it's not a secret anymore...

My Happiest Moment

2011-10-28T00:57:00.001+08:00

It was dark and drizzly evening, en route to the island I call home, when I met you for the first time.

"There's a plastic bag behind my seat.. that's your Christmas present," he said.
The date was January 13, 2011.

After eight seconds of groping in the dark, I laid hands on the said plastic bag, excitedly plunged my hands into it... and touched... something soft.. and swirly?

What an awkward sensation!

But how can I ever forget, the day I took you out of the plastic bag, looked at you for awhile, held you in my arms happily and then hugging you for the rest of our journey home...

And I will never forget how he bought you to keep me company, knowing that I love horses, and thinking you were one! Hehe..

Me? A horse?!

Not to mention, all the wonderful times we spent together after that.. Hanging out and meeting new friends!

Taking silly photos together!

But you know what? I will always remember the night that I first met you as one of the happiest moments of my life. Simply because right after you came into my life, he popped THE QUESTION!!

Watching Toy Story 3 together @ Pavillion

And that night, was the start of something special... for all of us!

DiGi BlackBerry Torch 9800 – Hotter and Smarter

2010-11-17T16:33:00.000+08:00

Hey people...!

Here's a secret you didn't know... Heh heh heh!

Ok nolah, not really secret since most of you who are actively on the internet and reading blogs would have known by now that something hot just waltzed into town...

*wipe my drool first*

Wah, what a nice change if my phone actually looks like that! Even if I was having roti kosong at the mamak stall, being fed by my mom, I would look good when I take out my Blackberry Torch and answer a phone call!

See?? Cool right? No wait, I mean, HOT right?

Man, having a BB Torch right now will be like... having Caviar at kindergarten recess time!

And like, having lunch with Obama!!

Or even comparable to...

ok not really la... eww!

But you get what I mean, it defies all norms… its SMART… and its HOT!

Wuarrrgh!!! I want a Blackberry Torch NOW!!!

*drooling*

Cheese!

2010-11-16T20:55:00.043+08:00

Let me tell you a story about cheese...

I love cheese!!!!!!

I don't think there's a cheese product in existence that I do not like!

CHEESEcake, CHEESEburger, CHEESE fries, CHEESE baked rice, CHEESE tarts, CHEEZELS! Love them all!!!

So imagine the horror when I visited Pizza Hut today with a half-empty stomach, ordered the SUPER DUPER AWESOME EXTREME CHEESY 6 Pizza... and I couldn't finish it! WUARGHH!!! Its like mental torture!!!

yummy!!!

Seriously... Look at all that cheese calling out to me... Its as if the Cheddar, Mozarella, Parmesan, Provolone, Monterey Jack and Romano are calling my name and saying, "Nicki~ Eat us all~ You know you want it!!!"

And while I'm struggling with that inner battle in my mind, Mr. Boyfriend was sitting on the other side of the table, happily buttering up his pizza slices with Chilli Sauce! Why? Why would anyone do that to those poor yummy cheeses?!

Oh well, lets not get distracted here because I have my own mission to fulfill: How to nom all these cheese?

I was in the middle of contemplating between hiding them in salt + pepper shakers and convincing Mr. Boyfriend to help me out when I got myself an even better idea... DIVIDE AND CONQUER!

In order for this to work, I have to convince myself that the pizza is nom nom and that I can finish them up so first, I cut it into slices like this...

Looks more manageable! Now to make it even easier, I cut them into even smaller pieces like this...

Taa daa!! Now its only nice small pieces of lovely cheese noms! Haha... I was so happy with my discovery that I ended up eating more than I intended to eat. Sigh... My tummy is so going to complain about this but, every single bite was WORTH IT!! Worth it, I tell you!

Pizza Hut's Extreme Cheesy 6, Consume with Caution! Dangerously addictive!! >.<

After this experience, I have come to a conclusion... Did I tell you at the beginning of this post that I love cheese? Well, I don't think that's true anymore...

Cause now I'm crazy about Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!

Don't Leave It On The Desk

2010-05-24T01:11:00.000+08:00

There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr. Christianson, a studious man who taught at a small college in the western United States.

Dr. Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity at this particular institution. Every student was required to take this course their freshman year, regardless of his or her major.

Although Dr. Christianson tried hard to communicate the essence of the gospel in his class, he found that most of his students looked upon the course as nothing but required drudgery. Despite his best efforts, most students refused to take Christianity seriously.

This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Steve was only a freshman, but was studying with the intent of going onto seminary for the ministry. Steve was popular, he was well liked, and he was an imposing physical specimen. He was now the starting center on
the school football team, and was the best student in the professor's class.

One day, Dr. Christianson asked Steve to stay after class so he could talk with him.

"How many push-ups can you do?"

Steve said, "I do about 200 every night."

"200? That's pretty good, Steve," Dr. Christianson said. "Do you think
you could do 300?"

Steve replied, "I don't know.... I've never done 300 at a time"

"Do you think you could?" again asked Dr. Christianson.

"Well, I can try," said Steve.

"Can you do 300 in sets of 10? I have a class project in mind and I need you to do about 300 push-ups in sets of ten for this to work. Can you do it? I need you to tell me you can do it," said the professor.

Steve said, "Well... I think I can...yeah, I can do it."

Dr. Christianson said, "Good! I need you to do this on Friday.. Let me explain what I have in mind."

Friday came and Steve got to class early and sat in the front of the room. When class started, the professor pulled out a big box of donuts. No, these weren't the normal kinds of donuts, they were the extra fancy BIG kind, with cream centers and frosting swirls. Everyone was pretty excited it was Friday, the last class of the day, and they were going to get an early start on the weekend with a party in Dr. Christianson's class.

Dr. Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked, "Cynthia, do you want to have one of these donuts?"

Cynthia said, "Yes."

Dr. Christianson then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Cynthia can have a donut?"

"Sure!" Steve jumped down from his desk to do a quick ten. Then Steve again sat in his desk. Dr. Christianson put a donut on Cynthia's desk.

Dr. Christianson then went to Joe, the next person, and asked, "Joe, do you want a donut?"

Joe said, "Yes."

Dr. Christianson asked, "Steve would you do ten push-ups so Joe can have a donut?"

Steve did ten push-ups, Joe got a donut. And so it went, down the first aisle, Steve did ten push-ups for every person before they got their donut.

Walking down the second aisle, Dr. Christianson came to Scott. Scott was on the basketball team, and in as good condition as Steve. He was very popular and never lacking for female companionship.

When the professor asked, "Scott do you want a donut?"

Scott's reply was, "Well, can I do my own push-ups?"

Dr. Christianson said, "No, Steve has to do them."

Then Scott said, "Well, I don't want one then."

Dr.. Christianson shrugged and then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Scott can have a donut he doesn't want?"

With perfect obedience Steve started to do ten push-ups.

Scott said, "HEY! I said I didn't want one!"

Dr. Christianson said, "Look! This is my classroom, my class, my desks, and these are my donuts. Just leave it on the desk if you don't want it." And he put a donut on Scott's desk.

Now by this time, Steve had begun to slow down a little. He just stayed on the floor between sets because it took too much effort to be getting up and down. You could start to see a little perspiration coming out around his brow.

Dr. Christianson started down the third row. Now the students were beginning to get a little angry. Dr. Christianson asked Jenny, "Jenny, do you want a donut?"

Sternly, Jenny said, "No."

Then Dr. Christianson asked Steve, "Steve, would you do ten more push-ups so Jenny can have a donut that she doesn't want?"

Steve did ten....Jenny got a donut.

By now, a growing sense of uneasiness filled the room. The students were beginning to say, "No!" and there were all these uneaten donuts on the desks.

Steve also had to really put forth a lot of extra effort to get these push-ups done for each donut. There began to be a small pool of sweat on the floor beneath his face, his arms and brow were beginning to get red because of the physical effort involved.

Dr. Christianson asked Robert, who was the most vocal unbeliever in the class, to watch Steve do each push up to make sure he did the full ten push-ups in a set because he couldn't bear to watch all of Steve's work for all of those uneaten donuts. He sent Robert over to where Steve was so Robert count the set and watch Steve closely.

Dr. Christianson started down the fourth row.. During his class, however, some students from other classes had wandered in and sat down on the steps along the radiators that ran down the sides of the room. When the professor realized this, he did a quick count and saw that now there
were 34 students in the room. He started to worry if Steve would be able to make it.

Dr. Christianson went on to the next person and the next and the next. Near the end of that row, Steve was really having a rough time. He was taking a lot more time to complete each set.

Steve asked Dr. Christianson, "Do I have to make my nose touch on each one?"

Dr. Christianson thought for a moment, "Well, they're your push-ups. You are in charge now. You can do them any way that you want." And Dr. Christianson went on.

A few moments later, Jason, a recent transfer student, came to the room and was about to come in when all the students yelled in one voice, "NO! Don't come in! Stay out!"

Jason didn't know what was going on. Steve picked up his head and said, "No, let him come."

Professor Christianson said, "You realize that if Jason comes in you will have to do ten push-ups for him?"

Steve said, "Yes, let him come in. Give him a donut."

Dr. Christianson said, "Okay, Steve, I'll let you get Jason's out of the way right now. Jason, do you want a donut?"

Jason, new to the room, hardly knew what was going on. "Yes," he said, "give me a donut."

"Steve, will you do ten push-ups so that Jason can have a donut?"

Steve did ten push-ups very slowly and with great effort. Jason, bewildered, was handed a donut and sat down.

Dr Christianson finished the fourth row, and then started on those visitors seated by the heaters. Steve's arms were now shaking with each push-up in a struggle to lift himself against the force of gravity. By this time sweat was profusely dropping off of his face, there was no
sound except his heavy breathing; there was not a dry eye in the room.

The very last two students in the room were two young women, both cheerleaders, and very popular. Dr. Christianson went to Linda, the second to last, and asked, "Linda, do you want a doughnut?"

Linda said, very sadly, "No, thank you."

Professor Christianson quietly asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Linda can have a donut she doesn't want?"

Grunting from the effort, Steve did ten very slow push-ups for Linda.

Then Dr. Christianson turned to the last girl, Susan. "Susan, do you want a donut?"

Susan, with tears flowing down her face, began to cry. "Dr. Christianson, why can't I help him?"

Dr Christianson, with tears of his own, said, "No, Steve has to do it alone; I have given him this task and he is in charge of seeing that everyone has an opportunity for a donut whether they want it or not. When I decided to have a party this last day of class, I looked at my grade book. Steve here is the only student with a perfect grade. Everyone else has failed a test, skipped class, or offered me inferior work. Steve told me that in football practice, when a player messes up he must do push-ups. I told Steve that none of you could come to my party unless he paid the price by doing your push-ups. He and I made a deal for your sakes."

"Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Susan can have a donut?"

As Steve very slowly finished his last push-up, with the understanding that he had accomplished all that was required of him, having done 350 push-ups, his arms buckled beneath him and he fell to the floor.

Dr. Christianson turned to the room and said, "And so it was, that our Savior, Jesus Christ, on the cross, plead to the Father, 'Into thy hands I commend my spirit.' With the understanding that He had done everything that was required of Him, He yielded up His life. And like some of those in this room, many of us leave the gift on the desk, uneaten. "

Two students helped Steve up off the floor and to a seat, physically exhausted, but wearing a thin smile.

"Well done, good and faithful servant," said the professor, adding, "Not all sermons are preached in words."

