T12:45:00.006+08:00

today i cooked tom yum pasta.

no big deal rite? but its an achievement for me i tell you.

i should get some kinda award for it. you know why? because this is the first time i've actually cooked something else apart from fried rice, vege, fish, soup, and instant noodles.

like seriously.

i dont know how it happened.

i woke up, was alone, felt hungry, and pop! tom yum pasta came into my mind.

probably because i just had it on christmas day.

if you plan to cook something simple apart from rice or fried rice, here's the recipe for you.

INGREDIENTS (for 1 serving)

2-3 biji shitake mushroom (3 biji coz i like to makan it)
2 leaves parsley
1 egg
1 lime @ 1/2 a lemon
your own choice of pasta (i used fettuccine)
tom yum paste (the pic extra huge so you can see the brand)
2-3 teaspoons of olive oil
salt

if you are cooking for more people then sendiri agak-agak how much you have to add for each ingredient la.

The preparation - DIRECTIONS

1. Collect half a pot of water and put to BOIL.

2. While waiting, SOAK shitake mushroom in a bowl of hot water.

3. BREAK egg into bowl, and ADD one teaspoon of tomyum paste (depends on how much u want).

4. BEAT egg and tomyum paste for a while.

5. The water should boil by then, so ADD olive oil into water, and SPRINKLE some salt and ADD pasta into water. Leave to boil for 10-15 minutes. Stir it on and off.

6. In the mean time, CUT the parsley.

7. SLICE/CHOP the softened mushroom.

8. When the pasta noodle is soft enough, turn off the gas, and LEAVE it for about 2
minutes, then DRAIN the water.

The frying - DIRECTIONS

1. Heat up the kuali with abit of oil.

2. Put in the pasta and stir.

3. Pour in the egg+tomyum paste thing. Stir.

4. Throw in the chopped mushroom.

5. Add parsley. Stir.

6. And TADAH~ Scoop on to plate, squeeze lime/lemon, and eat.

if you want to decorate it to impress the person who's gonna eat or for blogging purposes, just add some parsley leaves and sliced mushroom on top...

like what i did (for blogging purposes... duh~).

nice rite?

im so proud of myself. i think i can pursue culinary arts, become a chef, cook, or something, whatever you call it.

the taste was damn nice, but i didnt boil the noodles long enough, so it was abit hard. ALWAYS REMEMBER to bite your pasta to see if its boiled long enough.

nonetheless, i did finish all my noodles. only to suffer from a tired jaw later on. =(

i still think i deserve some kinda award...

or maybe some compliments.

back and broke

2008-12-23T23:21:00.012+08:00

i have not updated my blog for the longest time, i know i know.

anyway, i been busy lately.

finished my exams. 2 years. in a blink of an eye. study life is over. for good.

so... im currently jobless. anyone wants to hire me?

im looking for an overseas-based job, preferably australia or singapore.
*smacks head* ok time to wake up.

christmas is 2 days away, so MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL~

tis the season to give rite?

i recently set up a fund, and i hope you will all give your kindest and most generous donations.

its the 'jen-is-going-for-a-holiday-in-january-with-no-money' fund.

im sure some of you might have heard about it.

just a brief introduction about this fund.

the fund was finalised and set up on this very auspicious day, 23rd December 2008.

the collections for this fund will run till 7th January 2009, and thats 14 days not including 23rd and 7th.

basically, the comittee consists of ;

chairperson - jenna (also the founder)
secretary - jenna
treasurer - jenna

as you can see, all postions are currently held by me and only me, jenna, as this fund is solely set up by me, and for me only.

the purpose of this fund is, of course, to fund for my vacation in january.
i will be going for a holiday with my buddies and i am broke. since i am not planning to take money from my parents, i have to fund for myself from my own savings of which, unfortunately, i have none. you also probably just read that im jobless, so i have no flow of income.

maybe i will ask abit from my brother and sister, and hopefully they will be kind enough to give me directly, or donate to the fund itself. both would be even better.

so if there is anyone who is interested to donate, please leave me a comment or email, i will get back to you immediately on how you can bank-in, transfer, or wire the money for me. USD or MYR is preferred.

for those who wish to help, but have no means in terms of money, please spread the word by posting this link on your blog, or forward it by email.

thank you very much.

okay, enough crap already. im just joking btw.

anyway this is just a short entry to prove that im still alive and ~~kicking~~ typing and also to satisfy my fellow 'readers' who keep pestering me to put up a post. cheh wah~ NAH! here it is!

ok im not joking.

and in case i dont blog the next few days,
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

ok lar, actually im really just joking about the fund thing lar. or am i?

lotsa love,
jenz

the big 23

2008-11-19T00:34:00.001+08:00

isnt such a good thing after all.

at the stroke of midnite about an hour ago, i turned 23. another year older. another year wiser. a little bit stronger than, a year ago today.

being 23 only makes me feel like i've been on earth that long. and one thing that i constantly feel about myself is nothing; except the fact that im getting older.
sorry but i cant help being paranoid. and the worst thing is when i happen to talk to someone younger about this thing called 'age'. goodness gracious.

birthdays are the best, but getting old isnt. if i do live up to 100 years old, it means that almost 1/4 of me is in the grave already. if i live up to 75 years old? that means almost 1/3. its not a matter of being afraid to die. its just a matter of getting older, and one day weaker, and then finally die.

life is short.

23 years ago, i was born.
i was couple of cms long, and weight a few kgs.
life had just begun. who knew what was gonna come my way, and what i'd turn out to be?

now, 23 years later, its so different.
im 5 feet plus. my weight has increased more than 10 folds (sensitive issue, so not gonna disclose figure). and i sometimes have some pimples on my face.

how about 23 years to come? wrinkles? definitely.

age, they say, is just a number.

yes. no doubt.
it is numbers that makes people feel better or worse about themselves. for me, worse obviously. sweet 16, 21, etc. is kinda like bull to me.

age is just a number. yes. but why a number? isit just plain numbers without any significance to it?

what if the numbers were replaced with alphabets instead?

then this year, i would be W years old. or BC years old. i dont know. you tell me.

then the saying would go 'age is just an alphabet'.

first of all, why must there be such a thing as age?

why must a person's age be defined?

why must a 12 year old be 12, and why must a 50 year old be 50?

tell me, when a woman is 35 years old, she doesnt own a car, has no house to call her own, no husband, and no children.

what would you think of her?

or if he was a man? incapable? useless?

why? isit because of the age?

people would think like, so old already but still dont own anything.

what if it was a 20 year old girl or boy instead? its wont be surprising rite?

same goes for maturity.

an average human would assume that a normal 50 year old is more mature than a 25 year old.

is it?

is a normal 50 year old more mature than a 25 year old?

or is it just an assumption that older people are more mature?

in another instance, i remember watching this movie once about a girl who wanted to be a model. she was young and beautiful.
she enrolled in this competition, and when she became a finalist, the agency found out that she exceeded the age limit.

one of the regulations for the competition was, open only to women aged below 25. she was 27.

but heck, she looks young. she looked like she'd only been living on earth for 20 years. and she's got everything else, good looks, good bod, good chances of winning, but the problem was... the age. THE NUMBER.

age, i tell you, is NOT merely just a number.

i think numbers are evil. why? because money comes in numbers. lottery comes in numbers. time comes in numbers. cgpa comes in numbers. etc etc.

although i patiently wait for my bday each year, but it only makes me realise how fast time flies.

so far, i've celebrated my bday 22 times. today, i will celebrate it for the 23rd time. how many times more will i celebrate my bday?

very soon, i'd have touched 25. and then 30. and then 50. and then?

god willing, 75 maybe?

pretty scary.

im really afraid of getting old, and one day leaving this world.

this age age thingy is really cruel.

well, in 365 days to come, i'll turn 24.

i wonder if i'll still be paranoid over this age thingy.

°•.¸.•✿´¯`•°•.¸.•✿´¯`•°•.¸.•✿´¯`•

anyway, for the surprise visit and gift from eugene, hsin suan and ling yn just now, THANKS!!!

for mr thinavan's gift (not actually a gift) which made my burden lighter, THANKS!!!

and the endelss msn greetings and phone calls from ALL my friends, and voice recording hui teing made... THANKS!!!

