Remedy

In search of medication to my 2 week old cough, I tried googling. Where are all these online drug stores when you need em!?

*Think of the tablets I have*. I have tablets called Clarinase. Google..What are they for? Argh. They are for hay fever. *throw aside*. I have Mucosolvan, I bought em during Xmas when I was back in Malaysia and sick for a week. I googled. OMG. OMG. OMG. THEY ARE FOR COUGH! Cough with phlegm! I thought they were for flu! I took em when I was having flu! Gosh. I was so happy I went running down with em and showing em to my Ma. I'm stil happy, because finally remedy for my cough! -_- I've only got 6 tablets though...2 days... I need to import!

I'm not feeling very well now. I'm so sleepy. I've been awake since 4 am but when I lie down I'm not sleepy and I cough continuously I just can't sleep. I still need to go to work. I'm SLEEPY! I haven't been sleeping well for ages! My cough is extreme. Wanna hear something gross? I cough till I vomit. I cough non stop. I sound like a non stop barking dog when I'm at work. I sound very pleasant. I'm not a noise pollution because my boss hasn't asked me to stay home.

I'm so sleepy. Sigh. Sleepy! How to survive a boring day at work? Eat. Get fat. Sleepy -_-"

Sleep

I want to. But I can't. When I lie down, I cough. When I cough, I can't sleep. It's annoying.

I think I'm gettin quite tanned from the sun. At least I don't look pale and green. Less than 3 months, I'm flyin! I shouldn't be counting the days because it would pass slower but can't help it. I'm excited.

I'm thinking whether I should try writing for What's Your Lurve Affair bloggers competition. Sounds, interesting. I've always been too lazy to participate, but I could do with the grand prize, Macbook Pro! I've got an idea of what to write... but I've got no confidence. I don't think I'm creative enough. There are so many creative bloggers out there and they put in lotsa effort. hmm... should I?!!?!

I'll sleep and think about it.

MJ Rip

The whole world knows about it. I knew about it when I saw baby's personal message on Facebook. It was real. I couldn't believe it. I immediately Googled to read about what happened. He is the same age as my dad. Younger by a month actually. It is really sad to hear about deaths at young ages like this and especially sad when everyone has been looking forward to his concerts and new album. How unpredictable life can be.

MJ, I'm sure you've read by now have touched millions of people around the globe with his songs, young and old. I am part of the generation that has been listening to his songs since I was a little girl. My mom grew up in his generation. So many songs of his that I really loved. So many songs that helped me in the process of growing up. So many songs that brings back memories. Songs that I've enjoyed screaming my lungs out with, breaking eardrums and glasses and jumping around with like a chimpanzee or worse a person with 2 left feet. Embarassment? What's that?

But I guess, all I can say now is thank you for the music that you've shared with us and may you rest in peace. Even with all the bad news that has been reported, you will always be known for your music. You are the king of pop. You are a legend. You are the one and only Michael Jackson.

Sauna

in Victoria line tube. Seriously, I've got very bad luck today. I thought I was not gonna make it to Victoria station on time to pass Lucy the surprise for my boyfriend. Lucy is going back to Malaysia today. I've still got, 3 months! *patience*

I had 2 choices, 1 to use the circle line to travel to Victoria station which would take about 25 minutes and 2 to use the Metropolitan, Circle or Hammersmith and City line to King's Cross and take the Victoria line to Victoria station which would take about 15 minutes. To save 10 minutes, I chose option 2 and ended up stuck in the train from between Green Park and Oxford Circus which was only 1 station away from Victoria station for 50 minutes! Of all days, today! I've not been stuck in a train for that long. Everyone was trying to fan themselves while some sat on the floors. We were sweltering in the heat. When the train started moving, everyone clapped and cheered as if someone scored a goal in football.

Lucy was suppose to take the 5 pm bus (he told me yesterday) and I arrived at 5.05 pm. He said I made him miss the train when I called and told me to meet him at the Coach station instead of Mc D's which I had no idea where it was. I ran 10 minutes all the way to the Coach station. I was TOMATO RED, and dead tired. He wasn't there yet and only afterwards I found out that he bought the 5.30 pm bus because there was only a 4.30 pm or a 5.30 pm bus. So it wasn't my fault at all -_- but I had to suffer the consequences. zZZz. Very good exercise indeed, sauna and jogging. Who wants to get slim can try getting stuck in the train for 50 minutes and then run half a mile.

