Sick...

Yesterday: I started off my day with terrible cough and the return of my running nose. I bumped into my boss at the car park and at the pantry. Haha, it's kinda odd that I get to see him twice in an hour time because I never even get to meet up with him for the past 1 month I have been here despite setting up appointments with him. The temperature in my office was much colder than it used to be somehow, I had my sweater on right right after I reached my cube. After a little bit of e-mails and work here and there, I headed for the department meeting.. urghh... I couldn't stand the cosy lightings and enviroment in the hall... and doze off... zzz...

After lunch hour, I started to feel lethargic and my body ache worsen. Initially I thought it was caused by the paintball. But every moment that passed by deteriorated my condition, until my productivity rate was zero. For the very first time, I left office at 3:30pm and headed to the one and only panel clinic that I knew. -.-", I guess I was driving in a little clumsy manner because of the lack of alertness caused by the fever, but thank God I managed to reach the clinic safely, got my med, and got home safely too. Without a second of delay, I lied flat on my bed after I had my medicine.

Thanks to J for getting me Kool Fever and fish porridge during dinner time. Thanks to all the CG members for their prayers too. Thanks to F for offering me his nicely peeled chesnut! And thanks J again for bringing me fruits after CG (well, I skipped CG :S)

Today: Hmm, I feel much better today! But I kinda lost my voice due to the cough. Haha, luckily my 1:1 is not today, otherwise my boss will have to suffer hearing my 'defected' voice!

Lost Season 3 Finale and...

WOW!!! Lost Season 3 finale is so cool! The flashbacks are totally unpredictable until the very end of Season 3. Just as I thought that their success of getting off the island marked the ending of the series, the subtitles showed that there would be a Season 4! OUCH! As though this is not shocking enough, there will even be season 5 and 6, which means that Lost will only end in 2010! But there are still plenty of puzzles scattered here and there to be revealed to complete the whole storyline. Lost has certainly gained its flavour again!

Too Tired...

Training, training, training... currently I have been busy catching up with bootcamps, and self-training for my new job. Been spending my free nights locking up to the laptop and WFH (not Wong Fei Hung, it's Working From Home). Currently the same scenario is happening... but it's a lil relaxing now cos I get to take a break and blog a lil as I am waiting for the 40-min simulation to be done.

Hmm, I guess I really need more rest, more hours of sleep daily. The piggy me had been getting like 7-8 hours of zz daily back at 2 months ago before I started to rush for my FYP right until now... . Nowadays, a 6-hour sleep sometimes can seem contenting to me already. I believe I can't live on with this bad lifestyle. You know what, something imminent happened this morning. I was driving to workplace, and as usual (because this is Penang!), I was being 'cut-Q' by those zig-zag drivers :S that these ppl actually always caused me to get stuck at the orange light right before me, sien! First traffic light kena, 2nd traffic light, kena again, then 3rd one, kena too! Sigh... So I waited and waited... until I fell asleep! By the time I opened my eyes, the car in front of me was like 100m away! Hmm, surprisingly the car behind me did not honk me... or maybe I just didn't hear it?

I must get more rest... gotta get this training done real soon and get back to my normal life...

Am I MIA Again?

Hehe, seems like I have been quite inactive in blogging lately... I have been busy with work, plus I only have the chance to access the internet from office. You can't expect me to be blogging from office, right?

Right now I am sitting here in Sunway Tunas waiting for CG members to arrive for dinner. It's supposed to have started like 20minutes ago, but I just start to see their arrival now :S.

Highlight of these 2 weeks: I went to Gurney last Thursday night. Before I caught Spiderman3 in GSC, I had my meal at Fish&Co. Being the 'tai tao har' I sometimes am, I left my hp on the dining table. But I tell you what, the waiters there are so honest they actually called J's number (probably because he was the last person who sms me) and we quickly claimed my hp. Hmm, either my hp is too lousy (nokia 6600) or they are really honest people. I hope the latter is true-er :P

Ok, CG will begin soon, better stop blogging. I will come back with something more interesting once I have my internet connection! God bless ya~~

Places To Eat, YUM!

I am back!!! Did anyone miss me? :P Well, I have been really busy for the past week, and had limited access to the internet, hence I couldn't find time to make any new post. So here I am, spending my LAST day in USM, yeah, seriously, this will be the last night I will be staying in this house... will be leaving this memorable place the very next day... and for good... :(

Having that said, I am going to write something about the food and places to eat around USM, yeah! Initially when I came here, I found out that the food totally sucked (eurkss, I never liked any food in *9 other that its nasi lemak). The food in Parit Buntar area is like a treasure waiting to be found and unveilled. The truth is, there are plenty of really good and unique food in this area!