MUACKSSSS~~~~~

it was not even my bday yet at that time...

i know there is more to come, and I CANT WAIT!!!

i love rainbows and pivo2!

2008-11-08T23:47:00.005+08:00

as i drove to uni early thursday morning, it was the usual traffic jam.

i left home a little earlier, but it was raining, so there was still slight traffic.

when i passed by jaya 33, i spotted a rainbow.

do you see it?

its only half a rainbow but it totally made my day!

i havent seen a rainbow for a long long time and it seems that everyone else saw it too.

°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°

my buddies and i headed to 1 utama for a movie after class.

where i saw the cutest car in my life.

nissan pivo2

its cuter than smart fortwo can.

it is actually a very futuristic-looking concept car,
which will never be in the automobile market,
unfortunately.

well, at least not in our beautiful country.

a few reasons to love pivo2:

- it runs on advanced lithium-ion batteries. which means no need for petrol.

- it is environmentally-friendly.

- its cabin can turn 360 degrees and the wheels, 90 degrees, so there's no need to reverse. oh, its called the 'revolutionary' technology.

- it has a robotic agent on the dashboard which can keep the driver accompany when lonely.

- its color is beautiful.

dont you agree more?

i think all women would fall in love with this car.
well, i did.

also, its a three-seater car
where everyone can sit together in the same row.
very very feminine rite?
since we women like to do things together.
for example, going to the ladies.

it really does look like it has a personal touch to it.

oh, and this is the very cute robotic agent.
its face is rotatable and it actually talks and listens to the driver.
it's programmed to cheer up and soothe the driver.

=)

nice rite?

then i dont need to wait to see a rainbow to make my day.

take a look at this video.

°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°

on the other hand, since i couldnt get my hand on the car,
i played with the pivo2 plush toy instead.

pivo2, the back.

the front.

and the side.

okay.
maybe my face spoiled the pics.

nonetheless,
if you wanna look at more cutesy pics,
do check out the website here.

lotsa hearts,
jenz

the stalker

2008-11-07T21:43:00.010+08:00

*update - the blog got suspended about 8pm (8 nov) due to numerous complaints and boycotting, i guess. for those who didnt manage to see, u didnt miss out all that much, coz the pics were ugly and of poor quality anyway. thanks all!*

jason told me about this blog.

it seems that alot of bloggers have criticized about this blog already.

(clickable image)

and that blog belongs to a stalker.

i wouldnt call him racist, because not only does he talk about the chinese, he hits at the malays too.
or he could be indian? i dont know.

well, one thing is, he is definitely a jantan, because he only talks about women. bloody sexist.

see, mr stalker probably works in Kota Bharu Mall because he seems to take pics of women he considers sexy wearing tight fitting clothes and short skirts.

it seems to him that ladies who work in a beauty center wearing above-the-knee length skirts provide sex services.

how ulu is that thinking?

it also seems to him that chinese women who dress 'inappropriately' disrespects the malays.

never mind.

so those malay ladies who dress 'one kind' leh?

disrespects him i suppose.

psycho.

oh, not forgetting, he even talks about women wearing tight tudung.

OMG! would you please just give those women a break??
cant they at least have some fashion?
they already have to cover up their whole body, you want them to put on the flare tudung?

i think he's really psychotic.
he has nothing better to do everyday than to walk around and take pics of these women.

so mr stalker, this is for you.

the 'sexiest' pic i can find in my blog.

-__________-"

anyway, women who patronize KB Mall, beware!

in his first post (7 Feb 2008), he mentioned that he wants to get a spy cam to take more of these pics.

its 7th Nov today, and he might have bought it already.

so whether you work there, or shop there, or eat there, or whatever, BE VERY AWARE of this stalker.

or else, next thing you know, your pic might appear on the internet.

i hope he gets caught one day, by the police, his reader, his victim, or whoever.
then he would get his chance of being condemned on the internet.

we shall do it together-gether okie?

you can click here for the stupid blogsite.

oh, and mr stalker did mention about how these women would die in hell.

but him? he snapped their pics, posted it on the internet, and condemned them. worse still, without them knowing.

he probably didnt think about how he would die in hell.

so so so scandalous

2008-11-04T21:19:00.002+08:00

a couple of years ago, i had a friend, shiela (not her real name), from church.

we were not from the same secondary school. she was from subang, and i, from pj.

we only meet once a week in church, and she used to mention about her best friend, arinna (not her real name either).

with all those stories i used to hear, i never really met arinna.

i checked out arinna's friendster profile time to time, and i felt she was the 'cool' kinda girl. she has tattoos, she clubs and parties, has a couple of piercings here and there, she played foosball and was very well known in subang.

she had a very good looking bf who was also very famous in subang.

that was in year 2003.

after that year, i didnt really meet shiela anymore, because i started going to the church in brickfields.

and so i totally forgot about arinna all this while too.

until mid this year, suddenly i thought of shiela, and arinna came into my mind.

i looked up shiela's profile on friendster, and she has blossomed into a beautiful young woman now.

i searched for arinna's profile too, but i couldnt find it and she was not even in shiela's friend list.

since im so busybody, i google-d arinna's full name.

to my shock, besides foosball tournament and championship results, most of the results were about this 'malaysian sex scandal' thing.

so i clicked open on one of the pages, and it was none other than the arinna i was looking for.

OMFG!

i saw some photos, and it was, omg... very very porno-like.

so shocking!

the pics were dated 2004-2005.

the worse part was, there was one boy in those pics (definitely not the good looking bf), AND another girl.

and i think that time arinna was still going out with that good looking guy.

shocking or not, you tell me?

it was in june when i first saw those pics.

this scandal kinda like died a long time ago.

the pics were exposed in 2006, and it the news cooled off soon after, it seems.

but now... it has again re-surfaced. and this time, in our national newspapers.

it was published a couple of days back, and by the next morning when i woke up, i had received 7 messages altogether.

ya... maybe i told a few people about those pics.

and i guess some people are as kepoh as me.

but i think we should ALL stop talking about it now.

because, the last thing i heard from a trusted source is that, the other gal has since fled to another country.

but arinna's still in kl.

how is she gonna continue living here if people dont stop talking about it?

*^_^* *^_^* *^_^* *^_^* *^_^*

anyway, i just went to sing k the other day.

ya... again.

eh... after a month's break ok. totally didnt sing for 1 month!

since u people havent seen pics of ME for sometime now, here are some.

only 5 of us went. just nice.

good frens, fern and teing.

anyway... the room was okay, not too big, not too small, so some people got comfortable.

so syiok rite?

he still continued to pose even tho he knew his pics were gonna come up in my blog.

but in the end, he got paiseh also la.

lately my life has been like that la. abit slow and quiet.

which is why i been slow and quiet too.

=)

oh... there was a bar in the room. cool hor?

lovies ♥,
jenz

mind your engrish

2008-10-27T23:36:00.006+08:00

thanks everyone for your concern over the 'so what if you can speak chinese?' post.

the msn messages and comments.

to the bf who thought i feel somewhat betrayed and hurt, well honestly, i dont feel anything at all.

just so u know, that thing happened a long time ago.

and the 7 ~~bitches~~ 'friends' were out of my life like, since 2000BC.

and thats like, forever.

like i mentioned, i was in form 2.

i dont keep in touch with them anymore.

and i didnt mix with them after form 3 anyway.

or did i?

i cant remember.

unimportant people, unimportant stuff, i dont bother.

just that i recall that ONE incident all the time, thats all.

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

anyway, i was looking through my email where i found something funny and i decided to check out the website instead, www.engrish.com, where i laughed my heart out.

now i know how i exist.

and i gonna be serious!

if you are dead, go to the hospital at once.

please disturb the big grass.

anyone who attempts to swallow batteries already has a damaged mind la!

now we know what they been doing.

it wont let me sit!

