Cenang Beach - Dec '07I have this longing to go to a beach and watch the sunset. Taking in the beautiful view while soaking my feet in the seawater with the breeze caressing my hair gently.
And I would love to have a company, and be the talker instead of a listener this time around.
I've been listening to people for so long - its my turn now.
Hear my thoughts, my woes, my dreams.
For once, I want to know how it feels to let it all out to a pair of ears listening intently and not butting in while I let my thoughts flow freely.
But of coz, thats a wishful thinking isnt it?
I mean, come on. Who would want to whisk me to a beach just coz thats my wish?
It only happens in novels. Its a shame really.

'Something' Is Taking Over My Body! { freed on
1:02 PM
I havent been feeling like this for a loongg time..
My throat has this burning sensation and its difficult to swallow..
My nose is filled with mucus secretion/snot and God knows what else..
My head is pounding away like a constant beat of the tribal drum..
My palate is definitely not working properly - I know this when Sarsi/Root Beer/Strawberry tasted the same to me
I'm feeling like crap.
I think I'm sick. Am I?
Or maybe my brain is playing some kind of a cruel trick to make me stay at home and not go out kai kai-ing like what I've been doing for the past few days.
And going to the doc is the LAST thing I'll do.
Why burn money when you know you'll get better eventually (even if it takes longer time without proper medication) and you can use the money for better purposes - let's say purchase that freaking Aldo shoes!
Panadol is definitely my best friend for the time being.
P.S: Oh nooooo! My voice is changing!
P.P.S: I'm not accepting any calls so forget bout' calling me and sms me instead!Love me.Or.Hate Me.You Decide.

Merry Christmas { freed on
3:19 PM
Ho-Ho-Hooo..I've sent Christmas wishes to more than 30 people, draining my credit to a saddening level that almost made me choke.
Something nags at the back of my mind, 'Why bother?'
Why bother sending a simple Merry Christmas wishes with a witty sense of humour to people I hardly know, or people that I seldom talk to OR even to people that couldnt care less whether or not you wished them?
Then it hits me.
You may be closed to me or I may hardly know you nor hardly talking to you, but somehow every single person that I wished to had made an impact somewhere along the way of discovering myself. That made me remember you and made me want to wish you to have a bloody good time.
Yes each and every one of you. :)
So,
MERRY CHRISTMAS
and I hope you had a fantastic time today.
*wink*P.S: I'm not kidding bout' the leftover food part. I still want! :P
Love me.Or.Hate Me.You Decide.

Picnic by the Waterfall { freed on
12:21 AM
Having only slept for 1.5 hours the day before, I woke up wishing that I could go back to my La-La Land. But I can't since I was going to Templar's Park with 8 other people (cant FFK later they blacklist me T.T) - and I was already running late.
Reached the car park near college 10 minutes passed 8am and not surprisingly, I was the last one to arrive. Shocking really. *rolled eyes*
I went with Jimmy along with Maynard, Sam and Aaron while WK, Vincent, Hadi and Andy went with Andy's car. Guess who got the privilege to sit infront and hog all the air cond to herself? *flicks hair*
Thanks to some people, we ended up lost - twice.
Having reached there, we then had to walk roughly bout' 20 mins just to get to the waterfall. Thank goodness no leeches decided to stick on me. Not that I'm scared or anything. :P
And when we reached the waterfall, boy was I glad I went along. The place was bee-u-tee-ful. XD
And again, thanks to some people who forgotten to mention we're going to have a dip inside the water, WK and Sam didnt bring extra clothes.
While the guys tried to start the fire, we girls had the first dip inside the cold water. I wasnt planning to get wet from head to toe at first, but oh well. Its hard to resist from dunking your whole head inside the water.
Especially after sweating from the hiking.
Trying to start fire Guess what! I've found out these 4 guys are secretly (not a secret anymore) camwhore-holic! Scroll down for your entertainment.
NOTE: I am not responsible for any heart attack that might arise from looking at these pics. TQVM
*cough*ActingCute*cough*
Pose ala 'Heroes' :P
Aww mignon..A lil publicity for you guys wont hurt anyone, right? :P
Oh you can see the full length and the rest of their camwhore pics at my FB. Nyehehe!
Anyway after our lunch, we packed our things, changed to dry clothing and by 3pm we were out of the woods and back to civilization.
Spot me!Eventhough it was tiring, it was FUN doing something different than the usual movie trips. And thanks Jimmy for the ride! *wink*

