ciao~
i was taking catering as my first co-q entry this semester, it was somewhat not what i expected, fun in some parts and totally grueling in some other parts...
okay, this cooking thing got me so fired up so i decided to do it back home and let my parents taste what their daughter can cook up.
the menu:
mushroom soup~
chicken chop with black pepper sauce~
the procedure:
much too grueling, i refuse to show the pictures
the end product:
the infamous chicken chop became chicken pieces... the just fall apart... the bone removal part did it i think. its far too hard to rid the bones so i kinda rip the meat offf.....
the mushroom soup. the colour's right. it tastes right. but why does it make ppl puke after the tenth spoon....
the pepper sauce!!! taste like pepper. its spicy. so why is it not black? hmmm....
i am safely back home in kuching for more than a week d and tonight's my last night here before i can come back around the end of may. sad... i am going to leave for so long... last time paling lama pun dua bulan je....
new year came and go. just like that. wow. simplicity tells everything and i am glad i din go too far. but the soft drinks are still in big leftover quantity. bear this in mind, just serve your guests with plain water!!! that seems to be the new trend. speaking of which, serve fruits instead of the typical tit-bits!!! that's really cool! thumbs up, mr chin!!!
this ain't me. i am not sure who's writing this but this is definitely not me...
reactivated my facebook account. i am not a narcissist!!! just to keep in touch. gosh, this is not me. calm down!!!!!
i uploaded photos in my photo album.
for new year photos, please refer to jayne's facebook account if possible.
happy chiniese new year!
i love my freinds!!! especially you su chern~ you know we'll miss u buckets!! and weiling, don forget what you promised k? we'll check on you soon enough~
i am into reading all over again~ which is really cool, i am like rediscovering the hidden secret garden i used to have key to. reading is the key to fortune. its true.
i am currently reading:
1. begginer's Greek by James Collins
2. The wedding by Nicholas Sparks
the latter a much deeper read than the first, but good reads all the same. Beginner's greek has a quite typical plot, guy meets girl, misfortunes, seperation, reunion, challenges and obstacles and eventually a happy ending. i fing the opening rather interesting, very very down-to-earth talking and descriptions and very life-size events. the most intrigue part was that the narrator being the male lead. that's a fresh difference.
the wedding is not serious, but thoughtful. compelling story, losing it, fading off, or persisting on. the narrator again is the male lead. bonus points! the narrator was facing a crisis, he feared that there was no longer love between him and his wife, and that they were only to grow further and further apart, with their children already moving out and life becomes quiet. he tried to salvage the little to what was left of their marriage by consulting his father-in-law, the kind of husband whom his wife anticipated, a husband he could never be. pain and distress and illness and growing old in love. these were the major themes of the story. very thoughtful and challenging and touching at the same time. especially like the part where the narrator's wife quote that swans mate for life and stay dedicated even after the other swan dies.
good reads~ bravo!
did you ever find yourself in one of those "i am 100% positive about this one, and hey, i'm the victim here" and then you find that its an entirely different thing all along kind of moments?
what brings us there anyway? overconfidence? self-pity? mundane lifestyle? or simply self-centeredness?
i am facing problems that i myself fail to understand. its suffocating and irritating but i don't know how to deal with it. its like, you know there's this problem here. but you just cant seem to pin-point out the specific matter, and you just won't bring yourself into understanding and resolving. its very stressful.
looking forward to celebrating chinese new year anyway~
on top of my so-worried-priorities:
is the shirt i bought for my brother far too big??? distressed.
this happened totally out of the blue. so its this day, where i skip training for cell group leader in church and went on this extreme shopping spree across the town. first we drop by city square in JB by bus, then hooked on another bus and went all the way to tebrau Jusco. we left around 10 and reached our destination around 12:30, which was like, totally exhausting. met choong voon and syie luing at jusco. haha, see who else skipped the training???
so when we went back to JB, there was a small crowd there were people shouting. the people were actually on a strike!!! complete with banners and leaders and everything. the crowd was really youngsters who probably feelthey need to speak up? but they were laughing and fooling aroun half-way through, so i m not sure if this is the real thing or not. and, plus plus, typical malaysia stuffs, everyone pulling out their handphones an starting to take pictures. but still, wow, this is really my very first time to witness something half so dramatic! cool, but in a not cool way, u get me?
they were ranting on about wars in palestine which i am not aware of. so i looked it up on google and that opened a whole new perspective of which i never set foot on. it was dawning to me how ignorant i had been all along when everything imaginable and unimaginable were happening out there. i was totally shocked and taken aback by what i got to find out on issues concerning palestine and israel. disturbing, and definitely not taking sides. its far too complicated.
its not only the war in palestine and israel that should let us be sorry bout, all wars that kills children. think about the children!!!! don't you just love them? and don't you feel angry seeing how they were mistreated? but what are we to do? and this is what that is going to happen before the end. its promised. war and famines and disasters, alas, people, how long will you withstand?
instead of wasting your time boycotting and goin on strikes on the road, that most probably wont contribute much to resolving the matter, brace yourself, prepare yourself, be ready, be alert, for the time will come like a thief, creeping up on you. and you won even realise it.
where is the love people?
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)