*speechless*

dont accept thick pores.

seriously, would you go to a place where people enter people?

used tissue also need to buy ar?

hide and seek?

then cry me a river.

next, we will move on to 'sneeze' corner.

wintel over.

would you even buy something that'll get ur heart attacked?

imagine if 'of' were 'off'. it'll be an instruction.

the sea is not a happy place.

happy birthday of you!

sometimes we have to make sacrifices.

its so natural and delicial. really. we promise!

it's so bimbotic!

for your linkles.

you eat your thang. i eat my thang.

so, please mind your happy.

dont come any closer or i'll turn over.

if you need a good laugh, do check out the website.

jenz

so what if you can speak chinese?

2008-10-25T19:25:00.003+08:00

i was just cleaning up my room when i found some old photos.

primary school days, secondary school days, pre-u days...

ahhh~ memories.

but there's one incident i've been wanting to blog about for a long time now.

it has nothing to do with the photos i just stumbled upon.

in form 1, i was in the first class, but i did so poorly that year and i got thrown into the 8th class for form 2.

how did i get into the first class anyway?

form 2 is where i mixed with people who changed my life forever.

i had 2 new best friends.

we'd skip school together.

we got to know boys together.

at that time, boys and fun were more important than studies (i'd blame it on hormonal changes).

after all that ponteng-ing and galavanting,

we got caught one fine day.

and our punishment was; a dc (detention class) and to sweep the whole damn school.

so me and my 2 buddies took one block of classrooms each.

3 people, 3 blocks of classrooms.

haha~~~

but we cincai cincai do only la.

the prefect was cincai mar.

other than that, i had 7 other friends in the class whom i'd hang out with.

so, 2 best friends + 7 so-called friends + me = 10 of us in the group.

no. actually that made 9 of them in the group.

i was never part of the group anyway.

i dont speak chinese, remember?

not that i didnt try, or didnt want to learn.

i was forbidden to do so.

anyway, that one incident i remember clearly is...

one day during recess, one friend was saying something (in chinese, obviously).

so they all joked and laughed, and i laughed too (coz i know some words).

until i said something back in cantonese.

the word came out wrongly. but it was not a bad word, nothing. just that the tone was wrong, so the word came out wrongly.

then one of them corrected my word, and said back to me,

"hou sam lei lah (for goodness sake, in cantonese), if you dont know how to speak, then dont speak la! always say wrong things!"

and another one of them agreed and the others laughed away.

its pretty funny coz people can speak that way to other people.

didnt they think i was learning?

didnt they think i was just trying to 'fit in'?

well, they probably never thought of how i felt.

after that, i swore never to speak chinese in secondary school anymore.

and true enough, i didnt speak until i entered college, where people were more than happy to teach me and guide me.

i can still picture the moment clearly, and the tone of her voice when she said it.

"... if you dont know how to speak, then dont speak la!"

it haunts me till today, and i think about it every now and then.

i have one word for you people out there.

if you are planning to send your daughters to one of the convents in PJ now or in the future, BEWARE!

because in the school i went, the chinese descriminate the chinese.

dont say i didnt warn.

so bitch(es), your dream came true. i never spoke chinese in secondary school or in front of you after that.

HAPPY?

oh, but unfortunate to say, i speak quite well now. both in mandarin and cantonese.

you cant be happy, rite?

i am handicapped...

wait, i didnt finish my sentence yet.

i am handicapped... without the internet.

so difficult to do work related to uni.

so difficult to update blog and read other people's blog.

so difficult to do anything.

the telekom guy came over yesterday morning to fix the line.

it seems the lightning hit the socket
so the internet phone line went dead.

and so did the internet.

as a result, i have to go elsewhere to use the internet.

i.hate.cybercafe's.

it is so NOT my typical hangout place.

i just realised i probably cant live without the internet at home.

it is my source for everything and anything,
from research, to entertainment, to anything
that would keep me from getting bored or rotting away.

seriously, i cant live without it.

k, enough for expressing my love for the internet already.

the other day when some friends came to stay over, they brought us grapes.

SUPER MINI GRAPES

also known as champagne grapes.

it was uber sweet, and is my CURRENT favourite fruit~

you know i dont like fruits rite?

then when my brother was back home one weekend,
he bought strawberries~!

freaking huge stuff!

look at that!
about half the size of my palm.
not that my hand is small k.

it dont end there.

i am fated with strawberries lately.

strawberry prune
fern went to cameron highlands, and she bought this back.
its like our normal assam, only thing, nicer.

strawberry keychain
i now have 2 of them!
fern bought one back for us each as a souvenir,
and my mom gave me one sometime ago.

strawberry tarts
me mama brought this back from somewhere.
so cute rite?

i love strawberries!

i love the color!

i love the shape!

its such a cutie~

sadly, i never enjoyed eating them.

but then,
the best strawberry of all...

2008-10-21T21:28:00.002+08:00

i cutted my hair.

ok, cutted (cut-ted) sounds wrong.

i went to get my hair cut yesterday~!

despite the heavy rain, i made my mom go with me.

doing the karen cheng with the china doll hair. =)

at first i wanted to cut the same style like before, but the hairdresser was like, "cut straight la".

and im like, "ok la".

she didnt ask me to cut my long hair short tho.

or else i would really look like this...

chibi maruko...

omg.

then my face would look like this...

wtf?

reminiscence of primary school days when i once had my hair so short and straight.

i wonder where i placed those pics. hmmm~

a new layout again

2008-10-20T12:40:00.007+08:00

exactly one month ago, i changed my old layout to the 'full-blown' PINK one, or so i call it.

then i while looking around the www over the weekend, i stumbled upon this very pretty layout.

dont you think its so pretty?

so my blog is no longer PINK... =(

but that dont mean i like PINK no more. i still do, VERY VERY MUCH!

so this layout is originally for wordpress, and a hero ported this to blogger.

and the moral of the story is, i realised that my html skills is not so bad after all.

i had to delete all my widgets, and re-add them.... but that was not the main prob. i even figured out something new, like how to change the title for different gadgets, the font and size.
take a look at my 'Chatbox', 'A Must Click!' and 'Statistics' title.

the main problems were : the links were not functioning, the recent posts did not appear, the calendar in the archive appeared distorted, etc etc.

so i searched thru the whole html thing, and edited abit here and there.

and TA DA~~~

im so proud of myself.

although what would take someone 24 minutes to do, i took 24 HOURS.

haih.

so anyway, everything functions well now.
if you appear to be free, like me, go play around with the links on the top of the page.

yours,
jenz

MAMMA MIA!

2008-10-17T21:47:00.004+08:00

today i am so free so i went to pyramid to catch the preview of MAMMA MIA! at 12pm.

the movie was so damn good and now im dying to go for the musical
but the tickets are so EXPENSIVE!

so i decided to try my luck to win some tickets instead.

the competition started at 12 and i ran to the stage when they asked 10 people to come forward.

and i think about 50 people ran together with me.

so i didnt get picked.

haih.

anyway the guy holding the mic was the emcee.
and the 10 people at the back were the contestants.
and there were 3 pairs of tickets to give away.

they were told to dance to the songs from the musical, of course.

and they all did pretty well.

after that, the crowd was told to cheer for the contestants whom they think deserved the tickets.
we all cheered, but the emcee didnt give out the tickets just yet.

it was time for the preview of the musical, the highlight of the event.

just like the movie,
it opens with sophie singing 'i have a dream'.

her 2 best friends,
ali and lisa arrive and tells them about her potential fathers.
this is where they sing along to 'honey, honey'.

then fast forward to the part where donna (sophie's mom)
sings to the song 'slipping through my fingers'.

and they end the song with a duet.

this when donna sings 'the winner takes it all', solo.
it was a very powerful and emotional one.

and this the the final part where they danced to
'dancing queen'.

it was a very entertaining 20 mins preview.

and now i am more eager to go watch it.

so who took away the 3 pairs of tickets?

THEY ALL GOT TICKETS!
ALL 10!!
the emcee bluffed.

he gave out the first 3 pairs.
and then later said, "looks like i have 2 more pairs",
and handed out to them.