Fleur De List { freed on
5:51 PM
Fleur De List I had tremendous fun with you in Bangsar the other day. :D
From searching through racks and racks of clothes with other XX species in a hot and stuffy bungalow to find a good bargain, to dinner at La Bodega in the open
not so fresh air and sharing a Rocky Road cake and Hot Caramel Chocolate at Starbucks..
You know who you are. Ma cheri *wink*
All in all I've spent RM62 on a
gorgeous pair of heels and a pair of butterfly ear-rings. No clothes for me though. Couldnt find top that is nice
and fits me well.
Lots of good bargains though. Would explore more on the racks of clothes but the stuffy environment was too much for me and Yuvy (whoops just gave away the name of ma cheri lol) to bear so we decided to leave.
Would blog more bout' that night once I receive the pics from Yuvy.
*hinthint*P.S: Aww thanks for the lovely post Yuvy, but pleaseee change the pic to a decent pic of me. *big wet eyes* I looked horrible in that pic =.='

Bread Butter Pudding { freed on
2:20 PM
It feels so good waking up late a day after your exams are over and 17 days of holiday are strecthed out infront of you, waiting to be filled with activities. *hinthint*
Anyway I'll blog bout last Tues.
Yerp it was the day before Financial Maths exams and instead of filling my mind with Annuity, NPV, IRR (you get the idea) I was filling my stomach with delish food instead.
I made Bread Butter Pudding!
See, it was so easy to make that I had ample time to study for the Maths exam the next day. *wink* So I'm gonna post the recipe and step-by-step method on how to make it.
FYI, it is the same recipe I made for Kitchen Prac. class last Friday, so to those of you who didnt bring your own recipe and used mine instead *cough*KeeKeeLala*cough*, here's the recipe for your keepsake for future use. XD
I used an 8 by 8 inch baking dish for this recipe.
Ingredients:
White Bread........250g
Melted butter......60g
*
Eggs........250g (bout' 4 eggs)
Sugar.......125g
Salt........a pinch
Vanilla Essence........8ml (bout' 1tsp)
Milk........625ml
*
Cinnamon...AN
Nutmeg.....AN
Preparing the dish and bread:
1. Brush some melted butter inside the baking dish.
2. Cut the sides/crusts of the bread and brush generous amount of melted butter on both sides of the bread. Cut the bread into 2 or 4 (to your liking) and place them inside the baking dish.
Preparing the custard:1. Mix together the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla til thoroughly combined.
2. Add the milk into the mixture. Pour the mixture over the bread in the baking dish.
3. Cover the baking dish with cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour to let the bread absorbs the mixture.
(this is up to you, if you dont want to refrigerate it also can)
So while I let it refrigerate, I made the Creme Anglais which means English Sauce also known as Vanilla Custard Sauce.
Ingredients:Egg Yolks.....4 nos
Sugar......80g
Vanilla Essence.....5ml
*
Milk........330ml
1. Combine the yolks and sugar together. Whip until light and thick.
2. Scald the milk in a boiling water or on direct heat.
(make sure the milk is below simmering - no bubble)
3. Pour the hot milk into egg yolk mixture bit by bit, and then gradually while stirring constantly with the whip.
4. Set the bowl over simmering water.
5. Heat it, stirring constantly, til it thickens. To check if its thick enough/done:
# the sauce should lightly coat the back of the spoon instead of running off it like milk
# when you draw a line with your finger, the line will stay in its place
6. Remove it from the heat, set in a pan of cold water to stop the cooking process. Once its cooled, cover and refrigerate.
Oookay we're done with the sauce, back to the pudding!
1. Preheat the oven to 175 C. Take the dish out from the refrigerator, unwrapped the cling film.
2. Sprinkle some nutmeg and cinnamon on top. (optional)
3. Set the dish in a larger pan containing bout' 1 inch of hot water.
(optional - if your starch content is high, this may not be necessary. i didnt use the water bath since cant find larger pan =.=)
4. Bake bout' 1 hour til it set.
To check if its done, when you poke inside the pudding with a knife, the blade should come out clean.
Wanna see the end result?
Someone took an early bite!
*gasp*
(points to the inside left of the dish)
Serve it warm or cold with the sauce. Enjoy!
P.S: This recipe is taken from Professional Baking 5th Edition. Lovee the book!

