KLCC, home of the 'ah mohs'

I practically spent the whole morning and afternoon in KLCC yesterday with Mel, Wi Yee and Yap. We walked for hours, and only stop for lunch. I thought my knee joints would dislocate, and the sole of my feet was extremely weared out.
However all the long hours of excruciating walks did pay off; i managed to buy the almost perfect jeans from Giordano, after trying out almost 50 pairs of jeans from various shops!! Its sounds unbelievable, but the 3 buddies that tagged along can witness to it hehe.
It was a tremendously tedious task to just find a pair of jeans for me. I blame it on the big bootie that i have; inherited from my mother side, and the muscular thighs too; which resulted from all the intense bball training (the worst part is, we didnt even win the tournament - lost to HELP, and not to mention; my ex-college *boo hoo).
Well i cant 'kam fei' my bootie away, since its genetic and due to my hip bones. Unless, i saw it off? haha..
I just have to be thankful that i have a bootie :)
I bought a polo t-shirt too and a pair of flip flops (in malaysian term, its simply called a se-li-par! ehe).
Wanted to shop for more, but was too reluctant to use more of my money. I rather spend it on good food! :D
Reached home exactly at 5pm, and i could barely walk anymore. Standing in the LRT all the way home, aggravated the pain and sores.
Shssh..i sound like an 'ah mah' hehe
All in all, it was a good trip to KLCC; my eyes gladly feasted on all the handsome 'ah mohs' hehe. I think i'll shop more in KLCC haha...Trix will definitely enjoy it too.
Wi Yee and Yap made me repeat their conversations; they assumed i wasnt listening, just because my gaze were fixed on an 'ah moh' ehe. So terrible la ur guys haha
When i was home, mum nagged at me for not buying slacks for work. I totally forgot about it. I'll just have to make do with the 2 pairs that i have, and hopefully i can wear jeans - since the chemist said i could wear anything suitable for lab work.
*sigh.. work starts tmr. Too soon, too soon.

Table for Three?? Yes pls..

If you're a huge fan of dramas that are filled with loveeee, passssssion, decccceit, betrayaaaal and even murrrrrder -like me hehe; you wouldnt want to miss out on the chronicles of Table For Three.

And did i mention, the cast of Desire : Table For Three are smoking hot!! Yes yes, both the male and female cast haha.

The 3 main cast; Zack Silva, Michelle Belegrin and Nate Hayden (my personal favourite :p)

The drama is basically about the Thomas brothers; Louis which is played by the hottie actor Nate Hayden, and Zack Silva (from Days of Our Lives) as the-also-quite-hottie named Alex Thomas. The brothers fall head over heels for an extremely gorgeous Andrea Zavatti; the daughter of an awfully wealthy restaurateur which is played by actress Michelle Belegrin. Hence war wages between the two brothers, and the real drama begins! hehe

This drama also evolves around the ups and downs of the Thomas family, including the mafias!! hehe; its filled with bitter-sweet scenarios in life, thus it is surely worth watching.


So what are you waiting for? Get the popcorn cooking, and get comfy on the sofa on this specific days for the screening of Table For Three!

Starts on the 6th of Nov at 9 pm (2 hours premiere) on Star World, Astro.
Every Monday to Friday, 10pm.
Tuesday to Saturday, 1.30 pm and 5pm (from Nov 7 onwards)

Sunday at 10pm and, Monday at 1.30pm & 5pm for the recaps.

The other cast includes Sofio Milos ( from CSI:Miami), Al Bandiero, Chris Derose, Tomy Dunster and Kelly Albanese (from Monk).

I so cant wait !! hehe.


The extravagant and talented cast of Desire : Table for Three.

Randomness

I woke up exactly at 6.30am, hoping that my parents would have arrived home from the airport.
Unfortunately they're not, and its just few minutes to 7am.
Most probably their flight has been delayed, or there's traffic jam somewhere haha...just joking.
There's nothing much to do around this time; not a single soul is online, my email box is empty; as always, and actually, there's nothing to blog about.
Since i do not want to disappoint my loyal blog readers, hence here's a very random post; which i must warn you, because this post might not make any sense at all.