Turning to his class, the professor said, "My wish is that you might understand and fully comprehend all the riches of grace and mercy that have been given to you through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He spared not His Only Begotten Son, but gave Him up for
us all, for the whole Church, now and forever. Whether or not we choose to accept His gift to us, the price has been paid."

"Wouldn't you be foolish and ungrateful to leave it lying on the desk?"

Showing My Mother Some Love

2010-05-17T21:37:00.007+08:00

Its really been a long time since I last blogged.. Sigh, I ought to pull my schedules together and squeeze in a weekly slot for blogging real soon before this space starts to grow e-mold!

Ok quick updates here - I'm DONE with my final exams!!! Whee!! But still working on my thesis, would appreciate it if anyone knows anyone who can help me develop mobile apps!! Contact me at ghimghim@hotmail.com Please and Thank You!

Anyhow, I found myself rather free tonight after a crazy two weeks of travelling between PG - KL but even though its pretty tiring and all, I still think its well worth it! For one, I got to spend some time with my parents to sweat it out a bit by helping them with some house chores and do some mother-daughter bonding sessions. Spent some time talking to my dad about my plans for the future and stuff.. not to mention some chill out sessions catching up with pals, just like old times!

Now let me tell you something about my mom...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!!

For all the countless things she's done for me, the mere job of raising me up (all the sleepless nights and tiring days!!), all the valuable lessons she taught me and the unconditional love she's shown me...

..there really is no way that I can fully express my gratitude to her in words

but that didn't stop me from trying anyway!

I still remember some of the funny things she did last time that I didn't quite understand because I was too young. Like when I was still in primary school and I was hooked on the habit of running off to some neighbourhood 'longkang' or puddle with my cousins, armed with a McDonalds paper cup, just to catch a bunch of tadpoles and bring them home to keep as pets.

She knew that the many many helpless creatures were gonna die in my hands if she didn't do anything about it so when I told her, "Mom! I put this cup here on the kitchen floor you don't throw my pets away ok?" she would just smile her beautiful smile. Then the next morning the cup will be gone and she would tell me, "The tadpoles turned into frogs and jump away already.. you cannot keep them in the small little cup" and I would believe her!

After a few attempts and having my tadpoles supposedly turn into frogs overnight and jumping off every time, I got bored of it and stopped taking them as captives.

See how smart my mom is? Gotta learn more of these tricks from her to use on my sister's kids! Heh heh heh!

So anyhow, I just thought it'd be nice to post some pictures I took on Mother's Day here. I gave her the gifts 2 days early because I was gonna be in KL on the actual day... and it really makes me happy to see the smile on her face when she saw the flowers!!

mom's kinda camera shy so I'm not posting her pics here! hehe..

So what did you all do for your mom two weeks ago?

I Lost My Glitterati!!!

2010-04-26T21:58:00.005+08:00

What a shame... I can't believe I let this happen!!!

As you can see here, I haven't been updating my blog for quite sometime already lately... WHY? Because I've been kinda swamped with my final exams and thesis. *sobs*

However, little did I know that my negligence was gonna cost me some privileges that I have previously taken for granted... like my Nuffnang Glitterati status!!! T_T

I can't even see what their new Evangelist Program looks like!!! I wanna be a brand Nazi!!! T___T

I happily logged in to my Nuffnang account one day after receiving one of their friendly community emails only to realize that I've been demoted to an ORDINARY member! THE HORROR!!!

So I went to take a look around and see if any "foreign" ads have crept into my blog without me noticing but no.. my blog was clean! Then I went to check if my blog went bonkers or stopped displaying the banners but no, they were working fine!!! Finally it hit me.. my Project 365!

My Project 365... you poor poor thing.. abandoned for two whole months after I took my 365th picture in March!

So what can a blogger do now that her access to Innit has been taken away and she is no longer entitled to joining those lucrative Nuffnang events and contests??? ~~Cry for three days two nights then go write complaints to the Nuffnang helpdesk! ho ho ho~~

High time to revamp the old abandoned blog!

It took me a few days (sneaking time off in between studies) to work on it but finally I've managed to make something decent out of it!! Whee~

I'm gonna be starting to update that project of mine regularly now so can I have my Glitterati back please please pretty please with a cherry on top???

Tis The Day

2010-03-31T19:43:00.003+08:00

...that I lala-fied my phone! Oh no!

The horror!!!

Haha... I'm not quite sure why but 3D stickers are all the craze recently. I have friends who are working in *aherm* professional corporate settings sticking these cute stickers all over their desktop monitors!

haha.. don't get me wrong, this bunny is mine and its on my laptop.. hahaha! lala-fied!

If its not the cute looks that makes normally sensible people (like me) fall for these thingies, I bet its their soft squishy nature!!! Not sure if my friends secretly poke the stickers on their monitors but I do that sometimes to the flower on my phone! *squish*

Sigh... Why is this happening to me???

I Just Love Good Smelling People

2010-03-08T16:41:00.003+08:00

I don't know about you but personally, its not that I can't stand smelly people cause all I have to do is just breathe a little less often around them (unless they really rreally stink) but I just love it when people smell good!

Contrary to the effects of smelly people where all you want to do is to somehow cease breathing and still live, run far far away or to just avoid them at all costs, GOOD smelling people puts others at ease and even attract people to hang around just a little bit more because they smell like summer~ or something along that line.

At least thats what I choose to believe but imagine the horror when I received a forwarded email some time ago telling me that smelly people are actually more attractive to the opposite sex!!

I quote from the article, "Sex pheromones are also spread through olfactory means, thus adding emphasis to smell. Pheromones serve to attract the opposite sex and have an important role in sexual attraction." Ugh! Eww!!

Now if you are brave enough, click on to find out more about this geli article and let me know what you think of it. But as for me, I still think that people should try their best to smell nice at all times!

If you don't naturally smell like summer~ and you need some help, just head over to the nearest Watsons or something and grab a bottle of these!

Either that or bathe more often everyday! Its one of my favourite things to do now that the weather is so insistent on being so annoyingly hot!!!

Adventure Starts at 1 A.M.

2010-03-05T14:57:00.009+08:00

Have you ever had the urge to just go out in the middle of the night and do something really random?

Cause that was exactly what happened to me yesterday!

It all started with a crazy SMS...

...from Audrey who was just downstairs from the room where I was!

You see, I've been cooped up in the room for the entire day studying and by dinner time I was feeling pretty much bored out of my mind!!!

so bored that I started taking weird pictures like this... Doinky! What are you doing??

So after my housemates got home I asked them to go out and play but Audrey was busy talking to someone on MSN and asked me to take the car and go out myself! Haiz haiz haiz... Then I went to bug Sun to go out but she was tired out and just wanted to stay on the bed and sleep!

"take the car and go out yourself! I want to zzz.. roar!"

Disappointed, I was going to resign to reading Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief until I fell asleep but Audrey's SMS came in and I was overjoyed! Yay!! The four of us (Audrey, Doinky, Tiger and me) trooped into the car and off we went out to play!

had to bring Tiger along because the owner wanted to stay in bed and sleep.. zzz

The time was 1:00 am and our destination was... Port Dickson!

Woohoo! Road trip!! I like!!!

After about an hour of driving, we were at Port Dickson and looking for this awesome place called Legend Water Chalet which Audrey and a bunch of our friends visited last year without me because I has classes to attend. Boo!

We followed the road signs, made several u-turns, looked out for more road signs, a few more u-turns and taa daa!

We are here!!!

The place is just beautiful...

...and the security guards were so nice, said hi to us and everything too when we waltzed into the place! Hahaha... They probably thought we were guests at the resort because we were in our pyjamas and carrying a toy each! Ho ho ho! Disguise success!

Happily we went around the resort, taking pictures everywhere, outside the chalets, by the poolside, on the bridge, etc. Haha! I haven't done something this crazy in awhile!

This is Audrey posing everywhere!

This is me and my pink flowery pants! Haha..

After taking tons of pictures, we just lazed around on the beach chairs and enjoyed the beautiful environment...

see my toes?? ah.. how nice if I can do this everyday... =D

Even Doinky wants to take picture with the panoramic view!

Hahaha!!! He looks lumpy and funny without his innards!!!

You see, the thing about this trip that makes it so much fun is that we didn't even have a reason to be there. It was just two great friends, going on an adventure and doing whatever that comes to mind in the spur of the moment!

like dipping my feet into the pool and making wet footprints by the poolside! hehe...

But of course, when it comes to adventures like these, there's someone that comes to mind...

thinking of you~

But hey, that's another story for another day! Haha... After we were done exploring and enjoying the sights of Legend Water Chalet, we headed back to the car and walked past this...

woops! sorry ya? hehehe...

And to finish up our night of randomness, we drove over to one of the public beaches of Port Dickson and grabbed something to bring back with us, something for us to keep in order to remember this trip!

And that, just about wraps up the adventurous night we had!

We drove back to KL, talking about guys to keep ourselves awake until we got home! Hehe...

What a night!

Best Bits of Project Alpha Season 1

2010-03-03T11:21:00.003+08:00

If you're a Nuffnanger or you've been hanging around the blogosphere long enough, you must've known what Project Alpha is all about right? No? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING???

Aside from being the first online series that uncovers the life of top bloggers in Malaysia, Project Alpha has been hosting a bunch of really cool blogging and video contests a few months back and the prizes offered (that's my favourite bit! hee hee) are just awesome awesome stuff!

Needless to say, I was really thrilled when Project Alpha went live and as the weeks go by, I was sitting at the edge of my seat waiting for the scoop on one blogger, my favourite blogger, the one who inspired me to start taking blogging a little bit more seriously... the one and only... Kenny Sia!!!

Personally I find his blog entries really funny and of course, its always nice to find out more about your *aherm* idol!

And just to illustrate how much of a fan I am of Kenny Sia... check out this video!

Ha ha ha! The things I do in the name of blogging...!

Anyhow, this is just a quick update! Gotta go back to my studies now and get ready for a talk at my faculty later at 2pm! The title of the talk is 3P... Wonder what its all about??

Oh and stay tuned people for Season 2 thats gonna go live soon!!

Neglect

2010-03-01T17:57:00.005+08:00

Haiz haiz haiz... Look at the state of my blog!

Can't believe its been almost a MONTH since my last update and still I haven't spilled any details that I wanted to spill yet!

As a matter of fact, I had initially thought that everybody has given up on secretnicki since there's been no comments on all my recent posts! Most probably because I have been updating so rarely for the past few months (busy busy me) but I was surprised that shortly after I posted the previous entry I had a few people bugging me about the next update!

First is none other that the person in question who came to me and asked "What are you going to spill about me? Faster write so I can read!" Haha.. I think he's a bit nervous about what I will reveal about him here!

And then there's my curious Nuffies colleagues who never fails to express their interest in this new boyfriend of mine!

Yee Hou: Why never do a proper intro of him on your blog yet?

Michelle: Hey!! You should blog about him! When are you going to blog about him?

Karen: Show us his picturesss!!! What kinda girlfriend is this don't have her boyfriend's picture in her phone wan!

Haha.. Okay now that I have established that there are at least four people who still wants to read my blog, I may just dedicate some time to writing down our story soon! But before I find the time to do that, here's a nice picture of us...

taken during our short trip to Penang last month

We don't have many to show yet but soon, there will be more! Hehe...

Status Update

2010-02-08T19:49:00.004+08:00

O hai!

Hehe.. Will spill more details soon!

How To Reject Someone Christian

2010-01-25T20:51:00.003+08:00

Haha.. I never knew that there are different ways to reject non-Christians and Christians!!