Bagan Samak('river' food), Sg Kerian(Laksa), Juru Autocity(international), Serdang(fried porridge)

The first pic is Bagan Samak, where you can get really tasty 'sam mei yu' (3 tastes fish), I don't know why it's called 3-taste, probably cos it's sweet, sour and spicy? Err... You can also get really big prawns, etc. Since fresh water living are the main ingredients for most of the dishes, the chef need to have really great skills to make them trigger your taste buds! Next is the famous laksa near Sg. Kerian, at just RM2/bowl. Hehe, that's the reason I always have two bowls during each visit. The business is so good that the owner only runs his business on Saturdays! And usually you gotta line up to get your seat! Going a lil further from PB area, we have Serdang (which is about 25 mins drive from PB) for its famous 'fried porridge' (hmm, fried foods are supposed to be dry... so what's fried porridge really about?). This is the place that never fails to impress anyone whom I recommend the place to. Sometimes you gotta make advance booking before going too. Moving even more further is Juru Autocity, you can get any kind of food you want there basically. There are Korean, Japanese, Laotian, Vietnamese, Thai, Western and Chinese food, all centered in this place which is also loaded with luxurious cars from Honda to Ferrari. Don't know why the people there are so rich... hmm...

There are many more great places to eat which I haven't mentioned, but let me show you the ultimate place to eat here... TADAA!!!

Food fair in my house!



Haha! That's my place! :P The best part of it is that it's free from MSG, keke. And let me tell you something that may surprise you, I am the main chef!!! Ok, you must be doubting the taste of the food (maybe I am not good at making jelly :S), nvm... Let's see if you'll be lucky enough to get the chance to try out my 'sao sai' in the future. Hehe...



So here I am, wrapping my last blog from USM... I am gonna miss the people, the lifestyle, and this 'unhappening'(that's what everyone says, but I like it that way) place. Bye bye, USM...

Be StRoNG!

It's good when you don't have a boyfriend around you when you are at that pace of life transitioning to being independent and learning how to live on your own. This pace of life strucks me during my campus life. When I first entered uni and lived away from my family, it wasn't really a huge change to me as I could still depend on my ex during the first year. Hmm, somehow I just tend to be dependent when the there was a person I knew I could rely on was just so reachable. Now, that wasn't healthy.

After we got off from our relationship, I started to be independent and I actually loved that! That's when I really start to learn about responsibilities and know how to appreciate better the little things that people around me do for me. Usually when I don't get my hands on doing something, I won't really know how much effort is required hence I tend to take things for granted. Being able to live on my own has made me so much appreciative and stronger; and that also makes my parents so much more confident of what I am able to do on my own now. Thinking back about it, it's funny how my Mom or Dad goes like, "WOW! You did it? You're really good!" everytime when I rebelliously do something they don't agree with just for the sake of protecting me, thinking that I am too infirm to handle it. Probably that's because I am the youngest child, and they see me as the feeble one who needs more protection, hmm... Anyway, I am just glad that I have proven to them that I can take good care of myself now :D At least they won't have to worry that much when I leave to Penang for work.

I guess if I have a boyfriend who is in the same campus with me throughout these years, I am still that dependent girl who just knows how to look to her boyfriend in times of troubles. It's a good thing I don't have one. And hey girls out there, even if you do have a boyfriend who is just a phone call away, try not to rely so much on him and challenge yourself to get things done on your own first. The gratification that comes from your achievement will surely give you a sense of victorious accomplishment that drives you forward to being stronger each time. Seek God for strength, He's stronger than your bf! Live up to the power within that God has blessed you, girls! Be like the PowerPuff Girls!

RM2 @ Sushi King!

My HD asked me for lunch once I logged in to my MSN this morning, I quickly agreed cos I thought it would be nice to catch up with him after not seeing him for quite some time. Fate was just not by our sides when a temptation too strong to resist lured me. MC told me that Sushi RM2 promo was back and said there was still one final slot left for me. Hmm, I love seafood and Jap food... so... I, I... 'aeroplane' my HD... gone... Gonna make it up to him someday.

We chose to go after lunch time to avoid the long queue. Well, it seemed that many students like us were thinking of the same thing, hence we waited for about 15mins for our turn, not too bad. That was when I decided to take some shots of the situation then. It was truly a satiable meal! What more could I ask for with every plate of sushi I ate only costed RM2 regardless of what it costs usually? GREAT value and yuMmY!


Waiting for the long Q...


The first time I've seen so many plates of sushi during a Jap meal (except for buffet) -.-"

Try to count the number of plates!