SO LUCKY!

actually i took a video but i cant seem to upload it.
when i finally manage to upload it, u must watch it.

its so nice and very beautifully recorded. hehe...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

oh btw, i just had my haircut 2 months ago.

and now my hair is long AGAIN!

eww... ugly fringe.

frightened or not?
coz fern claims i look like a ghost.

EVEN MORE EWWW...
imma blardy poser!

i.
need.
a.
haircut.

wakaka,
jenz

enjoy~ enjoy~ enjoy~~~

2008-10-14T21:33:00.004+08:00

that's the only thing i do best.

ENJOY~

well, first of all, my results are out.
i consider that i did well in my exams this time.

i dont usually blog about my exams or results.

but this time, i thought i flunked one paper.
in fact, i was almost sure i flunked it.

not just me.

we all thought we flunked.

BUT I PASSED!

WE ALL PASSED!

THANK GOD~~~

i would like to thank my mother, my father, my sister, my brother, my aunty, my cousin........ (voice slowly softens and fade away)

°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°

on my SECOND VACATION this semester break, we went up to genting again on the 8th coz we had 3 free rooms.

jason missing from the picture.

we stayed for 2 nites.

upon arriving the first day, we met up with our friends.

only one photo.
only jack.

forgot to take with the rest.

the rest of the day was spent in the room where we hung out and played cards.

then the drama began.

see fern's pretty smile~

her bf so madly in love with her,
just wont let her go for a minute.
so he kacau-ed her when she was playing with her NEW PINK CAMERA~
(yup, we're both pink lovers~~!)

and they rolled on the bed...

tumbled over...

here and there...

and rolled again~~

until...

"see, see, pain or not? sayang~"

her pwetty finger got hurt.

awww~~~

"F*** O** la you! can laugh sumore!"

see her sour face.

°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°

on the other hand, we also gave billion a BIG SURPRISE BURFDAY PARTAY~~~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLION~

suddenly the 38poh became so shy.
scared to take photo wor~

and used what-seemed-to-look-like-zoe invitation card
to cover her face wor~

2 mini cupcakes we bought for her.
cute hor the carrot?

joking only la.

actually it was not a huge ass birthday party at all.

we celebrated after 5pm, when most staff had already left the office.

the complain-queen, as usual,
was complaining about this and that.

saying we have no heart la,
buy such a small cake la,
this la,
that la.

but she cut it oso la.

initially the cupcakes were only for the birthday gal,
but my LOVELY EX-MANAGER,
MR DAVID TONG ~~SAMPAH~~,
go and help himself with the cakes oso wor.

WTF?

°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°•.¸.•°

anyway, there was a buffet promotion going on in first world cafe.

we went to check it out, and spotted some pretty carved fruits.

nice not?

but we didnt eat there.

we dined in coffee terrace instead.

where i had the most expensive buffet in my life.
photo taken from www.genting.com.

you know why i say its the most expensive?
because its the first time i paid for my own buffet.

i dont usually go for buffets.

nevertheless, i was very satisfied in the end because i was so freaking full.

didnt have dinner after that.

this is jason.
he's the smartest guy in my course kay!
don pray pray~

well, he sure did enjoy himself,
feasting on one thing after another.

jimmy and hui teing was full to their guts too.

and jimmy actually finished ALL his food.

geng!

normally he likes to waste food.

and of course...

this is me.

the ever-hiao poh.

seems to me like im making a fool out of myself in my own blog.

nvm.

didnt take much photos because the rest of the time we were in the casino.

and now we have 2 more free rooms.
haiz...

thats it.

muakss,

10 things i love about singapore

2008-10-10T21:39:00.000+08:00

singapore is so different compared to malaysia.

to name a few :

1. the escalators
the escalators are faster there.
most, but not all escalators tho.

the ones in MRT stations are extremely fast.
and whoa, everytime i step onto a fast escalator, i always repeat to my mom, "the escalators are so fast la".
really fast la.

and they have escalators EVERYWHERE!
good for ppl like me who hates to walk.

2. the whole singapore is the real city of lights
there are no dark alleys, walkways, bus stops, and everywhere is lit up!
one of those nights when we were heading home in the MRT at 11pm, i was surprised to see so many single girls on board.
its so safe!

3. the public transport
the buses are so punctual and efficient.

they drive slowly and safely unlike our local buses (like metrobus?).
they never rush to beat traffic lights, etc.

4. the MRT
its not as noisy as our LRT where there is screeching sounds sometimes.
in fact, its kinda quiet.

there is an LCD which displays public service announcements (potential bombers, previous bombings in other countries, etc) for awareness.

there is telco reception all the way through even underground.
people are seen talking on their phones all the way through, and show no sign of poor reception.

the passengers are very courteous too.
they get up immediately when they see pregnant women, women with kids, old people.

5. the easy (ez-link) card
a very convenient prepaid card which can be used for both MRT and buses.
if you use the card, its cheaper than paying cash.
and the bus fares are so cheap for them, like 71 cents?
but u dont convert to MYR la.

each time they increase the price, it goes up by 1 or 2 cents.
this way people wont feel the pinch ma.

6. the drivers.
they actually stop when people are crossing, or when people are about to cross the road.
SO GOOD!
the drivers dont simply cut into other lanes, they dont speed on highways, etc etc.

7. the ERP
Everyday Rob People.

no la, it actually stands for Electronic Road Pricing which is an electronic system of road pricing based on a pay-as-you-use principle.
its a fair system as motorists are only charged when they use the road during peak hours. the rate changes according to the time of the day.
during peak hours, they will have to pay more.
during off peak hours, they dont have to pay at all.

it works like a toll, only thing, each time the vehicles pass through the gantry when the system is in operation, the ERP charges will be automatically deducted.
you dont need to open the window, pass the money, wait for the barrier to go up, etc etc.
so not fair.
when i pass by LDP toll, i have to open the window, pay RM1.60, wait for the barrier to go up, no matter what time of the day.
and its all because i dont have a smart tag!
eh... touch and go oso have to open window can.

8. the food is cheap
if you dont convert, an average bowl of noodle is S$3.50.
and that's a bowl surely huge enough to make anyone full.

the other day i had breakfast, we paid S$1.60 for an average plate of noodles and 1 hard boiled egg leh.
cheap or not, u tell me?

not only that.
things are cheap too.

if you earn S$2k there, you can live comfortably d.
if earn RM2k here, very tight lo.
maybe ngam ngam only.
what is RM5 here, is about S$2.5o.
dont convert la.

their buns are like 1 buck to 2 bucks.
in malaysia leh?

9. the country is so clean
you dont just find litter anywhere.
the toilets are clean.
there are no chewing gums stuck all over the country.

the people are so educated and civilised.
its really so clean and well kept.
and i mean THE WHOLE OF SINGAPORE.

even the roads are well maintained.
i did not come accross any pot holes at all.

10. they have dedicated smoking areas
this is a good one.

one thing, the cigarettes are expensive.

people dont just smoke anywhere, and there are few smokers in singapore.
i hardly saw any.
and when they smoke, they really take the trouble to walk to the smoking area.
cool rite?

but there's one thing i dont like about singapore.

the people are quite snobbish la.
not all, but most.

sometimes they exchange glances, but they never smile, and sometimes even look away rudely leh.
i dont expect everybody to smile at me la, but... it seems rude la.

nonetheless, i dont hate my country.
i dont hate malaysia.

humans are like that la.
we all love foreign soil, dont we?

i've been living here for 23 years.

can you imagine if malaysia was the perfect country?

then we wouldnt appreciate the little things in other countries d.
we might not even bother traveling abroad.

or maybe we would, and instead write a blog entry on '10 things i hate about singapore' instead?

uniquely singapore - day 4

2008-10-08T23:10:00.000+08:00

Day 4

we started the day by going back to Chinatown, where i fell in love with a shoe, but didnt get it earlier.

its so comfortable, the shoe is contoured to the shape of my heel.

so i went back to get it.

then we headed to Suntec City.

why?

ta da~

we went to the Fountain of Wealth,
the largest fountain in the world.

this is the mini one.

and this is the real one.

its so big can.

we were walking upstairs when suddenly, the water stopped, and people were seen in the inner ring.

could secretly hear them praying and wishing for $$$$.

of course we didnt want to miss out rite.

money come~ money come~

ahaha...

and the highlight of the day was...

when i spent 1 hour in Charles & Keith.