Got difference wan meh?? I want to know!

Yellow Cab

2010-01-19T20:30:00.004+08:00

In case you think I'm gonna be talking about public transport, you're wrong!

semi-misleading picture.. hehe

Aside from the joy that comes with working alongside a bunch of the wittiest and most creative young minds in Malaysia, one thing that I really like about Nuffnang is our Nuffie lunches.

Nuffies + special guest Zachboy

Not only do we enjoy good food together, it is also a time for bonding and discussions of interesting topics... some of which is NSFW and therefore cannot be elaborated here. Hehe..

I don't mean this kind of "not safe"

Of course, to top it all off, it's extra nice when you get rewarded with a nice treat for your dedication at work!

this is Charlie feeding his Angels with pizza!

Last week I had my very first Yellow Cab pizza at Dang Wangi which is located only several steps away from our office at Heritage House.

this has got to be the BEST pizza I've ever had! THE BEST!!!

Robb was so nice to pay for us all! Thank you Ah Robb!

Haha.. It's funny to see the Nuffies' reaction when I say that I never had Yellow Cab before this, the shock in their voices when they exclaim

"6 MONTHS in Nuffnang and you NEVER had Yellow Cab before???"

LOL! Paiseh, abit outdated but now I know better! Hehe..

Thank You...?

2010-01-06T02:48:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I wonder what nonsense my friends are up to on FaceBook...

Oh.. Em... Gee... Do I say thank you or should I send something back?

Back To School

2010-01-05T22:25:00.003+08:00

Happy New Year dear readers... I'm 5days late! Haha.. But it's been an awesome fun-filled 5days of this year for me. How about you??

Okay this might sound a bit random but the past six months of my life has been liberating!

Despite the fact that there are a lot of things that I cannot do and the time-constraint that comes with working around the clock, I really like the working life loads more than studies! Hence, coming back to university this semester to complete my Bachelor's Degree is just so.. -_-

Especially when I have lecturers like this...

Who's doesn't even know how to make a proper entry-level PowerPoint slide...

who uses notepad to teach?? seriously!

Either that or he's trying very hard to make us all squint-eyed nerds!

UKM.. how I wish I can say I like being here!

Dear Blog

2009-12-25T01:23:00.004+08:00

It's been awhile since I last confided in you anything of great importance to me, I guess I'm still getting the hang of all that has been going on around me.

My bad.

But anyhow, here's a little something for you to remember, on Christmas Day 2009, after a long day of preparing and cooking up a nice dinner with the wonderful Liaw family who have been nothing short of a blessing to me for the past year, I now find myself lying on my usual spot... thinking.

There are many things running through my mind now at this crazy hour (it's 1.30am now) but mainly, a certain Christmas few years back is playing in my mind.

~~~~~

A few years back, on Christmas day, at about this hour, I was in the car kissing the guy goodbye... knowing somewhere deep inside me that it will be the last time I will do so.

"I'll call you once I reach alright? I miss you already"

Those were the last words he said to me before I stepped out of his car with an emptiness in my heart.

"Goodbye"

I said to him, heading back into the house without looking back.

By the time I got out of my party stuff and got ready for bed, I was probably the last thing on his mind as he went about his travel arrangements and the like. What could I have done short of being whiny and selfishly demanding him to stay and prove me wrong? Nothing came to mind that I would want to do then so I let him go.

He never called.

I couldn't tell him that I wanted to end it over the phone when he called several days later so I let it be and listened to the familiar voice that sounded so distant, telling me half-truths that I didn't even bother registering into my mind. "When he gets back, I will tell him"

But I never did.

At least not before I went and did one of the stupidest

things that I could think of doing at that time.

On our supposed 1 year anniversary.

With his best friend.

~~~~~

Back then, I was a girl with very little to lose.

I was not taught to count my blessings because there weren't many to go around.

I was not aware of the value of my life, therefore I did not care much for the things I did with it.

And now that I know that those are all lies, that I do indeed have so much at stake, that I'm one of the most blessed person ever to live and that my life, accounts to so much, that people would literally die because of me... I just have to admit that there are still times when things are not all flowers and sunshine.

Haha... Even now, after a busy day of celebration and all... I am here emoing!

But just in case there is someone here reading this, if you are being emo on Christmas (or my sappy story made you emo), know that you are not alone in your misery... and that I am here to emo emo with you for now.

However, at day break, when I wake up to a new day... I won't stay emo!

So you better not let some silly thing keep you down!

Merry Christmas everybody... Many blessings to you and your loved ones... *cheers*

All I Want For Christmas

2009-12-21T01:55:00.000+08:00

...is in Ikea!!!

I went Christmas shopping in Ikea with Audrey and Sun last Friday and there was so many things that I wanted to buy from Ikea!! It's a good thing I don't have a lot of spare cash lying around or worse, a credit card. So I managed to keep my shopping spree under control.

We went to look around and I bought everything I needed for Christmas presents! Hehe.. Now I've got to get to work putting them together.. So fun! I just know that all the people that are receiving gifts from me are gonna love it to bits! I'm so excited!

Anyway, as I was walking along all the nice items for sale, this thought strayed into my mind and I started making a mental list of the things I would like to buy for my house... what color I want my kitchen to be, what kinda sofa I want, what type of bed, the cupboards and shelves.... and my eyes zoomed in on this!!!

Oh the love!!! I am so definitely gonna get one of these!!!!

What is your must-have item that you want for your house?

This snowy sheepskin rug is definitely at to the top of my must-have list!

Sunway Lagoon A Rip-Off?

2009-12-15T17:33:00.002+08:00

Did I mention that I went to Sunway Lagoon to celebrate my pre-birthday? No? Oh.. must've been in the other blog then!

Anyhow, I just feel like letting you folks know that Sunway Lagoon is indeed a very fun place to go with a bunch of your fun friends and I totally love the water park with all the slides and teapots pouring water down!! The roller coaster and crazy rides are fun too!

However, a word of caution for those of you who intend to go there anytime soon and you don't wanna spend a bomb on the ticket for all 5 parks (yes, they have 5 parks now), DO NOT waste your $$ on the Extreme Park!!

Reason is because almost every other thing at the park also you have to pay to play even though you paid for the park itself already! Reverse bungee have to pay, paintball have to pay, this pay that pay! Total rip-off man!

But as for me, I didn't have to pay a single cent to bring my pals there thanks to Project Alpha! Hehe... Just doing you guys a favor by letting you know.. that's all..

Aside from the Extreme Park, the rest of the place is just fun fun fun!!

Even the duck agrees with me!

To Write Love On Her Arms

2009-12-14T17:42:00.003+08:00

I have been wandering about this particular space on the net when I stumbled upon this piece of literary treasure...

"I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love, is revealed in our love. I have seen that this week and honestly, it has been simple: Take a broken girl, treat her like a famous princess, give her the best seats in the house. Buy her coffee and cigarettes for the coming down, books and bathroom things for the days ahead. Tell her something true when all she's known are lies. Tell her God loves her. Tell her about forgiveness, the possibility of freedom, tell her she was made to dance in white dresses. All these things are true."

I have not been reading a lot lately and I have not been reading a lot of good reads for a long time. Time to start doing that again.

Full story here.

Let Us Be Merry

2009-12-10T23:26:00.005+08:00

It's that time of the year again!

Shopping malls are bustling with shoppers hunting down the presents, merry folks bringing decorative items home to usher in the holiday cheer and families are making arrangements for reunions.

Very soon, a new year will be upon us and I am looking forward to the many great adventures ahead of me!

*singing* I'm dreaming of a white christmas~

Happy holidays bloggers and blog readers!

I hope all of you will have a memorable Christmas this year!!!

Note To Self

2009-12-08T16:44:00.007+08:00

Daily I subconsciously find things that makes me happy and puts me on top of the world, knowing the full truth that life is meant to be enjoyed.

But then I start noticing and comparing myself to those who are better off than me and slowly the "if only I have..." thoughts will come tearing down the mountain of joy that I've piled up for myself.

Refusing to admit defeat, I take a look on the other side of the coin and I am once again humbled. There are so many more who have so much less than me and here I am complaining.

Who am I to judge?

Who am I to compare?

I am now reminding myself again that the only one I am to compare myself to is the one who has been through it all and triumphed. The only one that I am supposed to imitate... Jesus Christ.

We are all unique in our ways because that is how we have been designed:

to ~~compliment~~ complement each other

A Trip To Cotton Candy Land

2009-12-05T22:50:00.008+08:00

Ok I'm gonna start off by confessing now that I've never felt more noob in all my life!

I'm a little past 20 years old *aherm*aherm* and I have never, I repeat, NEVER been on an airplane before!!!

How noob can that be?

Aih... So imagine the excitement I was in this morning when I got to experience my very first flight with MAS!

I was with this little monster and her daddy during the flight, so while waiting for boarding I took this picture of them! So nice!

I love the background and effect of this picture! So nice!!! Haha.. Then I proceeded to take pictures of other planes because ours is not here yet...

Air Asia plane

some other plane..

Then it was time to board so we all went in, and I guess from this picture you can more or less know where I was sitting! Hee..

...by the window!

Once we're all seated and comfortable, this little monster got a bit nostalgic and tears started streaming down her small little cheeks.

her emo moment!

So the daddy comforted her and talked her to sleep while I was busy taking picture after picture!

my house is somewhere in the far end of this picture! but I duno where..!

It's so exciting to see the buildings grow smaller, smaller, smaller until I feel like I'm looking at Google Maps! And after that... we've entered Cotton Candy Land!

Look at all the fluffy clouds!!! So cute!!!

at first they appear in big clumps

then as we flew higher they became smaller and scattered!

we flew into a cloud!

we're on top of the cloud now! woo!

hehe.. attempt at taking picture of the sun: FAIL

little monster sleeping like a baby all this time, missed everything!

someone will be very happy if all these were cotton candy!!! omg!!!!

love this picture! I'm such a good photographer! hahaha *vainpot moment*

breathtaking!

Since we were only flying from Penang to KL, it wasn't long before we were slowly heading back to earth... and I wonder what was the plane doing at this point of time when smoke came out from it's wings!

fart got so long and straight line wan meh?

Lower and lower we flew...

Zeroing in for touch down....

Smooth landing...

Docked!

And that's it! That's my first experience in flying!

Haha... Although it was only about 45 minutes long and not very adventurous, well, I gotta say it's an experience in itself getting to see the world from a different point of view. Now I can more or less understand when one of my best friends tell me why it's such a great joy for him to be a pilot. It is something totally different from sitting in a bus and going places.

Anyhow, thank you MAS for the enjoyable flight!

And sorry about the drool on your pillow, it was the baby! =P

Hehe... And just for the fun of it, let me introduce you to one of my cousins, who was waiting to pick us up at KLIA.

He must've had a looooong day!

Fluffy

2009-12-01T09:53:00.003+08:00

I'm feeling all fluffy inside!!!!

so cute!!!!!!!

But this is the first picture that appeared when I Google Imaged the word Fluffy! LOL

p.s. ok pls ignore this bimbo post.. it makes no sense I know.. =P

I Have A Lot Of Friends

2009-11-27T12:36:00.000+08:00

I vaguely remember sometime about two years ago, I was all alone in my hostel room.

Back then, FaceBook was still scarcely used and the in-thing was Friendster.

