Memoirs of 2007

Teng asked me to blog about how good or how bad 2007 has been for me... It took me quite some time to think about it... Really, in two days time, 2007 is leaving, welcoming the arrival of 2008, what's happened has passed, and what's gonna happen we don't know...

I would describe 2007 in one word - "ROJAK".



Why? (No, it doesn't have anything to do with the dish ok! Even though I know I ate a lot this year, thus my size :S)

It's a year filled with various mixtures of feelings... 365 days full of laughter, a year full of emotional moments, regrets, appreciations, touching moments, tears of sadness, tears of happiness. Especially being emo lah. Somehow this year I'm very very emotional. Feeling depressed, disappointed with myself, low self esteem, stressed up and all. Ish. Really must learn to open up and be happy.

It's a year full of traveling, star chasing, meeting new people from all walks of life. I've traveled domestically and internationally so yay for me :S

Each and everyone of you, be it known for ages or newly met, be it best friends and not so best friends, be it you remember or don't give-a-damn-about-me, you (Yes, *pointing my fingers at you* i mean you you you and you!) mean so much to me. Thanks for everything that you've done for me, thanks for putting faith in me, thanks for trusting me and telling me all those untellable secrets, thanks for remembering me, thanks for making me laugh, thanks for making me cry. Well, at least I know I'm in your heart, and you're in mine too :) *smiling sheepishly*



365 days S&A (single and available) ALL YEAR LONG. (Psst, not like someone SAD and MAD) Wakakka! Single je mah... and i'm proud of it! Mou yeh geh, only sometimes feel lonely only. But i still have kakis to hang out with! Here wishing everyone to be able to get a loved one by their side next year! :)


I would say that I learned a lot this year. Meeting more people gives me the exposure on how to manage myself, how to think more maturely. But come to think of it, I still have a long long way to learn, and I realize my knowledge and thinking is just so so so shallow. It's a year that I day dream a lot, and started to make plans in making my dreams come true. At least day dreams are inspirations to me. I learned not to trust people so easily. I learned not to judge a book by its cover. I learned that sometimes, things are not what it seems to be. I learned that, not to just hear stories from one side of the party.

However, my resolution for 2007 is not achieved yet. Gosh, losing weight is such a difficult task to do. And controlling my spending is another tough one too.

Heck with it... My new year resolution list for 2008 doubled. There's more I want to do, and want to achieve. I just hope everything will be alright. All the sui things please go away. I want to lose weight, I want to learn japanese, I want to learn yoga, I want to learn dancing, I want to cook more more and more, I want to watch all the dramas I can, I want to travel around the world!! Hah! Jokes of the century man!

Happy new year 2008 everyone! Mwaks! May the new year be a prosperous one and best one for you :) *lub*

I had a bad day...

Beware: Lots of rude words in this post.

I had a bad day... really f*cking bad day... Actually, I would say that everything started from yesterday... Or perhaps even Christmas itself... Or even, christmas eve itself. Argh... I should say I had a bad week instead.

Christmas eve - Working at KLCC this whole week. I am going for the christmas countdown at low yat that night so decided to park at BTS and take monorail. Took the monorail to Raja Chulan and walked from there. I didn't know it was so freaking far. I walked almost half an hour. On the way back, I took the LRT to Dang Wangi I think and walked to Bkt Nanas station to take the monorail to BTS. Turtle the signboard drew a link from the lrt to the monorail, mana tau it is so far too! I feel so smelly upon reaching low yat. Thank god lemon and danny didn't say anything. Wakaka. But it was a nice countdown. Danny was the last to perform. He cut his hair. Macam small boy only. I feel so tired after reaching home. Dah lah slept late the night before.