Simillarly to my friend Jo, ive being having sleepless night too.
I used to wake up as early as 7pm every morning, however it has worsen; im waking up at arond 6 something every day now.
I wouldnt blame you, if you were to label me a freak haha.
Im uncertain if this is due to my new and improve 11pm bedtime (it used to be 1 or 2am), or its matters pertaining to the heart.
Its mostly likely the latter.
I do not know how to put it into words. Ive always been a better speaker than a writer, and its a rather complicating situation; emotions are involved.
Ive no intention of writing an emo-ness post, it will clearly ruin the rest of the day; not only for me, but for you readers too.
Thus i'll just toss all those emo-ness aside, and set my heart on things that will make me happy.
I dont want my parents to get back, and have me looking all grumpy and fuzzy hehe

Anywayz the post ends here; my parents are back!! Weeeee!!!!

One U trip pictures


My mischievous grin hehe. I was the driver for the day. I got to drive my daddy's avanza wahaha
But do not fear, im an excellent driver hehe

We took some pics while waiting for another friend.


Im a terrible poser. Do they have 'posing' classes around? hehe


Yap, the only guy that i know who enjoys shopping with a bunch of girls :p
We had to Q-up for lunch; Vietnamese food. So while waiting, we took more pics haha

We continued waiting..but with smiles on our faces :)

After 10 mins or so, they finally had a place for us, and the waiting continued..
lalalalala.....

Waiting with a hungry stomach seems forever.. i guess there were lots of hungry ppl yesterday haha



Yum Yum.. hehe..it was worth the wait

A good day

The five of us; Wi Yee, Yap, Melissa, Mel's friend; Li Lian (i hope thats the right spelling :p) and i went for a shopping spree in OU (One Utama). However, we ended up buying hardly anything lolx. We practically bought nothing! We tried on lots of clothings, but bought none except for Yap - a pink t-shirt! hehe

I tried on a few blouses and dresses that i fancied, but it w
as a lil too pricey. Anywayz i'll be going up to KL next monday with the 'gang' again to do a lil 'baju' shopping before my internship begins, and since mum and dad will be already back home ~ ive the freedom to finally enjoy myself - a lil hehe.
Hopefully i'll get better bargains in KL.

We took quite a few pictures in OU, but ive not receive them from Yap yet. I'll upload it as soon as i get my hands on it.

As a whole, i had a really good time. My legs are hurting real badly from all the walking, but it was worth it. Even though i had to wake up exceptionally early this morning to prepare lunch for my sisters, the sacrifice was worth it.


I got home a lil too late to prepare dinner, so i bought home sushi for my sisters hehe. I hope it was enough, but no worries - there's still spaghetti left from lunch :)

My youngest sister's b'day is this coming wednesday, and she has requested macaroni and cheese. Does anyone has suggestions on where to get really good macaroni and cheese, around PJ?

To the baby of the family; Happy 12th B'day CARMEN FRA
NCES YANG YOKE YEE! :)

The Five Love Languages

My primary love languages are probably
Acts of Service and Quality Time.

Complete set of results

Acts of Service:
10
Quality Time:
10
Physical Touch:
5
Words of Affirmation:
4
Receiving Gifts:
1


Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

what to do? what to do?