new year 2009, memorable and regretful and full of mischief. i want to upload plenty of photos but i cant, i don't trust the computers here in the school library...
31st of december was my coursemate zinc's birthday, so we kinda celebrate it together with new year. our senior lucas brought us and piaw in one car while lilian drove the rest in a rented car all the way to tebrau to catch a movie together. we intended to watch bedtime stories by Adam Sandler.........
.....
ended up watching Australia instead... which was really pretty impressive and everything, but we watched half-heartedly, due to a few reasonss...
- we are sitting too far out at the front (its hard to take in the whole picture)
- we are not watching wat we wanted
- it was a pretty long move, with our twelve midnight curfew on the other bend...
- the gallopping of horses and cows, real magnificent
- the romance epic, i simply love nicole kidman, awesome
- the storyline, though it gets boring, since its such a happy ending
- the singing of aboriginal people in australia, amazing
in the end, we were late due to the heavy traffic. we got our matrics card scanned, bad thing. wat a way to countdown for new year.
this is a brief one. been back for some time already. glad that i would be going back home very soon, on the 22nd! cant wait for new year to come and everything. but really dreaded on the part that i have to stay here for approx. 5 months before going home again sometime in early june or late may.
finally feeling like a university student. i had been out shopping far more than what i had been doing the whole semester in my first semester. but it also implies that i am spending much much more money than i should have been. but my purchases are still mainly on food and entertainment, so maybe i should seriously consider cutting all that expenses.
plus plus plus, one of our lecturers this semester, namely Mr. HBB, he's like a real adore, he made classes enjoyable anf far more lineant in many aspects of our grades. that kind of made it easy for us to score and so its like, oooh, so this is uni life.
till next time, ciao~
love ya all~
for more picture, check out my photo album~
MERRY CHRISTMAS~
It had been a great year, 2008, a year of great change. Yes, changes. Mutual changes. I am not the same person anymore. Physically, mentally, spiritually, intellectually, verbally, my state of mind, its almost too much to bear. I am not sure if I liked everything happening to me at the same time, but I won’t complain, at least for now, who wants to stay the same, mundane and repetitive and tedious lifestyle, huh?
I am starting to see more perspective. Starting to think in other people’s shoes, not before dragging and hauling heavy emotional burdens and finally coming through the fog, I am. And it’s not easy at all.
Haha, another thing is that, I learn to laugh things off. Not having to win all the time is my new motto. Kind of. I guess I was way too hard on myself, always wanting to be this and this, but, guess what I don’t have to be all that to be good enough, I am special in my very own way, and I am well aware bout that.
One more thing, people especially are never what they seem to be, myself, people I liked, and people I don’t fancy half as much. So much wisdom in all the sayings before us, feel psyched out all of a sudden. Some people actually understood. Its… complicated.
Time for resolutions I guess, hope next year is going to be a blast.
- Please behave by smiling whenever I am not comfortable meeting new people or trying things I don’t like. It’s common courtesy.
- Please don’t forget to read the bible and pray and mean it every day, please finish reading the bible this year! No more hauling… it’s now or never.
- Please be more disciplined. At least don’t fall into temptations half that easily. Pray when you are weak.
- Please play nice. Friends are more important than what I already understand.
- Love thy family. I will love my family members, lovable or not. Be lovable for them too.
- No more slacking off on homework its sickening having to do a huge pile by the end of the week. For crying out loud!
- Continue to bake. Nothing other than myself is stopping me!
- Cultivate patience. Things will turn around. Not that being impatient will make things turn around.
- Take the time to be alone and think about things well and deep. Instead of following the tide, be myself, despite how strong the wave can be.
- be grateful and count my blessings! I am so unworthy of all these and yet He made everything possible for me~
christmas cama and is far gone. oops, how did tat happen??? guess i m just slightly too caught up in my new found hobbies, yup, something i had been ranting on about since the very first days of my holidays, and yup, today's my last day of the sweet holiday. my hobbies? ehem.. baking. haha, yup, baking...

Me, watch, Twilight, today. With chia n wei thing.
Me, very, Disappointed with the movie.
I feel so sad now... I guess its because i put my expectations up too high, its devastating. The plot's okay, but the whole story is moving in this unbelievable fast pace, it left us breathless, in good and bad ways. i like them. edward and bella and all the other characters. very convincing and wrench breaking. but something's missing, i just dono wat.
sigh, but i really like it. i hate the movie. but i like them. and the big story behind it. the whole idea. and everything. except for the movie. still in my disappointed mood. but, i will still be looking forward to watch the sequels, and re-watch the movie, yeah, i hate it tat much and love it so much. its weird i know.

keep blogging? yeah. sigh.
Puff! My my, its getting dusty...
***
Days go by and by and by, and i m getting fatter and lazier and heavier and messier (my room anyway) and more bored and more unhealthy... what's the saying that a good rest in the holidays will make one healthier and better about? its the exact opposite! i am not enjoying myself, definitely not. i am wasting my time...
***
the happiest time, next to coming home to all things familiar and spending time with my parents and siblings and watching tv non-stop, is meeting up with my friends~ so good to see you guys~
