Countdown till 2010!

Wow Christmas has come and gone! Exactly 3 days and its Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010! Honestly speaking, I'm not really lookin forward to the new year. I'll be a year older (ohno!!) and boyyy i predict 2010 is gonna be a long long year!! (specifically, a tough year at uni!) XD

Attended Sarah's small post-christmas gathering over at her place last night :)

With DR.Esther in-the-making who's back from Sydney. It's so good to reminisce on the old times back in high school. How i miss those times where we were so young and innocent! I'm glad she hasn't changed much!! :)

Sarah who's birthday i just found out falls on the 31st of Dec! How cool is that!


I love Christmas particularly due to the fact that there's lotsa parties going on and we can stuff ourself silly and have an excuse to do that! HAHA.

Some random pictures overdue from Ken's grandma's birthday dinner.

She had 3 cakes to cut! Haha.

Chocolate Mousse.

My all-time-favourite green tea cake!!! YUUMMSSS! :D

Peach Cake.
Oohh ALL the cakes were GOOD!!


With his cute granny who's favourite food is pizza and ice cream! I WAS SURPRISED O.O

Anndd who says old people don't eat fast food and take cold things?? XD

Ken's cousin Julie.

A picture his mum took. Nicest one of the two..both his head is cut off =.= This one seems not as bad XD


I've quite lost the passion to blog these days I feel so lazzyy. Was over at One U today for almost the whole day today window shopping. The crowd is madness ( i know i've rant about this b4!) but its seriously crazy! There's even queues to go into the fitting room can you believe it on a weekday?? O.O Managed to get a nice pair of wedges which i've been hunting for a long time :D Yay! Came home a happy girl. :)

Ah! Back to classes tmr. 10am-5pm so not looking forward :(

Having only twice a week classes is bad I soo feel like I'm on holiday. Oh nooooo.

xx

My favourite time of the year is hereee

WOOHOO!

Finally gonna catch Avatar tonight in 3D!!!! :D :D :D

Can't wait. Heard great reviews from everybody who has watched it. I have high hopes now! XD

Only had one day of classes this week, which I'm so thankful for :D I've been to two malls like 4 times in a span of 3 days can you believe it?? The malls are crazy! The crowd is like overflowing...even on a weekday, I felt like it was a weekend honestly. Mann, don't these people need to work??!!!! =.= instead of earning money they're spending money XD Perhaps, everyone's doin last minute Christmas shopping eh? ;)

Finally handed up my assignment today. I'm officially assignment-less till New Year when we have to start our next assignment due on the the 15th Jan! O.O Seriously, Gooi's a bitchh!! He can't even let us enjoy the holidays. =.=

Oohh HELP is efficient for once, and they've sent out the statement of results already. I wouldn't say my results are all that great, but well I've expected some but I didn't expect some as well. :( Like for FIN202..i thought I could get an A- but I only managed a B+. What on earth went wronggg XD Lol. Well..I heard alot of ppl thought they did okay but it turned out not beyond their expectations. I guess the exam being open-book made the marking really strict probably ><

Sorry for the wordy post. Have been so lazy to take out my camera these few days. Haha. Probably becos it takes lousy photos! I want a new cameraa! :P

Ah well, for now, I'm gonna enjoy the Christmasss holidays!!!!!! :D :D :D

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Singing makes you hyper

Red Box yesterday!

Planning a bit the fail but it turned out pretty okay, thank god! :)


Less people means more chance to sing! XD



When we came out with the suggestion to go karaoke at yamcha session last week, everybody said they could make it for sure. As usual, last minute people ffk. Sheesshhhhh! =.=


I think we kinda got ripped off. (We paid RM48 EACH!) Firstly, it being a public holiday we weren't entitled to the student discount. Okay, fine.

Then, we were anticipating 8 people. Last minute, two of them ffk-ed and said they couldn't make it. So we told them whether we could cancel 2 ppl off the list. They said cannot, too late. Okay, fine.

At least we should get like good service and good food right??!!


But noooo, this is the worst latte I've had in my entire life. Totally tasteless with three quarters 'fake' milk and a quarter of diluted coffee. :S I took a sip and ewww! And they took ages to bring our snacks. And the buffet line was crap.

Lesson learnt. I'll only go to Red Box during weekdays when they offer the student promotion! Better food and cheaper! I think we only paid less than RM15 the last time we went during a weekday.