The final semester of the year with its exams, has finally ended.
The holidays are here, but they'll be gone soon - in a flash!
My internship will begin shortly, and the 8 to 5 pm work routine - will follow.
Im emotionally confused, yet excited.
And i guess you can blame the hormones for it.
There are many plans i have in mind, but due to responsibilities left behind by my parents; they'll be leaving for missions in India tmr, hence ive
to for-go some of the plans.
To the CF-ers, im sorry that i wont be able to join you guys for a water fun-filled-time in Sunway Lagoon. There's always next time right? :)
To my uni friends, i'll do my best to accompany you guys when your down in PJ.
Even though ive to sacrifice almost all my semester breaks; since my parents always choose those specific times to go for mission trips, ive learned to fret less and be more understanding.
On top of that, my parents are leaving to do G
od's work -hence, its an honour to be a part of it - because they've entrusted me to take good care of my lil sisters.
Though some might find the whole situation unfair o
r bias, i find it otherwise.
No sacrifice that ive made, can ever be compared to the sacrifices that my parents have had made for me.

I'll be cinderella for one week. Well, minus the apron and the head scarf lolx

I got it!!

Yups, i got the internship in Permulab!!
Well i just want to thank God for His favour, the fly for the contact no., and to the rest for your constant support and prayers.
Hmm..looks like i owe you guys a whole lot huh? hehe..
I guess your better start praying again; that i'll get some allowances, hence i can belanja ur makan as a small token for your kindness hehe.

My God is great!

When circumstances around were just starting to ease off, a great violent storm hit me hard and brought everything that surrounded me to the ground.

It broke my spirit, and my heart stopped beating.

In less than 3 days, i was overwhelmed with endless disappointments. Some was due to my own doing, while others were just not in my control. One of it was concerning my internship application to HUKM. I received a letter stating that my application has been rejected, with the reason that they preferred local uni students.

I was devastated, and i felt a great sense of hopelessness. Studying was even made more difficult, and with my finals only a day away - i felt more discouraged.

But God interwind and He changed everything around. He reminded me of His greatness and Psalm 37, which spoke about trusting and hoping in the Lord.

The song titled 'How great is our God' by Chris Tomlin, kept playing in my head.

I guess i forgot about God's greatness; He is greater than my anxieties, my fears, my doubts, my troubles, and certainly greater than this world.

Later in the afternoon, i saw a good friend of mine online; i asked her if she had gotten a job for co-op, and she did. She then offered the companies contact no. to me, knowing that i was still unemployed.

I was a little hesistant to call, but i did-anyway.

To my surprise, they were looking for another intern.
Right on the spot, they arranged an interview with me this Friday at 10am.
The company is less than 5 mins away from home, i truly hope that i will be accepted as an intern there.

Please pray for me; that everything will run smoothly and that God's favour will be with me.
It is definitely good news for me, even though it is only an interview.
I believe it is God's doing, and i believe that i will get the internship.
I have faith; faith in my God.

Psalm 37

Psalm 37

3: Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

4: Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

5: Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.

6: He shall bring fourth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

7: Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him....

8: Cease anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret-it only causes harm.

9: ....But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.

Some time back during my devotion, i came across these verses.
I was feeling very bitter, inpatient and wretch because everything i did or said at that particular time seemed wrong.
I felt lost, and sometimes i still do.
I was discontented with life, and was eagerly striving to find out my purpose on earth.
But these verses gave me hope and liberty, in ways that i cannot even explain.
Hence, i would like to share them with you and i pray that it'll impact your life, just like it did for me.

L-O-V-E

LOVE...is an amazing feeling, isnt it?
Love is truly an indescribable feeling, and a delightful one- indeed.
I would trade anything in this world to be love, and to be able to love in return.
Even though, hearts might be broken and tears might be shed because of love; i would still yearn to taste the wonders and bitterness that love brings.
Yes, love has reap me of temporary happiness before..
and yes, love has left me in despair before..
Yet i refused to stop loving..
I would never exchange this feeling for anything else.
Its one of the greatest gift that God has given to me.
Thus, i will never stop loving.

silly hope

I made a terrible mistake by saying those 3 words.
I knew nothing good could come out of it; i knew the consequences, and the non existent possibility of anything to happen.
I shouldnt have lingered on, but instead run as far as my feet could take me.
Yet i stayed on, knowing that i was approaching the danger zone.
How silly can i be?
Ive made the similar mistakes, time and time again.
I truly yearn for this cycle to end.
I desperately want it to end.
Though there was no obvious expectations, but deep in my heart- a ray of hope was visibly present.
I believe hope is what sustain us daily, and somehow i will always continue to hope; even when all seem frail.

