I like ice cream. I crave for it but sadly after only a week of indulgance, my waistline began to balloon to that of a young killer whale. Sometimes i do sneak to the freezer for some frozen ice cream.*nyek nyek* and end up with a mixed feeling;theres simply no other word for it - happy! Anyways i took the effort to find out some of the interesting yummylicious flavours in the market. These are among my favourites. Enjoy folks~^^

1)

Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Fudge Covered Peanuts & a Crispy Fudge Swirl
~Ohh i actually like this one; im crazy over nuts therefore i am a nutter.=]

2)

Chocolate Ice Cream with Gooey Marshmallow, a Caramel Swirl & Fudge Fish
~this one's interesting really. Wonder why its called 'phish'.=]

3)

A Core of Soft Caramel Encircled by Chocolate & Caramel Ice Creams & Fudge Chips
~this one's really funny actually. im not a fan of caramel but one glance i thought it said 'Karma Sutra'. hehe!

4)

Fudge-Covered Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzels in Vanilla Malt Ice Cream Rippled with Fudge & Peanut Butter
~ohh i actually like this one. Still wondering why its called hubby though.hehehe

5)

Macadamia Brittle
~ Ohh my favourite ice cream of all time. Its a little bit too sweet but the flavour's amazing!

6) 31 Baskins' Pistachio Almond
~ I couldnt find a picture for this. A pity really because this happened to be my first
favourite flavour.=]

Will write more later~! In the mean time, enjoy these flavours.=]

dearest Ju~*

Im dedicating today's blog title to Kathryn Koh Hsien Ju; who will be leaving for Ireland next wednesday. I have known her for quite some time now. 3 years plus in fact; but i did have the first impression that she is part of the bossy,popular and not to mention arrogant girls in school; but hsienju proved me wrong; because she is caring and such a joyful person to be around. She exudes an aura of radiance to those around her and she never fails to paint a smile on each and every face around her. In fact, there will be something amiss when you're gone. It wouldnt be the same without you around. I will miss you a lot and hopefully we will still be close friends although we are miles apart. I cherish the times we had and the laughs we had and hopefully somehow, someway that holds a bond to strengthen our friendship. I feel truly lucky to have met such a good friend and i hope our friendship will be as strong till the end of our lives. Pls remember to keep in touch dear. Miss ya heaps. =(

happy bday to me, happy bday to me~*

2005-08-30T23:34:00.000+08:00

happy bday to me, happy bday to me ~*

I am happy today. Today was a good day. I met up with dear Ju to watch Charlie & the chocolate factory. The seats werent superb but it was great. The show was not too bad. I especially liked

<--------- Johnny Depp as Mr Willy Wonka.

<---------- Ohh this girl is my favourite. Anna Sophia Robb as Violet Beauregarde.

<----------- Jordan Fry as Mike Teevee.

I hated the Oompa Loompas. Everytime they break into a song i fall asleep. Anyway i liked the theme song and all; its by Danny Elfman; the same person who wrote the instrumental song for Spiderman 1 and 2.

Ju and i saw a really nice moripin ring. Im so tempted to buy it but it was slightly small. Not that i cant fit into it but it was a bit difficult to take out. sigh. Maybe i should buy it after all; i dont have a ring in my collection yet. Hey ju i have hoop earrings;2 pairs even; i give you ok!=]

Ju suprised me with a bday prezzie. Thanks so much dearie. Love it! Will miss you so much when you're in Ireland. We must go out again before you leave ok! Mom surprised me with 100 bucks. Cool! She says i can buy anything i want with that money today. Thanks you mom! Later on we went for dinner and then she bought me my fav ice cream cake. Splendid!^^ Liu Hua called and said he was outside my house. Oh no..i was on the way back but still, i asked him if he wanted to wait for me. He said nvm. Anyways i hope you're okay liu hua..i was getting worried about you. Do feel free to give me a call ok!

Im so sorry i had to ffk you , Li Sze. Im really really really sowwie. =( We'll arrange another day ok!

i coulda, shoulda, woulda~*

2005-08-29T18:07:00.000+08:00

i coulda, shoulda, woulda~*

i can safely say that i am not :

1) hallucinating
2) in need of a dose of aspirin
3) sleepwalking

Firstly, my bro Danis is acting really weird. When he came back from college today, first thing he did was he came striding towards me and gave me a bone breaking embrace. I attribute this to the fact that:

1) I just ate a very big piece of his jelly.
2) Tmr is my bday.
3) The chemistry exam has made him lose his marbles.

Either way i was rather pleased with myself. He was unusually nice during lunch; he even offered to share his rice with me. Oddd.

Anyways i will be watching Willy Wonka tmrw! Wow im thrilled. I have a shopping list of all the stuff i am looking for. Accessories shopping with Ju! Whee! Thrilled!

Leongzuewen is at Wales today. Lady, postcard...postcard!=]

A hundred winters~*

Yesterday was dear Ju's farewell party. Her party started at around 7 sth to 8-ish. I promised to go there early cos she will be curling my hair with her curling iron*sweat*. Anyway i arrived there late! 6-ish! dear dear but still luckily the party didnt exactly start early. Mostly were relatives. So many small kids!*cute!*A lot of relatives! Her parents welcomed me so warmly. Really she has such nice parents.=]I nodded to all her relatives politely before going into her room.

Her room is the most beautiful room i have ever been in. The Anna Sui inspired colours is the epitome of every girl's dreams. Well, not exactly every girl but im def in that category! The pinkish purplish finish was awesome! Her collection of accessories is spectacular, magnificent; all neatly arranged in a drawer. How i wish i had that many. hehe! Really i need to drag Ju along for accessory shopping! Before she leaves for Ireland.=(

The hair curling session was so funny! It didnt really turn out as 'magnificent' as i had hoped. Perhaps her hair texture is diff-ish than mine. It wasnt horrible but it looked a lil dry. No hairspray so everything turned straight around 30 mins later haha.

Met lotsa ppl there! Lotsa new friends too! All in all i went home at 10-ish. Tired and all but had fun. Gonna watch movie with Ju again next week. Wheee! Cant wait! Ju, gonna miss you heaps when you're at Ireland. Must keep in touch ok!*hugs* =]

Quote of the day~ You dont knw what you've lost till its gone. Ive learnt to cherish those around me......finally.

Bluebirds fly~*

Recently i have been talking to a certain someone about how you would feel if your best friend is well,
1) prettier
2) sassier
3) funkay-ier

than you.

Cant imagine it right. Lets put it straight. It'll be exceptionally ugly when you two go out although my friend did point out that it would be a pretty sight. To which i pointed out that your better half would be the one attracting all the attention.