THEIR SHOES ARE AMAZING~

i spent my all my money there where i bought another 2 pairs of lovely shoes.

i had only SGD$67.80 left, so my mom HAD TO fork out 20 cents for me...
while my father and uncle richard had to sit and enjoy outside.

but it was worth it.
it was worth going home broke.

at least i still had my papa and mama with me.

really the highlight of the day!

the end.

reached home at 5pm, and my uncle, boo yoong ku (ku = maternal uncle) took us out for dinner.

at long beach seafood.

while we were waiting to be served, i took a photo with them.

my mom, boo yoong ku's wife, boo yoong ku, and my dad.

at that point of time, my mom was like...
"enough of taking photos ady la. you've taken so many d. you know my hair like that, my face like that, my clothes so cincai, still want to take ar?"

they ordered a hell lot of dishes for 5.

these are live prawns.

the chef put them into the transparent bowl,
brought it to our table,
poured the wine in,
and the prawns got drunk.

right before our very eyes~

but of course we didnt eat it immediately la.

this is the end result.

my uncle's wife damn semangat she ordered 2 types of crabs.

their signature black pepper crab
and chilli crab.

the dinner was good and we were so full after that.

so they sent us to the railway station, and that's it.
next thing i knew, im back home.

I LOVE SINGAPORE~!

in fact, i could tell you a million things i love about singapore.

but in the next entry la.

ppl asking to see pics d.

yours truly,
jenz ♥ singapore

uniquely singapore - day 3

2008-10-07T17:10:00.000+08:00

Day 3

my cousin, annie, and her husband came to pick us up on wednesday, the first day of raya.

they drove along the coastal way.

seas, seas, seas~

and the expressway was very beautiful.

the trees were shady, and the drive was pleasant.

annie said this expressway was kept that way because
thats the first route all tourists will use
after leaving the airport.

they want to give a first and lasting impression that
singapore is indeed a beautiful city.

our first stop was East Coast Park.

food village

a makan area.

there were dedicated walk and bicycle paths.
so thoughtful.

the first thing i spotted was this sandcastle.
its TOO huge to be missed!

and of coz, a family pic not to be missed.

we walked further down and i spotted this.

this is where people can learn and practise water skating.

that's a humongous lake with an impressive machine they have there.

on the way to our next destination, we passed by the ERP.

Everyday.Rob.People.

like the one we saw in Money No Enough II.

we used the road they closed for the recent F1.

grand stand.

singapore flyer

we also passed by this,
similar to our eye on malaysia.

a big christmas tree by the road side.

we parked at UOB Plaza, at Raffles Place, located just beside Singapore River.

UOB Plaza

the mouth of the building,
which leads out to the river.

very beautiful.

this site used to be the loading and unloading bay for goods back then.

there were steps leading down to the river,
just like the one in Ganges River, India.

the sight was beautiful.

so serene.

boat quay.

there were some very interesting sculptures along the river.

this is the bronze bird by fernando botero.
he is famous for rounded sculptures.

this is a historic one.

malay, chinese, english men.

little kids

this has to be the cutest.

so cute rite?
all jumping into the river.

we walked across the oldest bridge,
the Cavenagh Bridge,
to the Asian Civilisation Museum.

entrance was surprisingly free that day,
because in kl,
we'd probably have to pay more than usual on public holidays.

i was never interested in history, whether as a subject, tv programme, etc. even worse, reading and learning about history in THE museum, but acm really got my attention.
this is probably because i never knew and was never bothered to learn more.
its like, hey! i'll never know if i dont try rite?

this was how the slaves lived last time.

they also had this interactive machine
where the girl will explain everything to you.
real people leh, but pre-recorded one la.

but when they are sick, they put this up...

hehe~

on the other hand, there were 2 gigantic creatures which freaked the shi* outta me.
i was thinking of taking a pic to freak u guys out oso, but i was afraid i might freak myself out again when i look back at the pic.

SO SCARY~

on the whole, i wouldnt say we 'wasted', but we spent about an hour at the museum.
oh my~ thats amazing! its an ACHIEVEMENT! *clap! clap! bravo!!*

we took the underpath where it led to Esplanade Mall, the huge durian-like building.

so thoughtful right?
good for pedestrians.

being the first day of raya,
there were alot of people crowding the whole area.

it was like a carnival day or something.
people were picnicking everywhere at every spot!
the atmosphere was memang very 'lau juak',

and everybody was happy.

singapore is a happy place.

after lunch, we walked around.
esplanade mall is similar to our Bangsar Shopping Complex.
it has a place like Actors Studio which holds all those mini life dramas and acts, at the same time, is a shopping complex altogether.

esplanade, from afar.
see the amount of people.

seriously, just look at the amount of people.

esplanade, upclose.

like durian or not?

later on, we headed to the most anticipated moment of the day...

The Merlion at Marina Bay.

seriously damn syiok wey~

i took damn alot of photos on the way there with the merlion in the background. what more when i reached right in front of her rite?

this is one pic of my parents, annie and her hubby,
with the merlion.

donno why i was so fascinated.

from there, we took another underpath which led to Fullerton Hotel.

the magnificent 5-star hotel,
previously the former General Post Office building.

we headed back to White Sands Shopping Center, back in Pasir Ris, to get some food for tea at another relative's place.

went back home for a while, and we headed to singapore's most famous shopping arcade, Orchard Road.

this whole stretch is orchard road.

so grand~

chanel

who could resist anything there?
if there is one thing which stops people from buying all those brands, its because they dont have the means. like me.

while walking around, i was shocked to see this!

people queueing up to go into LV.
???

i regretted not queueing up.

who knows, maybe there were discounts up to 95%?

anyway, too late.

we crossed under to Tang's, where i fell in love with Daniel Yam dresses and pretty shoes.

the bargain was so good, where we went home with our hands full of bags, and pockets half empty, sadly.

that's it, day 3.

to be continued...

today...

2008-10-06T23:51:00.002+08:00

i feel like showing off~

earlier i wrote a post about my finger kena cut rite?

well, i told my mom about it when she came back at 1pm.

i was like, "you know, i cut my finger."

and her reaction was, "haih~ -__-". you ar...."

i showed her my plaster-ed finger and replied, "because of that "thing" la! cut cut cut d then ter cut my finger. you all better finish up every single drop of the soup tonight regardless of what it tastes like."

i think she felt abit bad.

15 mins later, she said, "come let's go shopping la~"

so we went shopping at 1 utama!

dominic trying out his shades.
yeng or not?

haha~~

oh, and~ and~ and~~~~~~

we bought 11 pieces of clothing!!!!

7 from Arthur Yen~

and 4 from eden~

you tell me syiok or not?

so syiok leh~!!!

but when it came to paying, my mom's pocket kena burn d.

nvm la.

as long as its not my pocket can d.

but then leh, out of the 11 pieces...

only 2 are mine.

the rest are hers.

today she really shopped like crazy.

try this, "i'll take it."

try that, "i'll take it."

in the end, she was like, "you're only taking 2 pieces?"

and i was like, "ya mama, ya~"

so much for taking me shopping... -____-"

THE END

anyway, we got home in time for tea and feasted on...

cinnabon and vienna bagels.

it was my first time trying vienna bagels.
it's actually doughnuts.

very very HARD doughnuts.

and it SUCKED!

suicidal

2008-10-06T12:09:00.007+08:00

one reason why i hate to be in the kitchen is because...

i tend to injure myself all the time...

by accident.

today my mom called at 11am, and she told me to boil some soup for dinner.

biasalah, everything just throw inside only ma.

so i started cutting this thing, i dont know what you call it (donno, dont care, dont give a damn~), and all of a sudden, the knife cut into the skin of my index finger instead of that thing.

wah~

quite deep leh.

so by 11.10am, i got injured d.