With the few people we had, they got to sing (more like scream!) to their hearts content!




HAHA. And yes, they did sing that chinese vulgar song AGAIN! Not once, but MANY times.
P/S: Sharon, remember that song??!!!


We, the audience were so embarassed.

=.=

HAHA. THE KOKOMO SONG!!!!


We had fun anyways of course :)


My voice was sore the time we stepped out. Walked around for a bit, taking pictures and admiring the Christmas decos :)


THIS IS SO CUTE! HAHA. See the resemblance??!!



Totally GAY.

They were all hyper by now. XD

The Christmas Trees were all HUGE!!




Quite normal deco this time at the Gardens. The Pavilion one is much nicer. Apparently the OneU ones are nice as well though I haven't been there for some time now. My next shopping destination perhaps! :)




Don't ask me what ornament that is.


^^

Boy singing makes you dead tired. No wonder I'm tired in the shower :P

Now gotta upload the photos on fb for Little Miss Sandra. And perhaps catch up on my assignment.

Ohhh how I dread assignmentsssss! T__T

I hate you Gooi!!!

xx

Go easy on the apple pieee

I've been on a baking mode these past few days/weeks. Accomplished baking a carrot cake, walnut brownies and mint chocolate cupcakes in a span of less than 3 weeks. I'm so proud of myself :D (oh, and Ken too :P)

All first-time recipes used and thank God all turned out pretty yummy ^^

We made the mint chocolate chip cupcakes (we bought Lindt dark chocolate for the toppings which made it 100% nicer!!!) to bring to that pot luck party last week! Icing on cupcakes seriously makes it all the yummy-ier and makes it look really appetizing!!!!!


Haha I shall start making icing for my future cupcake-baking :D


And walnet brownies I made the day before. It'was recommended to be microwaved for 10 seconds and topped with vanilla ice-cream before serving. We didn't have that (we were wayyy too stuffed!) but I'm sure it would make it extra extra delicious!!!!! (with the extra calories, what wouldn't?? LOL!)


A different type of brownies made by a friend. We had two choices of brownies that night!


Super sweeett coconut balls with chocolate chip.


We even had chocolate fondue!!! It was quite untouched due to the fact that we had an overload of food! XD I wish my tummy had more space, I would have licked it through and through! Haha.


Another friend brought her Oreo Cheesecake to celebrate the December baby.


Make a wish and bloww!

Haha I just realised I only took the pictures of the desserts. Welll thats becoss the desserts were worth mentioning, and my camera went flat halfway through photo-taking so I couldn't take more :(

Peek-a-boooo!


One nice shot before my camera had to be mean and died on me :(


Mann I came home stuffed to the brim and I felt so uncomfortable. I came to a conclusion that :
Holiday season = overindulgence= BAD FOR HEALTH!

Haha. And I'm right! Read an article today in the NST that we should go easy on year-end parties as most of the food served are sugar, fat and calorie laden food :S And you know what's the highest calorie dessert on the list?

Apple Pie!

Darn. One of my favourites :( And I thought desserts like bread-and-butter pudding would make it to the top of the list heh? I don't get it tho. It's just apple! ( I thought fruits were healthy??!! XD) Probably apple by itself is healthy. We've to minus the sugar added to the pie eh? O.O

9 days to Christmas! My favourite time of the year! (besides CNY of course ^^)

Wheee!

Dear Mr,Santa

The past few days have been so hectic i barely had time for some proper beauty sleep. So today, I woke up at 12.30pm! hahahha oh boyyy sleep is good for the soul :)

Our Taylor's get-together for Pb4-ians on Saturday night was a success, I'm glad! :D Initially I thought there would be only the five of us usual ones who'll come, so it'was glad to see those long-time MIA people appeared to 'surprise' us like Jin, Jeff and Sandra! Haha. At least I wasn't the only girl to get picked on for once XD Was great being able to catch up with those back from abroad like Justin and Mark. We went to 3 places in one night! Met up at A&W initially, then some of them wanted to try the new Murni's at Aman Suria..headed there and they said they were closing =.= (like so earlyy wth!) so finally settled on Kayu. One of the longest yamcha sessions in my entire life, 5 hours of crap talking O.O HAHA

Such a shame I didn't have a camera with me that night so no picturess :( I'm camera-less for now :( :( Hunting for a good and reasonably priced one now. It has to take nice pictures!!!! The Lumix one I currently have takes crappy pictures :(

Dear Mr.Santa, I want a new camera for Christmas!! :D

Yesterday was the fund-raising over at church. Was dead tired when i got back. Slept soundly like a baby for 2 hours before I had to prepare for the Christmas dinner at night. Boyyy was there an overload of foood! XD Hahaha it's that time of the year again where lotsa indulgence is widely available and we've to practise self-control! HAHA. Pictures on that soon hopefully :)

I've only got one day of lectures this week! :D Woohoo! Red Box on friday!! :D (hopefully it turns out!)