Two Trips To KLCC In A Day { freed on
9:45 PM
I don't know what I'm doing here when I have NOT started studying on my French yet. Guess I need a break from those 3 hours of slavering away on Law. Or maybe, this is just a common excuse not to study. XP
Anyhoo.
Yesterday was a really tiring day and I found out something bout' my mom. Stay with me and you'll know why.
*jeng jeng jeng..wth*
After exams, a bunch of the guys wanted to go to PC fair. While us girls went along just for the ride and kai kai-ing in KLCC. Typical, non?
(and yes i did say i should not go out til exams are over but err its so freaking hard so please dont slap me >.<)
Before we reached KLCC, we made pit-stops in Curve (for lunch) and Kepong (its a waste of time really and such a waste on petrol). But the journey was fun. Frustration and boredom evoke weird acts on people which you wouldnt see on normal situations.
Hint: Weird voices, meowing and unintentional camwhoring session.
Upon arriving at KLCC, us girls(me, Elaine, WK, Mischa and Tasha) separated from the guys and dashed to the shops(duh!). Tried on this black halter top from Eclipse but decided not to buy to avoid from eating only yoghurts for the rest of the week. Which on second thought is not that bad at all..
*snaps back*
I took some shots on biscuit tins that I thought my mom would love since she collects them. Only certain types though, thats why I'd rather take pics first and show her before buying them.
Met with the guys and decided its time to head back. (Noooooo!)
Okay now pay attention.
I reached home around 7 plus and showed my mom those pics. Guess what?
She wanted to go to KLCC right at that moment!
o_OI actually expected she'll suggest going the next day (today) since it has happened before but..oh well. Guess now I know if she really likes something, she'll want to have it asap.
And yes I, excuse me I mean, we, went to KLCC and reached there around 9.20pm. She bought two tins from Marks and Spencer. And unfortunately, Isetan was closed before she could get her hands on the other tin.
(NOTE: She went back to KLCC this evening with my dad and bought
two tins from Isetan)
One of the tins from M&S
One of the tins from Isetan
('scuse the bad photography skill, i was avoiding the salesperson from catching me out)Oh and I got myself 5 new pairs of adorable panties from M&S! Too bad it was almost 10pm and the shops are all closing down before I could 'accidentally' bring her to Eclipse and 'have a second look at the black top'. *innocent look*
Back to studying >.<

Sweet Temptation { freed on
9:55 PM
It can be rewarding when your neighbour is an air stewardess who travels frequently (duh!) and its a bonus if she's the friendly, bubbly and very generous kind of type.
Oh and who buys you souvenir too. Lots of them.
Did I tell you she bought a Coach wristlet for my birthday? I know. Crazy right? But she said its waayy cheaper in the US so..yeah. Lucky me. *grins*
And sometimes she'll buy Victoria Secret stuff, like the Body Silkening Splash(simple term: body spray) which I loveeee and its heart-rending that one of them (Sweet Temptation) is almost gone.
I think thats the one where you guys said it smells like strawberry. Someone said it smells like lychee though. Something wrong with fella's nose. *innocent look*
Anyway, thats why I'm wondering if any of you know where to get VS stuff in Malaysia? Coz I really really want the body spray and I think I'll go berserk once its completely finished. o_O
Okay maybe not really lah but still!
Some of the scents for BSSAnd not forgetting my favourite,
Sweet TemptationOh before you guys start bashing on how com she buys all these stuff expecting nothing in return..errmm..I water(ed) her plants when she's away LOL. I know, I know. Who on earth would reward someone who water their plants with all these stuff right?
Well, she does. And hey, I'm not complaining. XD
So yeah, if you have any information, pleaseee tell me!
Your kind effort would be much appreciated (so dramatic wth)