-______________-"

first thing i did was wash the wound.

wash~ wash~ wash~

then i used tissue to wipe off the blood that was still oozing from the wound.

the whole tissue was soaked in blood.

ok la. no la.

there were alot of spots on the tissue la.

but quite alot of blood i lost there leh.

it was still bleeding, so i used the tissue and pressed on the wound.

"put pressure on the wound! put pressure on the wound!", heard that from somewhere before.

but then leh, i had no energy.

terkejut until no strength.

whole body became soft.

i pressed so hard oso didnt feel anything.

so i stopped pressing.

i took away the tissue, and i looked at the wound.

the skin can open abit.

really quite deep.

and there was still little blood coming out.

next thing i know, i started to cry.

i didnt know im so scared of all this.

really so scary okay!

when i think back of the time it just happened...

i think i can freak out and cry again.

waaaaa~ ='(

ma poor pwincess finger is hurt again~~

uniquely singapore - day 2

2008-10-05T23:09:00.000+08:00

okay.. back to the trip...

DAY 2

early morning, we headed to Bugis Street, a very big shopping mall.
we walked around BHG (which stands for Be Here for Good things) at Bugis Junction.

the things there are so nice. i fell in love with a stall selling necklaces from venice.
it was kinda pricey.

went to Vivo City after lunch, a shopping mall located in Harbour Front.

vivo

supposedly the biggest shopping mall in singapore
after bugis junction.

we walked around for a bit, and bought monorail tickets to Sentosa Island.

cable car

initially i wanted to sit the cable car instead of the monorail,
but didnt coz my mom scared me with the height and all.

why so serious?

well, the monorail was quick, and we reached there in a jiffy.

it was in the afternoon, and because it was so hot, we decided to tour around the island by tram first.

this is the tram.
there are 2 different trams which goes round 2 different beaches.
one goes to Palawan Beach,
and the other, Siloso Beach.

we took both.

they enjoyed sitting on the tram coz
it was so airy and there were nice sceneries.

siloso

i like this cube-like alphabets which spells 'siloso'.
its so huge.

this pair is bride and groom-to-be.
a photographer was seen taking scenic wedding photos of them.
we congratulated them when we passed by the second time.
haha~

on the way back,
my mom took a short nap and my dad posed along.

oh, and some foreigners, from korea i think,
opened their umbrellas in the tram
fearing they might melt in the sun.

later on, we took a bus, the yellow line, which goes round the frontal part of the island.

we passed by some interesting spots such as the Dolphin Lagoon, and most importantly, The Merlion, where we got down.

the merlion is a statue with the head of a lion and the body of a fish.

its comes from a combination of two words, 'mermaid' and 'lion'.

this photo i took for my parents turned out a little dark.

did you know i am very fascinated with the merlion?

well i am.

i dont know how many pictures i took with and of the merlion.

maybe about 30 altogether?

images of singapore

i think this is a museum.
we did not enter, and i dont think anyone entered as well.

we then walked to Tiger Tower nearby.

if im not mistaken, last time carlsberg advertised on it too.

we headed to the Skyride, where i managed to persuade my parents to ride with me.

i think my mom is afraid of heights. shhh~

walaueh, all the rides also they ask me to take alone. where got syiok?

we were very high up, and the view was breathtaking.

a hotel just by the seaside.

ships.

trees a plenty.

i found those houses on very high stilts so amusing.

i also spotted a peacock.

by the time we reached the bottom of the hill, the sun set.

my mom likes this photo.

the highlight of sentosa is, of course, Songs of the Sea.

when we entered the gates of the arena, then only i realised that those houses are within that compound.

i couldnt find it after i got down from the skyride.

the show time was 7.40pm, but the gates opened at 7.10pm.

everybody rushed in to get the best seats.

we got the best seats.

second row from the front, right in the center.

there you go. nice rite?

the sky gradually becoming darker.

the show opens with Li, a young man with a charming voice, who was singing with his friends when suddenly, the vision of a beautiful sleeping girl, Princess Amy appeared.

princess amy

she has been asleep for a long time.

Li meets a group of sea creatures and learns that Princess Ami is under the spell.

with the help of a tiger fish, Oscar, Li embarks on a dauntless quest to break the spell casted on Princess Ami.

they screened the characters on the screen made out of water.

Oscar

the cheeky fish.

Along the way, he encounters a few other creatures.

Lord Of Fire

where Li sang and the Lord of Fire gained back more fire.

Spirits of Light

Li sang again, and help her gain back her lost power.

Lady of the Sea

look closely and you can see the image of the lady very clearly.

Li sang and sang, and helped her gain back her strength.

of course it had a happy ending.

Princess Amy finally woke up and smiled.

the show ended with a parade of fireworks made out of water.

seriously water leh.

there were dancing fountains as well.

arent they so pretty?

the rhythm of the water and the lights were so beautiful.

all in all, the show was good and worth the money.

although i felt that 25 mins was a lil too short.

songs of the sea is an outdoor, rain or shine show.
this means that no matter what the weather, the show will go on.

if it rains, have to carry umbrella and watch lo...

we hopped on the next monorail back.

i was surprised to see that while everybody was rushing to get back to mainland, alot of people of people were still going to the island.

it was nearly 9pm.

at vivo, we had dinner and took the MRT back home.

but before that...

candy empire

we stopped by candy empire
where we bought an empire of candies and imported biscuits.

to be continued...

uniquely singapore - day 1

2008-10-04T17:05:00.000+08:00

before i forget...

Happy Belated Birthday

FERN!

not that i forgot, i just felt like wishing you again!

i hope you had a BLAST!!!

............................................................................

well, i just thought to myself, i should better get this post done and up once and for all.
or else i would have to start my entry with 'this is a very belated post... bla bla bla', like how i do when it comes to entries with alot of pics.

i just came back from my holiday.

arrived home early friday morning.

sob sob.

4 days 3 nights, in a blink of an eye, passed just like that.

unfortunately, we only have 24 hours a day.

it would be good if there was 48 hours a day.

anyway, i went on a train ride with...

my red kipling bag.

i also brought along with me...

mother superior and finance minister (he claims).

i've been dying to go on this long awaited holiday although this time it was impromptu.

we talked about it for one day, and decided to go, thanks to my endless pestering. all those saliva was worth it.

we went to SINGAPORE~

although i was sick, the trip must go on, rite?

the train was delayed by 1 hour, so we took some pics.

my mom and dad hiaoing.

i took 500+ photos, and these are some i'd love to share with u.

DAY 1

we bought the second class berth and arrived on monday morning, and uncle richard came to pick us up.

had breakfast, and headed to their home in Pasir Ris.

he prepared transit cards for us three.

ez link card.

this card can be used for all MRTs and buses.
in fact, it is cheaper using the card rather than paying cash.

upon reaching their place, we had our baths, and settled down.

uncle richard and family

my parents and them have been close friends for over 20 years.

they watched me grow up,
and my parents watched their kids grow up.

went for lunch at Pasir Ris West Plaza and had lunch.

vian (photo below) is studying in the kindergarten there.

my 2 buddies, jo felicity (jojo) and vian .

upon reaching home, we ended up falling asleep because we didnt sleep too well in the train.

evening came, and our first stop was Chinatown.

we walked around OG People's Park.

saw something nice, didnt buy it, went to have dinner, and headed to the roof.

it was all lighted up.

very pretty pink lanterns.

its similar to our chinatown, petaling street.

did you know there is a chinatown in most countries? well, its true.

a 'dewi', or goddess or something.

we came across this pretty building,
so i decided to put my photography skills to use.

haha...

it was getting late, and we quickly headed to Little India.

the whole road was lit up too...

deepavali

festival of lights.

we went for supper at a vegetarian restaurant, where we had some nice food.

bhattura
its like a super big balloon.
when it cools down, it becomes smaller.
my first time trying it.

me likey berry berry much~

paper thosai

super huge and long.

me also likey~

while crossing the road on the way back, i took this.

nice or not?
i took it when i was crossing the road leh.