The kegila-ness in me

The final exam is just next week, but im still taking it easy.
Must pray for God's conviction, cause i truly doubt that i'll be really studying any time soon *tee hee.
I guess the holiday syndrome has sunk into me, and thats bad; very bad!!
What can i do to boost my enthusiasm and momentum to study?
Even though there's a sense of desperation and urgency in me to study, however putting it into action seems almost impossible.
Its like the siren is sounding 'wee-woo-wee-woo', but the fireman has not even started up the engine.
Haih..maybe i just need a real hard knock on the head, and i'll come back to my senses haha..
Seriously, if that method works- bring it on!
Just not too hard, cause i dont want to end with a concussion.

Im actually more concern about my hair!! My goodness!
Ive been contemplating on whether to rebond my hair, and till today i still am.
For the guys sake, rebond or rebonding is similar to straightening la..haha..Umm, in terms of hair la..
Can you imagine, im more worried about my hair than the final!!
When i told this matter to a few of my classmates, they thought i went 'koo-koo'.
"Wei exam coming la..why you fidgeting with your hair now?! You so keng ade izzit?"
Haha..yalar, maybe i feel that im too 'keng' or am overly confident.
However i'll still study la..dont your worry la..hehe
Cause you reap, what you sow.
So must study!! Gambateh! lolx.
Haih...i sound like an orang gila only..

On the other hand, i called up the co-op department yesterday to ask if they've found me a job, and to my surprise; they said they've assigned me to HUKM, Cheras.
Its not 100% confirmed, but it is most likely.
Im genuinely thankful for God's favour.
Even though, i was hoping to work somewhere nearer to home.
Im still waiting and praying that i'll get a reply from the 6 letters that i'd sent out.
Well, good things come to those that wait...thus, im still waiting.

In each heart

In each heart,
There are stories to be told.

In each heart,
There are songs to be sung.

In each heart,
There are worries that need to be removed.

In each heart,
There are prayers to be made.

In each heart,
There are secrets that need to be revealed.

In each heart,
There are sadness to erase.

In each heart,
There are wounds that need to be mend.

In each heart,
There are lies that need to be undone.

In each heart,
There are wrongs that need to be corrected.

In each heart,
There's a cry to be set free.

In each heart,
There are vows that need to be renewed.

In each heart,
There are sins that need to be forgiven.

In each heart,
There's a need for Jesus Christ.

Busy me

Went up to uni today, hoping to complete the final assignment for the final semester of the year, BUT as always, we ended up chatting more than we should hehe.

Ive another paragraph to go, but its taking FOREVER! I guess procrastination is the main culprit here hehe.

Wanted to stay back to have lunch with a few CF-ers, but my stomach was cramping too much that i couldnt stand it any longer, thus i head back home.

On the contrary, today is my eldest sis's b'day. She'll be turning 23, but i keep telling ppl 22!! lolx

Gosh! I think somewhere in my brain, there's a lose nut that needs lots of tightening haha. I assume as you age, everything goes haywire up there lolx.

Would love to continue on blogging, but we're having a small party for my sis today. Hence there's plenty of preparation that needs to be done. I'll be exceptionally busy this whole afternoon; chopping, marinating, cooking etc..the list goes on.

I hope my tummy will be alright soon, kind of difficult to carry out errands when it aches terribly!