I can't post a photograph of the surprise because then it won't be a surprise! I'm gonna keep it a surprise this time! =). I'm not suppose to even mention that there's a surprise but well, I'm just to excited when it comes to surprises. Surprise! You've got a surprise! Still surprising rite? bleh...

Confucius says

Lady with a sore throat needs a rose.

That, made my day. My colleague gave me a rose in an envelope with that note. Small gestures that puts a smile on the face. I'm still not well but recovering with medicine that I bought yesterday. So expensive! Beeeeeeech-am. That's the brand. Lol.

My colleague told me about his son who was working for a PR company and left his job to become a model in Hongkong. He even said that the photographs he found while googling were cheesy. So funny. His son, doesn't look like him and angelababy is so pretty! 1st time I've heard of her.

www.aldoshoes.com

Unbelievable! It has bad service and website equal to www.asos.com. Or am I just pure unlucky?

I made my order on Sunday, 2 weeks ago and after numerous emails without any intelligent reply, I called them. I received an email saying that I've returned my item. I was like what?! I haven't even received the item! How could I have returned it? I emailed them instantly to ask. Their reply was

Thank you for writing to aldoshoes.com

Please provide us with your aldo order number and full name so we can
assist you further.

So I did. I replied with the order number and my name, and after that no reply. So I forwarded the email after I waited 4 days to say that I've still not received a reply and my item. After a day, I got a reply asking me for my order number and name again. In the forwarded mail was my order number and name. Gosh, talk about intelligence, so I gave them the order number and my name again. After that, no reply again. 20 hours, I tried emailing again to ask for a reply, no reply.

So I had no choice but to call. Guess what they said? We've been trying to contact you but the number you gave us had no voice mail so we couldn't leave you any message. *ha ha funny*. I said, why did you not email me and reply my email? Oh we did on whatsoever date. *ha ha funnier* I did not receive anything!...and the call centre isn't even in Timbuktu or some deserted island. Their call centre was in Canada and America. *ha ha funniest*. How inefficient! Very disappointing.

I seriously don't wanna buy online from these websites anymore even though there's a huge major sale and the shoe looks pretty cute. After purchasing I go through a 2 week waiting phase to find out myself that I've not been sent the item and I would be given a refund. Whats the point!??! Such a waste of time. I give up.

Singapore Fried Meehoon

I had for dinner yesterday. It was, o.k. Cannot be compared to mine of course. Much better than the other chinese shops in Chinatown that puts a whole jar of curry powder I must say. I accidentally left my shopping goods for Ma under the table. I had to run back from the tube station to the restaurant to get em.

After sore throat and fever, comes the other two, cough and flu. Green thick gooey stuff coming outta my nose. Only when I have to get it out, thank goodness no leaks. How pleasant. -_-"

Mango Passion Fruit Frappucino


Lucy a.k.a Jayden a.k.a Ji Woong insisted on bringing me Starbucks because I treated him and his friends over for bbQ. He initially said he'd come around 12 pm. I told him to come at 2 pm when my boss is not around since he wanted to wrap a present for his mui, ZARA! jacket. Such a lucky gal. Must've costed like 70 pounds. He arrived at 3 pm because he got lost. My Mango Passion Fruit Frappucino became juice instead because he held it for an hour. *swt*. My lunch became rock. He got me a croissant. Psst I only had a bite or two and brought it home and it's still sitting on the table. Shhhhhh. It was hard and dry, I can't be blamed.

I had to run up and down 3 times because 1st, I brought the stuff up and came back down because he wanted me to direct him to the shop to buy wrapping paper. Then he said he saw a 4 pounds paperbag but too expensive so he didn't wanna buy it. I told him that's the price for paperbags. Why not use envelope instead? So I went back up to get envelope and plastic bag. Then when I came back down, he said, I need phone to call mui. -_-" swt. I need pen, I need paper, I need cellophane tape. So I had to run up again. I had to tell my manager my friend was lost, needed directions and had no phone because she watched me running up and down. I had to hide the stuffs I was bringing down as well. x_X making good use of office materials =x.

宝贝,我很想你,你这道吗?