at the MRT station, i spotted some very pretty art.

little goats (or isit buffaloes, or cows?)

there were others around but this one is the cutest.

reached home, mandi, and was totally knocked out the moment i hit the bed.

thats it, end of day 1.

to be continued...

a blogger's block

2008-09-28T12:20:00.008+08:00

i've been reading an "ex-blogger's" archive for a few days now.

i shall name him Mr ji pa bann. -______-"

Mr ji pa bann has since stopped blogging.

in his blog, he talks about himself being sissy, how he got cheated by his ex and friends, how broke he is, etc etc...

i found his entries rather entertaining, and some, very emotional.

it's nothing, he just talks about what happened in his daily life, the stories he found interesting, and he does write some beautiful poems!

oh btw, Mr ji pa bann, i've finished reading all your entries.

yea, all 392 posts.

its very unfortunate that you dont have the passion to blog anymore.

but hey Mr, i think you should continue blogging.

you are a good writer because reading through your blog, your jokes and happy stories made me laugh, and your sad and emotional stories made me tear...

how many writers can make their readers feel the way they really felt and experienced when writing something?

well, you did.

so Mr ji pa bann, Ms pink thinks you should continue doing the thing you do so well.

hope to see your next entry soon!

sincerely,
jenz

(p/s 1: when he starts blogging again, i'll post the link up for you guys.)
(p/s 2: dont ask me why the name 'Mr ji pa bann'. i just felt like it.)

pweety hurt pwincess hands

2008-09-26T20:47:00.007+08:00

i've had Princess-y fingers and fingernails for the longest time.

but today...
it became worse than a slave's.

look at THIS!

my skin is slightly sliced (if that's the right word to use).
can you see it?

even my nail on other fingers are a little chipped.

the skin on my middle finger got sliced too... and it even bled for a bit.

it's damn HORRIFIC!

and freaking PAINFUL!

do you know why i call them Princess-y fingers and fingernails?
because people always compliment me for my beautiful fingers and they say i have pretty fingernails.

now... no one will look at them anymore... ='(

it all started this morning.
i helped my mom skin the tapioca, and grated them soon after.

this is the grater.

whoa...
the first 5 mins still ok wan...

this is how sharp the grater is.

my skin accidentaly kena the grater the first time... followed by more and more times after that.

i sat in the kitchen from 11am till 5pm, helping my mom make this and that.
i've always hated to be in the kitchen, and today i voluntarily helped out.

and i totally regretted it.

SIX FREAKING HOURS and now...

i have a back ache.

i have a sore hand.

my poor Princess-y fingers are hurt.

this is not supposed to happen to Princesses...

i seriously need a massage~

honestly, i VOLUNTEERED to help my mom out this time leh... with all my heart and soul, ya know~
i hardly ever want to help.

and the end result is this...

tiu nia sing.

you tell me you pissed off or not?

so much for being an obedient daughter.

nonetheless, me and my mom had alot of things to talk about la...

from studies,
to bf,
to future,
to gossips,
and a hell lot more.

it was a bonding time between mother and daughter, as well as a heart to heart talk between 2 women.

so it was not so bad after all.

love love,
jenz

me gusto comida mexicana

2008-09-20T22:22:00.010+08:00

...which means "i love mexican food".

and this time, i just came back from mexico.

las carretas

i had wanted to go there for the longest time,
and this evening, i finally did.

the place was very mexican-like, and it was messily comfortable with photos and decorations aplenty.

so chili-like. in chili's, they have a huge chili hanging from the ceiling. over in las carretas, they have tobasco sauce hanging. =D

also there were the usual mexican hat and the very familliar piece of cloth i've seen somewhere in movies.

antojitos
which means appetizers

tortilla fritas

deep fried corn chips to be dipped with salsa.

just like how i love dipping my chacho's.

entradas tradicionales
which means traditional mexican main courses

chimichanga

crisp fried tortilla bursting with plenty of cheese, chicken, and topped with enchilada sauce guacamole and sour cream.

super amazing! SUPER DUPER!

tortilla wrap el j. p. monteiro

rolled warm flour tortilla stuffed with sliced charbroiled skinless chicken thigh, garlicky mayonnaise, crisp romaine lettuce, relish accompanied with salsa, mexican rice and beans.

super. SUPERB

postres
which means dessert

flan de coco

sweet mexican custard with coconut flavour served with caramel and a dash of whipped cream.

super sweet. SUPER NICE!

beverage

which means beverage. duh~

virgin margarita

super duper sour mocktail which was very challenging when drinking. unless you sipped, you wouldnt be able to drink as much.
nonetheless, it was neither a bad nor awful drink.

the food was undeniably good and i would love to go there again soon.

you should go try it too!

the new pink

2008-09-20T18:13:00.005+08:00

so how is my NEW and FULL-BLOWN PINK layout?

took up alot of my time to do up this thing.

and still... im not really satisfied.

anyway, updates later.

post of entertainment - part 2

2008-09-17T12:26:00.002+08:00

this is a continuation of my post of entertainment entry.

some parts of this blog were earlier written when i was still in genting.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

in the first 2 weeks,
i was already given an opportunity to go for 4 major events,
not to mention the other small ones.

club elite's first anniversary @ Club Elite

that was a private event, and is a 'by invitation only' event.

to some who may not know,
club elite is actually located somewhere IN genting highland's resort
and is only exclusive for genting's platinum card holders
and other specially selected guests.

the first anniversary was, of coz,
very high end.

because it is a casino event,
there were very very sexy models wearing very little cloth modeling
(such as bunny suites and swimming naughtily)
and performing for the VVIPs.

now thats not something we can often see
or hear of in malaysia, rite?

only permitted photographers are allowed to take photos during the event.

is that cool or what?
i mean, although i am a straight woman,
but, i was REALLY fascinated to see such ladies performing
right in front of my eyes~
@@
-air liur meleleh-

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

guang liang's concert @ Arena of Stars

the concert was ok.

it wasnt exactly full house in the arena of stars,
but it was nice seeing all the young gals going crazy over him.

im not actually a big fan of his,
coz i only know one song,
and its obviously "tong hua (fairytale, rite?)",
and i obviously got influenced by STANLEY, the policeman. *^_^*

i didnt stay long because my leg was hurting,
and it was getting a little boring for me after his 4th-5th song.

genting slots spring festival @ Genting International Showroom

it is yet another casino event,
a very grand one,
but not so grand compared to club elite's first anniversary.

the guests played the slots while having dinner,
and gosh, the bonus was BIG!!!

there was even the very FAT and CUTE choi san yeh hanging around.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

jacky cheung's concert @ Arena of Stars

all tickets were COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.

i wondered why everyone was dying to go to his concert,
and now i do know the reason.

it was indeed a good one,
but i didnt stay long coz im also not a very big fan of his.
i didnt even know a single song he sang there,
but he does have alot of fans,
coz there were people of all ages there.

he is a real good dancer.

very girlish and kinky throughout the show,
and that kept his audience entertained.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

million stars concert (xing guang bang)

jimmy designed this poster.
how cool is that?

anyway, we got tickets to go this one at the very last minute.

it was not bad, and personally,
i think its better than guang liang's concert.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

international jazz festival

im not exactly a jazz person,
but this festival wasnt too bad.

in fact, it was darn good for everyone else who was there.

imagine.
live music, in a somewhat concert atmosphere,
plus cigarettes, and beer.

chun rite?

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

dreamz

i went for this like... 3 times?

first time, was the sneak preview.

second, at the media conference.

third, with veekin.

most people,
like jimmy, hui teing (2 of them is considered 'most' d la)
didnt enjoy it.

myself, on the other hand, was very entertained.

that's why go 3 times oso don mind.

the colors of their costumes were very flamboyant and striking.
the acrobatic troop and the death globe was the best.
oh btw, the white lion is real, and very beautiful.

the magic, however,
was a huge disappointment.

our 2 pics for u to laugh at.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

thai songkran water festival @ highland carpark

i designed the shirt for this event.
from time to time, when i go yum cha, i will wear that shirt out.
coz im so proud of myself.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

at the moment, those are some events that i can remember now.

cant think of any d.

oh yea... my parents went for 'kenny g' concert too.
thanks to bee lian for getting me those tickets.

all who went said it was awesome!

apart from that, i managed to get tickets for melody to go watch 'the click 5',
thanks to bee lian again, but that melody woman FFK me in the end.
so all 5 tickets went to jack.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

the last 2 nights we had in genting was a very memorable one.

we went to the theme park.

my ticket
i havent been there in a while.
didnt get to play much coz it was raining and all.

uswe got a room,
and chatted as well as played cards throughout the night.

