Year 2012

Its the end of the year again.. Ever since 2005, I have always done something for the new years countdown, be it going to a shopping mall and screaming like mad with a bunch of people as the clock ticks down from: "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" or be it with my family travelling somewhere away from home or be it just watching the fireworks from some random location with my loved ones..

This year unfortunately, I am doomed to be stuck at home.. yea, you didn't read wrong.. I am doomed to be stuck at home.. Why? Well because, I am having food poison at this very moment that I am writing this post.. have been having it ever since 28/12/11 and unfortunately, I am going to countdown with it this year.. FML
Practically could not sleep or eat for the past few days.. Thank God I can swallow porridge today though.. Sigh..

Originally wanted to post pictures on each new year celebration I had but after searching, I realised I had NONE!!! WTF?? All my memories are just in my brain, no pictures!! FML!! who is going to believe that I have lived?? who?? *mental note to self: take more photos*

So since I am stuck at home, I'm going to come up with my new years resolution:

1) Graduate with a Masters in Medical Science
2) Find and get accepted in a school for phD
3) Lose those bloody weights I promised to lose (for more information, look at the left side of my blog)
4) Get a new laptop or tablet
5) Stop forgetting my Touch 'n' Go card
6) Drive more frequently

That's all I can come up with for now..

Oh and before I forget, Happy 2012 to all!!! May this year not be the end of the world but a good one with many more to come!!! =D

Pitiful plant

Wondering why I am showing you a picture of a parked car? 

Take a closer look below:

That's coz the passenger of the car left one of his/her bag handle outside the car and ironically, this pitiful little plant somehow got hooked onto the handle and when the car moved, it got pulled out by its roots and followed the car all the way here..

Ok, that's all for my crap right now.. kthxbai!

Weight loss tracker widget for blogs

If anyone knows me, they'd probably have heard me claimed that I am too fat, or that I want to lose weight, or that I can never lose fat.. And I guess, the reason why, I cannot lose fat, isn't because I genetically have big bones, or that I am genetically easily fat and can never lose weight.. I guess its more likely because my will power is so damn low in the department of weight lost.. Also, I tend to give up halfway.. Actually, come to think of it, I think I give up after 2 weeks of trying..

Ok, enough of crap, the reason for my blog post this time, is to promote this weight loss tracker widget for blogs.. Its something I have recently discovered when I randomly browsed through a few websites.. Enough said..

If you can see, I have one right on my left sidebar, with a picture of a girl hopping on a weighing machine, and a measuring tape right behind her.. I got it from LilySlim 

There is a whole lot of different designs, that you can choose from for the weight loss widget.. And even better than that, there is a whole lot of other widgets such as fitness goals, diet days, etc.. There's even one for pregnancy and breastfeeding!!

Go check them out.. =)

And one more point I have to stress, since I have already pointed out that I want to lose weight, and since I've already place a weight tracker widget in my blog, I shall promise to achieve it without fail this time.. Wish me luck!!! =D

Malacca @ Jonker Walk - Durian Products

I just realised that I actually never posted this.. So here it is..

Have you ever hear yourself say that you hate durian products, and that the only durian you'll eat is the original one? Well, I have a friend that told me he'll never eat durian but simply loved durian products.. I for one cannot understand this because the durian product I've only eaten were these:

It wasn't, however, until I went to Jonker Walk and tried all the different types of durian products.. and OMG, its delicious!! 

So here are just a few photos:

First up was this white solid thing in the cup which I found out was duiran ice-cream.. At first glance it looked pale, and I was like no.. doubt it taste any better than the Durian Aiskrim potong that I've tried..

 And then, when this white solid thing went into my mouth, I was like.. OMG.. Texture wise, taste wise, awesome! Smooth and yummy!!! *slurps*

Next, is the durian puffs..

I'm serious.. anyone durian lovers around? This is a must try.. a MUST TRY!!! OK? go get yourself some.. now!! When you bite the puff, the durian just oozes out.. Don't know how to explain.. its heavenly..