我觉得我讲华语那时候,很奇怪应为一块一块。我读大学那时候,很多朋友都会笑我。

I kinda like seeing the Chinese words here on the blog. Looks quite pretty. X(^_^)X

BbQ

Lucy is my boyfriend's friend and so he's my friend too. I invited him and his friends over to my place for a bbq. They were suppose to arrive at 7pm however due to tube repair works, they took almost 3 hours to get here. I've already finish eating by the time they arrived. They departed at 5.30pm and arrived at 8pm. That's what I call unlucky. When you're in London and you arrive on a weekend where most of the tubes are under repair, you'd have trouble travelling around. Replacement buses takes forever. I've no idea how long they are gonna take to get back to their hotel. Hopefully they don't get stranded at the station until after midnight.

I feel bad because somehow the food didn't seem enough. I didn't know they were such BIG eaters. *guilty*. Actually there was 5 pieces of chicken for them but my mom's friend suddenly turned up so one piece had to go to her. Sorry if you guys weren't full enough! Lucky I made char siew and they had the cookies as well. Heh my mom said the char siew very delicious. Then I told her, that's why I told you mine is better than yours! She refuses to admit it saying that ours are equal. Oh well! I don't wanna rub it in! LOL!

Lucy's gonna go back to Msia soon and he'll get to see my boyfriend! Too bad can't tumpang him to bring back stuff coz he's overweight. Don't wanna trouble him also lah lols although I won't feel guilty since I belanja-ed him and his friends makan. LOL! Nah. I don't like to trouble people unless I really have to.

Aunty Pauline from West Midlands Ireland, Aunty Barry, Ma, Elaine, Lucy and Elaine's cousin whose name I do not know but I know he studies in Iowa USA! Lol.

Roses

I look at them everyday. They are lovely and smell lovely too. I used to not like flowers and plants because I hate worms, snails and insects. Now I don't even think about it. *rolls around the grass*.

Writing Chinese is so difficult! Why?! *pouts* T_T. My writing very ugly. eeks. How can people write prettily?

Write? Lazy... Sleep? YES!

Cookies

Cranberry, Raisins and Walnut

Because I thought that 220g of each of the above sounded too much, I reduced each by 100g and it still felt too much when I placed em with the flour and I actually hesitated for a second or two to pour everything in. I eventually did. After the cookies were baked and it was time to eat, more of em was better! The dried fruits soaked in dry sherry, lemon and honey tasted really nice. Not a very feasible cookie to make though because you only need 2 tbsp of dry sherry and you have to buy the whole big bottle each time you wanna bake. The bottle costs £4.20. Each packet of dried fruit cost a pound to a pound fifty. Total cost to make 36 pieces of cookies? Quite expensive I must say! Could have just bought a packet of Marylands for 46p during sale minus the hassle and the time spent. Lols.

Don't be discouraged! Baking is fun! Baking is more fun if you don't have to clean up afterwards. =p
Look too nice? Secret: I didn't bake this. I just opened a packet of Marylands and placed them on a plate. NOT! =p

今天我没有去做工。很开心可以休息。如果可以天天在草睡觉那么好呢?一个简简单单的生物好像一个不可能的梦想。没有做工没有钱不可以在一个将美丽的地方。

几天是我的爸爸的生日。我12.00am打电话给他但是他接电话,听到我唱,他放电话。我大多3次,他不要接。It is quite heartbreaking at times but after this many years, I should have gotten used to it, yet I have not. I still repeat and get hurt. Love hurts, that's the way it is.

Typing in Chinese is challenging. I can barely read back what I've typed, I am trying to remember though. Learn to write a word a day is what Aunty said. I will start, some day. Most of the time I just feel like lying on the grass and think of nothing instead of doing something. When you go to bed, your mind wanders uncontrollably. Like last night, I was robbed 4 times in the same manner in my dream. I was walking back to a really big house and when I opened the gates some indian guy comes running outta nowhere to rob me and that scene just kept repeating until I had to wake up because I had to use the loo x 3 times. Being sick is no fun. I'm gonna share some bacterias with everyone by bakin some cookies. Sounds exciting already.

Sick

with sore throat and fever.

I'm closing this blog. I don't want to blog anymore.

C&R London

has the worst service on earth. The food wasn't good either and it was expensive. It was a bad choice. Nasi lemak didn't taste like nasi lemak and the chicken my mom said it was fish because it was so soft and didn't taste like chicken.

Sze, Eelynn and I tried them for the first time and I know I will never go back there again. But I liked the red bean ice blended... still I won't go back! hmph! What's with these Chinese restaurants and rude waiter and waitresses? We waited for the da bao nasi lemak for quite long so we asked the waitress if it's ready yet. She pouted and rudely replied something. With such an attitude we decided that we weren't gonna pay any tips.