I remember browsing through profiles of my friends and I noticed a difference between the profiles of those friends who are Christians and those who are not. The difference? The Christians have a lot of friends. Like seriously a lot! And they all look so happening and so friendly and loving to each other, posting comments on each other's profiles talking about youth camps and stuff... I remember considering going to church just so I can get more friends!

Haha.. ok now I sound like some creepy friend-stalker but yea, that was what I felt back then.

Two years down the road, I've become part of the big family of His Sanctuary of Glory and it's not because I was busy gathering friends! There are a whole lot of reasons why I chose to follow Jesus but true enough, part and parcel of being in the house of God and belonging to a family of loving Christians... is to have friends, a lot of them, whether you like it or not!

I just love my friends, all of them!

Thank you everybody!!!

Got Weird Noises!

2009-11-25T14:57:00.000+08:00

I was home alone today... so as usual I was lying on the bed, Twittering and replying the flood of birthday wishes I've been getting on FaceBook since last night! (you guys are so sweet.. I love all of you!)

I was about to start work on my report when I suddenly got abit sleepy, so I thought I'd take a nap first. My eyes closing... sleepie.. and suddenly *krakkk*

What was that?

It sounds like... a plastic chair scraping the floor. But nobody's home.

Okay maybe just some neighbour's kids playing. Eyes closing... sleepie... and *krakkkk* again!!!

Ohkay... this is getting spooky....

*krakkk*krakk*

*windows banging sound*

Miao! I'm scared!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then the ferret came online and I told him...

nicki:

eh I'm at home alone

and ar...

I'm hearing sounds

weird noises!

ferret:

wakaka!! why??

the doggies not helping you??

nicki:

the doggies are outside

the noises are inside

got sound like ppl moving plastic chair

bang window

etc.

ferret:

wahaha..

nicki:

*scared*

ferret:

funny!! see u scared!!

nicki:

LAUGH SUMORE!

no help at all!

ferret:

wakaka!! HOW TO HELP U??

nicki:

*scared*

i close the door d..

ferret:

but i doubt it la..

maybe some monkey on the roof..

nicki:

ferret:

my house always have monkey playing on the roof..

nicki:

monkey where got take plastic chair and come inside the house to play wan

ferret:

piak, hahaha..u sure its in the house??

nicki:

yea

its the sound of plastic chair on the floor

*scared*

After that he offered to take me out for lunch so I can get away from the *krakkk* but first, I have to brave myself and go downstairs to take a shower!

I sang a song to comfort myself and went downstairs... all the chairs were fine and there was nothing moving around. Okay...

I went into the shower, got ready for a bath and then Waaaa!!!!!!!!

*loud scratching noises on the shower door*

Mamiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! I got so scared I couldn't even scream! The scratching stopped after awhile but I could see shadows under the door!!!

My first thoughts at that moment of panic was:

1. the monkey has invaded the house!

2. or maybe it's not the monkey but the other thing!!

3. I should just shout and bind it in the name of Jesus!!!

But eventually I hit the door with a loud bang, hoping it's just a monkey and said "Who's that?!"

...and I heard snickering laughter

I DON LIKE MY HOUSEMATE!!! SCARE ME FOR NO REASON!!!

*sobs*

Look-Alikes

2009-11-17T13:53:00.005+08:00

I cannot keep it to myself anymore...! I have to tell somebody! Anybody!

Don't you think that Prince Charles looks like somebody famous??

Yes? No?

Well...

I think...

I think think...

I think he looks just like...

DON'T YOU THINK SO???

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA!

How Much Worse Can It Get?

2009-11-13T15:59:00.002+08:00

If you think you've had a bad day and you realized that you lost a Rm10 without an inkling of where that red piece of paper went...

Don't get frustrated

You might just end up slipping down a few slippery steps and land on your butt.

~~~

If you think you've had enough with a lost Rm1o and a sore left butt cheek that hurts with every step you take...

Don't get frustrated

You might just end up slipping again 2 steps later.

~~~

If you think the day can't get any worse than this and you are just so angry at all this shit happening to you...