Christmas - Mou yeh geh, in this line, I holiday people work, people holiday I work. Wanted to order a christmas log cake for family dinner, habis stock. But luckily still got those normal cakes available. Sales were okay that day... I had family dinner that night, mana tau those guests hou lei em lei, wait until I want to go back only lei. So I 8pm only go back. Rushed to Bangsar to collect the cake and rush back to grandpa's house. This ah ma samore waste my time dowan to give me my cake :(

26th - Damn stress the whole day... Due to some reason. But it's my fault also la anyway. Why am I stressing myself up?!? Again, I had another dinner that night, but those guests again... sigh... Really must improve my time management lah seriously. And oh, I drove to work, parked near wisma UOA cuz saw the signboard saying maximum is RM8. Still have to walk 10 minutes to reach KLCC. Mana tau when I finish work, it was raining heavily. And when i pay, it was RM18! So my assumption is that the signboard I saw is the next parking land. Fcuk.

27th - The worst among the four days... Left the house at 11am cuz wanna go buy my bus ticket to penang. Take my own sweet time eating lunch and all cuz thinking that I have quite a lot of time. But, time flies when you're enjoying and time is slow like hell when you want it to be faster. Darn. By the time I finish buying my bus ticket it was already 1pm! Shyt! My plan was to park at Tun Sambathan and take monorail to Sentral and then walk over to KL Sentral and take LRT to klcc. Paid RM2 parking at TS then saw that I just missed one train. Fine. Walk up and then there's an announcement saying "something something technical problem" Double fcuk. Wait wait wait (it was already 1.15pm) My work starts at 1.30pm! Argh! Don't wait lah, drive to work only la. Walked down and as I reach my car, the stupid train came! KNNCCB! Ok, then i thought maybe I park at Sentral and take LRT. Then I was fickle minded and decided to just drive there only lah. Lantak lah pay expensive parking. Mana tau, slight jam on the way. Aiyer geramnya!

Reach Avenue K already 1.50pm. Parked my car, open the door and stood up. *PRAKKK!* I forgot I put my phone on my lap and the phone fell on the floor and split into 3. The cover, battery and the body. Fine. The best part is, the body dropped under the car next to mine. D*u loh! Samore is the center of the car. I had to LIE on the floor to get the phone. Both my hands and my shirt full of dust! Yuck! Ok, rush to work. Sei loh, why KLCC so many people one. Today what day oh? Thurs only leh. Don't tell me Bakerzin also full ar. Betul cakap aku, really full of people. Kelam kabut sudah... Luckily most of them finished eating already. Then, don't know why the whole day everything went wrong. A lot of voiding, wrong orders, key in wrong table, short of money, coffee machine spoiled. Even my manager said 'today is not a good day'. When work finished, I already planned to go find Ivy in 1U to pass her her isetan pass for next week. Mana tau when I finished work, I can't find the pass! Argh, samore my friend was rushing me to leave the place. Geram siul! Nvm la, just go find Ivy yum cha only la. This KY go pak toh, dun care about us pulak. Ish.

Walk to Avenue K, sei loh! Why all the grills locked already, no access to the lifts one? Simply find one staircase and walk down. Walk up and down finding for the lift. Luckily parking only RM10. Shyt, forgot where I parked. Went down B3, sei loh! Where's my car? Samore so quiet, I so damn scared. Kena tangkap also people dunno. Walked down to B4, still cannot see my car... I nearly cried already. Luckily at last saw my car. Phew! When want to exit, the machine unable to read my ticket!!! Then the guy intercom the office to open for me. So scared nanti they say I never pay pulak. Rush to 1U, parked at roadside, so scared nanti kena tunda kereta. They still mopping the floor. Walk walk walk, turn behind, shyt, all my footprints on the floor. Black colour. Don't care, talk to Ivy awhile then cabut go SS2 wait for her. When reach SS2, sms her where to go she pulak say anything. So when I just wanted to sms her to say go Pelita, battery kong! On also cannot on! Wah lao eh! Of all times! Walk to the public phone to try to call her, stupid public phone not working! Grrr... spotted one a few meters away, so went there and called her. Simply tembak her phone number, luckily kena. Hehe. Chat chat chat until 1.30am only go home. At least I get to meet her and gossip. Sudah beh tahan all the stressness. Thanks ah foo :)

So far until now nothing else happened... hopefully tomorrow will be good. I'm going to Penang to attend Jam Jam's wedding. Will be back on Sunday. Mum and dad and bro are going holiday at Xian. Darn. I didn't know my bro's going as well. Home alone until next year :S

That's all for today lah... wu~ wu~ wu~ why so unlucky today one? Sobz.