And then, here's the more famous one..

 The durian cendol.. Can you see that yellowish sticky liquid at the top left corner? the one right next to the gula Melaka.. That, my dear is durian sauce #dunnowhatsitcalled and honestly, I like the orginal cendol with gula Melaka more.. A bit of a disappointment I would say.. but still, the picture looks good eh? =P

Ok, that's it from me.. now go get yourself some durian products.. =D

Nuffnang Premiere Screening of The Muppets

I did it!! Was so pleasantly surprised to receive the email, although I have been checking my email like a zillion times everyday until I got this email.

This is actually the second time I've won myself a pair of Nuffnang Premiere Screening Ticket. The first one was Ip Man 2.. And it was indeed a fun one.. =D

Guess who I'm bringing this time round?

Wrong!

I'm bringing me mum this time.. I simply just thought of her when I saw this movie and decided if I actually manage to win myself these tickets, I'll bring her along.. haha.. And I did!!! Yay!!

So mum, I'm bringing you!!

Will update about the movie after I watched it.. Stay tune!

Bag Craze

I really, seriously cannot explain why this bag below here is seen everywhere!! Everyone has it.. Be it red, navy blue, black, brown, etc.. Why?? Why is it everywhere?? Why does everyone have it???

The other day, I came out from the cinema, I saw 5 ladies walking in front of me, all having the same handbag!! Only a different colour!!! Why?!! 

As if its not enough, I went home and while I was browsing through Groupons I saw this!

OMG!!! why?!

No offence.. I don't think its ugly or anything.. But why does everyone seem to be buying it?? In fact, I keep seeing it until I myself feel like getting one.. But for what reason I seriously don't know.. Care to shed some light??

Invigilations

So, I've made up my mind to blog when I "accidentally" open my blogger.. #forthetimebeing
And so here I am..

For two days in a row I have been dragging myself to school at the crack of dawn just to earn a tad bit of money from invigilating.. And guess what, I realise that invigilation is the world's most boring job.. It requires you to just sit and stare *plays Jonas brothers, Stop and Stare* or walk around and stare *plays Jonas brothers, Stop and Stare*.. And truth be told, I am not even bothered if anyone cheats.. All I wish is for time to go faster.. And then I remembered how I wished I had more time during exams.. *takes back previous wish*


One more invigilation to go before I finish my task though, and at this moment, I have the strongest urge ever to either fake a sick call on that day, or just tell the Academic Administration Department that something came up and I won't be able to make it on that day.. Anyone has a suggestion?

And now a camwhore picture before I end my post..

Photoshop

Promised myself that I'd stay home today and get some paperwork done but I ended up photoshopping my picture and blogging instead..

And the results is as shown below:

Guess which is the before and which is the after?

Of course the right one is the after.. You can tell that.. Can't you? *sceptical look*

Anyway, coming up, an interesting post about me operating on my laptop.. Didn't manage to study medical and get my hands on operating a real being so I decided to do it on my dying laptop.. *wicked grin*

Ultimate Cheesy 7 Pizza

I have 2 reasons to post this: 1, my readers like reading my food post.. 2, i miss photoshopping.. so.. there u go..

Anyone craving for cheese? I recently saw lots of advertisement regarding this Ultimate Cheesy 7 pizza..

It contains 7 different cheese: Mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Provolone cheese, Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese & Cream cheese. I know, OMG right?!

As I was saying, if you are craving for cheese, this is one meal you are sure to help satisfy your craving.. And I mean like, satisfied for quite some time..

See that round buldging thingy? Thats cream cheese.. I tried eating the ball alone and it was cheesy and also kinda too salty at the same time.. But if you spread it around the pizza and eat it.. it is much much better.. =D

After having like 3 pieces of it, I told myself I wouldn't be in any hurry to eat cheese for the time being.. 