Sze paid 30.50 and guess what, the stupid waitress kept the 2 pounds change. Wow. They are suppose to return the change and then customers would decide whether to leave the change or take. This one, muka tebal keep the change themselves. We sat there waiting and staring at her and she came to ask what? with a one of a kind look. I was like, our change? Then she pouted and boh song-ly went to get the 2 pounds change, toss it on the plate and toss the plate onto our table. I just walked away without looking at her but Eelynn did and said that she showed her some attitude. What a bimbo right?!

Red bean ice blended! Suppose to have pearl but then out of stock! Sze and her watan hor and teh tarik ais. Eelynn and her hainan chicken rice and teh tarik panas.

Sleeping in the Garden

under the sun can be quite nice, if it isn't too hot. I could have fallen asleep.

However I didn't stay out for long because I don't wanna develop skin cancer. Lol. I'm a sunshine girl! What nonsense?! Only people here have the higher risk of getting em because they aren't used to the sun and they go for fake tanning which exposes the skin to radiation which is perfect environment for growths.

Making my mark on the grass with drool.

My Mama's strawberries. We gonna try em tonite. I hope they're not sour. T_T I dun like sour.

Got sexy hands, of course must have sexy legs. The bruise is very mild. I have no idea I had that cut yesterday. My legs need some sun.

Unbearable

pain.

I will never take anything cold on this particular day again. It slipped my mind.

Holding on to the pain, I tried doing situps. Exercise would normally stop the pain but it didn't. I felt worse after that.

I couldn't move, the pain was unbearable, I wanted medicine but I couldn't get to it. I felt like stabbing myself where it hurt. Pain to cure pain. Fortunately, knives were outta my reach. I sat in the toilet for 30 minutes holding on to the pain. I felt dizzy, and then I felt like vomitting and I did. I finally got out of the toilet curled up like a prawn for a moment, hid under my sheets, then finally reached for medication and curled up like a prawn again trying to sleep so the pain would stop. It was seriously so bad (worse than the pain from when I had my broken leg).

I had a dream, I won air tickets to America. Not one but a few okay! How I wished it was real.

7.30 am

I was at work.

Gosh. I'm a workaholic.

My back aches. My fingers and hands all with minor cuts and grazes.

I just rolled down the stairs on my bum after missing a step and knocked my elbow as well. Now my whole body is aching.

Thank goodness it's Friday. I'm gonna make sure I shut the blinds tonight. I get up so early because of the sun shines thru my window at 5 am in the morning! Maybe 4 am. I'm not sure but at 4 / 5 it looks as if it's 8 am already.

This was the reason why I have backache and swolen hands. I carried and arranged every single coursework. It wasn't in alphabetical and it was scattered all over the room. Finally. Finished stacking.

Jelly Belly

My macho gardener boyfriend loves em! So being the most lovable girlfriend, I got him a sample packet! *tada*

Just kidding baby! I'll trot down to Topshop to get you a gigantic pack of Jelly Belly's in September before I fly =).

The packet I bought in December was really cheap because I looked like a student so I was given a discount automatically without providing my student card! The advantages of looking young at times! =) Students get 10% discount in Topshop if you don't already know!

I bought 2 - 3 of each of the flavour and there's 50 original flavours. The damage? Slightly above 2 pounds! Cheap right!? I had trouble finding for the distributor and finally figured out that Top Shop had em. I suggest you get them from TopShop instead of online. I think pick and mix is better and cheaper.

Besides the 50 original flavours, if you've watched Harry Potter or read Harry Potter, you would know of the existence of the weird flavours like vomit and worms. They are called BeanBoozled in the Jelly Belly world. There's a whole long list of other candies so, go check em out if you've got a sweet tooth.

You can order for a sample to try if you've never tasted em before. Only if you live in the UK from here. The American site I'm afraid does not give out samples so you'd have to buy the sample packets OR visit the stores, open the box, take one, and quietly put it in your mouth when noone's looking. I'm not serious. If you get caught or placed in jail, that's your fault. =p.

Work from Home

It's not very enjoyable to be really honest. It's just the same as working in the office. I sat in front of my laptop, refreshing my email box every 5 minutes and I did lots and lots of folding, stuffing, sticking and cutting. The exact amount 200. I really worked more hours than I was suppose to and I did not snake! I'd do the exact same things in the office. At least I get to eat good food instead of cereal. I had assam fish for lunch *yums*. Today I am working from home again.