Don't get frustrated

You might just end up walking into the wrong toilet simply because you were too frustrated to even look at the sign outside...

~~~

And if you think that all of these things are not connected nor is it likely to happen to anyone all within a day...

It happened to me yesterday.

I'm not frustrated.

I really am not.

*because there are always worse things that can happen*

I Change My Mind

2009-11-10T22:36:00.004+08:00

I was in the middle of writing an angry-and-mad-at-the-world blog entry but then I decided...

my time is better spent sleeping

You're Meaningful To Me

2009-11-01T00:36:00.004+08:00

Yesterday was a Saturday like no other.

I woke up in the morning thinking that it's going to be a lazy Saturday where I can relax, laze around the house and update that project of mine.

I was right, for the most part of the day.

Managed to update the photo blog, watch some videos and catch up with the cute guys from Wong Fu Productions, read their blog and spammed Twitter quite alot, even took some pictures of myself. Hee..

Soon enough, half the day has flown by and I was still playing Cafe World on Facebook. Audrey come into the room and told me to get ready to go out. Apparently we're having a house party at Daddy's place!

Dressed up and ready to party!

Truth be told, I really did not expect much from the event mainly because I didn't even know what was the occasion (it's not like it was a Halloween party or anything like that) or even who to expect at the party.

As it turns out, quite a number of people showed up and even though I didn't know half of the guests, it sure looks like they were all having fun playing party games and getting to know new people. I was put in the sound box with the rest of the crew as I was in charge of handling the video mixer so I took a backseat and watched the people having fun and getting to know my Daddy's family members.

What a sight.

As the theme of the house party is "Bring A Friend" (corny I know but to the point!) the guests were given cute little cards that says

A Certificate of Gratitude For Being A Friend

So totally sweet right?

Whoever came up with that idea is just brilliant because not only did they give out those nicely designed cards for the people to write sweet notes to each other, they also provided frames for them to put the cards in!

So nicely done. I like.

Anyhow, after the party ended and everyone happily went home... the bunch of us gathered in the kitchen as usual for some chill out time. At the end of it, we were all busily writing and giving those cards to each other! If you've been to camps before, just picture that last day of camp where everyone is feeling nostalgic and appreciative of each other and you'll get the picture.

It was so much fun.. that it reminds me of the times in high school when we had all sorts of camps. We would do this nice thingy that we call 'Affirmations' where we put up envelopes with everybody's name on it (sort of like a mailbox) and anyone can drop little notes of encouragement or secret love letters there for you! I loved the idea so much that I kept all the notes I got from all the camps in a box I call my 'Memory Box'.

I keep all sorts of memorable stuff in here...

From those affirmation notes to birthday present wrappers to... MPH Quill Quarterly.

Hahahahahaha... How lousy! I kept them because I never ever seem to get any snail mail last time so when MPH sent them to my house with my name on the envelope I got so excited I kept them until now!

I feel so happy today that I have more things to put into my Memory Box...

And to those who are reading this and if you have made it this far, I shall leave you with nice passage taken from Philip Wang's blog:

When we were younger I think that we were given more opportunities to receive and give written words or encouragement or appreciation (Vday cards in elementary school, cards to your friends, notes you pass to your gfs or bfs, that sort of thing). As we get older, it's less likely for that to happen... who has time to write "feelings"? But the written word is so powerful. It physically lasts and is not as easily forgotten as spoken words.

Don't you think it's so true?

I do.

Puyo Puyoo

2009-10-30T21:23:00.005+08:00

A couple of weeks ago, I discovered something amazing!

Since I started working in KL and following Audrey to work, we've been waking up early in the morning and going around the various eateries in Petaling Jaya hunting for breakfast before heading to our office.

Among the usual places we like to go is PJ Old Town where they sell the cheapest nasi lemak ever.

Can you believe this delicious packet of goodie costs only RM1.00? Haha... I couldn't believe it myself at first.

Then there's another coffee shop that we like to go that is somewhere in the heart of PJ but I dunno how to describe it... Gosh I just realized how bad with directions I can be sometimes! Anyway, this place that I'm talking about sells the best Wan Tan Mee ever...

First time I had Wan Tan Mee with Herbal Soup and Chicken with the red red thingy that I like so much but no idea what it's called. Yummmm....

Then there's another place that we love to go, located behind the row of banks at PJ. There's a big parking lot there and a few cafes and coffee shops along the side. We always go to one of the coffee shop there and eat Chee Cheong Fan. I'm gonna take a picture of it the next time we go there! Haha...

And finally, the big discovery I was talking about... was found in a nice little modern coffee shop called Kopi Oh!

this pic stolen from someone else's blog heee

This Kopi Oh! is air conditioned, provides free wi-fi and serves good food at reasonable prices. I like! Most of the time when we have some time to kill while waiting to attend a night service at church, we'll come over here to hang out and it's located pretty near the Chee Cheong Fan place behind the rows of banks.

A few weeks ago, we were at Kopi Oh! as usual, having dinner while waiting to go to church after work. I was itching to try something new and so I ordered something I've never even heard of in my entire life.

What the heck is a Puyo Chicken Rice?

Puyo? What is Puyo? What does Puyo mean? Puyu I know la.. thats the bird that resembles a small sized chicken but Puyo? Hmm...

Now I don't usually do this but I'm glad I decided to be adventurous that day because when my Puyo arrived, this is what it looks like

.....

Uwaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! \(^o^)/

Oishiiii!!

*salivating*

Looks good? Well that is not the end of it because this Puyo doesn't just look good, it tastes AWESOME! Check out the egg's insides!

Fluffy! Feel like you're eating cotton candy but it's not too sweet. Totally awesome!

the last bite... =(

This dish is out of this world! I've never seen/tasted anything like it before and I'm definitely going back for more. One thing I don't really like though is that they put green pepper in it but other than that, this is one heck of a delicacy!

Nom nom nom...

You know you're losing it when you start doing nonsense like this

Seriously...

Law Abiding Citizen Premiere Screening

2009-10-21T13:16:00.003+08:00

This movie is good! Go watch it tomorrow! Haha... I just watched with all the Nuffies and lucky Nuffnangers at the Premiere Screening last night! Ho ho ho!

I loved the plot, loved the acting, didn't really like the part where someone was horrendously mutilated but overall, it's a good show!

There is one scene though that I didn't quite understand cause when they found Gerard Butler and was gonna go catch him from his house, Gerard started taking off his pants. By the time the cops busted into his place, he was naked. But then, when they cuffed him up and took him out of the house...

His pants were magically back on his butt! Haha.. I poked my ferret friend beside me and asked him, "Hey I thought the first thing he took off was his pants? Why is it back on?" and his response was, "Wah! You so badly want to see is it?". Aihh... These people... No attention to details at all..

See if you can catch this when you guys watch it tomorrow and let me know why his pants were back on yea? Hehe..

Oh and if you guys watched Scary Movie 3 before... I tell you, the moment I realised who Jamie Foxx's wife was, I couldn't help but imagine her smacking the fly on the tv and then fighting with the ghost within! Haha..

remember Brenda? hehehe

Sorry if I totally spoilt the show for you now.. please forgive me and go catch this show in cinemas tomorrow! =P

Premiere Screenings

2009-10-20T10:26:00.003+08:00

Exactly a week ago, I was at Tropicana Mall handling my very first movie screening on my own!

*applauds self*

David was so kind to send me there from office and also buy me Subway for dinner.

Thank you David!

He's so nice.. Haha

Anyway, I managed to get ferret to join me for the movie as well as to fetch me back after (hee) and you know what? He never stopped reminding me of how much of a sacrifice he made simply because he read the reviews beforehand. Suffice to say, the movie is nothing to shout about aside from the fact that Kate Beckinsale looks hot in ONE shower scene.

-___-

Personally, I found the parts where they were fighting in the whiteout quite blur as there was so much snow and I had no idea who was slashing who and who fell down and who was running where...

I hope Law Abiding Citizen tonight will not be so blur!! >.<

Monkey Business

2009-10-16T09:35:00.003+08:00

I was walking down the road heading to the office this morning when a red truck flew by me in a flurry of sirens. To my surprise, it stopped right outside of my office building!

Immediately I looked up, trying to detect the first hint of smoke coming from the building but I saw none. My curiosity piqued, I waited to see what was going on..

Hee..

Soon enough, my curiosity was satisfied.

see anything here? no?

how about this picture? you see it?

haha.. probably not in this picture..

As it turns out, the fire engine rushed all the way to Heritage Row with their sirens and everything....

chiu... I thought wat.. *swt*

Just to clean up some monkey business!

My Source Of Inspiration

2009-10-10T01:55:00.005+08:00

If you have followed my blog long enough ~~or if you're so free you're going to check my archives for my noob posts~~ then you will know that I am a Kennysia reader.

More than a year ago when I started taking blogging seriously, it was because I read his funny post on How To Make Your Own Official World Cup Ball!

Haha... That blog post can still make me laugh now. Freakin funny!

After reading that entry, naturally I was looking for more funny posts and the more I read his blog, the more I got hooked.

It was addictive.

Till now, I still check his blog every now and then for a good laugh. But it is a fact that he has been pretty busy lately with his secret project and all..

I kinda miss the funny times when he'd post something whacky in the wee hours of the day and make everybody's day brighter for it.

That being said, if I were to choose a reason why I love to watch Project Alpha, I would say it's because I get to see more of Kenny! The stuff that he's never put in writing on kennysia.com before... and also what he looks like now, got fatter or thinner already or not.. haha ok I sound like an official stalker now! >.<

And just to show how much I like kennysia.com, here's a video I made.. (omg I can't believe I'm posting this up! omgomgomg)

See Kenny? You are still an inspiration to me!

So Busy!

2009-10-08T15:37:00.003+08:00

Bloggie is not happy with me lately.. Apparently I've been ignoring it.

Where got? I so did not abandon bloggie!

And to prove my point, here I am.. Blogging! At work! *woops*

Yea see I'm supposed to be working so this is just a short update... to make bloggie happy..

Don't angry anymore ok? I show you funny video here.

(click this picture also can link to the video)

Hee hee!

It's Krrunch Time, Get Playful!

2009-10-03T10:23:00.006+08:00

I can't believe I've already been working for 3 months!

It felt like yesterday was my first day at work.. feeling awkward and getting to know my new colleagues.

Now that I've been working around the clock everyday 5 days a week, I can safely say that I have grown to become a sleepy monster.

Yes, this is what I look like on Saturday mornings... as well as every weekday after work! Now don't get me wrong, I have a good time at work and all but somehow I just end up tired and stoned whenever I get home. T_T

I try to come online and update my blog

play some games and reply my emails

but somehow I always end up falling asleep! So boring!!

"Aih.. What should I do to make my life more interesting?" I was thinking aloud to myself while walking around the house one day and then I saw it! I saw it!!! I saw....

PRINGLES!!

Wow!!! I love Pringles!!!!

hehe.. love love picture!

Sleepy? What sleepy? It's krrunch time!!

First I gotta rip open that bottle of krrunch.

Told myself, "Nicki! Don't be scared by the flashing white light!"

Bright white light faded and revealed my favourite krrunchy snack: The Pringles!!!

Little Monster and Big Monster

2009-09-28T16:07:00.003+08:00

It's been three months since I last went home to Penang.

I miss my family.

I miss my mom.

I miss... a certain little monster who calls me "ee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"!

isn't she adorable?? *hugs*

Just a few days ago I was alone in the office at lunchtime as everyone else has gone out for their lunch and my sister nudged me on MSN. She was with the daughter and she wanted the usual...

she likes to see me draw ultraman fighting the monster and then monster fall down and ultraman fly away.

show you all the full series when I got mood lah...

I was in the middle of something so I drew a quick one for her and Ultraman ended up looking like a stickman instead.

Hehe...

The little girl was not satisfied so I had to redraw.

After everybody recovered from laughing, my sister typed...

Sis+niece: Why ultraman so fat wan?

Nicki: uh.. umm...

Sis+niece: Why? Whyyy? Why so fat wan???

Nicki: Ultraman eat too many raya kuih so he put on weight lor.

It's not easy to draw with just a mouse okay? Stop laughing!

Something Is Taking Over My Life

2009-09-25T10:20:00.005+08:00

Gone were the days when I used to blog every single day. If you were to look into my dusty archives, I used to blog a few times a day!

Wuwuwu...

Working life is not easy. It's fun and all but there's only 24hours in a day and somehow time really flies when you are busy.

Just a week ago I started getting hooked onto something new.

It's like... I'm so busy with work already and there's all my church activities as well to pack up my weekends but now...

now...

I'm hooked on....

Project Alpha!!!

This show is good I tell you! For a blogger like me who follows the Alpha bloggers' blogs, it's really something to witness what these 'celebrities' in the blogosphere are like in person! I mean, you read about them, you see all the photos, you laugh at their jokes.. but it only makes you want to see what they're really REALLY like in reality!

They've just begun showing Nicolekiss' episodes and you get to see all the places that she's been to all over the world. Nice.. If only I can have her life.. T_T

I also found Fourfeetnine's episode in the gym super funny! Haha.. I think I might just end up like that if anyone were to drag me to gym!

Aih... This Project Alpha is becoming a daily routine for me.. Can't wait to watch Kenny Sia ! !

It's Okay To Be A Poser

2009-09-23T13:58:00.004+08:00

Have you ever found yourself standing in front of a camera... frozen?

Don't know what to do with your hands? Legs? Body? Face? Smile or no smile? Show teeth or don't show?

Or you find yourself tagged by your friends(and strangers) all too often in Facebook striking countless crazy poses?

Whichever category you belong to, fret not because here's a nice video that everybody will enjoy! Its a long one so don't say I never warned ya...

...and to show how nice I am and also to make sure that you don't give up on the first minute of the mockumentary, here's the trailer for you to enjoy first!

Interested now? Hee..

*to any Wong Fu fans reading this: Wes looks absolutely cute in this one!!!!

Here's the real thing then... ENJOY!

Personally I found Japanese Fun PPA-CU 523 very funny cause I did it before! Hee...

I wonder what's YOUR favourite PPA?

**aiyak! now only I realise the video can't be viewed fully here cuz it's widescreen! ishh... anyway, here's the link for you guys.. Poser! Go and watch it in full!

***hehe.. thanks Robb for pointing out that I can actually resize the videos.. I feel so noob now.. -__-

Music Should Be Free

2009-09-17T09:28:00.006+08:00

I love DiGi because they think so too!

Well.. at least for the first 30days but it's better than nothing right? I mean.. RM5 a month for unlimited music is a totally fair price to pay!

And the best part is that they don't give you those old school collections of Britney Spears' virgin songs that nobody wants to listen to anymore. Just head over to the site and you'll see the Black Eyes Peas, All American Rejects and the like flashing around in a box!

I don't mean the other kind of flashing la.. what were you thinking? tsk tsk..

There's so many nice things to discover about this DiGi Music Club! The more I look the more I want to look.. so I went and signed up!

yeah! that's me right on the top of the list!

And so I found out that after logging in as a member there'll be more treats to discover. Here let me share with you a few.. Hee...

first up: this cool rotating thingy that displays everything that DiGi Music Club has to offer you!

I thought that the idea of DiGi giving us free music is already good enough but look! They're giving members a chance to win some awesome stuff too. Wah.. DiGi.. You're so NICE!! *hugs*

I want to go see the Black Eyes Peas!!!

Somemore they have a wide range of songs cleanly organized into different languages and genres for your browsing pleasure!

Bangla songs also got! Haha.. Funny!

Not to mention you can also create your own playlists and listen to other people's playlists in the site as well. So good right? You can finally make your friends/parents/brother/cat/dog listen to the same songs you're listening to simply by sending them the link to your playlist!

that Zippo's picture is cute.. maybe I'll use Dug as my picture! Hehehe...

Ok enough of my descriptions. If you want to know more then faster go to DiGi Music Club and sign up.

I'm busy downloading my songs already so kthxbai!

I got the Boom Boom Pow! Yay!

Today...

2009-09-15T13:38:00.006+08:00

I can't believe the day has come!!!

He's finally going to do it, things are changing too fast! Time please slow down!!

It was only two months ago that we were having so much fun just hanging out and teasing each other...

Only two months ago when we were basking in the glory of our friendship and enjoying all the good laughs together...

Two months ago, he was still the goofy Mr. Chicken Chop that can put a smile on everybody's face in any situation...

I've always enjoyed the relationship we had, the trust and respect we had for each other that allowed us to be completely honest with each other and still not harbour any 'i-wish-i-could-kill-that-annoying-thing-grr-arr-roar' kind of feelings.

I almost killed him for making us watch this movie though!

He's not perfect, but he has always been a great companion to me...

I know I'm with good company when I can simply be myself and do all sorts of silly things around them.

But today...

everything is going to change.

Today... He's going away.

I miss my best friend... :'(

YOU BETTER COME BACK IN 9MONTHS OR ELSE I'LL GET PILOT CHUAN TO FLY ME THERE TO HUNT YOU DOWN!

Ice Ice Baby

2009-09-12T12:08:00.007+08:00

The whole purpose of this picture is to make you drool..

DROOL!!

So what did you end up doing on 090909?

Or you don't even know what 090909 means? Shame on you!

090909 was a working day for me as usual. I went to the office, did the usual stuff, nothing extraordinary but at the end of the day I really didn't feel like taking the train back to my hostel so I made a phone call and arranged an impromptu hangout session.

Venue: Mill Wheel Ice Cafe, somewhere in Puchong

I've heard my roomate mention about 'eating ice' a few times before but I never got the chance to find out what its all about until now. The place is a nice colorful cafe with comfy couches and also practical dining tables so you can go there for a nice meal or simply to get a drink and chill with pals. I think they provide wi-fi as well because I saw the guys in the picture above doing something on their laptops.

my 365 picture of the day!

I love the place! It has a very clean and airy feel to it..

Even though the waiter lady is quite scary but overall I really like the setting of the cafe.

that's the scary waiter lady

Most important of all, there's plenty of mirrors all around the place!

I like! Hee..

While the highlight of their menu is basically the various types of shaved ice items, there are also a few odd items such as the Cold Dog.

hot dog bun with ice in the middle... weird!

And also some Healthy Bendo dishes

the chicken must be pretty bendy

I wanted to eat this

but the scary waiter lady said there's no more left so I ordered the Lotus Pancake instead

I love Lotus Pancake! Where can I get some of these???

and it was unavailable as well! Sheesh.. Why don't you give me a menu of things that you actually have in stock.. *grumble* In the end, we settled for some special series shaved ice on a wok..

It came looking like this

Cold and delicious! I like! Hehe...

I took alot of pictures.. Purposely to make you drool! See...

nata de coco on the top

peekaboo!

yummy...

the milk tea is on top of the chocolate

Seen enough? You want a spoonful? Nah.. open mouth big big!

*aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*

Muahahahahahahahaa!!!!

Sweet revenge for all the times when I'm feeling hungry and have to look at mouth watering food pictures on all your blogs!

Blogger's Birthday?

2009-09-08T17:18:00.005+08:00

I was about to update my Project 365 when I noticed a little something different about blogger's logo!

Have you seen this?

www.blogger.com's anniversary coming up ah?

What's the occasion?

Whose birthday is it?

Anybody know?

Never Drink And Drive

2009-09-07T15:07:00.009+08:00

I'm a big fan of racing thanks to baka chuan!

He was always asking me to watch F1 on weekends and introducing me to movies like Fast & Furious.

Before long, I found myself hooked to fast cars and their hot drivers...

*drool*

Paul Walker!!! Omygosh!

However, as a driver myself, I have always been an advocate of safe driving which means to drink and drive is an absolute no no! So I went and looked up Johnnie Walker's website when I saw that they were asking people to Join the Pact to never drink and drive.

How nice of them to advocate safe driving as well! I'll join!

I was given a choice to either sign for Lewis Hamilton or Mika Hakkinen. Haha.. I'd rather sign for an uncle than to sign for the ham! So I did!

they ask who I think will win so I said "Mika! Simply because I contributed to his win!" hehe

Wanna see what my signature looks like?

Nice leh?? Haha.. Now go and Join the Pact together with me for the sake of ~~Mika Hakkinen~~ safe roads!

Now if you're a fan of Mika Hakkinen I've got good new for you because he's gonna be here in Malaysia this weekend! Also, if you click on this link, there are plenty of interesting offers for you to discover! Hehe...

Go on! Click it!

There's A Monkey In My Phone!

2009-09-06T23:49:00.002+08:00

I bought a new phone a few days ago.

I really like it.

There's a monkey sitting inside my new phone.

When it's hungry, I hook it up to the charger to feed the monkey with bananas.

I'm not lying!

See?

Hehehehe... So cute!

Yam Pot

2009-09-05T12:34:00.005+08:00

Do you know what a Yam Pot is?

Have you tried one before? You know, alot of Chinese weddings serve it during the banquet. Even those Chinese restaurants.

The Yam Pot is also known as the Treasure Box in certain menus but I like to call it Yam Pot.

The name sounds good.

I started eating before I remembered to take a picture.. paiseh!

Now I haven't been to a Chinese wedding banquet in awhile so I haven't been eating Yam Pot for quite some time but one fateful Sunday after lunch, I looked up at the white board hanging on the wall of one of our favourite cafes and I saw the two magic words...

YAM POT

Wuah! I want!!!!!!!

The craving started. I don't know about you but sometimes I get these weird cravings for food that I love but haven't had the chance to taste for a very long time! Since I had already consumed my lunch when I spotted that item on the board, I told myself that I will return to eat this! Soon!

Weeks went by...

There was even a time when I went to this Happy Seasons Cafe and they had this item on their menu but they called it the Treasure Box over there. But I didn't order it. Ahh~~ cravings cravings!