Don't believe me?? Look at the picture below:

Doesn't it look awesomely cheesy?? =D 


Its definitely a pizza that will cease your cheese craving for the time being.. hehe.. 


Until next time..

p/s: Did I tell you?

I cut my hair.. Quite some time ago actually..If you have my facebook, you'd notice..

I forgot to bring my keys home one day.. And since I was left stranded outside till someone comes back, I decided to go and cut my hair.. And the rest, is as you see below..

*blows thick dust away, and give it a good dusting*

Since I'm moody, I decided to drop by this deserted blog of mine..

*blows thick dust away, and give it a good dusting*

There you go..

As you know, I've recently become someone who only blogs once in a blue moon.. no point mentioning it every blue moon that I come back..

Also, I believe you guys know clearly why I disappear.. My life kind of lack the fun factor and is filled with the stress factor.. Ok.. That's that..

I've recently taken up some part time job to make ends meet.. In doing that, I have a more lenient restriction on how I spend my money.. But then again, my time is so packed I sometimes feel I don't have room to breath.. And yet, there is so many things I still want to do.. So many things I still want to achieve.. Recently however, I have this tendency to let things go.. I have this little voice behind my head telling me to stop trying.. to give up.. Worst thing is, its also asking me, why am I putting myself through all these? Will it do me any good?

There is a time in life, I suppose, when you get yourself so worked up for your goal, that at that point, you'd wonder, "is that goal really worth all that you put in?" "can you continue putting in those effort? for how long?"

I'm at that stage right now..

Canton I

I finally decided to go eat something I can easily get off the coffee shops on any street at a rather pricey location - Duck Rice & Roasted Pork Rice @ Canton I

And, in my opinion, the duck rice was quite a disappointment.. Perhaps the meat was more properly cleaned and garnish, but the taste.. hmmm.. not the best I've tasted..

The roasted pork on the other hand was awesome.. Thick crispy roasted pork.. You know how some times you go into a coffee shop and order roasted pork and they give you this tiny cut roasted pork with its lack of texture and extremely oily? This is different.. The roasted pork was thickly cut, and it somehow tasted compact and juicy.. Flavour was not really there though.. But the saddest thing was the whole roasted pork only had FOUR slices of meat.. T___________________T

Oh, and that drink at the right side in the picture is called a Flower Tea. Looks beautiful doesn't it? I remember one of my friend told me it looked like an alien.. ROFL I noticed that the flower tea was also available at Dragon I and then I was suddenly enlightened. I realised that Canton I and Dragon I should be owned by the same mother company because of the flower tea and also the similarity in the name.. Ok, don't laugh any more.. I know I sound like and idiot.. but so what? =P

Andes Pork Burger @ Aman Suria

Hi people!

I know.. I know.. Disappeared again right? Please forgive me? Or does anyone still read this piece of rubbish anyway?

Oh well, some long delayed posts on food again..

I have promoted this in numerous occasion to numerous people.. Andes sells amazingly tasty and juicy pork burger for a crazily affordable price..

It contains a large chunk of pork patties that is just too huge for the mouth alone.. And when you cut it open, melted cheese immediately flows out from the patties.. All this for the price of RM13.90.. I'm serious, only RM13.90.. And this is just a pork burger.. If you are a beef & pork person, they have the right combination for you.. You can try their Aussie Burger, a combination of pork and beef, giving an even more yummy taste to it.. Try it!!

Also, the ambience is beautiful.. Suitable for couples to have a quite lunch or dinner together at a nice cosy environment.. =)

A picture of ML taking a picture of the pork burger.. =)

What happens when you are bored..