Oh, before i forget... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARITY YANG YUNG YEE!!!! Muahahaha

*Cha, I'll bayar my hutang (present) later yah? hehehe*

Home

Sometimes i feel out-of-place, as if ive been misplaced.
Growing up in a rather small town, and then having to leave the only place which i used to call home, was tremendously difficult.
Friends said that the city would be a better place, but i'd always thought otherwise.
Even though my perspective changed, my heart was still back 'home'.
I guess i was too comfortable being where i was, till my heart refused to leave with me.
Though ive been living in this so-called great city for 4 years now, there's still an urge to head back 'home'.
Many might questioned, 'What's so great about this small town?'.
Honestly speaking, there is nothing great about it.
However it was a place that i could call home; one that held all my memories and its also a part of me.
Maybe one day i'll be able to call this 'great city' my home.
With my Lord Jesus, family and ol' friends still beside me, and many new great friends that ive got to know; it is possible to call this 'great city' - Home.

Who I Am

Who I Am by Jessica Andrew
If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

So when I make a big mistake
And when I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowing
I will be just fine
Cause nothing changes who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser; I'm a winner
I am steady and unstable
I'm young, but I am able

*boo hoo

I managed to sent out all my internship application letters last monday, to be specific; 6 letters!
One to each company; Dutch Lady, Dumex, Malaysia Milk Sdn Bhd (Vitagen), Campbell, Premier Milk and Food Specialities.
Im praying that i'll at least receive a reply from a company, hopefully by the end of this week or the following week.

On the contrary, im feeling a lil blue. I think im falling ill again, but i do not wish to be. Since ive a mid-term this coming friday, and ive not completed revising *boo hoo

I think i'll go take a nap now, and i hope that i'll wake up feeling a 100 times better =)

The ups and downs

My attempts of wanting to slim down, which will enable me to fit into my size 25 Giordano jeans and khakis has been DISASTEROUS!
Instead of losing, ive been putting on!! Its every girl's nightmare, unless you've been planning to gain weight *tee hee.
The 2 pairs of jeans and khakis are still at its best condition, and their super comfortable.
Most girls would understand what im blogging about, cause i know most of you guys would probably be already lost lolx.
It is tremendously difficult to find the perfect pair of jeans or even khakis!!
It takes a whole lifetime to find the ONE lolx.
Fine, im exaggerating a lil but you've no idea how high and low ive searched for the perfect fit.
Hence when i started putting on about 2 years back, i never knew it could be so HARMFUL!
Currently, im like size ** and its going to take lots of time and discipline to be able to slip into the pants again.
At times, i wonder if its ever possible to get back to my former glory lolx.
If im not mistaken, people have this theory that as you grow in age, your appetite for food will decrease.
C'mon ppl, dont try to mess with me lolx.
Im very certain that its just a myth and nothing more, because im a living proof that it isnt true. Seriously.

Oh well, my future seems bleak in this specific area and if i never achieve my 25 inch waist again, i guess its alright...
Err..its not like ive a choice right? lolx
But i do hope to lose a few kilograms..haha..okok...not jus a few..maybe 10 kg? lolx
Hmm..hopefully it'll be successful, since im a nutritionist-to-be lolx.
Anywayz, enough of all that. Dont want to bore your to death hehe

The trip down to klang was fantastic, did lots of catching up; not only with friends but even FOOD! Wahahaha..
I miss my hometown Klang. Even though its less than an hour from PJ, yet it feels like im living miles away.
Had lots of fun with Trix, Sunnie and Ade; we made brownie waffles for breakfast, ate lots of asam laksa (homemade yum yum!), went window shopping and a movie (The Devil Wears Prada-its a chick flick but its absolutely comical, and i LIKE it!), and mamaking (finally, Modern's maggi mee goreng with fried chicken..*drools) lolx ..
Btw joanna, im not trying to tempt you lolx ...You'll be back from Aust sooner than you know, and i'll take you to Modern lolx.

Overall, i had an awesome time. It would have been almost perfect if you Jo, was around =)

The weekend is over, and ive tones of things to worry about.
Need to start writing my resume, and MUST send it out by Tuesday -the latest!
I trusted the Uni to find a placement for my internship which will take place in nov and dec, but till today, ive not received a phone call from a HR Manager.
Thus im getting a lil panicky, but i trust that God will make a way =)

AMEN!!
