Official Floor Measurer


Yesterday was my result announcement at college. Woke up late and was late as the thing starts 2pm. Didn't expect them to start SO on time. It makes 120 on NPE still feels slow *shocked* So malu when I walk in the hall. Result was positive. And very unexpected. Of course I expected the lowest mention. I quite have the feeling there's some mistakes which haven't rectify yet :)

Charlie's Angels @ lecture hall. I expected myself to cry, mana tau this Nicholle cried pulak. Just for 5 seconds. Our last time in the lecture hall :( Last time sitting on that bench. Last time eating college food. Last time seeing a lot of people :'(

I wanna thank all my classmates and lecturers for the past 4 years. It has been a fun, challenging 4 years in college. Lots of ups and downs. Tiring moments but fulfillment of enjoyment after achieving. With your smiles and words you guys gave me more confidence and motivate me to strive harder. I'll never ever forget you guys. Friends forever. Wishing all of you all the best in your current/future career. Wishing all the lecturers more achievements year by year :)

After that went to Sunway for awhile and 7 of us went to Subang Jaya Square Neway Karaoke. 3 words - Blardy, Farking Expensive. We went for the buffet dinner session. It was RM44++ including 2 drinks free for each person and buffet dinner of course. The food is actually good, quite a lot of variety - there's sushi counter, pasta counter (alio olio yum yum!), fresh oyster, mussel, prawns, scallops and other hot & cold dishes.

HOWEVER, tit bits are charged separately & it's compulsory to take. 7 person MUST take 5 bowls of tit bits (which were 4 bowls of Double Deckers & 1 bowl of peanuts), and one small bowl is RM9++!! Fine, we knew this type of policy in redbox too. (Still RM9 is horrendous!) BESIDES THAT, see that pic of fruit platter above? It's COMPULSORY too, not one but TWO! And guess how much one plate cost? Fcuking RM22++!! End up each of us had to pay RM62. Will never go there during dinner time anymore. If you want to go, go either lunch time or tea or supper but not dinner. Damn.

Things to do now:
1. Catch all the dramas I've missed
2. Read all the books I bought
3. Polish my skills
4. Clean my room
5. Cut my hair
6. Exercise
7. Adobe Photoshop
8. Service my car
9. Travel!
10. Paint my room if possible
11. Finish off the things I did halfway
12. And many many many more :D

She's the cutest, smartest kid on earth to me. Only 3 yrs old and she can do a 50 piece puzzle by herself. She can remember things by just looking at things for 1 time. Her mum tried to trick her asking "You want to go Yee Ma's (my mum) house or Eve Lynn jie jie's house?" Without thinking she can instantly reply "Yee Ma's house is Eve Lynn jie jie's house lah!" And just look at her! She can close one eye. Either one! Damn, I only can do one side. *wub* of my life :) Part of the motivation is from her :)

Thank God! I'm Done!

I'm sure you guys are quite bored of seeing all my previous emo posts about my worries in my dissertation. I wasn't able to submit it on time and I only submitted it 10 days later. Rushing it like hell without sleeping for 2 days 1 night. Thought of passing it up with the next batch but was informed have to pay RM800 because it's considered a re-sit. (Already so rich still want to eat ppl's money) Of course, being the kiamsiap me sure rather rush than to pay lah (My lecturer advice me it's not worth it too anyway) And, I risk the chance of failing because 20% of my total marks will be deducted. Farks. 20% is A LOT ok! (Ish, regret now also no use)

Yesterday was my oral defense to present my dissertation. The scariest, longest and last presentation of my entire education life. Didn't sleep well the previous night because I seriously am worried to death. Went in at 4.15pm and was in there for almost 1 whole blardy hour. I was like 'and then... uhh... then... uhh... sorry... uhh' 2 juries staring at you talking. Thank god they were only lecturers (but still, they were strict!). There were supposed to be external juries meaning high rank managers from the hotel industry but didn't see any. Comment was OHKAY but I was still scared cuz I might fail even though my presentation was OHKAY. Well, at least everything is OVER!

Went out the whole day today with some friends. Haha, I think I explored KL today more than in my 20 years of life. Went to Lake Garden, and now only I know the locations for Planetarium, Memorial Tun Abdul Razak, Tugu Negara, Bird Park, Butterfly Farm all :p Well, I went before but it was when I was like in kindergarten ok! Went to KL then Kajang then Cheras then Subang then Cheras then Subang then back home! Someone said I have baby face and looks like an SPM student! Wakakaka! Thanks *someone* for the compliment. I'm so proud. First time in my life someone say I look younger than my age. Because usually people will say I look old =_="

The announcement of passing students was said to be out today. But I don't have the courage to go check it out at college. I told Nicholle 'if I pass, call me. If I fail don't call me.' She said: "So I purposely will not call you lah." Ma de~ Halfway through dinner got sms. "Shyt. Namo namo namo, please say I pass please say I pass. *Flip open my phone* Ma de~~ It was Ivy." Zha dou. 10 minutes later another sms came. "Namo namo namo" *Flip open phone* NA MO OMI TO FO! Passed!!! Wahoo!!! Thank god!!!

From now on, I'm a full time 'floor measurer'. So any of you want teman to go out just call me at 012-3456789 muahaha! Not!! You guys know my number :) I have tonnes to do before I find
a job permanently. Enjoy kau kau first!

Tomorrow will be the result announcement as in announcing our grades. Not expecting good grades this time. I'll just enjoy the few hours tomorrow with all my friends. I guess it will be the last time I'll see some of them. I just hope I won't use up all my tissues. And take loads and loads of pics!!! Will blog about tomorrow.. well, tomorrow! Nyahaha!

HAKUNA MATATA!!!