I really hate touching paper. I don't like the texture against my fingers, skin and palm. I don't like paper cuts, they hurt more than a knife, or maybe not. I don't like the sound of paper boxes. The sound hurts my ears and make me tremble inside out. But what can I do? A job is a job, I can't wait to be my own manager. That, is my new dream. So that I can do what I want, and don't do what I don't want. I want money, I work. I don't want money, I sleep. LOL! =p

When the clock strikes 7

Time stops. Travel stops. Millions of Londoners become disabled. Tomorrow and the day after would be a travelling nightmare in the morning and in the evening. The traffic has always been bad with only a meager amount of Londoners travelling by car and bus, what more tomorrow and the day after? I will not have a role in the nightmare. I'm gonna be working from my heavenly home. *heart jumping with slight joy*.

I almost had to face the nightmare when my manager said I couldn't take sick leave or work from home but after she read the University's policy, my request for not going in to work was approved. I brought work home alright. A box with 400 sheets of paper and 200 envelopes. My job tomorrow is to fold and stuff. It was so heavy with the distance, I've got no energy left in me even after I refuelled myself with food. I did so much carrying today, I felt more like a labourer instead of an office worker.

KFC Panini. My mom's new love. It was really huge. I think it's costly. £3.49 for a panini. There's 2 types. My mom had the Spicy Chicken. It was zinger fillet with fire roasted pepper chutney. The other one was Italian Chicken. Original recipe fillet and sunblush tomato sauce. The ad looks attractive. lolz.


No more mini skirts and tank tops for 2 weeks or more? The weather has been horribly cold, gloomy and wet. Not in the office and the tubes though. It's so hard to dress when outside cold inside hot. Shouldn't have worn long sleeve today. So warm, I couldn't breathe, I was sweating like a pig and I almost fainted at the end of the day. I really hate my office. Whichever architect that built and designed the building should be hung upside down. It's a torture chamber for us working there everyday.

MAS Grab-A-Deal

50%...fares are really birds dropping.

KL to London, RM911. KL to Tokyo, RM622. Inclusive of tax! SO TEMPTING! Now I wish I was in Msia, I can fly the whole world with such great deals. Why here got no such deals wan? This happens very often, when I'm there, nothing, when I'm not, something. Life is such a joke isn't it?

I wasn't hunting for fares. The newsletter was sent to me. Hmm which makes me wonder why I've never received any newsletter from Air Asia. I've signed up 3 times for it and still no signs of it. Malaysia Airlines definitely putting up a good battle. RM911 is cheaper than Air Asia!

I want to go to London! (oh wait I am here) -_- lolz. I want to go to Tokyo! Watashi wa Tokyo ni ikitai!

It's been getting bright really early in the morning, like 4 am! And it gets dark at 10 pm. Sometimes I don't realize that it's already bedtime.

Movie Marathon

I watched 3 movies today. Oh no, 2. Another one was last night.

I finally watched, the all girls go hooha about movie Twilight. I was convinced by Tan Ya Hui aka chaborkia to watch it. It was a good movie, because, there was a cute looking hunk and a cute looking babe in it. It also had an interesting storyline, it triggered questions in my mind. Wouldn't vampires die in sunlight? I've always thought they can't take sunlight at all. Since when they're able to stand in the sun and their skin crystalizes? Do they not turn into bats? Are they enemies with the wolves? They have strength and speed? Very super-hero-ish. I thought if you get bitten you'd immediately become a vampire? You can choose not to make someone a vampire apparently. Regardless, I look forward to the sequel New Moon. Maybe I'd get the book. *stares at my already very big pile of books*. *gulps*. Maybe not. I have to start reading. *falls asleep instead*.

The other movie I watched was Coraline. It's Brit-ish animated. It was creative and I'd say a worth watching one. Aunty Beef told me to watch it. I've seen the posters all over and wasn't curious about what it was because it didn't seem cute or anything but since she mentioned it, I thought I'd gave it a try. It was about a little girl who moved into a big house that has a tiny door into the same house with everything she wanted but everyone there had button eyes and she had to get her eyes removed and replaced with buttons if she wanted to stay there. I hope I don't get nightmares tonight. The characters were not the most cute funny and amusing ones I must say. I struggled through the movie continuously having to pause and continue.