Camwhore! =P

Again

He is going away for 1 month.. ONE MONTH!!! away from me again.. =(

This time without the luxury of being able to call him when and wherever I want.. Without the luxury of being able to know that he is just a phone call away or without being able to look forward to the Saturdays that we can spend together or the morning half an hour ride to work from the LRT.. T____________________T

I've been through this distance thing for so many years.. I thought it ended or perhaps I wish it ended.. But this time is even harder.. Communication is going to be so hard.. ='(

Imagination

I wanted to share this particular "imagination" I had with me and my friend on facebook.. But I just can't seem to make the picture bigger.. oh well.. try squinting if you are interested? *hints* it is funny.. =D

I often try my best in the things I do, perhaps put too much thoughts on some situations that I face in life, and more often than not think of the worst possible outcome when I foresee a situation.. Why you might ask? People even like to use this Chinese proverb one me: 船到桥头，自然直。(Direct translation: when the boat reaches the jetty, it will naturally parallel itself to the jetty.) I guess that may be true at some point of time, and also sometimes worrying too much might prove to be a total waste of time.

But I am who I am, and I do what I do, because I want to know that whatever happens, for good or for bad, in any one situation, that I know I've tried my best and have no regrets..

Food Food Food and more FOOD!! =D

After a long disappearance, I decided to post this piece of food entry of mine.. But after nicely editing them, I left them in my draft box, and never came around to post it.. Eventually, I post it on Facebook instead.. But since today I quite gatal tangan (itchy hands), I decided to post it up..

This tiramisu was taken at Suchan Deli, The Curve.. Price range  is RM11.90..

Top layer was filled with crunchy nuts..The second and lowest layer were sponge cakes and the middle layer was the real thing, tiramisu.. If you prefer a tiramisu that isn't bitter and more to a sweet type, then this is the choice for you.. I personally prefer the sponge layer to be less though.. =)

Watermelon chicken at New Paris Restaurant, SS2..

First time I tried something like this.. The chicken was cooked with sweet dark sauce with watermelon balls rounded using the ice-cream scoop.. Quite interesting.. 

Dang Gui Soup Herbal Soup set at Tan Sifu, One Utama..

All I can say is - authentic taste of chinese herbal soup!!

Mocha ice-cream with red bean at Sushi Tei, The Gardens

I used to dislike red beans a lot.. But the combination between red bean and green tea is simply awesome!!

Sakae Sushi's Soft Shell Crab Theme - Fresh Flavour Fushion, One Utama

Another interesting combination of fruits and soft shell crab.. not bad..

And one picture with me in it.. Seafood Platter for 2 at Fish & Co., One Utama..

In my opinion, a must try!!! hehe..

I wonder..

Sometimes I wonder, should I blame you for the way I feel or is it solely my fault for the way I feel?

Just a thought..

Will the fingers one day be replaced by the word "Ting"? *fingers crossed* =P

I saw a crab!!!

For those of you who do not have my facebook, or did see this particular picture that I have uploaded, the picture below here is a Fiddler crab. The name fiddle crab is apprarently given to it because it potrays a look of a crab that is fiddling.

I originally took this photo because I thought it was a handicap crab with only one claw. However, much to my limited knowledge, I was corrected by my friends who told me that the crab was not handicapped and it in fact did have 2 asynmmetric claws: one big and one small. The smaller claw is used to pick up food and bring it to the mouth whereas the larger claw are used in combat of courtship over females by male crabs. A rather interesting story from a funny looking crab photo that I took at a seafood restaurant, at Padang Pasir.

I'm Still Here

Truth be told, I have not been blogging for awhile.. I have actually not been doing anything much exciting to blog about in awhile.. Ok, let me rephrase that, I have not been doing anything much exciting a few weeks ago.. So there was practically no pictures or any interesting thing to talk about.. Well, unless you don't mind reading about me fretting about lab work over and over again, about the mess I am in, and about all the paper work I have to do..

Anyway, just a short post for today.. And you'll see more picture post in the days to come.. I hope to keep you guys entertained (for those remnants that still view my blog, that is..).. Stay tune.. =)

p/s: What do you think about the shirt I'm wearing? Mum bought it.. I just wore it.. Think its kinda lala.. LOL

Restaurant with a funny name

Never thought someone would create a shop with this title..

aand if you look closer, you'll see that its by 鸟生蛋.. Direct translation, Bird lay egg.. =.=|||
but I suppose, he was trying to do a direct translate of English to Chinese.. Nelson Tan.. swt..