~~~~~

Anyway, this morning I had the opportunity to go back to the first cafe and without even looking at the menu I told the lady,

"I want one Yam Pot please!"

The lady cast a funny look my way and asked if I wanted rice with it but I said

"No! Yam Pot only thank you!"

So I waited... and when it arrived I digged in without hesitation! Nom nom nom...

here's a blur close-up for you to see! (sorry ya, handphone camera no macro mode)

and this is what it looks like 20 minutes later

There was so much yam in the pot that I couldn't finish it but I did manage to nom nom all the good stuff in the pot! It was so delicious but very filling at the same time. Halfway through consuming the pot I was actually thinking whether this was meant to be shared by a few people instead of eating as a dish in itself but I was having a mild case of sore throat and cough so I didn't want to infect the others.

So I ate it all.

And then we asked for the bill.

And the Yam Pot cost me RM18.00.

The one most ridiculously expensive breakfast I've ever had.

there was like RM8 worth of leftover Yam Pot!

I hate Yam Pots.

Things Running Through My Mind

2009-09-03T09:23:00.005+08:00

So many things have been happening around me lately.

Last week I was sitting at the station waiting for a late train when a bunch of college kids came and stood in front of me, talking very loudly. They were not very different from any bunch of college kids; they're loud, they think they're funny and they were headed to a camping trip. With bags and an old guitar clutterred around them, one of the fatter guys answered his phone that was ringing. After saying goodbye he announced to his pals,

"I got C for my Calculus and Chemistry! OMG!".

Normally I would think that the next line coming from the plump boy would be something along the lines of "die lah.." "why so crappy results wan" "my mom's gonna kill me!" but I got a surprise when he went on to say

"Wahaha! I'm so happy I didn't fail this time!"

Whoa there! What? C for two subjects in college and he's happy? What would his mom say?

"My mom checked my results for me online! She called just now!

Haha... Let's celebrate!"

What is our education system producing nowadays?

----------

Yesterday my boss gave me half a day off work to help him send his maid to the airport.

Reason for her immediate departure to Jakarta being that her son just passed away. Overnight, in a hospital. He had no prior illness, at least not that she knew of, and his life ended just like that, oceans apart from his loving mother.

Mortality is not a joke.

I feel abit heartless for not going home for the past 3 months.

----------

Finally, these little snippets I'm gonna share with you is a short conversation I had with a 13 year old boy on Facebook through this app called Friends For Sale.

Kids... Don't know what they're talking about!

Murderer Premier Screening By Nuffnang

2009-08-27T09:40:00.006+08:00

I repeat, I.Do.Not.Like.Horror.Movies!

Tuesday night, we all went to Cathay Cineplex Damansara for the premier screening of Murderer. I asked the Liaw sisters and mummy Liaw to come along as I've been bunking at their place for so long already so I thought it'll be nice to treat them to a free movie.

Bad move.

If it had been something cute and funny like Up, then we would've had a great time.

Dug is super cute and adorable omg I want a dog like him!

As it turns out, Murderer is super disturbing.

So disturbing that for the most part of the show I was hiding behind my jacket and peeking at the screen because the scenes are so gory that it blows my mind how people can actually come up with such a script and create such a movie.

We all left the cinema feeling like >.<

Look at his creepy eyes! Murderer!

Until today they're still on my desk.. Haunting me with the creepy eyes everyday! NooooooO!

I really feel like murdering all the people who come up with sick movies like these.. so NBTD!

On a brighter note, it was fun meeting Nuffnangers and seeing so many bloggers in person. So many nice people with happy smiles collecting their free tickets from me... not knowing that they're walking into a sickdisturbinghorrifyingsuckymoviecalledmurderer!!!

Aihhh... Final Destination is next week. Doom and gloom. I don't want to watch! >.<

Goodbye Crutchie

2009-08-21T11:33:00.006+08:00

This is my ~~crotch~~ crutch...

Ever since I twisted my leg and became temporarily disabled, this stick has been by my side everywhere I go. I leaned on it with each step that I took and it helped alot in taking the pressure off my ankle.

Two days ago, I gave it away to a worm. The girl who helped me treat and wrap up my foot the day I injured it. Turns out, she also sprained her ankle a few days ago while trying to avoid some monkeys. I nearly fell down an escalator. She fell down an open drain.

~~HAHAHAHA! It's so bad to laugh but it just sounds so funny!~~

Anyway, I'm free to walk now without assitance... No more leaning lopsided and hobbling with a stick!

ok I know I look so sleepy here but it was 7am and I'm heading to work, not fully awake yet..

So happy! Yay!

The Road To Recovery

2009-08-18T23:57:00.000+08:00

Hi all!!!

It's been a week since my unfortunate trip at KL Sentral and I'm now at the end of my recovery process already! I'm so happy to be going back to the office tomorrow and be productive again! Haha.. Although staying at home and resting is good and all but it's just not the funnest thing to do. Plus I feel so bad for slacking off work simply because of one lousy ankle.

Anyway, since I twisted my foot last Monday, I've been to a total of 5 clinics.

Crazy huh?

The last picture I showed of my twisted ankle was only the beginning of my troubles because at that time, I sincerely thought that a good night's sleep would do wonders in subduing the swelling. Obviously, it's my first time having a sprained ankle.

I woke up on Tuesday morning totally intending to go to work as usual but one step off the bed had me wincing in pain as it freakin hurts to even move the leg. So I started calling up friends, asking for a ride to the nearest doctor.

Lau was kind enough to wake up and fetch me to the big clinic at Bangi but he had to take off after dropping me there because he had a class to go to.

I hobbled into the clinic and saw a thousand people in there. No kidding!

I don't want to get ahini here! >.<

After an hour of waiting, my name wasn't even registered yet! You want to know why? I'll show you why. See the chart over there?

That's an entire chart that shows how the clinic is run.

all I see on the board is major inefficiency and some uncle's balding scalp

Sun came over in awhile and I showed her my foot...

it wasn't black black last night!!

...and I was shocked to see the black patch of horror on it! Immediately she fetched me over to UKM's Pusat Kesihatan but we left that place just as fast because there were alot of people waiting in there as well.

So off we went to yet another clinic which is nicer than the first two with less patients but I still ended up waiting another hour and 30 minutes because there was only one doctor on duty.

When I finally got called in by the nurse, I hobbled into an empty room...

with super cold aircon blowing directly down on me

...cold, abit scared and in pain, I was just glad that I had a most reliable friend there with me, ready to help me take pictures of my swollen ankle when the doctor finally came and removed the bandaging to take a look at the leg.

It was not a pretty sight.

To cut the long story short, doc ordered me to go over to the clinic next door and get my foot xray-ed.

It took another hour altogether and I brought the results back to the first doctor.

Good news of the day: No broken/fractured bones! Yay!

But I still had to stop putting pressure on the foot so I went and got myself some crutches and hobbled around on it.

With the help of crutches, doctor's pills, some chinese medication and alot of prayer... I was on the road to recovery!

But because I couldn't stay put and going to work involved climbing up and down some seriously long staircases, the swelling kept coming back at the end of each day so I went to the fifth and last clinic yesterday. This doctor gave me another bunch of horrible pills and ordered me to take two days off to really sit down and not move about.

this is seriously the most awful tasting medicine I've ever been prescribed

Which was exactly what I needed because now the swelling is gone and I can go to work tomorrow without my crutches already! No more self-imposed home-quarantine!!

Muahahahahahaha!!!

What a long winded blog post this one is turning out to be. Hehe... Anyhow, if you have managed to read up till here there are only two possibilities that I can think of which is

1. You somehow know me personally and feel kinda "kaypo" about what happened to me

2. You really have nothing to do and thought it'll be fun to read about my miseries but you're currently wondering why you're still reading this long winded post.

Whichever you are, I'd appreciate some comments here just so I can thank you for your time spent here. Haha.. and to all well-wishers and kind people who have been praying for me, thank you so much!!! I'm very thankful for friends like you!!!

I Twisted My Foot

2009-08-12T17:03:00.002+08:00

10th August 2009

On this fateful night, around 8pm, I was at KL Sentral.

As I was rushing down the escalator, wanting to catch a train back, it happened.

I was merely two steps away from safe landing but as I placed my left foot in front of my right, it landed on the step at the wrong angle and went "CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!"

VERY.LOUD + VERY.PAIN

Those were the first two thoughts that echoed in my mind as a nice girl tries to help me hobble twenty yards ahead to grab a seat. I mustered all the strength I could and declined, then made my way behind the pillar by the escalator and sat on the floor instead.

Tears were flowing freely from my eyes by then.

I took a look at the leg.

It was swollen.

Bad.