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

anyway, below are some random pics i took in genting.

cny deco
escalators all lighted up!

motorcycles
in green, orange, and yellow.
there's another in blue.

rainbow
which simply beautifies the already-beautiful view.

chatters
this is true.
they were all on the phone at the same time.
i asked them to stand together so that i could take a pic.
and they did.

=)

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

the story of the other person

once upon a time,
there was a girl named pig wa aka sien sien de.

should or should not, she thought to her self.

"should i try it or not?", she asked.
"will it help me release stress?
will i look cool?

will i get addicted?" , were the few other questions she asked.

aiyah, heck it la.
if im not doing it for myself,
at least im doing it for the camera.

THE END~~

»-(¯`v´¯)-» »-(¯`v´¯)-»

anyway, before i end,
i just wanna post this pic up...

love ya lots,

what's for cooking?

2008-09-16T17:08:00.002+08:00

this one, as usual, is a SUPERB-ly belated post.

it was an occasion i celebrated with veekin sometime mid august.

well, what occasion? im sure you might be able to guess la...

as usual, my entries, are mostly made up of food, food, food, food, and more food.

in every 3-4 entries, sure there's 1 post about food wan.

so, i've blogged about thai, korean, japanese, italian, and vietnamese food the last time.

now, we're going german.

it was that night, we went to have our very first german meal together.

logenhaus

located somewhere in taipan usj.

speisen und getränke

which means 'food and beverages'.

in the mean time, i took some photos of the ambience.

its very simple and traditional,
with only a few decorations.

logenhaus, however, was particularly empty compared to the other restaurants around.

appetizer

garlic bread

our entree was the complimentary garlic bread.

soup

french onion soup gratinee

baked with cheese and crouton.

hungarian goulash

a stew of beef, paprika and a lot of herbs in the most traditional recipe.

main course

beef steak

mignon beef steak wrapped with beef bacon and grilled with perfection.
topped with german garlic herbs and spices.

roasted chicken

original logenhaus oven roasted half chicken with peppercorn sauce.
served with pan fried potatoes.

dessert

espresso croquant

croquant = crispy texture
croquer = to munch

rum and raisin

we could really taste the rum in there.

so that was it.

personally, i didnt like the place very much.

the food was just ok. nothing to shout about.

we didnt plan to go to logenhaus actually.

i was looking out for las carretas mexican restaurant & bar.
i got the address and all, went there, couldnt find it, and ended up in logenhaus.

came home and googled for the address again, only to find that it has shifted one row behind the old place.

damn~

'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'

the next day, we headed to our usual spot, sunway pyramid.

next, we're going middle-east.

tarbush

no idea what that means.
tried to google it, but nothing came up.

the entree
was lebanese bread served with pickle.
i didnt like the pickle.
not one bit.
the taste was so so so weird.

briyani
biryani rice done the middle eastern way,
steamed with herbs and spices,
served with a half baked chicken .

THAT WAS THE BEST!

i've never tasted malaysian briyani as good as this.

tarbush mixed grill

a mouth-watering medley of
grilled arayes, shish tawook, shish kebab and lamb cubes.

soursop blend

it different from the ones we've tasted.
this is the nicest.

arabic tea

I HATED IT!
but only at first.
it was mint tea and the taste was very akward.
but after drinking it for a while, it was damn nice~
oh, and the cup is so mini, the height is about half my palm.

cute rite~

very pretty table

decorated with tiles.

the food was amazing.

i didnt know middle-eastern food tasted so good! seriously!

i get all excited when i think back!

'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'

next, we go back to where we've been before, italy.

italiannies

one of my favourite-st!

meet joanne

who was there wit me...

we were rushing to hand up our assignment that day,
but we stopped by for lunch.
you can see papers scattered over the table.

angel hair pomodoro

angel hair pasta
with chopped red tomatoes
with garlic
and light tomato basil sauce.

2 of us shared that humongous plate.

we were more than satisfied when we cleared up that plate.
it was SO. DAMN. GOOD!

cappucino

the coffee-addict joanne's cup of caffeine.

cappucino pie

a rich layer of frozen coffee,
liqueur and vanilla ice cream
on oreo crumb crust,

served with chocolate sauce.

joanne walloped the chocolate sauce DRY.

the view from our table

i love long long curtains.
long windows.
long as in length.

it's just so MAJESTIC~!

'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'.".'

next, we head on to jaya one in petaling jaya..

i dont know where it originated from, but i guess it must be thailand too.

the concept is so bbq-plaza alike.

fireman bbq

sory no logo.

this is where we sat.
japanese style.

i was very excited about sitting there.
but it got all hot and sweaty after some time.

next, i'll let the photos do the talking,
and you be the judge to see if it is really like bbq-plaza.

the set of meat

my favourite is bacon.

the rice

the presentation of the rice is definitely better than bbq plaza's.

the sauce

twin sauce.
dont know which one to choose from sometimes!

the lard and the stove or kuali or whatever you call it.

where the oil comes from.

the soup area for this stove
is deeper than the one in bbq plaza's.

the green tea

no i dont come together with the set...
haha.

ok.

not funny.

so the final verdict?

in terms of food, the taste of the soup = bbq plaza WINS!

in terms of service, and ambience = fireman WINS!

so its a win-win situation.

oh and not forgetting,

there was a show for us to watch while we were feasting.

meet fireman

now you know why the place is called fireman bbq.

liar liar

donno wat he doing to his butt.

pants on fire

look at the fire on his butt!!

joker.

so its mid autumn festival day today.

i dont usually say it in such a formal way.
normally, its just plain 'mooncake festival'.

anyway,
we had a small family dinner yesterday,
and i have yet to get the photos from ma sis.

mooncake fest ma,
must celebrate wit family.

and after exam today,
went out for a meal wit ma buddies too.

teing and jimmy

eric and fern
just a simple get-together.
where we crapped about some gossips, politics, wu liao stuff, etc.

mooncake fest ma,
must celebrate wit buddies.

so...

mooncake festival is nothing without mooncakes rite?

we received 5 boxes this year.

4 boxes of 4 mooncakes each,
and one box of 5.

thats a hell lot of mooncakes...

especially for someone like me who ~~never~~ doesnt like mooncakes at all.

surprising?

in all these years,
I AM the only person i know who doesnt like mooncakes.

anyway, this post is only going to be this long today,
coz miss pink jenz gotta get some sleep.

so...

HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL EVERYONE~

oh btw,
is there anyone else like me who doesnt like mooncakes?

lotsa love,

mere distractions

in one of the four corners of my room,

lie these.

its nothing.
just a white cupboard full of junk,
a brown shelf full of more junk,
and a wall shelf full of more more junk.

but lo and behold, beware!

this white cupboard is nothing other than...

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL!

here i am... tryin to focus...
and everything in that white cupboard keeps distracting me!

that pink psp!

that pink nintendo!

that pink camera!

that silver ipod!

that silver lappie!

that black hp!

even the mirror!

the slightest and smallest things are
so distracting!

and it happens only during exam season!

DAMN~

for my exam?!

my exams are starting tomoro, so i wont be bloggin until friday i guess..

anyway, i'm currently msn-ing and writing this post using my mobile phone, and this is mainly because im too lazy to switch on the laptop.

from the way i look at it, this post is surely gonna be boring, because i cant bold, italic or paint my words with color. also, there's no html tab.
but its not too bad, cos im feelin lazy now anyway.

stay tuned if you wanna know how this works.