Look im not really complaining whatsoever. I dont really care or give a damn of what people think. I honestly,

1) dont believe in all that jazz ... no wait i actually do haha
2) will just grab my sip cup rather than listen to all that caboodling.
3) oh well, at least certain ppl tell me im cute.

So always remember,

1) you are beautiful in your own unique way.
2) if all fails, theres always make up.
3) dont let others put you down.
4) beauty is something that comes from inside. its not what you look like. it comes out in your eyes. beautiful ppl glow. Marlene Deitrich was a beauty.

For all you knw , this could happen. *points to the left* Just look at how much difference make up can transform a person into! =] Pls remember that starlets have all the pampering from professional make up artistes and you should never compare yourself with them.

im still wondering why i chose 'bluebirds fly' as my title. hahaha =]

Quote of the day ~ Beautiful faces are those that wear whole-souled honestly printed there.

herbie fully loaded~*

2005-08-22T20:38:00.000+08:00

herbie fully loaded~*

Today i went out with Ju to watch Herbie. I checked the papers yesterday and it shows that there is a show at 1 and another at 3.15. But when i went there to buy the ticks, the lady told me "No no theres no show at 1." I was like "What??But it says in yesterday's paper that there is a show at 1!". We wanted to watch Willy Wonka but the only seats available are 2 rows from in front. No no that wont do. So we ended up buying the 2.30 ticks to watch Herbie. We shopped a bit, walked around. Ju bought the stila sheer color tinted moisturiser. Boy was she impressed when i knew the info to all the products at stila.*gleams*=] I bought the lancome juicy tubes in Peche. I really like it.=] Its really yummy and quite value for money. A stila lip gloss will cost Rm85 for 2.4ml but the juicy tubes is Rm65 for 15ml. Quite worth it rite??

After the movie we went to take sticker photos at Dreamland. Oh well, i look zazat in it but still its good for remembrance. Ju's gathering is this Saturday and im still lost at what to wear. I have 2 options i guess. Leongzuewen reckons i should put on make up. I really like the greenish eyeshadow i have and i plan to wear that but that wont go with a pink top. If i do wear a pink top, i plan to wear a purple eyeshadow*really rare..i dun go for purples* with glitter on my eyebrow area to which my mom pointed out that i looked like a witch in it. Oh well, better drop the idea. I still have to get Ju something. Havent thought of anything yet. Will call WenYing and ask her to buy then.

Leongzuewen told me that her friend Melvin saw me at One U just now. Huh??Really? Why didnt he say hie to me? Weird!! As if i will eat him up..><

Today's a boring day. I was in quite a foul mood today. I cant exactly tell why. I wasnt feeling myself. I took my temper out a bit and couldnt control it.>< Leongzuewen will be going back next Saturday. Gonna miss you heaps. Anyways i put this pic up cos you like Ji Mei and i like Ji Lan.Hopefully it'll evoke the fun times we had the other day hehe.>< Ju is going off soon too. Gonna miss her a lot as well. Will watch Herbie with her on Monday i think. Hopefully the 12 sth show. Gonna need to look for jeans. A/x jeans and also the annasui lipgloss. Ju's having a gathering soon. Hopefully it wont be a tearful one.>< Wei Jin's leaving soon too. Gonna miss you heaps too.>< Dont forget me when you're in Sheffield. When im at UK i'll come and drag you out of your bed and you'll have to bring me tour around UK.LOL. Anyways theres that KLCC outing before you leave. Ring me up!=]

i cant think of anyone else.*frowns* i will think of more and add later.

Cravings~*

2005-08-17T21:16:00.000+08:00

Cravings~*

Today's the day i met up with Miss Leongzuewen. It turned out that shes so friendly and chatty as well. You'll never be bored with her around. LOL. Best part was that we have never spoken to each other before in real life and shes still so friendly! *grin* Thanks goodness shes not the quiet type or i'll have trouble talking to her but she kept our conversations flowing like a waterfall.=] We even went to Dreamworld to have photo stickers taken. She didnt want to take card photos cos she reckons that she has a whole stack at home. Whatever Leongzuewen, next time when you come back we take some more kiez! We got to decorate our stickers with this machine with only one pen. Heck when we finish only we realised that there is another machine with 2 pens. What the..oh well=]

We went to Cravings for lunch. I had Singaporean Mee Hoon and she had Claypot Loh Shee Fun. She reckons her Loh She Fun looks scary with the raw egg on top. I think you're supposed to 'lo' it first before you eat it, leongzuewen.

I bought a gypsy skirt. Quite long and flowy. Leongzuewen reckons that this one looks nicer than the one i tried at Message. Anyways that Message lady was so bloody fcuked up. Kept complaining that i came last week to try and then again this week. What the fcuk?? Go fly kites biatch!%@#!

Then we went to Khazanah to look at accessories. I found a pair of green earrings which i liked and Leongzuewen bought the same one too but in a different colour. In the end she bought it for me as an uber early bday prezzie! Thanks for everything, gal!*gleams*=] Too bad she wont be here on my bday. Will miss ya!=]

<--------- Mine!^^

<---------Leongzuewen's ^^

Suspense~*

2005-08-08T11:50:00.000+08:00

Suspense~*

I woke up relatively early this morning(8.45) as i couldnt sleep any more. I tossed and turned and finally decided that i should get up. No breakfast this morning (i finished all the gravel, must send mom out to buy some more later). Truth was, i didnt have much appetite this morning. I went straight to pray. This is unusual, im dont pray often but i wont say im not a believer. Yes i do believe in god, its just that i dont make much effort to remember to pray and burn the incense. I moped around a bit, listened to my favourite songs, read the daily mail, called up Astro asking them why i dont seem to see the August telly guide in my mailbox, did a bit of vacumming and here i am, sitting in front of the comp screen, talking to Ming hong and Leong Zue Wen. My classmate, Jessica messaged me 1/2 hour ago telling me that the CAL office is only releasing the results at 2 in the afternoon. Oh well, all the more waiting.

I had all the possibilities listed out in my mind. *touch wood* What if i do really really badly and not get into uni??What if, i had to resit every single paper?? What if i had to start a pre U course all over again?Not only were the thought haunting me, i had a major break down a few days ago. I couldnt take the pressure mounting sky high everyday. The thought of suicide did occur to me once in a while. But my mom jolted me to my senses when she told me that "Nth's gonna change even if you kill yourself. You must learn to brace reality and not let it drown you".

Personally i would like to thank you all for giving me all the support i needed, those comforting words that made me feel much better about myself. My mom, who told me that its okay even if i dont do well and that its not the end of the world. Thank you all, and hopefully that somehow, i would be able to repay you all for your kindness one day. God Bless.