[Lyrics] Gary Chaw - Ai Ai

Recently I fell in love with Gary Chaw's latest album - Super Sunshine. I would really recommend this album as a 'must buy' because all the songs inside are darn good. No joke. My personal fave would be this one - Ai Ai. Very sweet song, can be used in weddings or you can sing to your gf when you want to propose to her. Well, it's a guy song but heck. I love it! Anyway, Gary's coming back! 9th March Sungai Wang 5pm ;) See you there!

English translation:
(Wah seh, so semangat!)

Last year we attended a friend's wedding
You asked the bride how can she be so pretty
Oh~ Baby, do you want to feel the same?
Yesterday we visited a friend's new house
You envy the loving paint smell
Oh~ Baby, if you say yes, I give you all

I love you girl, I'll wait for your answer
Let me give you love, are you willing?
Let me give you hugs, can I?
I'm very sure, when I see you, my heartbeat is always as near as now
Let me be your baby, are you willing?
Let me be your hubby, can I?
Use this song as a matchmaker, put both of us together

This year we attended a friend's wedding
You asked the bride how can she be so pretty
Oh~ Baby, do you want to feel the same?
Today we visited a friend's new house
You envy the loving family feel
Oh~ Baby, if you say yes, I give you all

Cafe 2369 + Aunties Ssam

This afternoon was asked for lunch by my two best buddies in sec skl Ching and Ria. Had no idea where to go but decided on Kuchai cuz we're quite bored of the phood in TD. Parked the car and walk around to see what to eat. End up have to toss a coin to decide. And here we end up in - Cafe 2369. There are a few cafes around that area such as Island Cafe, Wings Cafe, Station 1, Cafe 2046 and this 2369. How to survive such competitions...

Saw most of the tables around were having their fish head noodles. Shall try it next visit. Looks like good stuff. We ordered 3 dishes instead accompanied by rice. You can choose to have single meal (one portion of the dish on rice) or dishes portioned for 2-3 persons.

Marmite Pork Ribs
(don't really taste like marmite :p)

Butter Chicken (yummy stuff!)

Stir Fried French Bean (tender & juicy!)

Their drinks are so so only. I ordered Ice Jasmine Tea which I think Boon Boon's tasted nicer. Ching's Hazelnut Milk Tea taste.. well.. weird. Ria's Vanilla Milkshake is nice though. But not cold enough.

Then we just sat and chit chat about our recent lives and secondary school days. Really memorable :)

At night, since parents and aunt and my baby cousin were going to Phuket tomorrow (I actually am supposed to go to but thanks to the oral defense arghh!) so we went out for dinner since I won't be seeing them for 4 freaking days. Wanted to go Delicious/Italiennies one, but uncle decided on a new place for Nyonya food.

An authentic Penang Nyonya restaurant opened by 3 aunties partners. Why the double S? Their names are Sheryn Lee, Shally Wong and Margaret Ooi. Article link

Claypot Fish Head Curry

Pumpkin Chicken (I love love love this dish a lot)

Stir Fried Kai Lan

Marmite Pork Ribs (again?!? Just had it in the afternoon)

Special dish - Durian Prawns (Special but didn't really like it.. the clash of the taste)

Overall, the dishes were really delicious. My uncle and dad had double servings of rice, even my mum who usually eats little rice took more than usual :) For dessert we had their Rojak, Cendol and Ice Kacang which were equally good! Plus the 3 bosses were friendly as well. Due to just few tables around, they were very friendly to all the customers and kept asking how is everything. Service was good too, the waiters and waitresses were friendly, but they try to clear empty plates too fast. Anyhow, definitely will be back again.

Pavilion Food Republic + Kenko Fish Spa

Was at Pav for 2 days in a row. No, I am not a rich Datuk's wife that can spend money in Pav, but I was invited to go there for lunch. And Spa ;)

Food Republic is a food court from Singapore, and it's hell of a good business at Pav, varieties of food choices there, Korean, Vietnam, local, Thai, Teppanyaki, Malay etc.

Mee Rebus

Scallop and Peanut Soup from Ah Yip Herbal Soup

Fried Prawn Noodles

I thought those transparent white strips were bean sprouts at first. Was wondering how come there are more taugehs than noodles. Mana tau it's actually "lai-fun", a type of noodles, similar to the assam laksa noodles :)

Sea Coconut with Ice Shavings

Korean Spicy Beef Soup with Vegetables

It was so so... I think the Stone Pot Rice would taste better.

I was with a few AUNTIES that were very gian to try the newly opened Fish Spa. (Err, what? Fish? Spa? Spa with Fish?? Geli!)

A new trend in town. A brand from Singapore. (Nampak macam aquarium shop aje), kekeke, yeah, it looks like a landscape/fish shop but let's look inside.

This 'ponds' are filled with small little fishy called the Garra Rufa fish. Also known as "Doctor Fish" that hails from Turkey. What these little grey fishies do is they nibble your legs' dead body cells, believing that it is able to ease skin diseases, make your skin smoother and promote blood circulation.

Shucks... my leg banyak dead cell...


Erm, sorry about the fat chubby leg and the banyak bulu... I wonder these fishes ever feel full... Because they nibble non stop.

How does it feel? Erm, very very ticklish and you can really feel the fishes nibbling. I had to cover my mouth with my hands to stop myself from screaming or laughing. But after 5 minutes or so it's less ticklish.

Doesn't feel any difference now, perhaps you must go a couple of times to get the effect, or perhaps my feet has too much dead cells. But it's definitely a good experience. They also have other massages such as foot reflexology, shoulder, head or hand massage.

Price: RM38 for half an hour
*Look out for promotions that combines other massages with fish spa. Mine was 45 minutes foot reflex with 20 minutes fish nibbling for RM69 - New Year promotion.