So I waited until the next train came along, hobbled into it and a gracious young man offered his seat to me. Managed to choke out a tearful "thank you" then sat myself down and the whole journey flew by in a flurry of tears.

Got out of the train at UKM station and another good samaritan came along and helped me hobble up and down the stairs to the other side of the platform and promptly fetched me all the way back to my hostel without so much as asking for my name.

Mr. Assistant Designer from Maxis, if you ever happen to read this, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!

After getting out of the car, I hobbled into my block, waited for a certain worm to come to my rescue but she didn't answer my phone calls so I hobbled up 4 flights of stairs and finally crashed on my bed. Exhausted and in excruciating pain.

see the mountain that's planted itself so conveniently on my foot? it freaking hurts!

This is what my ankle looked like by then. After a few minutes of waiting, the worm came along and placed ice packs on the offending swell. It was temporary relief so that I could go and hobble to the bathroom to take a bath. After I was all cleaned up, she put some Menzza on my foot and proceeded to wrap it up like a dumpling for me.

My day was so eventful, wasn't it?

Delicious

2009-08-09T21:38:00.001+08:00

A month ago, I was living in PJ, being pampered silly by the Lee sisters ~~not my biological sister~~ and taken out to fun places after work to chill and be silly. Staying over at their place is like a mini holiday each time because I can always expect unexpected surprises like make-your-own-sandwich-day!

Other times, we will just go out with a few fun people and do silly things like this

if there's a photo contest for weird monster lookalikes this one will win hands up!

Haha.. What a ridiculous pose!

You see, before this picture was taken we were having desserts at this place somewhere in the heart of Mid Valley.

Janet had been raving about this place since forever and for the past 6-7 times that we were in Mid Valley, we always failed to try out this place! And the whole reason why she always insist that we come here is just to grab a bite of the famous pavlova...

No idea what it is? Me neither! Until I saw this...

uwaaaaaaah!!! *drool*

If I were an anime character you'd see me with the big shiny round eyes right now just looking at the culinary masterpiece!

O_O

Haha.. Ok maybe not but trust me when I say that this is one hecka delicious treat after meal!

errr... I meant the pavlova, not the girl!

Perfect for those with a sweet tooth because it's really really sweet.

Also, because there were five of us at that time...

Sek Sek and Rebecca

Ferret and Janet

One pavlova was not enough to satisfy our cravings so we ordered this as well!

another sweet dessert: tiramisu!!

After finishing the two sugary bombs...

We were all sugar high!

...and a little bit tired

but all in all, happy and satisfied!

Ah.. I miss times like these... I wonder when is the next time we can do this again...

I want to go out and play!!!

Limited Edition Gundam Plastic Model

2009-08-07T15:05:00.000+08:00

Calling all Gundam fanatics! I have shocking news for you!!!

First of all, being a Gundam fan myself, you are not considered a Gundam fanatic if you don't buy plamos ok? Don't know what plamo means? Then you are not even close to being labelled a Gundam fanatic because real Gundam fanatics are also plamo collectors!!

See this?

yataa!

This is Disneyland for Gundam fanatics! And this...

sugoi...

is their idea of interior designing!

When everyone is busy studying Quantum Physics they're poring over plamo manuals!

And when they're high...

yamete kudasai! >.<

*cough*cough*

Okayyy... Moving right along.. Real Gundam fanatics are people who spend countless hours and ringgits on their plamo collection and then they take pictures of their toys as if they're real creatures with souls.

look into my soulful eyes...

So, as a favor to all these people out there, I have to show you what I saw on the internet awhile ago that completely shocked me. I may not be a Gundam fanatic but I am a fan of the anime and I really, really find it disturbing that they would do such a thing to an innocent proud plamo!

Behold....

The one and only

PRINCESS PLAMO!!!

*screams*

Princess Plamo says: Ohaiyo!! Minna san ogenki desuka?

Mite! Mite! Watashi no butt wa kawaii desu ne? Ne?

Watashi no shield mo kirei desu ne? Ne?

Pose time!

hiyakk! action! fight-oh!

ah... harahetaa na!

dou? watashi wa ii desuka? <3>

Sick Day

2009-07-28T22:40:00.006+08:00

I know I just posted the infested VeGood thing about a week ago but I don't think this has much to do with that.

Anyway, yesterday I had to stay in bed instead of going to work as usual because I woke up with a sudden dizziness and nausea attack. It felt like.. vertigo. I was all prepared and ready to walk out of my room when the weirdness started so I just sat back down and decided that it's not a good idea to go out like this.

Woke up around noon feeling very groggy and tired (even after the 5extra hours of sleep between 7am and 12noon) so I asked my roomate to take me to the health centre. She bought me lunch (so nice of her!!) and told me to wait until 2pm because apparently the health centre is on lunch break til 2.15 p.m.

Sometimes I wonder why people are still coming into UKM each year..

So she dropped me off to the health centre at 2pm and the place was packed! You'd think there was a mega sale going on inside until you see the herd of sick looking people wearing masks and coughing/sneezing.

I sat down and waited to get my number. 30minutes passed before they called my name.

I looked at the number they gave me and proceeded to do some simple calculations.

11 patients to go before it is my turn.

If each patient takes 3minutes, then it should be 11 x 3 = 33minutes of waiting only!

That's bearable! So I waited...

and waited...

and waited until the girl sitting opposite me also fell asleep already...

After half an hour it was still at 2038! That means eight more patients before my turn!!

I don't know how I managed to sit still and wait for so long but in the end I waited about 1hour 20minutes and then went in to talk to the doctor for two minutes. In that brief two minutes the doctor asked me what happened, what's wrong, what do I think is the cause of my symptoms and proceeded to diagnose me with

Tension Headache?!?

What kind of lousy diagnosis is that? Tension Headache? Is there even such a thing? This has got to be the most ridiculous diagnosis in my entire medical history!

After taking the MC from the doctor and collecting my medication...

I like the egg shaped vitamins, they're sweet!

I have successfully endured two whole hours of waiting at the health centre. Talk about efficiency. If impatience was a fatal disease I would've died and gone to heaven already.

However, as ridiculously lousy as it gets, I still feel alot better already today. I think it's the sweet orangey egg shaped vitamins! Yummy!

VeGood, Is It Really Good?

2009-07-22T21:17:00.009+08:00

*WARNING: Rather disturbing pictures coming up later in this post. If you're the kinda person who pukes easily, please do not scroll down. This is not for the faint hearted. See I so good, got give warning!*

You know VeGood? The purple carrot juice?

It's one of my favourite drinks! I love VeGood!

So you can just imagine how happy I was when I saw the promotion at the hypermarket that says "Buy 3 Free 1", I didn't even think twice before grabbing them drinks and rushing to the counter. That was a few weeks ago when I was back in Penang.

Anyhow, I brought my 4 boxes of VeGood juice back to KL with me and enjoyed them slowly, drinking abit each day.

Recently, I developed this habit of pouring the juice out into a 100Plus bottle and bringing it to work. That's because VeGood is supposed to be enjoyed chilled and there's a refrigerator at work! How convenient... ^^,

However, the 100Plus bottle can't really contain the entire box of VeGood so when I bring some to work, there will be about half of it left in the box and tonight when I came back to my room to refill my bottle...

I found this

Waaaaargh!!! My precious VeGood!!! Infested!!! Boohoohoo!!! >.<

Now I know why.

Those cunning people... Purposely have the promotion to lure innocent VeGood addicts like me! Then, when I'm too distracted with joy, sneak in an expiring box of VeGood among the good ones!!!

purposely draw draw on the expiry date to distract people from seeing it somemore!

Those crooks!!! Grr... See what happened to my VeGood! See!!!

Not satisfied!! Must show you what it really looks like! See!!!

Super close up!!! See!!

looks abit like chocolate chip cookies right?

Hmph! Luckily I got another box of VeGood left! Still clean and unopened yet.

It better not get infested!! Grr...

*Disclaimer: As you can see clearly from the expiry date, the carrot juice is not expired yet but it is one whole month ahead of the other 3boxes in terms of shelf life and the first two box that I opened did not have such a problem. It was left in the same conditions over a similar period of time as compared to the first two boxes of juice. I wonder why this one had to go rotten. The first half box of the juice tasted really good though... the one I poured into my 100Plus bottle before this happened. Hehe..

Some Running Thoughts and Random Updates

2009-07-20T21:09:00.005+08:00

Look at the state of my blog, practically screaming for an UPDATE!!!

Only 3 months ago I would've said to myself "Excuses..." if anyone were to tell me that they don't have the time to blog. I mean, come on! If you can spend hours chatting on MSN, playing Facebook games, updating Twitter (all of which I am still quite actively doing at the moment) then why cannot blog?

However, looking at the number of posts that I successfully put up here since May, I have to admit I myself have fallen victim to the "no time" syndrome. Dang!

Let me tell you why I haven't been updating as often as I used to ~~even though I know nobody wants to know but I just feel like saying it anyway~~:

1. Project Barnabas

Apostle Naomi Dowdy and Apostle Indri Gautama among the congregation of HSG Global Ministries

An entire week of Global Conference in His Sanctuary of Glory where pastors from our family of churches all over the world come together to capture the vision that God has in store for them, learn from two great apostles that God has sent us and also to testify of God's works in their areas of ministry. For me, it was an awesome week of classes, train rides, media duties, great messages, lessons to learn and minimal sleep. I would've kicked myself if I had somehow found the time to blog then instead of sleeping away like a pig.

2. MAD Camp

the MAD people

Short for Making A Difference, MAD is a youth camp organized by the Soaring Eagles of HSG on an annual basis. It's a camp where lives are changed and people go mad with the amount of fun and awesomeness during the camp. It is also a time of non-stop Photoshopping for me as the Publicity Coordinator, having to oversee and produce the campbook, nametag, promo tags, etc. All this, right after Project Barnabas. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just... explaining. Hee!

3. Exams

I studied until I got so bored I started turturing bloodsuckers

Straight after MAD Camp, I had to shelf up all my creative juices and go back to academic mode. It was time for intense cramming as I've been busy for the entire short semester doing everything except studying. 6weeks worth of classes was crammed into and expelled out of my brain together with 3 days of back-to-back exams. Crazy though the experience was, I don't think I did too badly. In fact, I'm kinda anticipating my results and expecting good ones this time!

4. Thru the Roof 2

awesome sound bursting concert

The one week of semi-holidaying after my exam didn't really register much as all I did was go home for a few days and then I was back in KL again. The very same week, Saturday, was our second youth concert. Needless to say, there wasn't any time to chill or get lazy.

5. Work

picture stolen from boss's blog

Straight after that, I officially started my stint at Nuffnang... which means I now work around the clock, waking up real early to commute to the office in KL and then coming back at night just to crash on the bed and Zzz... Luckily my colleagues are not sleepy uncles/aunties/creepy geeks or I'll really fall asleep at work everyday!

With all that is going on in my life right now, it's amazing that I'm not stark raving mad yet. However, I know that I'm not doing this alone, and that in itself is enough to get me out of bed everyday to face the new challenges ahead.

On the bright side, if you really miss the ole Nicki who keeps you up to date with stuff that's going on almost everyday of my life, check out my Project 365! ~~Haha... Talk about shameless publicity!~~ I may not update on time daily but when I do, expect a post for each and every day that has passed. I am determined to keep it up no matter how busy I am!

Alternatively, you can stalk my Twitter for random updates! =D

Just in case you've forgotten what I look like, here's a recent picture of me!

with short fringe and plump cheeks.. gosh I look so chubby!!! >.<

^^,

Goodnight!