Don't you love the 'holidays' ??!!

xx

Daddy, can you give me some chocolate?

I'm so glad we're mid-way throughout the week already. One more day of lectures tomorrow (dreading it!) and I'm off for the next one week :D

Woohoo! This semester feels very slacked. Haha XD

Anyways, some pictures from last weekend as promised :)

Ken dearie parent's anniversary over at Imperial Garden @ USJ 19 City Mall.


I haven't had 'fine-dining' Chinese cuisine for a while now. What's Chinese without suckling pig??? XD


Totally yummy but FULL of saturated fats resulting in clogged-arteries. Haha but nevertheless who can resist temptation, afterall it's once in a long time! XD

And Sharks-fin's soup! I would like to believe that no sharks were harmed during the preparation of this dish. I'm sorry sharkie!! :(


Sooo good I had two bowls :D

Also the main highlight for food was the roasted duck which I didn't manage to snap. Soft and tender ahh! I think total calorie intake for the night was very well over our recommended limit for the day HAHA XD

Good food really. But of course, with a 'good' price as well. Good things don't come cheap these days ya know? :(

Totally enjoyin the soup! XD


Ken kept teasing his cousin's hip-hop dressing..


But eventually tried to imitate him. HAHA.


There were so many lil babies running around. Boyy they're adorable!!!

TOO cute for school!!

Non-stop karaoke-ing. They don't need energy from the food. They went on and on and on XD



Yam-seng also non-stop.



Oh, and the elder ones (especially 'somebody') kept joining the kids for some adult fun.

Clearly, I can see!

Hahaha the lil boy's soooo cuteee! He's gonna have a lot of girl fans when he grows up seriously!


His lil brother a bit less cute..but still cute! ;)


This picture.. has a story to it.

I showed the lil boy this pic i took of him not smiling. And he was like " Ehhh I'm not smiling!!!" so i retook it.


Tada grinning from ear to ear! How adorableee! XD

Too much Henessy made my face go red for a bit.


Some aunties I don't know XD


And Ken dearie's family picture of the night with the couple of the night in between :)


Another celebration at the same place tomorrow for his grandma's birthday. I think they love that place because of the karaoke. LOL.

On Sunday, had a fund-raising charity bazaar over at my church to raise funds for the under-priviledged. We sold Chocolate Fondue with banana, strawberry or marshmallow dippings and Nyonya Kueh. :)

Yum yum! Who can say 'NO' to strawberries with chocolate dippings???!!!!!



Glad we managed to sell everything!! No wastage whatsoever!! :D :D

The fondue was the bomb!


The team with some missing.


:)

Halfway through during the break, some of them got really wild and all hyper.


And why am i not surprised.


My girlies since I was a kid :)


Best-selling nyonya kueh!


When we were packing up, this fellar here offered us money so that he can lick the chocolate fondue pot.


Seriously, I thought he was kidding!! O.O


GROSSSS!!!! Well, anything for charity ^^

Can't blame him for the chocolate was very darn tasty!!!!!


HAHA.

Another round this weekend. Cotton Candy up for sale this week! :D Haha we're gonna give the kids diabetes XD

One of the fun weekends after a longgg time. I love decembers! Somehow rather there's a lot of things to do in December. Probably becos Christmas and New Year's comin up so everybody's in the mood for party. Ooh speaking of which, I've got a Christmas Dinner party to attend this weekend as well wooohoo! :D

Too bad lectures currently have to dampen the mood. BOO! I think I did rant before that this is the FIRST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE I'm studying in the month of december. SAD CASE, SERIOUSLY. Thank God I only have classes twice a week so it's not TOO bad. ^^

Okay, enough ranting. Off to bed now.

Dreading Mr.Gooi at 10am tmr. Argh!