Love,
corny

Lotsa Luck~*

I finally watched Stealth LOL wheee! The movie was not bad to be honest though many would say that Fantastic Empat is better*grumbles* to which i pointed out that i havent watched that movie yet. Stealth..possibly the thing that kept me awake was the fact that Josh Lucas actually existed in the film.LOL.Yeah hes hotstuff LOL. Li Sze, who didnt knw who Josh was until i told her that he in fact, acted in Sweet Home Alabama, pointed out that he is in fact, old. (0_o) Merlin's beard, yes he is a bit old compared to Ashton or Chad Micheal or Chris Evans but hey, Harrison Ford's a tad older than my grandfather and hes still quite good looking.LOL and not forgetting Colin Firth from Love Actually. Heck even Keanu Reeves is hotstuff.LOL. Probably i really do have this thing for older men.

Rumours have it that our mock results are coming out this monday, to which i pointed out that i would rather eat troll's boogers than face the results. siiiggghhh.......

Good thing i have at least something forward to look forward to this month. Wanna knw why??LOL cos my bday falls on the 30th this month. Wheee! Which also implies that i would be receiving a prezzie from me mam and also, i would be able to buy the corn ice cream cake. LOL. Ju, if you're reading this, i'll call you out then and i'll treat you lunch aights?call meeeee!=]

Today i met up with Li Sze and Fidelia, 2 of my secondary school friends. LOL it was fun really. Quite absurd but fun=]. Fidy bought a mixing bowl to...make cakes?cookies?I forgot to ask her (0_o). Sweet Li Sze bought 2 pillowcases to give to Tze Yip, her bf. How sweet!=] Later on, we were joined by Wen Ying who happened to have a break at 3.30pm. Li Sze and Fidy left earlier to do some grocery shopping so i acc Wenying for awhile before i left. LOL. As Wenying didnt knw much about applying cream blushers, i brought her to Stila and asked my friend, Joanne to coach her on how to use the cream blusher and eyeliner. LOL. Im sorry Wenying, i'll visit you another time kiez!*hugs*=]

LOL. will write again soon.

phish food!

2005-08-01T14:19:00.000+08:00

phish food!*

current mood: bored to death
current song playing: michelle branch - You Get Me

phish food...How cool a name is that. Apparently i just found out that 7 eleven sells Ben & Jerry's ice cream! I was so impressed with the quirky names they come up with for their ice creams..Phish food, being a choco flavor with swirls of marshmallows. Sometimes i wonder, why phish(fish) food??Is it supposed to taste a bit of fish? Weird!! Theres another called Chunky Monkey..Okay i understand why its called monkey. Its supposed to have bits of bananas in it thus the name Monkey.

Just recently, im fascinated with piercings. Yeah piercings. I really want one on my bottom lip. How cool can that be *grinz*!

K mun's bday was quite an enjoyable one. I especially loved the corn ice cream cake. hehe! Love the cake, Mun!=)

I went shopping last week at One u and bought a sisley top. Its...pink yet again. Ive been trying very hard not to buy anything pink anymore but my friends reckon that i look good in pink and that it matches the color of my cheeks. Yeah right haha. I really love green these days. In fact, i think i should buy more greens =). I have many more green stuff to buy but aargh spending too much these days! Must resist!*grinz!*

Anyone watches Stealth yet?Oh man..stealth..Liu Hua if you're reading this, i just wanna apologise for ffk-ing that day. Not really ffk-ing but not able to make it. I really do wanna meet up with you one day so pls dun think im just about cooking up excuses aight??

Will meet up with Ju tmrw fer..Stealth haha. Oh yeah and Li Sze on Wednesday fer lunch! Dont ffk, li sze! hehe!=)

Oh yeah Jin! Sorry fer not waiting fer you first at KLCC last week! Theres always another time le hehe! I kept thinking that its lunch! hehe silly me =)

Well guys i guess thats all fer now..will write more soon.

rats...

2005-07-18T14:03:00.000+08:00

rats....

current song playing : Jojo-baby its you

I swear to myself..never again am i going anywhere far without an adult like my parents.One horrible experience is enough.Just last week friday i went to KLCC with Lara.Since Lara is going back this thursday, i offered to acc her to KLCC to do some shopping.All was well until around 4 something when i decided that its time i should head back home since i will be going out for a family dinner.As we were heading back to the underground passage towards the station, 2 really weird foreign guys started talking to me.Lara thought they knew me but i simply mouthed to her "Heck i dunno them!!". I was terrified *yes mom taught me well not to talk to strangers especially when they look suspicious*.The worst part was when i totally ignored them, they kept following me.When i froze on my tracks,they stopped to.*%@#! I was mortified!I started running towards the opposite direction and thank god they didnt follow me.Rule girls..never go to places like this alone/with just a girl friend/without an adult.It can get ugly, trust me..

I went to quiksilver KLCC on friday*the same day* only to find that most of my friends arent working there, not even that guy.He went to MV's quiksilver to work that day.Apparently they needed more ppl at MV on that day.Just for that day though.My friend Justin was there but it just wasnt the same without the whole lot there*laughs*.

Surprisingly when i got back home, mom told me she has to meet up with some of her old college mates on saturday.WOW!means i get to go?oh yeah she said..I offered to have lunch together with them..its the least i can do to show some respect to those 'aunties'.We had sudanese food at this restaurant opposite madam kwan's.My bro even told me "Hey the food here isnt so bad..i thought it really sucked"*chuckles*.After lunch, before they even left the table, we expressed our deepest apologies and headed off ourselves to do some shopping!Me and my bro, that is.First stop was...yes!Quiksilver!Oh yeah, all my friends were there, including 'the guy' *winks*. We spent really quite a long time there.Spent some time talking to him.He looked busy when we first entered the shop.Somehow , he did come over to talk to me*blushes*.haha.I think all his colleagues knw me by now*chuckles*.To be honest, there are quite a few leng chais there haha.

Friday was the day the long awaited Potter book was released. Harry potter and the half blood prince..I wanted the american cover, and not the common UK cover so i guess i'll have to wait.Im in no rush to buy it, not like the thrillion ppl who flocked to Kinokuniya on that day just to get their hands on the Potter book.How thick can they get..

I saw this really nice Juicy tubes shade called Peach from Lancome..Man was i tempted to buy it..but bro forbid me to..rats...

*yawns* i'll add more later..toodle off to sleep now..

hello everyone!!im back from my 'hibernating' season.My comp blasted and i needed to send it for repair.During my 'hibernating' period, dear Liu Hua kept pestering me to update ,update, update my blog..*phew* and now i finally have the time to!

The holidays seem to be taking a very bad toll on me.I have been glueing my eyes to the telly,playing Final Fantasy X2,*truth to be told, its a really good game=)*, reading books,helping my mom with the household chores,going out fer lunch with my buddies...everything repeats itself.