~See you next year! :D

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas is here!!! It's a festive of giving and receiving, a season of sharing and caring.

Merry Christmas to all my faithful readers, my friends :)

Have a happy merry christmas. Wishing you many happy returns and a joyful celebration this Christmas.

How Much Do You Know?

It's often quite frustrating when you realized one day that you actually don't understand your best friend well. It's even more frustrating when you realized that you actually don't understand a lot of people around you. It's saddening when you realized that you don't have a lot in common with your friends. Making you feel like you're a lone ranger, an alien.

Come to think about it... how much do I know about my friends? My family? If you were to ask me what my mum likes to eat and dislikes, I have to say I have no idea at all. Yeah, disappointing huh? At the same time, how much do my friends know about me? To be precise, how DEEP do I know and my friends know?

As time goes on, people changes. Or is it because as time goes on, our thinking changes, thus we ASSUME that people changed, instead of we ourselves changed. Ok, I know I'm crapping.

Psst, Justin's gonna be here for Christmas again! :) Went for his concert last year. Awesome. Hopefully will get to see him again this year.

[Phood] Hainanese Food @ Yut Kee, Jalan Dang Wangi

Actually, it's a good thing that mum had learned to search blogs through blogs about food. She's been bringing me to a lot of places to try new stuff since then :)

Yut Kee, an old familiar shop that I'm sure those born in the 40s or 50s should be very familiar with this shop. Look at the people queuing. We had to share tables even.

Yut Kee is a hainanese coffee shop. Mum told me that these Hainanese people used to work under the British colonial people, and when these colonial people left, they came out and open coffee shops like this.

They still use the traditional way of toasting roti bakar. With charcoal. This aunty is easily 70 years old. But she stands whole day toasting and turning the bread every few seconds.

They used to serve it with a slab of butter, but now convenience purpose they serve it with the individual packing. Still, they use high quality butter oh. SCS brand. And homemade kaya on the side. Besides roti bakar, they also have steamed bread.

My order of Hainan mee. Urm, not recommended. Don't expect good decoration and presentation of food here because everything is very simple. The hainan mee is cold when it's served. However the special thing about this mee is they fry it with chicken gizzards! Haha, my fave.
Pork chop (RM8.00). Hainanese style. This reminds me of the one I had in one restaurant in Port Dickson last time. Also a hainanese shop. Yum yum. Really good! I like it a lot.

Dad ordered lum mee. Erm, it was so so. At least it's hot. With watery soup. I expected lum mee to have thick gravy instead of soupy. Still prefer the Cheras lum mee.

Have a cup of hainanese tea/coffee with your roti bakar or half boiled kampung eggs. Yum yum :) Many ordered the half boiled eggs though (RM2.00)

There's also this dish called Roti Babi (RM7.00) on their specialty menu but unfortunately it wasn't available that day. *disappointed* Shall try some other day.

The owner's son said this insured safe is as old as the coffee shop. 80 years. Do not think that old coffee shops like this will have only chinese speaking ah peks and ah gong owner. The owner and his son speaks fluent english. And the son is studying Computer Science. And he was an ex-VI boy. (See how kepoh my parents are prfft) I even know which year he graduated in. Haha!

Yut Kee is also famous for their marble cake and sponge rolls. I saw one couple bought 4 boxes of them. And they still keep it inside this old looking cake cupboard.

And oh, they still shout from the cashier to the kitchen. "Kopi ping satu!" :D