Even Inanimate Objects Are Facebooking!

2009-07-15T20:57:00.005+08:00

It all started when I logged into Facebook this morning...

Up in the little box of requests I saw that there's a new friend request for me.

Curious, I clicked on it.

I never knew this day would come... the day when Facebook is no longer limited to humans!

note this > Political Views: Anything that'll give rights to mattress'! What the...?

I know FB is the 'in' thing and that it's addictive and all but this just goes beyond explanation... What the heck would a Mat Tress be doing on Facebook?

Now I'm wondering, would I want to be friends with a Mat Tress (which has an incriminating red stain smack in the middle of it)... or not? Hmmm...

All Smiles

First off, obligatory explanation:

This blog was left un-updated for so long due to the fact that I have been too busy living my life! haha.. take a look at the other blog for proof.

Remember an entry I posted awhile back of a friend who laughs like a tiger? Hehe.. Well I was in Port Dickson last week for MAD Camp 2009 and you know what? It was the most awesomest, amazingest, wonderfullest, funnest camp ever!

Not gonna boast about it here to those who missed it but hey, there's always next year to sign up! Hehe..

Anyway, throughout the camp I wasn't really carrying around my camera everywhere I went so I don't have much pictures to share but I did manage to get ahold of Ron's camera for some time and so I've got some pictures to show!

Browsing through the few pictures I got, which is not much really... about 556 pictures only, I couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Let me show you why...

What Romance Is All About

2009-05-28T01:54:00.003+08:00

Here's the cold hard truth...

THESE WERE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE AND THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife

Marrying you has screwed up my life

2. I see your face when I am dreaming

That's why I always wake up screaming

3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot

This describes everything you are not

4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,

But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed.

5. I thought that I could love no other

-- that is until I met your brother.

6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.

But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

7. I want to feel your sweet embrace;

But don't take that paper bag off your face.

8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes

Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

9. My love, you take my breath away.

What have you stepped in to smell this way?

10. My feelings for you no words can tell,

Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'

11. What inspired this amorous rhyme?

Two parts vodka, one part lime!

Cynical, but it made me laugh out loud!

You're on Candid Camera!

2009-05-21T16:09:00.005+08:00

The best part about getting cammie back is that I can now resume taking nice videos and pictures again!

About a week ago, we went to Sushi Zanmai at The Gardens, Mid Valley because someone suddenly got older!

It was my first time there and what greeted me at the entrance of the restaurant was not all that encouraging.

couldn't take a proper shot of this thing without using flash.. aih

look at the queue!!!

Being the first ones to arrive, Sun and I had no choice but to wait in line, which took us about 10-15minutes. More than enough to make our tummies growl.

Just as we got to the front of the queue, the rest of the group arrived (how smart of them) and we took our place at the table. Two of the staff came around and made us play some funny games and gave us some sushi vouchers and then the birthday girl arrived in time to hear us sing her a birthday song loud enough even the chefs in the kitchen were singing along!

The food there is ok, not bad. The salmon is good though! Good!

it's so good it's the only dish I took a picture of

So after we were all stuffed with food and happily chatting away, I whipped out cammie and took some random videos. What I didn't expect was that Janet was gonna do something so extremely cute and funny that I have no choice but to share it with you guys!

Hahahaha.... The walrus returns! Part 1 here if you dun get what I mean. Hehe..

Is There A Tiger In You?

2009-05-19T19:48:00.004+08:00

I was looking through the results of our photoshoot last Sunday and this particular picture made me laugh out loud!

his expression = ^o^

It's not just that his expression looks so funny, it's because it reminded me of this

See the comparison!

Haha..

Armpit Hair: Love It or Hate It?

2009-05-17T17:12:00.004+08:00

Someone tell me how true is this article... it came in the form of a forwarded email, followed by some very disturbing pictures of women showing off their 'foliage'. Disturbing, no other word for it.

Is it OK to shave your armpit hairs?

Many people complain about armpit hair. Armpit hair causes body odor and they are very unsightly. The negative attributes of armpit hair are seemingly evident at first glance. Are armpit hairs really a nuisance or at the very least unnecessary to the human body?

Arguably, the smelliest part of the body is the armpit. The reason behind is that the underarm hair is a trap for bacteria, sebum, and pheromones. Bacteria plus sebum equals odor. And pheromones? Well they’re the sexual chemicals that the body produces and they are contributory to the growing “smell pool.” In modern times, it is considered very unattractive, especially for women, to have thick armpit hairs. To some cultures, it is even required for women to shave underarm hair. While some European women don’t shave their armpits as defiance to imposed cultural codes, it is necessary for Islamic women to do so. But in many East Asian countries like China, Japan and Korea, keeping armpit hair is perfectly normal. Even in India, it is 100% alright to keep your armpit hair on.

While it is a common belief that shaving will produce even thicker growth, there is absolutely no truth to this at all. The reason is that the number of hair follicles isn’t affected by shaving. It may seem that armpit hair grows more aggressively than other hairs, but shaving the armpit occurs more frequently simply because it grows faster than the leg-hair. Armpit hair provides lubrication and lessens the friction of the skin between your arm and your body. The production of sebum prevents the skin from drying and cracking. Without armpit hair, the armpits would be susceptible to wounds and sores similar to a diaper rash in baby bottoms.

Sex pheromones are also spread through olfactory means, thus adding emphasis to smell. Pheromones serve to attract the opposite sex and have an important role in sexual attraction. Connected to the armpit hair are various sensory nerve endings. This explains where the pain comes from whenever armpit hairs are plucked. The arrector pili muscle is connected to each hair follicle and together, the hair, hair shaft, arrector pili muscle, and sebaceous gland, are known as the pilisebaceous unit.

The armpit hair is known this way simply because it is located under your arms! Most people find long armpit hair unattractive, which may lead to insecurities and other psychosocial problems. Rest assured that your underarm forest has its very own unique purpose. It’s just a matter of taking the good with the bad. In exchange of body odor, or being unattractively long (it depends on preference), underarm hair provides less friction to your armpits, and releases sexual hormones to attract the opposite sex.

The pheromones are the sex chemicals produced by our body to attract mates. Armpit hair acts as a collector of pheromones or a pheromone trap, if you can call it that. The more pheromones there are, the more attractive you are to the opposite sex.

The only catch is that you might stink a little, but it’s undeniable that you’re getting the attention of your potential mate at a hormonal level. We tend to underestimate scent as a tool for sexual attraction, but no one can deny that pheromones could be useful. On Amazon, you can find lots of Pheromone Colognes listed. These are basically colognes with pheromones added to them.

Think before you shave…

So if you are looking to completely remove your armpit hairs, think again. They serve their very own purpose. If length turns out to be too much of a bother, regular trimming and maintenance will do. And don’t forget to take a bath regularly, especially when the hormones are starting to rage. You want to attract a mate with your pheromones, not overwhelm them. Keep in mind that armpit hairs are more help than they look.

So... pheromones huh?

All The Single Ladies Check This Out

2009-05-06T13:40:00.004+08:00

I was looking through interesting posts in Innit when I bumped into this blog and found this clip...

Haha.. I was amused and impressed by their performance. Then I got curious and went to find the original music video by Beyonce.

Now I'm undecided.

Which is more disturbing, the three guys who can rival Beyonce... or Beyonce's freakishly cyborg-like disjointed hips?

Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks her body shape is weird!!!

Naughty Merlion

2009-04-30T11:50:00.004+08:00

A bunch of people went to Singapore last week for a huge conference at Trinity Christian Centre and one of them brought the MERLION back for me!!!

roar lion roar!

Haha.. I don't really know why I asked for the merlion but I guess that's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Singapore.

see? laden with history...

The bookmark merlion is very nice. The fine details in the carvings are really nice and I like it alot. That is, until I took it out of the wrapper and flipped it to the back.

Did you see that? I know details are very nice and all but was that really necessary??

Don't know what I'm talking about? Here's a close up.

There! See?? Of all places! Gosh!

merlion: hohoho! I shine in the dark!

This merlion is very naughty!!!

Oh Peace At Last!

2009-04-27T14:29:00.003+08:00

Finally!!!

The annoying sound clip won't autoplay anymore!!!

Haha.. I'm actually sick of hearing myself repeat stupid ferret stupid ferret stupid ferret everytime I come back to my own blog. Hurray for silence! =)

And so.. since I am supposed to be studying and I don't really have much to say, here's a self shot of me at the hairstylist's after getting my new haircut two weeks ago!

love the fringe but it gets kinda annoying when it's hot!

Ok back to books now for me! Someone scolding already... =(

Body Parts For Sale!

2009-04-27T00:23:00.003+08:00

What would come to mind if you ever saw a notice like that?

Well personally I've never seen anything like that but here's a statement that I find equally(if not more) disturbing!

She's only 18 years old and already complaining about it being funny, old and faded... Youths nowadays, scary!

KLPac Orchestra In The Style of Down Under

2009-04-23T21:15:00.005+08:00

Yeah I meant to talk about the orchestra performance in the previous post but, my bad, I got carried away! Hee..

Now if I were to sum up the performance in two words, I'd say it was a let down. In one word disappointment.

Not that I'm being overly critical but I did expect more out of it and even though I'm not a professional music person, it was very obvious that they could have done so much better. Joe (the boss guy) did a splendid job emceeing, not sure if there's another name for his role, the evening that is irrefutable as it was obvious the guy was born to be on stage. Brian who conducted the orchestra was... funny but not all that captivating, I spent most of the night looking at one of the Young KL Singers instead! *aherm*

Anyway, most of the musical arrangements were okay.. Totally loved the duet performance of "I Am Australian" especially the male vocalist because the girl forgot her lyrics.

But then there were the didgeridoo players... *sigh*

this is what a didgeridoo is like

No offense to didgeridoos or the native people who created and play them but I just find it very hard to enjoy the performance that night.. Try as I may, I couldn't get the picture of a bunch of frogs croaking out of my mind! Ok I did sound very mean there, I'm sorry but I don't know how else to say it! If they had done the didgeridoo performance in this kinda setting it would have been nice.

But noooo! They didn't! You wanna know what they did?

They used the didgeridoos, the four of them (don't remember what they call themselves), and they did the Justin Timberlake! Seriously! Go look at the first video again and then see this video and imagine Justin as a Didgeridoo.

Doesn't work dudes.. Sorry but it was just awkward.

After that came the song, the song I went all the way to KLPac and paid RM20 to listen to, the song was "Dare to Dream" and I tell you, after I listen to the orchestra version... I don't dare to listen to the song anymore!

Wuargh!!!

San Francisco Pizza

2009-04-22T16:53:00.004+08:00

If you're stuck in ole Bangi town or somewhere around UKM and you wanna bring your date to a proper place for dinner, this is the place to go!

San Francisco Pizza

It's got a nice environment, the waiters and waitresses are abit chatty but overall it's a nice place.

This is the kinda food they offer

Ceasar Salad with bits of Chicken

Mushroom Bruschetta

Freakin. Delicious.

No kidding, it's nice! Abit pricey though but 100% bound to impress! They've got plenty of pizza varieties to offer and some nice western dishes too. The ceasar salad and mushroom thingy plus a cup of Coke came up to about RM26++ but it was enough for 2person to share.

Location: at one of the junctions near the PKNS building. Look out for Maybank, some mechanic shops and it's around there.

Enjoy! *drools*