Just 2 days ago, a very large black bird flew into my house.*aaaargh!!!* that was the only thing i remembered.I rushed into my room,positively scared to death by that harmless*maybe its not* bird.Mother managed to chase it downstairs,pretty much convinced that the bird is gone.I asked mom "Mother, is it quite gone?". Seeing that i left her to chase after the bird instead of helping her, she said sardonically "Yeah, dear..its gone".*phew* I breathed a sigh of relief. After half an hour,my mother went downstairs to find our cushions full of bird dung, the granite flooring as well.The miserable bird is still in the house!*aaargh!* i slammed my room door, locked myself in there once again.Mother managed to chase it out this time..but she had to wash the cushion covers..poor mom..and yes liu hua you're absolutely right..birds have 1001 ways to get into the house but not a single clue as how to fly out..

i have nth more to write at the mo...will write more soon

Sakura Drops*

yay! finally back from japan and boy did i have a lot of fun!i can still remember vividly how we went through all our luggages..missing not even a single pair shirt.Boy was it fun!I sped to one utama and just managed to get myself something from stila. A quick getaway purchase!Went with dad,mom had to ferry bro from subang so she dropped us off the new wing of one utama.I also managed to get myself a pair of very pretty shoes.All that in hardly an hour!

Our flight was at 12 midnight but we were supposed to reach the airport at least 2 hours earlier to check in our luggage and settle our boarding passes; also not forgetting to spare some time to do some last minute shopping for a gift for Inoue-san(dad's jap friend-car dealer who offered to ferry us from the airport to the hotel). At last dad bought something from Harrod's. I think it was a box of very nicely wrapped macadamia biscottis.I loved the green Harrods bag and wanted to nick it but then again..*sigh*

Surprisingly i found out that the plane wasnt full the time we reached the boarding gate.Perhaps it is the off peak season.Thanks goodness it was a midnight flight, though i barely slept; the seats were tremendously uncomfortable and gave me a back pain, the pillows and blanket was so smelly as well.Oh well, as i flipped through the magazine i found out that the shows playing comprised of Ring 2,Hitch,Be Cool,Sepet and a few more i couldnt quite recall.As i flipped to the next page for movies on the way back from Osaka to KL, they had Constantine.What the heck??"I wanna watch Constantine right this instant!" But i couldnt..so i had to wait for my flight back from Osaka.The plane food was disgusting.I didnt tuck into anything but the piece of bread with a bit of butter.It supressed my hunger pangs well enough.

Finally we reached the Kansai international airport.Honestly the air outside smelled of fish.Wanna knw why?Because its near the ocean thats why.Inoue-san was already waiting for us there.Man was i surprised to find out that he is indeed not the ordinary japanese we see across the street.This man is at least 6 feet tall,very well built and not too bad looking! lolz!*p/s too bad he's married haha!*He spoke very good english albeit the japanese accent;apparently most japanese cant speak english and can only read a lil bit. The just cant pronounce properly.Later i found out that they couldnt pronounce certain letters such as L and V.

He brought us to his office and during the journey, i couldnt help but admire his car.He has a navigator which navigates his whereabouts all around Osaka.We would just have to speak to his navigator,tell them the phone number of a particular place and *poof* the navigator would show him the precise location of the place.Later i found out that my very own Toyota Harrier too had this service but i couldnt use it due to the fact that it is only made for use in Japan.*sigh*

The hotel i stayed in was in Shinsaibashi-suji, a great place for shopping.It is right behind the shopping area.Boy what a long stretch!One day is definitely not enough!Luckily i had 3 days to walk around shinsaibashi.One day was reserved for Universal Studios.

Universal Studios Japan is probably the best place in Osaka city.Its big,its fun and it has something for everyone!We went for all the rides;well almost..The first ride we went for was Terminator,then the E.T adventure, and then Spiderman!,JAWS,Jurassic Park and Back to the Future.I practically had to drag my mom and bro to the Jurassic park ride.Because we are expected to get wet, we had to buy raincoats.Undoubtly it was quite a scary experience. My heart almost jumped out during the last part.hehe!

Shopping at shinsaibashi is amazing! The clothes there are....TINY! yes TINY!Majority of the japanese women and girls are really really thin.To make matters worse, they only have one size for all their clothes.Unless they have face covers you are not even allowed to try on their clothes.Its a rule i guess.I managed to buy 3 tops which costed me around rm200 per piece. Quite expensive huh?Considering the brands are like Sungei Wang brands. Surprisingly brands like Mambo or Roxy or Quiksilver or MNG are not famous there.They have their own brands.The food around that place is really good too!I loved the ramen and takoyaki.I think i ate takoyaki for 4 days in a row.I didnt get bored of it surprisingly.I wouldnt get to eat it in malaysia.hehe!

I also met this really really cute guy at the shinsaibashi guitar shop where my bro bought his Ibanez guitar. His name is Takao Minami and boy is he cute!hehe!

On the way back from Osaka to KL, i finally managed to watch Constantine. Truthfully the movie wasnt really good.I would say that watching the movie was made worthwhile just because Keanu Reeves is in it.Yeah!He's hot and he's young!*well maybe not that young*hehe!My bro reckons that i have this thing for older men.I seem to favour Colin Firth as well.But i still like Hayden Christensen!Nah, not the part when he deliberately changed into Darth Vader though.

I guess thats all i have to say for now. Will blog more later..toodle off fer dinner now! Weee!

Love,
corny

~yesterday was fun!i went to klcc with Ju and can you believe that genki sushi actually roXx??i never knew that, let alone let my tastebuds taste jap food.my family was brought up not to eat any other food other than oriental food.i was just not used to any other food!italian,japanese,mamak..you name it,ive never tried it.surprisingly the eel didnt taste that bad,just a bit fishy so i bit half of it and shoved the other half to the poor girl.*grinz*we went through a leg numbing 5 1/2 hour walk around klcc and boy we only managed to cover 3/4 of it!and yes finally i showed her the 'quiksilver guy'and boy i managed to snag his number*at last!*well dont look at me like that, he gave it to me himself, honestly i didnt ask for it.honest!*smile*

i am .... a mungbean

2005-05-24T14:20:00.000+08:00

i am .... a mungbean

Something must be terribly wrong with me. i have been having sleepless nights these days. I wouldnt say that i havent actually been sleeping, just that the mind is not at rest. As a result, i wake up every morning feeling like i just slept on a rock. revising becomes tremendously difficult. nothing seems to be going into my brain. To make matters worse, tomorrow is yet another killer paper ~ Biology 6 *frowns*. I never understood the first chapter.