I don't like dolls. I remember when I was a little girl I'd get nightmares of the Child's Play photograph on the Dvd covers. It wasn't my intention to look at em. They were always there. It was something famous when I was growing up. I hated it. I still get chills down my spine. It's an image I cannot erase. I was afraid of clowns as well. Call me coward. I don't mind. Someone gave me a triangel doll and I've always felt like throwing it away because it looks scary but instead I stuffed it somewhere in my cupboard so that I don't remember that it's there. But it's somewhere alright. I only had 2 dolls in my life, one was a really cute one that I begged for and another was a free barbie from my neighbour. That was before Child's Play existed in my life. Movies that spoil little girls pretty happy images of dolls.

The third movie I watched was finally Slumdog Millionaire. I know it took me almost forever. It's been in my laptop for months and I've actually watched 30 minutes of it and never went back to it. I finally did. It was good. Good to help us realise how lucky we are that we're not in the slums of India, lucky that we do not have to steal, rob, cheat and kill to survive, lucky to not have to blinded to earn more... It's something like the Kite Runner. Watching and understanding the lives of others in countries as such. I am thankful.

I've got no more movies to watch. I'm moving on to series that my boyfriend recommended now. hee hee. Dirty Sexy Money and The Shield. zzZZzZZz first.

Asos.com such scammers

I hate them.

I feel cheated.

The item is out of stock and their system made a mistake. I did not receive any indication. If I knew that that item was out of stock, I wouldn't have made the purchase because the stupid postage was 3.95.

A lil of Aus and Msia

Dylan sms-ed me yesterday to say they had a surprise for me. *excited*. I love surprises! haha. Who doesnt? But I sorta guessed that it was tau sa peng, or hoped it was because they were in Penang and I always mentioned I love tau sa peng. Before they came back they did ask me if I wanted anything but I said no. I don't like troubling people. Travelling such a distance with lotsa stuff is, troublesome so I dislike troubling people and I dislike people troubling me so if I don't trouble people, people won't trouble me, right? Hee but I still got tau sa peng!!!

Thank you Dylan and Joanne for bringing me a box of tau sa peng and a packet of Tim Tams!
A bite of the tau sa peng made me fly from here to Msia and back in a second. It was, yummilicious. The Tim Tams were good too but I preferred the tau sa peng haha. It was chocolate and a little too sweet for my liking. I appreciated the thought and gesture. They brought it all the way to my office! I'm so touched. ^_^. They've sent Perngs and I an invitation card to their wedding in October but, unfortunately we can't attend. We'll be in Australia at that time. Congratulations!



Today was YP's last day. 2 months and a half has passed unnoticeably even with complains of boredom. Monday I will be going to work myself again.

Asos.com

Addon in blue... I've received the parcel 2 days ago but my mom left the parcel on the chair and did not inform me! I only found it today -_-".

I've finally made my first purchase from that website. I've always wanted to but nothing really attracted me. I sat in front of the click and pay screen for 15 minutes going back and forth to the item screen to see if it was really what I wanted. I have not received the item I bought yet but I hope I won't be disappointed. *nyah* I have a bad feeling about this. We'll see.

I was right! I've got a missing item from the order. I ordered 2 items and only 1 came. Asos.com SUX! Sorry to fans of Asos.com out there. This is my first purchase and they can mess it up. How difficult can packing 2 items be? Item 1 (ticked - put in the box), Item 2 (ticked - put in the box) walla...simple!? no?!

The sandals, wasn't really value for money I must say. They seem a bit flimsy and not very good quality. And the thing I hated most was the slippery soles and the big "made in China" sign underneath the soles. I was slightly disappointed. These sandals are not made for walking, I'd die wearing them if I had to em to get from home to the office. Great for dresses though, flat and formal, just what I need for dinners or walking in shopping malls like Midvalley.



I've started packing my luggage. LOL! YES! 4 months in advance. I'm already in the holiday mood. It's bad I know but oh well, if only I was gonna fly tomorrow! Why isn't it tomorrow?!?! Bleh.

I was a victim of a hoax. A box of books was delivered to my house and I had to pay for them. I did not order nor did I join their website. A coupon bearing my address was sent to them apparently. *swt*. I normally tear all my posts with names. How could they have gotten my address and name and email address? Weird.

The delivery company is coming to pick up the parcel tomorrow yay. I don't have to worry about it at least.

My brain has a down time and this is it. The week of nothing to say. Welcome to silence.