Mother's day gift

A simple mummy's day gift we bought for mummy on mother's day. The expression she gave when she saw the flower was priceless.. =D

Harry Potter

Omg omg!!! I want to watch!!! =D

I don't care what other people think.. I love this movie.. =P

I hate those idiots/ ads software that keep posting nonsense on my chatter box..

Buzz off PIGS!!!

Ok, I've release some tantrum for now.. Good night.. =D

Internet, a distraction..

Today I told myself, at least 2 miRNA information I'd look in to (oh yea, miRNA in lay man's term is a very short RNA).. I even told myself that I'll wake up early to do it.. *claps hand for self*

Guess how much I've done??
None..

Guess why??
Cause the internet brings about too much distraction..

Excuses.. Yes, I know..

Oh well, Happy Labours Day anyway..

I promised to go get that 2 miRNA information now.. *fingers crossed*

My Honeymoon Dessert

Decided that we'd go have dessert for lunch today and ended up at My Honeymoon Dessert. Have been wanting to try out the durian pancake there for quite sometime now, but never actually stepped in there up until today.

Overall, I'd say the desserts were quite good. The variety of choices were quite vast as well. If you are looking for desserts that are not too sweet, then this is what you are looking for. The Durian Pancake (RM9) had a generous amount of durian flesh in it with just the right amount of cream wrapped around it. However, be forewarned, make sure you eat it while its cold, otherwise, you're definitely not going to find it as good as I did. When eating the Sasame paste dessert with Tau Fu Fah (RM6) (can't remember the exact name =.=), make sure you mix the whole thing well, it taste a whole lot better after I did that. The Mellow Fellow Pastry (RM16) looks absolutely gorgeous. In my opinion, a perfect combination of sweet, crispy and  yummy. A small problem though, it was kinda hard to eat when the top crispy layer starts to soften, b'cause, the heavy ice-cream on top will tend to fall off.

Oh well, to prevent from boring you all off. That's all I'm sharing for this post. Do try it when you have the chance. They have quite a number of branches.

Till then, bye! =D

Just because,

I was thinking of offering someone help today without any other intentions, just purely to help this person. And then a thought came to me, why should I offer to help someone who did not ask me for it? Why should I help if there is no return in favour for me?

This is what experience in this world thought me. To be a selfish person. But then I thought, where was the harm in helping? Will I lose anything? Does it really matter? And in the end I decided, I'm going to help. Just because I want to, and thats a reason good enough for me..

=D

Tired of Acting

So tired of acting.. I just want to be myself..
So tired of the frustration.. of the problems.. so tired of putting a tough face.. a cheerful expression..
So tired.. So so so tired..

I saw this by chance of the internet and thought it was quite interesting.. =)

*Click*

At times in live, I wish I could just click the fast forward button and all at present would just fast forward.. I wouldn't have to bare the heart breaking disappointments, the unbelievable unluckiness or the dreadful waiting.. But then again, in doing so, I'd most likely just end up regretting for missing those "moments in life".

Oh well, I just hope all these will make me a stronger and a better person..

Something to keep me moving

Just give it up b'cause,

Chillex

I think I'm finally getting old and leaving the so called "up and hip" society. The world "chillex" that never existed in my dictionary actually exist.. Chillex actually means chill and relax.. And they have a restaurant named chillex as well..

True to its name, it is quite a nice place to chill and relax.. And..

 The food has quite a pretty outlook..

 And they provide alcoholic beverages, however,

 Sorry to say that in my opinion, the food is really not up to expectation.. I really did not enjoy the meal.. The only thing good is that the service was quite good and the environment was nice.. I really hope they can improve in their cooking standards..