Just a few weeks ago, Ginvera held a roadshow at Taylor's. I wasnt particularly interested in their products. Somehow, i was still approached by the ginvera girl, fervently asking me to join their competition. As i didnt pay much attention to what she was saying, i just declined with a 'no thankkiew'. Little did i realise that 2 of my friends actually joined the contest and hey it looked quite fun.*Knocks myself on the head* Maybe i shouldnt have declined. The winner gets to endorse their products for either a whole season/a year; that im not too sure.

About a month ago, i had my eyes on this really really nice tunic top from Roxy. But there was only one problem *puts it back on the rack*. It was too ... sheer. My mother would never approve of that. Sure enough, she didnt like it when i tried it at the outlet at MV. It wasnt really cheap anyway (RM169). Oh well, seems like i'll have to come up with some other way to get my hands on it *evil grins*. Anyways, any comments on it?*points below*

Love,

Mimbulus Mimbletonia

Please dont even ask me where i got the title from *grins*. I was actually reading this harry potter book, and i came across this word. Its actually a name of a plant that squirts stinksap when you touch it , i think. haha im sorry. neways ...

current mood: im heartbroken
current song playing: half-life by Oliver James OST what a girl wants

Recently, as i was having the same old chat with Tat Wei, he just confessed that he was feeling rather nostalgic for the past few weeks.*aretha thinks* nostalgic? whatever could he have meant? What i soon found out was that he was gonna miss home, a lot, when flies off to England this September. He wants to visit Miri, a place he grew up at;to visit his old toy store,tuition centres,old friends..etc. I began to think of myself and it really hit home; im going to miss everyone here too. Not just ppl, very important ppl that have played such a big part in my life.

First and foremost:
a) My parents and brother : The pillars of my life. What am i without you guys. Sure we've had arguments and misunderstandings but the bond we share is
unbreakable.

b)My friends : You guys are just amazing. Tolerating my hyperness,wackiness, whatever it is
you guys mean too much to me.*sob*

c)A very important person: Im sorry i just cant disclose this person's name.*shy*
You'll always be the queen of my heart. No wait! Not queen. i guess
prince sounds better haha.

Then a thought struck me, should i give up everything just to stay here?I really dont mind if im happy here. Its not like i really want to go abroad anyways. Life is unkind, life's sad sometimes.

Lost Without Each Other

2005-04-10T10:58:00.000+08:00

Lost Without Each Other

Current mood-moody
Current song playing-Hanson's 'Lost without each other'

Alright, the trials are finally over BUT ........ they were screwy.*blah*I totally blew up chemistry,physics, bio ... the list goes on. Btw, Im so sorry fer not updating this blog for so long. It seemed like eternity doesnt it? Anyway, this song by Hanson's totally blasting my eardrums. Pls pls check it out, guys.=)

After i lost my phone 3 weeks ago, i finally got a new phone.*grins* oh yeah, its a sleek,sexy and elegant samsung e700a. Well yes i know its not a new model but i have dreamt of that phone since it was first launched.

Apparently i just found out that steve vai's JEM costs about 10 grand and joe sach's JS costs about 7 grand*faints*. Thanks to my dear brother, i knw practically 80 percent about guitars. Btw, anyone has an original floyd rose guitar??

I think im suffering from binge eating and its terrible. Someone stop me from eating chocs and ice creams and crackers*the ones that cpt hook's parrot keeps eating*(0_o). aargh!! gotta lose weight.*groans*

oh well as you all know today is a sunday...and you all knw where i would like to go huh.*grins* KLCC of course!Geez, getting there is another thing. Theres absolutely noone to ferry me there unless i can convince my parents. My mom, obviously suspecting something, isnt too happy about going into Quiksilver.*aaargh* Parents are hassling sometimes.

i'll promise to write soon!=)

F-A-T

2005-04-08T15:40:00.000+08:00

F-A-T

you sure you wanna cut the fat? that simple? think that you can worm your way out just like that? studies show that 80 percent of the total population of women are highly concerned about their weight. this of course, i doesnt leave me out.

i just dread it when a long lost relative flashes you a grin and tells you "daahhhlin, i think you put on weight"*in a bad southern accent*. hello? does she really think she just switched bodies with a girl from arkansas? being fat is one thing, being traumatised by the fact that you'll turn into a big blob of slime is another.

am i happy with myself? jolly good i am, i think *a doubtful voice*. being able to pig out keeps me happy. these days i really have to watch what i put into my mouth, besides stickin up notes on my walls telling me not to touch the ice cream or nick chocolates from the fridge. it is agonising in a way but ive learnt to push away food when you're totally full and not eat it just because its there.

if you're the type who weighs 4-5 times a day, you should consult a physician. recently a friend of mine was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. though i havent really seen her for quite some time i could tell that she was having a hard time. its really sad to see some people going thru these problems because i dont think its worth the effort just to please the world. some of us are blessed with better bodies than others and i dont see much to fret about. yes i know ppl are treated differently but then again, its all about attitude.

to those out there, hope you'll hear me out. eat healthy and live healthy !

Tell me quando quando quando ....

2005-03-18T09:38:00.000+08:00

Tell me quando quando quando ....

Please please ignore the title ppl *smile*. It was all tat wei's fault since he was the one who got me to listen to this song and now its stuck inside my head.*frowns* Not that its a bad thing anyway, simply titled 'Quando quando quando'. Wanna knw what that means?

Apparently 'quando' means 'when' in Greek.*whoa* How come i never knew that..Anyway guys pls check out this song by Engelbert Humperdink *i think*. Im not very sure of the name actually hehe..

Anyway i am not here just to talk about that song. *drum roll please* Omg im like totally losing it here! After approximately 4 weeks without ogling at the hunky Quiksilver guy, i went all the way to MV just to find out that he transfered to KLCC.*darn it* (0_o)

Oh well, week 5:
Thanks goodness UCL, LSE,King's, Imperial had a talk at the Mandarin Oriental hotel last weekend*hint hint*. So guess how that helped me?*grins* Oh well, my mother was super reluctant to walk into Quiksilver so i had to cook up so lame excuse just to get my butt in. Omg i cant even tell.. he was just so sweet *flutterin heart*. Anyways theres just too much to tell. I spent quite a long time there but ......... NO i didnt get his number. *frowns* But i did leave my number there! And asked him to call me if there are any new stuff comin in *hopes*. Smart of me eh?? ^_^

Man, trials are near and i should be studying not ogling at him! (0_o)

I'll be back fer more, i promise ^_^ cheerrios and erm.. Happy St Patrick's Day everyone! *throws clover leaves into the air*

Aretha the Coffee Sweetener

2005-03-11T19:18:00.000+08:00

Aretha the Coffee Sweetener

I have this thing for sweetening other ppl's cofffee. You really wanna know why? Im not a coffeeholic neither am i a teaholic. I mean i take a considerable amount of chinese tea whenever i go out for a meal but thats about all. English tea and coffee? No - no.