Korean Hotpot

I did not eat. But I took photographs. It did not look appetizing but apparently everyone who went for the Korean said it was good. They have not tried Korean food in Korea. I have. If compared to the one I had in Seoul, I could tell the difference without tasting. The dish here only had mushrooms, tofu, lettuce, pork and lots of soup. The same dish I had in Seoul had, lots of seafood, various types of vegetables, pork, tofu equal to the amount of soup. Korean just wasn't my cup of tea, but as far as I remember, the vegetables I had in Korea were quite good but not something I'd crave for. The pancake here...looked small, thin and lack of ingredients.

I had my doubts on the quality and standards here. I'd rather pay for something I will not regret eating and something I like than to pay for something I'd end up unhappy and unsatisfied with.

I ended up buying Bodyshop's Aloe Gentle Facial Wash instead of the other facial washes that I intended to get. It was a difficult decision. I liked the seaweed one because it smelt nice and I tend to fall for good smelling things however based on my skin type which is dry and sensitive, Aloe was the recommended item. It didn't smell nice (it had no smell) and I hesitated but decided to go with it anyways because the promoter did a sample on my hand! She even gave me a cute lil bottle with some toner inside for me to try. Good service rite?! I like good service and friendly people. They make me happy and want to go back ^_^.

I've got no regrets though, so far, it's been good to my skin besides a few red rashes due to the heat in my office. It's so hot I get rashes and I itch all over. My face was red like a tomato today and the heat was really annoying. I get distracted and I can't work. I don't know how I'm going to get through summer with just a stand fan blowing into my face that I have to take out every morning and put back every evening. I want air conditioning :(. I need air conditioning :(. I will die of heat stroke. Please sue the University if I do. Honestly, in Malaysia, I've always slept without any fan or air con, so trust me, the heat in my office is really unbearable. I'm not being a whiny lil brat.

The Korean flag on the ceiling.

The weird tea looking drink that did not taste like tea. Tasted like water but weird.
The korean pancake, looks extremely greasy.

Thank you KY the bestest! who sent me a postcard all the way from Aussieland. I was grinning like a mad woman (thankfully inside the house) as I read through the postcard. It was unexpected. She's so funny, it was dated March and the stamp was on top of all the words she wrote because there wasn't a place for the stamp which she did not realize and she filled the whole card with text. *huggieeeez* ^________^.

Sundried Tomatoes

cooked with capsicums, mmm delicious!

I never liked tomatoes, never liked em raw but for a short period of time tried to eat them and then eventually swallowed them and still couldn't like em hence abandoned them. I still don't like raw fresh tomatoes. Its just not my type of fruit. Soft and gooey, tastes like raw vegetables. I dun likey.

Sundried tomatoes, it's a different story! However, I failed to cook a dish that was good with em. T_T. *sobs*. I shall succeed the next time! Rawr! I need some guidance from my Ma who made her pasta with sundried tomatoes, mushroom, pork and capsicum. I nibbled a piece of mushroom and a piece of capsicum and then gobbled ALL the mushrooms and capsicums leaving her with pork and pasta. NOT GUILTY! I asked for permission! =p. I learnt that sundried tomatoes are really delicious. One should definitely try cooking with em. Pizza with sundried tomatoes would taste good too. Mm. Somehow I've got a crave for tomato-ish dishes now.

Asda's sun-dried tomatoes. Comes in oil. The oil can be used for cooking.

5 pence

or you'd rather walk an extra mile?

or you'd rather spend an extra half an hour?

or you'd rather hold 10 items in your hands without a bag?

For me, I'd definitely choose, 5 pence. If you think there won't be anyone who would choose otherwise, think again. It was unbelievably annoying. I'd understand the fuss about 50p, but 5p? *gosh*. I'm NOT saying 5p ONLY MAH just because I have it but because I am WISE! *self praise* I'm feeling generous today hence here I share my wisdom! =p

You can buy a bag with 5p but you can't buy back 30 minutes of your time and my time. You can't buy back broken eggs with 5p nor can you buy back broken apples. 5p is not insignificant nor is it worthless. It's the way you invest your 5p. With 5p you get a bag that can save you time and protect your items. Common sense to me, the wise one, but the less intelligent would need this little piece of advice.

I feel like blocking some people on Msn because their Msn has virus and keeps sending messages with links to boobies and acai berries and photographs of my so called naked self, etc. Who wants the links I can give them to you. It pops up so often that it's beginning to get a little annoying.