I tried coaxing Colin to let me sweeten his coffee but he wouldnt let me. His reason? Erm.. "I want to have the privillege of sweetening my own coffee." It didnt really matter cosidering the fact Fish Hsien Loong let me sweeten his (no he didnt get to sweeten his coffee cos he didnt want 2 packets emptied into his cuppa just in case he gets diabetes).

I know you simply dont see the fun in coffee sweetening.

Since i cant coffee sweeten then i should coffee cream someone's coffee. I just made a spectacular discovery that the coffee turns choco colour once you cream it *0.o*.

Anyways, im so sorry Colin fer pissing you off. And yeah i hope you realise that i was just playin around with you. Pls dont be angry..pls pls pls if it means buying you sharks fin soup will cheer you up, its totally worth it honest!

A Bad Hair Day

2005-02-28T12:23:00.000+08:00

A Bad Hair Day

I didnt really bother about the way my hair looked till last thursday when i had it snipped. Not only was my hair blown to perfection, it was the exact same Anna Faris style i wanted! *only after a paid 55 bucks to had it snipped for 5 minutes, i mean the blowing part took quite long .. erm about a half hour?*. Anyways, i thought that it was so worth it. *punches the air* I kept assuring myself that i would not wash my hair for the next 3 days the least. But friday was so HOT that if i really didnt wash it, the smell of overly-stale-hair would compete with the dumpster.

So......i washed it! Yeah i washed it darn it! mailto:*#@*%* . It looked quite fine on saturday even after washing. Maybe it was the after-effects of expensive products that kept the hair in place. *Oh yeah i rawk!* I just had to wash it again on Sunday. *Uh oh...* Err .. not like quite how i expected it to turn out, it looked some what..different!! Omg big trouble this time. I should have just asked him to cut a wash-and-go haircut. I couldnt even get my hair to curl the way they got it to! Jumping broomsticks what have i done!*grumbles*

If only i can get my hair blown out everyday. Lets see a wash-and-blow would cost about 30 bucks? 30x30 days in a month would be 900 BUCKS?!!?! Crazy it may sound but dont be surprised if you meet ppl who do that. But of course there are the "Holy cow my hair's as dry has hay" moans. My advice? Stick to the simple hairstyles and it'll save you lotsa tears.=)

Why cant we wear shorts and slippers to college ?

2005-02-16T17:25:00.000+08:00

Why cant we wear shorts and slippers to college ?

Why cant we wear board shorts and slipper to college ?? Why cant everyone dress down when they come to college? Do they see the need to clad themselves with skimpy clothing, mile long heels and chandelier earrings to college?

Recently a friend of mine told me that everyone wears slippers to uni during summer. What caught my interest is that she told me that she too wears slippers there sometimes. Note the catch in this sentence , " You knw one morning i woke up late and just wore my BATA slippers there". See? Would you rather be caught dead wearing BATA slippers at Taylors of would you rather milk the cows for a week?

If you think im being a paranoid, you wouldnt believe what you'll be reading further. When i was at the loo at lets see, SAM block's level 3? A girl came striding in, nose in the air, clad in Louis Vuitton heels and a matching handbag to boot. Immediately i stared at my torn jeans, tee shirt and ruffled hair. I couldnt be bothered anyways. There is also another girl ( i reckon is her sister) who came striding into the campus with Christian Dior heels. Unless their pretty much Petaling street shoes, my shoes would do very well in the bin for her.

I think the problem lies with our society. Well no im not asking you to wear slippers but .. christian dior heels are .... absurd dont you think so ?

I would really like to see someone with tee shirts, simple plan shorts and globe sneakers .. now thats what i call style. =)

Ed-is-on

2005-02-09T18:20:00.000+08:00

Ed-is-on

Yesterday night i waited fervently for my brother to finish watching 'RAW WWE' which is actually live at Toyko, Japan yesterday night. Darn it, it started at 10 and i had to wait until twelve. Anyway, what comes down to it is that i was waiting to watch 'The Twin Effects' which is supposed to be on ntv7 at 10.30 pm.

If you guys notice, the commercial time sums up to more than half the show time *im not joking*. I think i can practially memorise their captions for colgate's teeth whitening ad.

So anyway, finally after what seemed like forever, i switched the channel to ntv7 and watched the movie *only being distracted 3 times by their adverts*. When i clicked the info, it showed:

Twin Effects ............................. *10.30-12.00*

Aaargh great; only a few more minutes till the show ends. Surprisingly, the show did not end at 12.00. Instead they delayed half an hour *till 12.30* to show their stupid news *frowns*. Darn it who wants to read the news anyways??! When i clicked the info again it showed:

Twin Effects ........................ *12.30-1.00*

Do you see how stupid these ppl are ..

Probably the show wasnt even worth my time waiting. I only watched the show because Edison Chen is in it *hint hint*. Oh yeah, he is hot with a capital H ; his slang and yes he is very very cute indeed. Darn it, why must he fall for Helen!(Charlene Choi of the singing group 'Twins') Oh yeah, his name is Prince Kazaf (in the show) ; the 5th prince of vampires (whatever that means).

The 'Twins' really cant act .. Overall the whole movie reeked ..................... but i like it. Haha

Oh yes i think its worth a watch since Edison looked so dishy there *smile*.

Valentine's Day is comin .. la la la

2005-02-08T13:48:00.000+08:00

Valentine's Day is comin .. la la la

Love is in the air .. la la la *i can almost remember the lyrics* Darn .. Valentine's Day is comin and it falls on the erm .. 14th of February?

It seems like Cupid didnt put his arrows to good use this year; is that really the case or is it just me?*sigh* What comes down to is that .... NO i didnt get to see the guy at Quiksilver when i went there yesterday ; i manoevred around the shop for 10 full minutes can you believe it ?! when his colleagues saw me and before i could even ask them where he was; they grinned and said "Ohh he's off today". *sigh* Oh darn .. how can my luck get any worse. Lady Luck is def not working her magic on me.

I can already anticipate how the atmosphere at college will be on that day *snooze*. No no no i cant take it! aargh! how i wish i wouldnt have to go to college on that day.

Jazz, Rock or just plain Old school Rock ..

2005-02-06T13:35:00.000+08:00

Jazz, Rock or just plain Old school Rock ..

Bands like Simple plan, Yellowcard, Hoobastank and Switchfoot seems to be taking over the charts, skyrocketing the billboards with their contemporary hits; in short, converting the classic music scene to somehow resembling 'MOD-ern' music.

Yet, jazz isnt really losing out of the music scene. I never really liked jazz myself. I really didnt care who Billy Evans and Ella Fitzgerald was and what Louis Armstrong can sing. Not that i was into Alice Cooper's catsuit look or David Bowie's make up look with a 5 o'clock shadow.

Jamie Cullum seems to be making quite a fuss these days. Albeit his funny hairstyle (that i just saw on MTV), his music is not the least soothing. (It does sound rather weird ya knw..) Oh well at least he can play the piano.

Then theres Micheal Buble ( my bro calls him Micheal 'Bubble') and Jack Johnson. There is no way the both of them can compete Josh Groban haha. After listening to Taylor for 30 seconds, you'll be wishing for the song to come to and end; it is rather monotonous.

Yet, there are bands like 'The Darkness"; albeit their weird catsuit costumes they have songs that are quite good; say "Love is only a feeling". JET isnt too bad as well; though their trying as hard as they can to sound like 'The Beatles' (yeah the beatles rock!).

I couldnt care about what ppl think; Bon Jovi and Aerosmith (highly recommended) are my all time favourites and yes their not far from the old school rock scene. Take your pick, spin their hits and you'll see what i mean.=)

Happy Chinese New Year!

2005-02-06T01:40:00.000+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year!

According to the chinese calendar, im supposed to be 20 this year but hey im barely 19!

Anyway, this new year seemed to be a pretty dull one. No homemade butter cookies, almond cookies or my favourite choc chips.

I managed to buy 2 shirts after walking for 4 hours at one utama. I think i went into Vincci at least twice; walked all around the new wing at least 2 times as well. Boy i only managed to buy 2 shirts. Oh well, thats better than nothing at all! I was feeling so sorry for my friends Lara and Chwee Ling who had to wait for me at almost every shop we went in, sorry guys *wink*.

I also came to realise that i didnt buy anything pink this time!*smile* Mike's not going to like it since he claims that he wouldnt be able to recognise me when im 10 metres away.

I also spent most of my $$$ on Quiksilver! *hint hint* you knw why... i mean, their clothes are undeniably nice *wink*.

Colin still owes me a crepe, Su Ann~ a crepe, and a whole long list which somehow i cant recall.*smile* Oh yes im def buying Colin that sundae.

My new year resolution? Nth much. Piggin at home and watch Dawson's creek tapes till i drop haha. Have fun celebrating the new year, everyone!

Bio's getting staler by the day ..

2005-01-26T21:37:00.000+08:00

Bio's getting staler by the day ..

Before you whine and gripe about Bio being boring, let me give you the scoop. Have you ever noticed that we study tons of rubbish in bio? Say, the life cycle of the Anopheles mosquito wouldnt get you further than a doctor if you're down with the dengue fever. The respiration of the mung bean (with TTC that almost mutilated Alvin's palm ; poor guy) will not make you a doctor.

My verdict? Bio's getting stale. Though 80% of the population will disagree with me *thrown rotten tomatos, carrots and eggs* , the fact remains that learning about the life cycle of a mosquito, the alleles of a carrot plant or the coat colour of a rabbit is quite useless isnt it. Sure there are those interesting bits when something peculiar strikes *oOoOoos and aahhhs*.

The fact that i couldnt even differenciate between Colin's mistletoe and a straggly weed is enough to prove that im not a Bio lover. Physics seems to make more sense. Sure there are times when you'll just gape at why x+y = z or when you're learning Keppler's third law. Whats your verdict?

p/s~ Before you get too dissappointed, i did manage to pry on the cutie at Quiksilver MidValley last thursday!*drooL drooL* Boy, his smile totally made my day!^^and im def hoping that mine made his too!^^

2005-01-15T00:31:00.000+08:00

YippEeyioH-kiYay!

2005-01-14T18:55:00.000+08:00

YippEeyioH-kiYay! The weekend's here and i cant believe that our AS results will be out in less than a week. *nervous* Another weekend implies that i have another chance of prying on the cute guy from Quiksilver *wink*. It also means another weekend of burying myself in books. The world seems to be turning around. First theres Mike. Mike has deliberately changed his morbid blog background to something prim and proper; suddenly i felt like dyeing my hair a proper shade of Marron Glace and not a funkadelical 2 tone blonde *weird i know*; Jin seems to have a thing for casanovas ; and Mr Hari is getting more and more 'sick' and everyday; to name a few .. etc etc. Btw, anyone who knows of Mr Hari's address? contact me. p/s we can throw in a couple of stink pellets and dungbombs and he wont be any the wiser to figure who did it.*grins* =)

The visit to Quiksilver MidValley again ..

2005-01-10T17:33:00.000+08:00

The visit to Quiksilver MidValley again ..

Alright alright im totally losing it here! *grins* I have taken dear Edmund's advice and went to Quiksilver MV again .. hehe yes yes again! Dont worry Edmund, i bought something this time and its not something cheap .. i bought a pair of pants there which costed me 200 bucks. Not that it was a bad thing anyway *wink*. I was LOOKING around and boy was i thrilled to see him!*smile* The first thing he did was flash me a megawatt smile that melted my heart .. awww .. hehe Luckily i bought something or else he would have been fired for talking to me the whole time *grins* awww, his smile totally made my day!=)

Doing a little bit for charity ..

2005-01-09T13:50:00.000+08:00

Doing a little bit for charity ..

I've wanted to help people since i was four. At the time i was living in England and i remember watching a story on the news about the Kurdish refugees. They were walking in the snow in bare feet and coming from England, that really hit home. I knew how cold snow was. I ran up to my parents' room and to my own, grabbed all of our shoes to send to them. Understandably mom wasnt too keen on the idea but she suggested that my friends and i hold a garage sale. The little bit we raised we donated to the medical team going to help these people. After than whenever something touched my heart, i decided to do something about it. When i was still studying in England, i held garage sales and cake stalls. All the proceeds went to the people in need.

Even when i came back here, i try my best to fit time for charity work. I would give out leaflets on the streets, write letters for sponsorships and sell teddy bears. All the proceeds went to the people in need. Some people are surprised that i can fit all this fundraising with being a teenager, but i like being busy and i like helping people. I've always been the type of person to get involved. If people see me as a role model that inspires them to volunteer or help a charity then that's great. I think i will always do charity work because it's something i enjoy, but not as a career. I dont think its something you should get paid for; it should come from the heart. There's a stigma about community service that it's not fun. But i get out more than i can possibly give.

This day was like any other, just that my father decided to cook up a storm for us ; technically using us as guinea pigs for his latest recipes (think Jamie Oliver:the naked chef). Somehow, i have managed to escape his meals with nothing serious but a diarrhoea and a muscle spasm in the stomach *yes i knw, yeouch!*. One tip for chefs wanabes ; eighty-six the capsicums, starch, and keep things simple. One of his recipes was the 'American Taco Rice Surprise' and no i dont knw how did the word 'surprise' made its way there. Somehow, it tasted worse than a burnt rubber boot. Today's meal didnt smell nor looked too bad; oh well at least he eighty-sixed the capsicum. Luckily my stomach survived that meal ; i wouldnt have survived if the pepper pot wasnt right next to me. One tip for beginner cooks ; always stick to pasta. =)

Back to school, back to college!!

Back to school .. back to college!!
Before you gripe about going back to school, think again. Going to school isnt all that bad. Sure there are tests, exams and lecturing from the teachers. Try and think about the hindsight of going to school. Meeting new and old friends, laughing about and talking about almost anything from yesterday's smelly socks left in my closet to the latest fashion in Vogue. I did miss my school days and cant wait to go back to college! We dont go to school just to learn about Newton's First Law or x+y=z. Now dont get me wrong; im not saying that its bad learning something new. Just that, a mosquito's life cycle wont be of any use say you're driving along Zilch Petrol Stations highway and low on fuel. See? Sometimes what we learn just doesnt necessarily apply to our everyday life. So enjoy your school life to the fullest and before you knw it, you'll be bidding each other goodbye! I know i wouldnt want to miss school life for anything in the world. =)

What a girl wants

What a girl wants ...

What a girl wants .. Some may think of the movie; Amanda Bynes as Daphne Dashwood, her fairytale encounter with Ian Wallace(*drool drool*) and her father Lord Henry Dashwood(Colin Firth). Contrary to the fact that i just watched the movie(yes i know, i know im outdated though i must say i enjoyed it very very much), im actually talking about what a girl really wants; in real life. I have a few guy friends (names i will not mention) who seem to think that girls are 'difficult'; a word i assure you guys that is not very pleasant to a girl's ear unless you wont mind a spank with her stiletto. I can assure you that girls are not all that 'difficult' as what you guys think. 'Girls just wanna have fun'. You may have heard that like over a million times. What we really want is happiness and living life to the fullest. And no im not talking about marrying a rich man and become his 100th concubine. Its the little things that matter ; like a smile from a baby ; friends that come right over with a tub of ice-cream when things arent right in the guy department. Call it cheap thrills but i'll much rather have those than 10 pairs of Jimmy Choos i got for the price of one . =)

Me ....

YipPeeyioh-kiYay!!
oOoooOhh .. im losing it here!!*grins* Well it all began when i stepped into the Quiksilver outlet at MidValley last Friday .. I was browsing through their rack of clothes when *poof* theres this super cute guy standing in front of me! Well, i have met him before in another Levi's store and im meeting him again! The best part was i couldnt recall where i last saw him but he seemed strangely familiar *grins again*, but he recognised me! *faints* He smiled the most gorgeous smile at me. *awww* We talked for a while and he asked for my name!*faints* And no he didnt ask for my number *my parents were there* and no i didnt ask for his!*sigh* His smile totally brightened up my day *dreamy* hehe

Movies ..

2005-01-03T05:17:00.000+08:00

Movies ..
For the past few days i have done nothing but sat in front of the telly watching dawson's creeks' tapes and only got up twice to pee,for lunch and for dinner. Forget about Dawson's Creek, i browsed through the thick stack of dvds and vcds in my collection(some of which i have never touched before, let alone seen it before) and heres what i came up with :

Head Of State
Chris Rock stars as Mays Gilliam, an alderman running for the first black president of united states. Little did Gilliam knew, he was only picked to lose to the opposing team (the vice president's team). Overall, the movie was good and i had a good laugh. One thing still confuses me, i can never tell chris tucker and chris rock apart. Both are similarly insane, talk faster than a bullet train, and most of their conversations are rubbish. Eg, in the movie, Gilliam keeps saying "Id like to say you're full of shit". In Rush Hour, chris tucker said "You're full of shit". See what i mean?

Shaolin Soccer
I think ive seen this movie over ten times, if not a million times. This happened to be my favourite chinese movie. I dont knw how good Kungfu Hustle is but this movie sent the charts skyrocketing when it first came out. Stephen chow seems too thin here, he reminds me of Bruce Lee. The fact that the ball can travel at a speed that can compete with 3.8 x10 power of 8 m/s is enough to tell you that this movie is senseless. Also, if you notice the singing part, you will see that stephen cannot sing. (If only this could happen to manchester united, they'll beat arsenal flat in the next football game.)

The Sixth Man
The words to describe this show : wacky and funny. Marlon Wayans stars as Kenny Tyler, the head of the basketball team 'The Huskies' after his brother, Antoine Tyler passed away. Surprisingly Antoine returned and helped the Huskies to the nationals, competing against the best teams in the states. The funny parts : 1) noone else can see Antoine except for Kenny .. hence the funny things that happen in the show 2) when you see the basketball flying from one angle to another 3) when his teammates start flying in the air. Overall this is a good show and worth a watch.

Anacondas : The hunt for the blood orchid
This show is easily the most elogical show i have ever seen. Just take a look at the plastic snake (or is it made of rubber ?). Now there are so many of them! To begin things with, anacondas are NOT found in Borneo, if my geographical facts are correct. They are only found IN South America. There, now you guys are fooled! The biggest anaconda i have seen on discovery channel isnt even 1/4 of the plastic snake in the movie. Not a good watch, but if you must, watch out for the cute guy in the show *grins*.

New Police Story
Daniel Wu was the man in the show, shadowing Jackie (why, of course ..) from the limelight. Although the show was in cantonese, i saw it entirely in mandarin (i dont knw why!). Apart from the fact that the beginning of the story was a bit brutal, the overall storyline is good. Except for the fact that it was a bit laggy at the part when Jackie lost his confidence as a HK policeman. I didnt like the ending when Daniel killed himself *grumbles*, now why do the cute guys have to die. In case you havent noticed, Nicholas Tse was also in the movie. But the fact that Daniel's good looks and accent overpowered his, noone seemed to be making a big fuss of Nicholas.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year everyone! Another year gone .. also implies than you're a year wrinklier *frowns* .. well, you didnt really have to know that actually . What a way to start the new year ~ ZzzZz and woke up just in time for lunch, moped around at home, staring blankly at the ceilings making friend with the shadows on the walls .. Today i learnt something new ~ Buy something that smells good. Eg why buy something that doesnt smell/smells bad when you can have an alternative that smells good ? Ohh and chocolates are necessarily bad for you. It releases happy hormones! yay! lets munch and bite all the chocs in the world! =)
